You forgot to mention that they are all shape-shifting lizards!
It's well known that if all the cat videos and porn disappeared from the internet there would be only one site left and it would be called whereareallthecatvideosandporn.com
:laugh: Poor, poor David I. I feel sorry for him and moreso for the fools that hang on his every word. The worst part is that he has so much of the truth and he's a brilliant presenter so when he mixes it all up with a pack of lies his audiences just swallow it all down and are as oblivious to the difference as he is. A footballer given an open goal and lacking the basic training to take advantage of it. :sigh:

You are correct in a wider sense but we're talking specifically about a political bloc that promulgates a particular economic stance and justifies it, each time they gain power, on the perceived failings of the previous government rather than admitting (as if that would ever happen) that what they are promising to do will make things even worse. The thing with 'socialists' is they want everyone to wear a cloth cap and live in a 2-up, 2-down whilst they reap the rewards of being in power. Conservatives, on the other hand, are quite happy to let you know how rich they already are but at least bring economic common sense to the table (usually). Again, I've lived through a number of these cycles so am under no illusions as to how bad all sides of the spectrum really are; I simply see socialists as the worst possible choice in a democratic society: it leaves everyone poorer.

Are you inferring that you are not human?

LOL: not a single event: I've lived through a number of "Labour" (for which read socialist and, sometimes, closet communist) governments and, without fail, they do the same thing each and every time even after promising they won't: tax and spend.

I am stating that most humans do not consider the past when making decisions. Politics has nothing to do with it.

Not sure what that means in terms of my comment. But again politics has nothing to do with my comment.

I don't want to say you are wrong (because you are right in some way). But, well in Germany we had a so called social capitalism (it's still called so, but they perverted the term social) and I think that's a good combination. Everyone can live from the money he earns and still - if you want to and have the right ideas - you can get rich. Socialism is not possible in our world, it can't work, and capitalism pervertes often the "work" of people, that they can't live from their jobs.
