Yes, I know that, but what's your point? I just said I'm not a communist. So... what are you trying to prove?
Yes. Believe it or not, capitalism and socialism can co-exist.

For once I agree with Tornadot. It's like Maggie Thatcher annihilating the British coal industry and forcing us to rely on more foreign coal. We're st...
Are we going to listen to my earlier advice in this topic about the sheer futility of so polarised a debate now? I really think we should because this...
Took the words right out of my mouth, Cooki. Well said.
Pfft. Don't try to glorify the job of soldiers in this issue, Jimro. Iraq was not a threat. We are no safer now than we were before the attack started...

Heh, nice one Cycle, but with more cursing than I'd use. Ah well, each to his own. Quote:And The Great Leader of the Free World also brushed off a ...
Yeah, I posted a webcomic on it earlier in the topic. I think it got ignored though. It's there though. I'll see if I can find a link... Bleh, error ...

Yes, I know. You see, I know very well that admitting he was wrong would be the end of George W. Bush's presidential career, but somehow, that really ...
Oh, I know that very well, Harley. But tell me, what's worse? Watergate (in which no one died) or Iraq (in which thousands of people have died needles...
With all due respect, Torn, read Cycle's essay response on the Republican definition of 'strength'. Do you really think Bush is a great, strong leader...
Ah yes, Cycle, I heard of Bush's reaction to the news that the USA was under attack... Honestly, I'd have performed better than he did that day. The l...

Honestly, no. But if it was a choice between him and Bush, I'd be begging to work for Kerry. Pretty dumb question to ask Cycle or myself really if ...
Agreed. That's one of the problems... As long as people in the USA are afraid of going about their daily lives terror then the terrorists get what the...
I think Bush threw that idea out the window three years ago, Tornadot... if it ever existed in the USA. It's interesting though. A protester for fath...
Not really. I'm not going to tell you to shut up about it.
Laugh all my like, Cycle, but all polls should be taken with a pinch of salt and any polls conducted by blatantly partisan sources should never be tru...

I'd say that's a logical assumption, Cycle. Considering that if you do question the existence of God you must be, in turn, questioning the authenticit...

Would you care to elaborate? Personally, I'm offended by the suggestion that my views are 'merely an opinion', whereas yours have some sort of divine...
It seems to me that you're suggesting that Bush and everything he has done is perfectly right by some sort of divine definition and, for those who dis...

If I have a problem with Jimro, that's my business, and not open for discussion here. I've been on this message board for over 3 years; long enough ...
Yes, that was all. I don't agree with Tornadot's views. That doesn't mean I don't like Tornadot.
And some people think I'm taking things personally. Honestly.
You got it, Tornadot. Honestly, I respect you, and I've no reason to dislike you. Though sometimes in conversations where one feels strongly about a ...
And I was talking to Jimro, who did come here when someone from his message board posted a link to the AID's topic in MFC2, bringing a load of people ...
I could ask the same question of you to be fair. Why did you come to this message board? Oh! I remember, because you and your pals took the fact that...
