But at any rate I half agree ... political system yes, economic system no

No, the reason why there aren't hostilities against targets such as N. Korea or China is because it is a completely different set of geo-political circumstances. For example, war with China would result in nuclear holocaust, war with N. Korea would result in the destruction of S. Korea. The same tactic cannot be applied to every single nation because every single instance is different. To apply the same set of responses to circumstances that meet a certain set criteria is ludicrous. Therefore, cookie-cutter diplomacy is practiced nowhere.

Why am I not surprised ... I shall be anxiously waiting.
I don't even know what you're attempting to prove to be honest , I just want to see something, ANYTHING with a source attached to it.

The point is your thinking towards war all the time...that is what it boils down too.. maybe You don't have the confidence in hunmanity ...that we can change and progress without war. I however do and that is the way I think .. Call me foolish but I do believe

No, I am not thinking towards war all the time ... right now I'm thinking about getting an oil change. Try to keep your arguments removed from the ad hominem attacks.

That's quite a lame excuse for not being able to support even one of your assertions considering you've done the most posting in this forum the last few days.
Occrider I think you're wasting your time with this guy (as we all are), but I'd like to see some of his evidence as well.

Then amybe you'll learn something about our country and how we tend to act becasue probably unlike you I know what's going on in your country. That's another problem most of you don;t kno wwhat's going on in other countries let alone your own.
You are harshing on the US education system, yet you are an English teacher in Canada? I'm sure then that you must be aware of the literary style known as "irony?"
If you've read most any of my posts in this forum, I'm the last person to blindly defend the country where my parents fucked and I was born in; the USA. But, I fail to see how broad generalizations and insults about an entire population accomplish anything other than to turn people away from possibly exploring some of your opinions. The fact that you want people to actually listen to what you have to say I find ludicrous.

I know . But sometimes I get bored and I just like to argue for the sake of arguing (debating sharpens the wit right?). But, I'm not going to stoop to a tit-for-tat of ad hominem attacks and flaming.
Malek had a good saying a while back about getting into those types of arguments ... what the hell was it???
Anyway, so I guess I'm pulling out of this thread ...
