Bah! Name calling is outdated. So is the 2-party system. Haven't these two groups of losers screwed up our nation enough yet? Give a third party a chance! Vote Libretarian in 2008!
You all REALLY want lower gas prices? 50-55% of the price you pay at the pump just goes toward taxes on the gas station itself. Add to that a $.40-$.50 tax on the fuel itself.
Really want lower gas prices?
Write every politican you know on a local, state, and federal level and push for decreased taxes on gasoline and gasoline merchants.
And just a little credentials for the inevitable flamers, the tax numbers I gave are from the state of Kansas, from a gasoline merchant with over 30 years experience in retailing and wholesaleing gasoline, as well as ethanol blending...

What shoud we do? We ssould stop crying. With crude oil at $61 a barrel, you should feel lucky gas isn't $3.00 a gallon. After the govornment takes its cut, then the fuleman is allowed 2 or 3 cents of profit by the public. Gas merchants have to eat too.

Seriously, morning glories should be illiegal. I have a friend who OD'd on that stuff....
Messed him up good....
I understand you, totalwar, now listen to me.
I am saying we need to return all Americans to US soil, and close our borders.
If we become a target, we will retaliate, then return home. According to this doctrine, we would have only fought Japan in WWII. We also would have never got involved in WWI.
totalwar, you're missing the point. As an isolationist nation, we do not interfere with other nation's affairs at all until they interfere with us. Trade still happens, but our borders would be closed and fortified. Also, as for international problems, until they are invading us, we would not interfere.
Keep in mind that without profit, the labrotories couldn't run, no new medicines could be developed, and the old medicenes would lose effectiveness...

Can we put children on that list too?

Yes, but how many people will feel convicted enough..
Example:
Dennis Rader, aka BTK
He worked at a church.....
Not looking at the problem?
I am saying ignoring the rest of the world.
Close the borders, and bring all Americans home....
With no meddiling in other people's affairs, we can focus on mending our own.
And someday have some international respect again....
Well, I was going to say I don't care, until Waid posted that pic....
Under a dictatorship, he would be executed immiedantly.
Seriously.....
thats just wrong....

HELL NO! Our taxes are going up for the stupid Dynaplex.... Wichita is even less reliable than London. Kansas City? There is no space in Kansas City. Where else? Manhattan? Lawernce? Topeka? Garden City? London can have it. I would have voted for Moscow...
I like to play the devil's advocate, so......
Fascisim is working here in the USA.....
Dude, I live out in the sticks, where people will shoot off fierworks in the streets....
Our neighbors lost their house, and had 5 acres of land burned off by a dud areial that landed near their propane tank. Also, we had to kick 4 diffrent groups of tresspassers off our land on the 4th alone this year.....
Buddy, join me as a Theistic communist
As we all know, heaven is a communist state...
The death penalty should be used.
1: Serial Killers should not remain, even in prison
2: anyone who kills a law enforcement officer
3: too many nasty murderers get out on parole
4: life in prision isn't that bad compared to inner city living
5: it is mandated by my religion (this only applies to me, I am not forcing my beliefs)
JUST MY OPINION!!
I predict Chicago.
More specifically, the Sears Tower.
DYK: the owner of the WTC took his insurance payout and bought the Sears Tower?
I am a theistic communist.
I support equal distribution of wealth, yet I do not buy into atheisim.
Also, how many communisim threads do we need?
This will only attract flamers, and get badly off topic

Well by your logic, there would never be any problems if that damn Big Bang hadn't occoured (or whatever you believe made existance)
I made that point too, in one of your threads, I believe
The one with the funny latin name....
How is the UN fighting poverty?
(thinks for a second....)
OH! They take our money and give it to nations that support terrorisim!
Supporting terrorisim via global communisim....
hmmm...

There is logic behind this. At the end of the second world war, the communist world was our only powerful enemy. It was during this time that the American people learned 3 things vital to control of the police state we are rapidly becoming
Lesson 1: Security over Rights
Lesson 2: The Media is infallible
Lesson 3: The govornment is god
None of this would have happened without Karl Marx writing the Communist Manifesto...
We owe nuclear power to Japan for being a test subject
We owe Africa for AIDS
We owe Myanmarr, Thailand, and Cambodia for heroin
We owe JFK and LBJ for "welfare" cough*communisim*cough
We owe Karl Marx for the incredibally power-hungry govornment we have
We all owe NG a big favor for these forums
except you........
YOU owe NG an apology for sugarcoting a horrible event, and cluttering up the topics list

Well, define won....
What did Hitler do?
My opinion:
Hitler goes after Mussolini
wins all that jazz,
Hirohito and Hitler go at it
Tokyo is nuked
Hitler rules world,
Empire collapses with his death
mass anarchy, new dark age...
The US should quit the UN, and become isolationist...
WWIII
USA, England, Israel, South Korea, Japan, and whatever other sorry kids the UK and the USA bring along
VS................
Iran, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, China, and North Korea.
The nukes will fly, and lots will die.....
MY PREDICTION:
US goes to war with Iran
Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and other Mideasterners jump in
UK sends a major presence, mainly for protection of their own intrests
Egypt threatens to close the Suez Canal
Israel jumps in, siezes Suez, and generally whups ass...
North Korea attacks South Korea, interferes with Japanese shipping
US and Japan attack North Korea
China allies w/ NK
somewhere in the middle of it all, someone will get nuked
Also, India vs. Pakistan may go off during this....
I got a 25 on my ACT.
I would have a 27, but I need to bring up my math score.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to do this?
I agree, but remember, the drug company may have thousands of $900 pills laying around, but how much money went into RandD?
The company needs to at least earn back its investment.
For instance:
You spend $20million finding a cure for AIDS
You can make 1000 treatments a day
(for clarity's sake a treatment lasts a month, and the person is 50% cured)
Would you want to sell the treatments to the people who could afford to pay back your investment?
OR,
Would you give away the $20million to African AIDS (a problem they started themselves)?
This is a question of redemming what you have spent your entire life and fortune on.
Also, for every drug the drug companies sell, money goes into research
If we ignore patents, then R&D labs will collapse, and we will have a medicinal dark age
Just taking a counterpoint....

I am a libretarian, for now. As I learn more, communisim sounds like the cause to rally behind..
LET THIS THREAD DIE ALREADY!!!!
