I am. But even free market libertarians acknowledge that government intervention is needed to correct for market externalities (i.e. pollution) in order to preserve the most efficient free market environment .

synopsis of iraq:
Mario and Luigi need to take down King Koopa before he continues his campaign of genocide in Sunshine Mountain. It's time for King Koopa to stop his atrocities. Well, Mario and Luigi fight and fight and finally King Koopa is captured and Sunshine Mountain is finally free. Well, it seems that the people of Sunshine Mountain didn't like the tyrany of King Koopa, nor do they appreciate the fact that Mario and Luigi's relatives and friends died on the frontline against Koopas troops. In fact, they decide to kidnap Princess Toadstool and demand that the turtle shells be released from imprisonment, the same shells that killed so many of Mario and Luigi's troops. Well, time is up and Princess Toadstool loses the head and now that little mushroom kid blames Mario and Luigi for not releasing the turtle shells, thus making the saviors of Iraq the icon of international hate.
well, i gotta go work


You forgot one important thing that Mario and Luigi cant admit...there are a bunch of coins that will give them many many lives ($) in Sunshine Mountain...something EVERYONE wants!


P.S To the morons that are condemning this without even looking at the injustice this illegal war brought on in the first place, well,, im not surprised at your ignorance. So easily people forget about the audacity Bush had to invade becuase there was "UNDENIABLE PROOF" that WMD existed.

You guys can cry all you want about the grusome reality of war,, which by the way is selectively reported in much of the US media - but the fact of the matter is, The US will NEVER win this battle....NEVER. Too bad that you just strengthened Iran's geo-political position in the middle east.... ahhahah Nice "stability"

Fuckin morons

Agreed, this is absurd. Threads full of insults & people announcing that they want to out go and kidnap someone of 'Arab Origin' really don't belong anywhere near here.

the political forum has degenerated though, 80% of the posts are insults (made by 20% of the people) and the people who once regularly posed interesting debates are now gone / lurking.

i blame it on Yoepus for not scaring away the newbies as well as he once did

The mods of this board recomend to Swamper who they think should be a mod of a forum and I'm afraid there is no way someone who had been previously suspended from the boards is gonna be a mod
That would apply for example in melech_mikes case.

The current mods are active here, the main active mod here being Blik and we DO keep an eye on you.
But as this is a complicated forum with many cultures and beliefs and passions involved it will get heated.

This we knew when the forum was 1st introduced to TA and it was understood that those wishing to post in this forum should also be aware of the fact that they could get flamed for thier belief, just read the forum description . . .

Our main concern here is that there is no racisim, that will NOT be tolerated under any circumstances!

if you feel a mod has overlooked an issue then PM one of the mods of this forum and they will look into it.

Poll closed

They minded their fuckin business instead of invading nations.

Watch Fahrenheit 9/11 and weep as you see the shit your country has been ploughed through by your piece of shit president.

creating a democracy is the sign of an invasion? I don't know what kind of funding your country has for education, but one thing we learn in america is that it's VERY easy to criticize the world, but it's another thing to change it. The whole world, your country included, had the correct intelligence that saddam was a genocidal tyrant. unless your country got the wrong intel and thought he was an ice cream man. give me a sentence or two about who you think saddam was.

btw, there are tons of people starving in the world, i wonder if your country is at the top of the list for helping these people.

Does you have the right to say what is wrong and what is good? do you have the right to invade a country to force your system upon them? eh, no.

saddam was an asshole indeed, but i don't know if this is that much better... but lets hope the situation will get better

right and wrong? isn't it kind of immoral to kill your own people?


Posted by nialsjd on Jun-26-2004 23:19:

about the foreign aid, when i google "foreign aid" all i see is websites plastered with United States this and United States that. the only other country i see is "afghanistan" and it talks about united states giving afghanistan foreign aid.


Posted by nialsjd on Jun-26-2004 23:20:

isn't the reason that we are listed below than canada because we have a higher population, thus requiring less money per citizen to reach an overall value?

293,589,251 for US
32,507,874 for canada

Yes according to our morals, but according to the same morals, isn't it kind of immoral to attack another country on "not that strong grounds"? war is immoral, isn't it? i know it can be justified, but not in this case....

i searshed google for "terrorists" i got several US sites, does that mean US has many terrorists?

obviously that list i just posted shows that you are wrong. US is a bigger country and therefore gives more aid, but not per capita which is what makes sense if you want to compare countries. Looks like only italy are worse than you of the western countries...

quote:
and now it says bush has been the most generous president ever in history to give foreign aid


too bad you still give way less than most other countries...
