    You know who holds the 2nd spot on biggest act of terrorism in the US? Oklahoma City. You know, those right wing christians that blew up a building of government workers that weren't even in the same state as the people that angered them... But hey, that's not a big deal. Ever see what sort of terror is inflicted on people trying to get an abortion in certain states? Radical fanatics are pretty much the same, no matter what religion they come from.

    The government did that as a false-flag style op. They do that kind of thing all the time. There are even some old plans to go to war with Cuba called Operation Northwoods (declassified, look it up and read the documenet). Northwoods involves the CIA running a false-flag attack on one of our major cities and blaming it on the communists.

      You realized that you lost the argument, so you're changing the subject. The argument you're debating against is: Government regulation == Socialism

        Its called respecting property rights. A person's labor is his/her property, and should be exchanged at the rate they agree upon. If a company wants workers, then they have to give them incentives to work. Over in China and similar countries, their economy is extremely regulated, they have slave labor camps where women live in factories, they have no choice because their government controls the economy.

You are thinking of Corpratacracy again, that is something different than capitalism, that is why they have different words designated to them, they are not one in the same. Again, you are one who is stuck in left vs right, capitalism vs socialism, coke vs pepsi... Its a fixed game, you will get nothing but a corporate run government, managed offshore, having their way with our money, labor, and natural resources.

        Option 1: Work for the local megacorp at slave wages. Option 2: Starve, because no one else is hiring. Sure, it's free choice, but that doesn't mean the options are fair.

        Not in the era of mass production, where you get more efficient the larger you get. Just look at Walmart, for an example of one on its way up. Then we have Microsoft, who would be a complete monopoly instead of a partial monopoly, if not for government intervention (Socialism). The "baby Bells" are an edge case, as I think Bell might have had a bit of government help to begin with, until they were forcibly broken up (Socialism). The auto companies are huge conglomerates, and would probably be playing slave wages if not for the labor unions (Socialism) This is what capitalism leads to... And this is where some amount of socialism (Government regulation) is necessary to preserve fairness.

          You believe he actually said something worth reading? He is the type of people that ruthlessly demonize Christians while at the same time say they are more radical that muslims, inject some racism, and do it with great disdain.

            Let me define socialism for you so that you stop futilely pounding this. A theory or system of social organization that advocates the transition of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., to the government.

Whoops, you seem to have changed that. It's not the government in charge, it is the people. Now this might be a thin line of distinction, but it shows WHO is in charge, not beaurocrats, but the people. If we don't like the corporations poisoning our water, we fix it.

                        wow, the theory is defined one way, you decide to change the definition (people make up unions and so they fall under a socialist convention) and you then respond with this? Really? I should expect this. You couldn't be bothered to read for content, obviously. Black propaganda showed that much.

                          Really? Cause the nutjob they caught was all about taking credit and was pretty blatent about it. Oh, by the way, calling something a false flag op doesn't work when it is YOUR OWN FREAKING CITIZENS. who's going to rally to our flag when the enemy is a bunch of religious nutjobs inside the country? I'd say look up the definition of false-flag operations, but, well, we all know how well that would work.

                            It'd be the arugment you attempted to start. However the bit about a minority grabbing power reminds me a lot of that ruling over corporate donations the last week. Socialism is the reaction people had to extreme capitalism. Effectively. The problem that so many people don't seem to understand, including yourself and some of the more inane depopulation schemes you're convinced of, is that without the people having a decent amount of money, demand for products will drop. When demand drops companies cut jobs, cutting demand, causing more jobs to be cut, causing more people to be destitute. Eventually we wind up with the next generation hooverville and wonder what went wrong. Capitalism has no natural defense against this without regulation, they can and will cut their own leg off attempting to trim their toe nails because they think they'll be lighter without the leg. No leg, no walking, no customers, no business. And frankly, next person who backs supply side economics is going to get supplied with a backhand and then I'm going to ask how much he was willing to pay for another. But I've completely left the topic, so I'll stop.

                              No, I'd agree with CSS on this one. Terrorism is a dirty word, of course, and always has been. But it's thrown around so easily that it's just turning into a namecalling. Just like "right-wing extremist". They're just general words that mean nothing after some time.

                              Yes, it means the opposite of what it used to mean, in the USA only. The liberal party here is right wing. However, let's remember that some 'pro lifers' kill abortion doctors, and some gun owners are all about the coming apocalypse. Let's also remember that being a Christian does not mean owning a gun, being anti abortion, or being right wing.

                                  You believe he actually said something worth reading? He is the type of people that ruthlessly demonize Christians while at the same time say they are more radical that muslims, inject some racism, and do it with great disdain.

                                  Actually I don't. I have a website that lets them do it for themselves. See, I post quotes, with links to the full context, of the most inane, psychotic, and preferably funny quotes by pretty much anyone with a stick to far up their ass to realize other people are human too. In the English speaking world, a majority of them are Christian. Though it looks like a Muslim is actually going to win quote of the year(and it's a doozy).

                                    The government did that as a false-flag style op. They do that kind of thing all the time. There are even some old plans to go to war with Cuba called Operation Northwoods (declassified, look it up and read the documenet). Northwoods involves the CIA running a false-flag attack on one of our major cities and blaming it on the communists.

                                      Really? Cause the nutjob they caught was all about taking credit and was pretty blatent about it. Oh, by the way, calling something a false flag op doesn't work when it is YOUR OWN FREAKING CITIZENS. who's going to rally to our flag when the enemy is a bunch of religious nutjobs inside the country? I'd say look up the definition of false-flag operations, but, well, we all know how well that would work.

                                      Did you forget ? All of this was entirely so they could persecute Christians. I guess 9/11 was a dumb idea, because it created focus on Muslims. Who are, according to CSS, warlike people, even though it was the US government who made them look that way.

                                        Not all of them, though. Glad to see you agree.

                                        Agreed again. What's your point here? Now because of this, I'm surprised that your image of a "patriot" is a hick. Glad to see you're opening your eyes a bit.

                                        And I'd agree with him, to an extent. A lot of people (not all people) do think that being right-wing is being extremist, and means you're going to revolt.

Over in China and similar countries, their economy is extremely regulated, they have slave labor camps where women live in factories, they have no choice because their government controls the economy.

The "baby Bells" are an edge case, as I think Bell might have had a bit of government help to begin with, until they were forcibly broken up (Socialism). The auto companies are huge conglomerates, and would probably be playing slave wages if not for the labor unions (Socialism) This is what capitalism leads to...

                                          Option 3: Start your own business. Option 4: Work for the government, because they have taken up a big part of the private sector. Option 5: Work for a small business/work under the table. There's always more than two solutions, though most people will only think of two. The two party system really works to make people think like this.

                                          Great example of how the bigger you get, the less quality you get. It's not about efficiency, it's about prices being low because quality is low.

                                          I think that's communism specifically... don't call me on it though.

                                          This is definitely communism. Government intervention to this degree is communism.

                                          This shouldn't have happened in a free society at all. Capitalism is different from corporatism, and that's what we have, not capitalism. The free market is no longer at work.
