Pay no attention to the melting ice caps and receding glaciers behind the curtain.

A theory that is so full of holes that they have no business teaching it as fact let alone telling the children that it's because there are too many of us humans on this planet. More nonsense from your masters. People have got to start waking up.
 
Well, that's my rant. 


nice rant LOL  Especially found to the part on global warning to be quite... humorous.

http://pollclash.com<-------- looking at their most recent speeches, in what do you think about what you hear? Now that the candidates are set for the US Presidential Election, Barack Obama and John McCain are beginning to set the tone for their campaign.

^ as I posted in another thread...  I think the only way Obama loses is if he loses it.  The way he handled himself and Hillary's vicious attacks bodes well for the general election.  IF we know anything at all.. the Right in lieu of substantive issues.. knows how to play the politics of personal destruction.  The thing is.. Hillary already brought out what there is to be dug out.  If they go further.. they will make the ignorant among their followers happy.. and completely turn off the sensible middle.

as I posted earlier again.... age.. not race may well be the decisive factor for those who go into the election cycle not having had their minds mind up... ie.  independents and the vast middle between the entrenched left and right.  People want change.. and there is no way McCain can sell  that... look at Hillary.. she couldn't. She..with McCain.. is part of the culture that the American people seem to want change from!

Four if you count Nader and Barr.  So glad the Republicans have their own Nader this year.  Congrats for those who picked Obama.  You may have figured out our next president in advance, at least I hope so.

looks like something went wrong with the Dem strategy. Otherwise Hillary would have dropped out long ago


She recently suggested that superdelegates would decide the election next week...

//EDIT: Not to mention that if she were chosen, which she won't be, the dems would lose the election by a landslide...

True, the word has too many nuances... by the way, was it Sweden where people protested against LOWERING the income tax about a year ago? It would require to discontinue some social programs but they wanted to keep their entitlements

You're not kidding! With all the attributes of socialism what else would you call Sweden? Market economy has nothing to do with it.

I know that I sure as hell wouldn't work very hard in a socialist state.  And by very hard I mean at all.

Which the study underlined.
I had mentioned the Iceland supermarkets only because it was quite amazing to compare with our 24-hour chains. I never heard of your poor work ethics in connection to supermarkets, but it would not surprise me that work ethics generally deteriorate under socialism as I've already stated there is little incentive and lots of temptation. But I still don't get it how I generalized it.

If you're referring to me, that's what I did. Namely your generalisation. But lets not get into a fight over that. it seems we agree to disagree on most things anyway.
I wasn't referring to you. How was mine a generalization, let alone mendacious? If you compare things, they must be comparable. You have more middle class population than we do, but the standard of living of your middle class is lower than ours.
