Cap'n Refsmmat Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 how the hell can you call bush a christian??? He says "God Bless America" and goes to church, I suppose.
Pangloss Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Well, this thread has certainly taken a nosedive.

john5746 Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 words from one who has not studied socialism. socialism is capitalistic' date=' actually. communism is not. socialism is capitalism with restrictions. a socialistic law present in the united states is the sherman antitrust act[/quote'] That's one definition of socialism, seems there are various forms - must be a religion! I haven't studied socialism and communism much, just like I haven't studied S**T much, but I know it smells bad and I don't want a taste! If your definition of socialism is utopia, then of course it sounds good. In any case, socialism requires the state to control assets. So, it is a matter of how much that should occur. Too little, and the poor suffer and the middle class shrinks. Too much and the wealthy suffer and everyone becomes poor. Do you see a positive correlation between socialism and living standards in nations? I mean theory is one thing, but actual empirical evidence is another.

budullewraagh Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 that doesnt make any sense. capitalism doesnt imply free market you know
Skye Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Socialism has many incarnations. Some favour some level of a free market, some don't.
Pangloss Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 And you win the Captain Obvious award of the week!!! (tears) You like me! You really like me!!!! (shakes statue over head)
r1dermon Posted October 14, 2004 Author Posted October 14, 2004 i would also like to know how "capitalism with restrictions" is an oxymoron
Douglas Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 i would also like to know how "capitalism with restrictions" is an oxymoron Well, if "military intelligence" is an oxymoron then "capitalism with restrictions" is an oxymoron
r1dermon Posted October 14, 2004 Author Posted October 14, 2004 he is trying to imply that there are no restrictions in capitolism...however, in OUR capitalism there are many restrictions...monopolies?
budullewraagh Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 that doesnt make any sense whatsoever. only free market capitalism/neoliberalism is without restrictions
Penticostal8 Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Man people, I was just stating my personal views over why I support Bush, you all suddenly got hteful and jumped down my throat. All I was doing is stating a harmless opinion and I got attacked. I support Bush you do not. What is there to get all hateful about? And I'm sure for what I just said here someone is gonna find some rude thing to say. It never fails.
Penticostal8 Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 And another thing this debat here is called "Why do you support Bush" I stated why i support Bush, is that not what I'm supposed to do?
Skye Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Discussions don't really get very far if people don't reply, and they are hardly interesting if everyone is in agreement.
budullewraagh Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Man people, I was just stating my personal views over why I support Bush, you all suddenly got hteful and jumped down my throat. All I was doing is stating a harmless opinion and I got attacked. I support Bush you do not. What is there to get all hateful about? i believed i challenged your statements. if you have a counterargument, i am open to hearing it. if you do not, accept the fact that i challenged your statements.
john5746 Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Man people' date=' I was just stating my personal views over why I support Bush, you all suddenly got hteful and jumped down my throat.

Only three people commented on your posts and I saw no hate. As for being attacked, well, this is the politics section and it is an election year. I usually type with one hand and cover my nuts with the other. And another thing this debat here is called "Why do you support Bush" I stated why i support Bush, is that not what I'm supposed to do? You did fine. But you have to expect a little flack when you take a strong stance. Especially when you mix religion with politics. Are you used to everyone agreeing with you when you talk about religion and politics? Things may be a little different here. You aren't going to let it scare you away, are you?
Phi for All Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Shut up buttwipe. Sorry' date=' but you asked for it.[/quote']See what I mean, Penticostal8? Don't you just feel the love?
Mad Mardigan Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 I heard this, and thought it was good. John Kerry, He throws away someone else's medals. He drives someone else's SUV. He marries someone else's wife. He inherits someone else's money. I think we should all vote for him, to go be president of someone else's country.
Penticostal8 Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Shut up buttwipe. Sorry' date=' but you asked for it.[/quote'] Now see, I don't understamnd why people have to be so imature about little stuf like this. Thats sad. But hey, I guess some people just never grow up.
Penticostal8 Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 See what I mean, Penticostal8? Don't you just feel the love? Tell me about it.
