You mentioned 6 out of 200 countries in the world, you dick.
Also, the "you can not afford healthcare" argument is not valid. A country's first obligation is to keep its population safe, and healthcare is one of the top means of doing this.
Oh, and while you Americans argue about whether the US can or can not afford its people's health, you have no problem throwing out trillions for warfare and weapons.
the US's lap dog emulates its master. Cameron must have figured out that, if US corporation can make big money out of healthcare, then britfag corps can do the same...and gratefully share some profit with his party...
Uh dude, I fully agree with you, but this guy is just the average 'Murrican. Met em a lot last year in the midwest, ready do wipe out the ayatollahs in Iran (Nevermind they can not even find Iran on a map); the same type of people who keep GW Bush pics on the wall because Hussein Obama is not their president. Oh, and they think that Obamacare is socialism and fascism combined etc. etc.
That made me turn my back on the US after a year and return to Europe, here at least I can choose the country and the political system I want to live in. It makes me feel sorry for some very fine American people I met there, and had to leave behind!
your own CNN or FOX news eyes?
I have been to the US, China and Myanmar lately, and honestly, the US population has no real conception of the outside world. OTOH those great freedoms you keep talking about, just do not exist in the US.
Face it, you are being given a similar treatment the Soviet population has been given decades ago: The external enemy is lurking behind the corner...and he is reeeealllyyy eeeeevil:-)
Gah, you have to be trolling. A rebellion is not just a black market gang.
You obviously have no idea how rebellions start! Most of them actually get hijacked by criminals and other violent opportunists - your standard black market gang!
Syria ranked 105 out of 179 countries on Human Development Index in 2006.Syria is also one of the few Arab countries that have achieved the target of universal primary education. It is showing remarkable progress in achieving other MDG targets: the gender gap in enrollment is small, with gender parity index of enrollment at primary level at 95 percent and 96 percent at the secondary level in 2007.[2] Literacy rate is estimated at 82 percent in 2004 which is also higher than the average for MENA and lower middle income countries (LMIC ). Literacy among youth (15 to 24) stood at 92.5 percent in 2004
Like all Middle Eastern states, labeled as enemies by the US, Syria has a high literacy. So had Iraq (Soviet influence), Iran (Soviet influence), Libya (Soviet influence), South Yemen (Soviet influence), etc.
Unlike Americas illiterate dictator friends: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, North Yemen.
But, the Syrians can deem themselves lucky, now that the US's bearded friends are bringing "democracy" to their neighborhood...
I think you overrate Iran's influence on Syria. Although the Alawites were quite friendly to Iran, Syria was and is a strictly secular state, and like all other ME players, it's trying to keep the balance of power by maintaining foreign influences and alliances. After all, without Hezbollah keeping them busy, Israel could get some funny ideas; especially shortly before elections...
Also, what is it that the Syrians did *not* do by themselves? They are a sovereign state, period!
Uh, Taiwan *is* a part of China; not even the Taiwanese deny that. OTOH, the US pissed on many South American democracies, helping their militaries to oust democratically elected governments - see Chile, Bolivia, Venezuela, Cuba,....
No, it means those people will do something else other than manufacturing.
Like what, being artists and/or bankers? Most service jobs today are being replaced by software or outsourced. Profits and wages for a small group of people have risen astronomically, while the rest is in decline!
Your words are wasted, they do not listen...
I just hope more Europeans will start to think the way you do! There are still far too many Europeans, who think the US is their savior, and that we should see the US as a role model for Europe *shudder*
Dude, lawyers have taken over our society by creating rules and making sure to enforce them - in most countries they are at the heads of the legislative *and* the executive branches of a government. Basically, the whole government is lawyers.
Since the police and the army are obliged to follow the rules, set by lawyers, as they are obligedto follow their orders, there is really no way for the rest of us to stop them.
And, please, don't start about democracy and elections, as there you are given only the choice between 2 lawyers (or an actor, set forth by the lawyers).
So, the should you feel the urge to kill a lawyer, please go ahead, as this would be in the interest of all non-lawyers and in the interest of democracy, and humankind in general!
Uh, which lawyers do actually protect us? The ones who take a bunch of money from you because their colleagues created unreadable laws, or the ones who cash in on you extort^H^H^H^H^H^H suing someone else?
I disagree! Some posts even encouraged the protection of kiddie porn as free speech. what the grandparent was talking about is pragmatism; and I agree with him.
Currently, I see many US citizens carrying the corporate flags against the oppression and tyranny of the government...how ironic, when you look at how little the corporations care for people and their needs!
Many wars have been incited by incompetent politicians, trying to hide their political failures. Happened also in the US, a couple of years ago! I also agree that a person craving for power should never be allowed to such a position; otherwise a political clown could suddenly show off as a war hero, declaring "Mission accomplished!"; and no one dares to criticize a war hero!!!!
As to my credibility:
I lived and studied in Bosnia in '92. Serbs armed their own civilians in areas where they held the majority, and handed out lists of Croats and Bosniaks known to posess guns - they got taken out one by one - often with the help of their neighbors, who now were scared of the hostile gun nut on the other side of the street, even though they might have known this neighbor for a long time. The only thing worse than an armed moron, is a terrified armed moron; that one will shoot first and think later. I think you know to what this led. Oh, and just for the record, the Bosniaks and Croats did the same thing in areas where they held a majority.
Think a bit about this: Are you really sure that such a scenario would be impossible in a country like the US?
Uh,
well, This means that I will continue to make my money in the US, but will keep paying taxes to another country, that takes care of my and my family's health and safety.
I hope the US government will find a way to erase this amendment. The people in this country deserve better than this constant intimidation by gun wielding wackos!
So, to these people, inciting a riot or a civil war is perfectly acceptable if their believes come in conflict with the laws of the country they live in?

... targeting political opponents from within!
...but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to keep doing it.
Soooo, and you suggestion is??
Yes, and America belongs to Spain, in the first place ... out with you, English Scum!
Oh, and a psychopath!
You,Sir, are an idiot!
