Look at this ing moron holding the "go away USA" sign. U.S. tax dollars are funding $8 billion of their bailout! :stongue:
Lazy entitlement minded people... they are essentially protesting that they refuse to work more than 30 hours a week in their cushy government jobs, where they can retire at 50 with a full pension for the rest of their lives. If you didn't think time travel was possible, you're seeing American's future right there. |
So is that 8 billion dollars of Chinas money or 8 billion dollars US money which you just happened to loan from China?
Last I checked, you owe the entire planet your whole ing country. |

zzzzzz... oh were you saying something? No it's not from what we borrowed, it's from taxpayer output. $30 billion of Greece's bailout is being supplied by the IMF, and the U.S. taxpayers supply about 20% of the IMF's funding. So, $8 billion of the $145 billion bailout comes from U.S. taxpayer funding. :rolleyes: |

lol... what? I'm simply pointing out the absurdity of the idiot holding the "go away USA" sign, obviously unaware that we are technically funding part of his bailout. Then you went off on an angry rant about us owing China and the world and trees. I think you just hate me and want to throw jabs even if what I'm saying makes sense. |

It wasn't a rant. I was merely pointing out that you're harping on about how you're saving them with money when in fact it's not your money to begin with. It's you who needs saving when you consider how financially in the whole your entire economy is.
Then you tried to say that it wasn't actually the government bailing Greece out but the American taxpayer. Guess what? The government is the American taxpayer. Any money that your own country owes and spends is actually your money, so it's you that's paying for everything.
I don't hate you at all, I just dislike how you never see the big picture and always make absurd statements. Quite a common trait in the West, especially in America. |

Well this is where your dislike is misconstrued; my statement wasn't an indictment of my inability to see the big picture at all. I totally agree with you- our country needs to stop the tidal wave of irresponsible spending and borrowing. I can't stand watching what's happening and I'm a huge proponant of fiscal responsibility.
Yeah technically the government "is" the taxpayer... but that's just some politispeak IMO. Over here, John Q. Taxpayer has just about zero say in how the government spends our money, and this is one reason why here, trust in politicians is at an all time low. It's kind of absurd to stereotype Westerners as being notorious for making stupid statements; I think if you go to any country, you'll have your fair share of morons who are uninformed and talking out of their asses. In fact, it's even more absurd when foreigners who have never actually lived here think they know and understand more about our system than we do (imagine PKC if I spoke to him about the Austraila/Tazmania/New Zealand politics of today as if he didn't get it and I was more informed); the "ha! they're just typical stupid Americans" meme from foreigners has become a characature, and actually shows more hubris than understanding. I don't mean you personally, but in general that's how it is these days.
/rant :p |

Side remark: if a communist party wins a democratic election, will the country be communist or democratic? |
Long story short:
Look this up on wikipedia
Communism isn't an electoral system. Especially concidering a communist party winning the election almost certainly won't make a country communist.
Especially concidering a communist society can be democratic as well. Maybe a stalinist society cannot however.
And for sake, stop asking stupid questions, grow some brains. |

i dont think anyone accuses you of being uninformed; more that your extreme biases invalidate much of the information you do have. and yes, foreigners can indeed gain a better understanding of things than you because of your extreme bias, even if they're not as well informed as you are. |
