About time.

Please don't get angry at me over these two choices on the republican ticket.

I'm just one of the many millions worldwide, gazing in stupified wonder at the spectacle unfolding in the U.S.

My motivations are quite obvious aren't they?

I seek a world where citizens are treated with respect, where they are entitled to decent pension plans and universal single-payer healthcare.
With the ability to form and join unions to promote a stronger working class.
Free education.
Progressive taxation to spread the wealth.

I seek a world where corporations are regulated by a strong social democratic government accountable to the citizens.

I'll be very happy with just these things.

Sheesh, this is just more idiocy. Here, how about this:

Please don't get angry at me over those two choices on the Democrat ticket. I'm just one of the many millions worldwide, gazing in rapture at the American election process.

As an aside, in the other thread you have a problem with corporate media outlets pushing opinion or "infotainment," and yet, when one of the largest "corporatist media outlets" writes something, and you agree with their stupidity, you say it's about time. Do you think that sort of inconsistency helps your credibility or hurts it?

Remove the obvious...

It doesn't matter Rush.
I want what I want, and following me around the boards squeaking at me won't change that. LOL

But I do notice that stalking me has increased your RAC, so please continue.
I'll get you up over 100 soon enough.

But the only way that happens is when you stick a gun in people's faces and make them do what they otherwise would not do.

If it is OK for you to do that to them, then it is OK for them to do it to you. And they do. That's why you get massive wars and the Dept. of Defense. That's why Canada has to lobby the U.S. gov't HARD not to allow re-importation of prescription drugs.

With the ability to form and join unions to promote a stronger working class.

You want this freedom, yet you want to use gov't force to make other people accept your decisions. That's inconsistent and it's hypocrisy.

Free education. Progressive taxation to spread the wealth.

Sure. Just tax everyone 100%. Why not? I mean, if it's such a good idea, why don't we? Hell, why doesn't the gov't just print money and hand it out? I mean, there are no costs, right? Things are just good because Bob proclaimed them as good, right? Doesn't that makes sense, everyone?

I seek a world where corporations are regulated by a strong social democratic government accountable to the citizens.

Heh heh. Good luck with that.

I'll be very happy with just these things.

I would suggest not holding your breath.

You are right, you have shown a complete lack of reasoning and continuous inconsistency in your positions. They do not matter.

I want what I want, and following me around the boards squeaking at me won't change that. LOL

I wouldn't think that it would, you seem utterly immune to reason and accountability.

And I don't follow you around, I do however read the Politics threads and not much else.

I suggest you reread my post nevermore
Please note that I used the words "a world"
I'm not sticking it to America

What percentage of people that I interact with in here are American?

I live in Canada.
Our closest neighbor is the U.S.
Would it not make sense that my major concerns would gravitate toward these two countries?

You ask me to direct my efforts toward China or events in the EU?

I cannot effectively do anything about what the Chinese are doing to their citizens, other than try to influence my government's stance on human rights.
This I do by writing to my Member of Parliament often.

Events in the EU are being dealt with democratically (some would argue that) and I am not up to speed enough to have formed an opinion, therefore, I don't express one.

Thank you for those wonderful suggestions

I'll leave it to you to solve the world's problems because there's more than enough going on in these two countries to keep me occupied.

Please keep us informed as to your progress.

Looking forward to your geopolitical insights soon.

there are other ways, like people obeying the law


If it is OK for you to do that to them, then it is OK for them to do it to you. And they do. That's why you get massive wars and the Dept. of Defense. That's why Canada has to lobby the U.S. gov't HARD not to allow re-importation of prescription drugs.



why usa need to buy medicine from canada, is their health care too costly
and ineffective

USA PAYS DOUBLE FOR HEALTHCARE AND IS LAST ON QUALITY

progressive taxation is the basis for democratic, peaceful society where
every citizen has same rights as they should have everywhere, and it has been carried out with success in many parts of europe

I seek a world where corporations are regulated by a strong social democratic government accountable to the citizens.

Heh heh. Good luck with that.


you will see that too

I'll be very happy with just these things.

please do so or gurgle at least
