It takes guts to be cold-hearted economic rationalists.

And it's not like emperor worship did any harm. Almost all had chosen to reign, not rule

Last time I checked, you're apart of the west, and YOU did nothing too. There's no point playing the blame game now, it's a time for rebuilding. Give to Oxfam, petition the gov. for aid, but dont just sit in your little self-assured world and pretend it's too big for anyone to handle.

I wont retreat from that...although i cant really argue with Jamaca. The context that I used philistine in was 'natural enemy'...i think this should be in the political correctness thread.

The whole reason that the attack occured before polling time indicates that it is more likely internal. I mean, there still hasn't been any evidence of al qaeda being linked with iraq at all. There are doubts about the evidence of al qaeda, some critics accuse the gov. as swinging that way for...

*packs bags*

This is a commemoration of unspeakable acts. Not a time to sit on your fat arse attempting to sound smug about the fact that you have no obligation or feelings for the event. "HA! These people caused this, and these people did nothing to prevent it--im just happy with the knowledge that it was...

It isn't established who commited the train bombings, therefore there is no way of knowing these people's demands. It's pretty insensitve to say that our Spaniard friends clearly gave in to the terrorists when they held record solidarity marches throughout the country to clearly express the...

Keep on truckin' philistine

You're right. Just give whoever/whatever it is you cant stand about the US a few nukes, and they'll blow up the f*@%ing planet. I wish I weren't so naive as to think that if anything, nuclear weapons are a deterent against any military action...even though this has been proven ever since...

appauling

I concurr doctor. Culturally of course we identified much more with Britain and im the last one to understate the monarchy's value to us. But after ww1, New York was the new London. Europe's days were over...but yeah, cant argue that we really gave up the practical ties to britain until...

You haven't met SKA have you euripidies? I think you'd hit it off.

The word 'appeasment' is preety vague. I mean, this isn't a clearly defined enemy, despite what Downer says. And there's not a very serious movement to pull out of Iraq. When latham suggested it, it was his first booboo...apart from the taxi driver and stuff...

Zizz zam and wooz swash aside monkey boy, are you actually offering any kind of solution or plan for a better world? All im hearing is some dickhead on his soapbox, with no practical solutions for anything, just a real cookee site and a copy and paste ability. No offence, but you're not God's...

1. Is that english? 2. It's a fact now that the USSR was neither communist or socialist? 3. "Socialism in one country"...yeah, that one country being the rest of the world after it was aquired by them 4. We were talking about the US's role in the UN, in which you so FACTUALLY said was...

*excited about reactivating republican debate* But what about all the damn Irish in Aust.? I think the reason we joined the war was because of Menzies (dont get Asquith started on him)

The UN's predecessor (League of Nations) had NO chance of success BECAUSE the US wasn't appart of it. In fact, on of the Leagues accomplishments was to boot out the USSR for...what was it? oooo that's right, gross humanitarian injustices and expansion of its borders...aka imperialism. If you...

I vote to change the grammar of this thread, Anarchism: for dummies.

I wonder if you could compare the UN to communism: All good in theory, but nobody will put theory about self interest without incentive. The US might be the most powerful nation on earth, but in terms of standard of living, they've got nothing on us, or canada, or even the UK. Im so sick of...
