The war on drugs is a stupendous faliure. See I didn't comment on why I think Marijuana Should Be Legal. I commented on the extreme waste of American tax dollars on the stupendous faliure that is the war on drugs.
People should be free to do whatever they want with there own bodies. Your choice is your choice, I can respect that. But don't seek to Limit MY Freedom. You live your life and let other people live Their Lives!

>>so thats why then?
-Yes
>>what do you call China then? Is it not a totalitarian state with corrupt/dangerous leaders?
-Well yes but they have made reforms to work with the Western World.
>>economic reforms that is....
>>So thats what it's all about then? Not freeing the oppressed, not proliferating democracy, not oppossing tyranical regimes, but greed and the protection of the things that facilitate greed.
-Yup.
>>Yup.
I think it's funny that Americans hate the french, yet without French support you may not have won the War For Independence. How fickle you Yanks are.
God forbid any country have an opinion that differs from America! America knows best! America looks after the world!

"All the rights they want but shouldn't be allowed to adopt"? What is that supposed to mean?!
Adoption affects someone else, the child. Gays are entitled to do whatever they want with themselves "They can have all the rights THEY want." But there lifestyle should not affect others or society. Placing a child in the care gays will affect that child. Got it?
I couldn't give a fuck what people do as long as it doesn't affect me or society. They can have all the rights they want, they shouldn't be allowed to adopt though.

India is not muslim. Pakistan used to be apart of India, the muslim part. There has always been tension between the two since they were seperated. India mainly follows Sikhism and Hinduism. They would not side with islam or the middle east.

Yes, becuase I believe in self determination I'm pro slavery. Don't be ignorant.
What if I decide I don't like the United States? Should I be allowed to declare my property a soverign nation?
Self determination refers to freedom of the people of a given area to determine their own political status, not a person. And again, don't be ignorant.
In a country where freedom is valued above all, and where self determination is key, is it ethical to deny a state the right to seced from the union?
If a state's people are unhappy with the way they are governed, is it not there duty to rebel? Is it right to betray the traditions America was founded on?
If a state wishes to leave, what right does any union of states have to subjegate it?
Perhaps less focus on America itself would add a much valued perspective. Take the former Yugoslavia for example, do you believe the nations that made it up should be forced together? Should the Serbs be able to subjegate others in the region? I think not.
So if self determination is accepted, in fact activly supported by America, then why would America not follow its' own belief?
At 12/27/02 09:53 AM, Black-Guy wrote: Why would you want to move to Canada?How could you look up on them? They are no greater than us, no?
Higher standard of living, higher level of social programs, higher level of education, liberal laws.
That doesn't make us better, it's just what we feel is important. As opposed to strong military and a highly-competive, capitalistic society.
Just a difference in ideology. However, many Americans would prefer that ideology. When it comes to ideology there is no good or bad though, it's a belief. People are free to hold any belief they want.

Yes Canadians have "their own lives, their own views" ..... and we know our heritage......
I want to know why you think that Americans have lost their strive to be individuals, but Canadians have not. Is it the government or what? I think the major cause for people losing themselves is mass media, and in particular, the television. Commercials and shows span a nation, and subconciously or conciously people that watch TV will start to look and act like those on TV. If you need proof to back it up, I'm sure you could find studies, but during the 50s many housewives in America looked and acted exactly like Donna Reed.
Anyway, Canada has television and believes in commercialism. So I ask again, what seperates Canadians from Americans and empowers them to grasp their individuality.
We have laws in our charter of rights protecting different cultures, mainly intended for the french Canada has now come to embraced many cultures with the same attitude.
We arn't Americans, just becuase we have similar media in no way makes us Americans; in fact thats rather ignorant to suggest. I can't explain why Canadian culture is different anymore then I could explain how ethics varry from person to person.
Canadians don't fell superior to America, in fact we fear America. We fear the might of the American jugernaut and we fear we will lose our Canadian identity. We have seen what you are, and we don't want to become it. It's not an issue of superiority, it's an issue of ideology. America controls Canada, for too long America has brought presure forth upon Canada to conform with America, to fit with America.
I hate to break it to you, but the whole world thinks America is arrogant, and you are. Rightly so, who's going to argue with 2000 nukes? Don't try and say otherwise.
As for Canada being superior, well we choose our ideology and you choose yours. When it comes to ideology right and wrong, better or worse, is subjective. Look America lives they way it wants to live and Canada lives they way it wants to live. As a result Canada has a higher standard of living and is ranked higher by the UN in many field over America. At the same time America has a fierce military and is the "leader of the free world," I'm not saying which is better, becuase none is. It's what the people from each perspective nation wants.

:We do this horrible thing we do that horrible thing.
Thanks for being clear and providing examples

Care to mention the dictators America has funded in the past, you know countries like Iraq!
:Most Americans are not like Bush. We love are country and embrace other cultures.
Then he was elected why? Oh and the kkk embraces different cultures real well, way to go!
:We are not arab haters or greedy oil tycoons.
Yet hate arab crimes have gone on the rise. And you are oil tycoons, to say otherwise is ignorant. I'm not complaining Canada needs the oil too, but call it what it is.
:We are a mixture of cultures who have an abudant amount of pride for our country.
Melting pot - all cultures conforming to the American culture. I suppose blind nationalism is pride.
:We do not test chemical weapons on our people Like saddam.
But you helped fund Saddam when he used chemical weapons on the Iranians, yay hypocracy!
:We do not blow up hotel sky scrapers and shoot stinger missles at planes.
No you give stinger missles to othera and have them do it for you!
:Yes the US dose some wrong things.
REALLY!</sarcasm>
:But I belive the ends justify the means.
Do you realize what your saying. Morality be damned as long as it produces results. I thought you were defending America?
:Saddam will use Nukes with out any thought.
He's just going to bust out nukes for no reason? If invaded sure, other wise?
:Should we back off from N.Korea yes. The older Bush tried the aggresize approach in 1995 I Believe and former President Carter had to bail us out.
So N.Korea can have nukes but iraq can't. I wonder why? Hey is there any oil in N.Korea? Thought not.
:So next time you say that are Americans are Greedy self involved or what not. Remember there are some if not a lot of americans who reaaly do care about world issues and want to help.
LOL!

Funny how America and N Korea have supported the same people. In the 80s America was supporting freedom fighters and in the 90s-00s N Korea is supporting terrorists ............ er .. =\

Neither Bosnia nor Somalia had any economic purpose for America. Both were a large drain on American tax payers.
No that was the UN, The UN is made of many nations and many nations participated. MANY, M-A-N-Y. UN, U-N.

WOW WHAT BIAS!
Wait your calling Britian hostile when American declared war on Britian while it was fighting the Napoleanic War? Secondly the treaty of Ghent was signed shortly after the White House was burnt down.
:If by Canada winning, you mean that 20,000 people were killed to accomplish nothing other than lifting trade restrictions set by Great Britian, then I guess that you won.
No I imagine he means America's failure to obtain it's objectives.
Economic Sanctions are nothing new. Although I don't agree with America's foriegn policy, they don't have to trade with anyone they don't want to(unless bound by a free trade agreement). You shouldn't be forced to trade with people you don't want to trade with. Thats simple enough.
Although it is hypocritical that America trades with communist China and not N. Korea or Cuba. It is still within their right to decide were their goods go.
And Slizor, Lenin's NEP did allow private ownership of the land. Thus the Kulaks. Look it up. During the revolution the peasents took the land anyway.

No, I stated an advantage is that they don't change policy(drastically) every election or two. It is a valid point that they can change their mind, but they can change their mind as much as say the President can go against his election campaign. The point I was making is that there is not this continual yo-yo which goes on in most modern democracies. One party raises taxes, the net party lowers them, etc, etc.
Hahaha, alright then. Please describe mussolini's policy, apprently it changed but was still fairly consistant ..... according to you.

Well they got out of World War 1, they industrialised, they got electricity, the peasants were freed from the mir system, and started to have nice lives. They became a great power, hell they became a superpower.
No it was, and I'm quoting you here, "Stalinism."
All of those policies were a result of "Stalinism," not communism with the exception of getting "out of World War 1."
I would say they started to live happier lives becuas of communism but they didn't. The peasents were unhappy with Lenin and Trotsky's War Communism so Lenin introduced the NEP. The NEP made the people happy, but it was not communist. The NEP allowed private ownership of land and the selling of surpluses. This was limited capitalism, not communism. Later Stalin crushed Lenin's NEP and killed many of the people it made happy, so it can't be used as one of your examples.
Well, a monarch is much the same as a dictator. But you want modern ones don't you? Well, you could have most of the Middle East, some contraversal ones, which you'll try to dispute, etc, etc.
So now your stretching out to monarchies just to try and validate your point? hahaha.
Exactly my point, if people can not fully think and reason, why should they be allowed to vote? Obviously, the ability to think and reason can not be determined by someone's age, it would have to be determined by some kind of test. If they have to take a test to vote, it does not seem to be an essential freedom of everyone though, does it? So on one hand, you can have uninformed, illogical people voting(ending up with a stupid leader) and on the other you have to think that voting is not an essential freedom.
If you don't think it's an essential freedom you don't deserve the right to vote. Let's make that the test eh?
Sorry, what point are you trying to attack?
You stated Dictators have clear and consistant platforms, which is an out right lie.

No! This is not just for medical use, this is decriminalization, making it an un-arrestable offence. Only fines and no criminal record.
FUCK don't you people listen. Decriminalization, for any person in Canada, 30 grams and under(30 grams is a fucking ounce).
Get it?
