What some people in the South call it... Not I. I know that the right side won... :grumpy: (The capitalists won!! Yay capitalists!!!) ;)

It would depend on a few things: 1) We need a reason. If we have proof that the government was involved in 9/11, that's good enough for me. If it was certain citizens, then we should demand that those citizens be brought to justice and insist the the government cooperate. Regime change alone...

Nah. :) It probably got lost there for awhile today, but you and I have been on friendly terms in the past. We've been able to disagree without being disagreable...

I just read through them, and I'm really not sure which ones you're talking about. Could you be more specific? If you're talking about "Is Suppression a Rule of Marxism," I started that one because of a disagreement I was having with some people on the right... I know exactly what you mean...

The thing to do would be to ignore those people. They're not making an argument, they're just trying to score points.

I didn't even remember that I had mentioned Bin Laden in that thread. I wasn't trying to paint you with a brush, I was trying to explain my view on how the political spectrum should be drawn and where nazis fall on it. If you read the thread, I was trying to refute the claim that fascism is a...

I'm not sure about a democratic communist nation, but a totalitarian capitalist nation is an impossibility. In order to squelch any resistance to the tyranny, the state must take control of property. Financial independence from the state is what gives people the basis to pursue freedom. That's...

Yes, but I think you already knew that... :hmm:

The post you made that started this discussion was posted 4/13/03 03:39am. In it you said: I bumped the thread Name this Tune at 4/13/03 10:20am, i.e., six hours and twenty-one minutes later. What I am trying to find out is which thread you were referring to in the post I quoted above...

No, Squiggy. I bumped that thread in response to you saying that I had made some reference to the Nazis being leftists while you were gone. I was assuming that you were right, that I had said that at some point in the past week, so I bumped that old thread from way back to show you my argument...

Sure. :) Native: Are you gods? Brit: Englishmen... next best thing. :D

You need to find that post and show it to us, because I've searched through my posts of the past couple of weeks and I can't find it. If you want to make that argument why don't you go to the thread I started on the subject and answer my arguments there?

You mean they didn't hate the Jews when they attacked them, only after they got their butts kicked? ;) I think the main point is that we don't need to worry about whether they like us, only whether they respect us enough to leave us alone. As a secondary point, I think they will like us much...

Squiggles doesn't want to go after SA, Prof, he just wants to make the problem to big to solve. He tried to deny it, but when I posted this in response, he dipped out of the conversation and never replied. :shrug:

I could give you a vote on whether they should, but whether they will is beyond me. They're certainly making noises about it, but I find it very had to read Bush. He's been keeping the diplomacy door open, which often makes him look weak to me; but at the same time he lets the Pentagon plan for...

Yes, I think that's the key. Ideologies that are developed as rationalistic abstractions with no connection to reality are a destructive force. They can pile up corpses all around them without questioning the results, as long as they are following the doctrine. Principles have to be derived from...

We did this a few months ago when I was on the RW. I think this was the test on which I couldn't even get past the first question because it was worded in such a way that there was no answer that I would agree with. There is another test called the world's shortest political test, or...

LL is such an easy target, isn't he? Any time you want to trounce the "other side," all you have to do is gang up on him. No, Squiggy made sure of that... I don't care whether people respect my opinion. All I care about is whether I get arguments in return for my arguments. That's the...

You mean tossing it back to you, don't you? Haven't you been insisting that the nazis are right-wing? You're just pissed at having it thrown back to the left where it belongs, and not being able to field it. Let's get it straight, though. I never once called you a nazi, or tried to pin that...

Are you sure about that Gonz? I thought that the only missing soldiers who were classified as POWs were the ones who had been shown on Iraqi TV (the five from the 507th and the two from the downed apache), and that these seven were them. I thought the rest were considered MIA, since there was no...
