P.S., Alot of those people that live in the tribes in Africa flat out refuse all modern medicine, you wanna do that? Alot of them also believe that AIDS isn't real. Damn our technology!:thumbsup:
It was supposed to, it was supposed to appeal to your emotions and get you upset at the American government, not the ass holes that did it or the drunk lady that was fighting with the cops. That is a very rudimentary tactic in a debate when you can't back up your premise.:thumbsup:Quote:

Yes, I am familiar with the "shock and awe" tactics used by political figures, it's a tool of governments too, at least fair play is established if this video uses it so.
Point taken, however. :thumbsup:

The federal government wouldn't be involved, it would be a local issue.:)Quote:

That's just it, the video doesn't tell the whole story, but it does say that it is under investigation, so if it truely was as horrible as it was made out to be then what was done in the dark will come to light. "The System" is in the process of investigating it from what I understood. Hell, they may be done, they may have sided with the "victim", they may also be privy to much more information on the case than we are, since all we know is what we saw on the video.Quote:

Hey I am with you, I am not happy with ALOT of things that we do as a country, but I am happy that I can voice my opinion with out losing my head, literally, or having my family kidnapped in the middle of the night and burned alive and thrown in a pit! Politics in the U.S. is like the weather, just wait, it will change. It has for the last 200 years, the great thing about our country is that it allows for change.:jointsmile:Quote:

Nuclear weapons scare me. People that have no interest in what is happening in the world scare me, or even their own country scare me. People with closed minds scare me and people that think we live in the perfect country without ever going anywhere else scares me.
Our present government scares me.
A word about fascism: If you look at the definitions we are really close.
One of the more common government strategies today, especially in developing regions is fascism. Fascism is commonly confused with Nazism. Nazism is a political party platform that embraces a combination of a military dictatorship, socialism and fascism. It is not a government structure. Fascism is a government structure. The most notable characteristic of a fascist country is the separation and persecution or denial of equality to a specific segment of the population based upon superficial qualities or belief systems.
Simply stated, a fascist government always has one class of citizens that is considered superior (good) to another (bad) based upon race, creed or origin. It is possible to be both a republic and a fascist state. The preferred class lives in a republic while the oppressed class lives in a fascist state.
general characteristics
of a fascist country:
1. Fascism is commonly defined as an open terror-based dictatorship which is:
- Reactionary: makes policy based upon current circumstances rather than creating policies to prevent problems; piles lies and misnomers on top of more lies until the truth becomes indistinguishable, revised or forgotten.
- Chauvinistic: Two or more tiered legal systems, varying rights based upon superficial characteristics such as race, creed and origin.
- Imperialist elements of finance capital: Extending a nation's authority by territorial acquisition or by the establishment of economic and political domination of one state over its allies.
