This Time on Philosophy

This is NOT a thread about religion. No affirming Jesus as divine-ergo-correct, we're just comparing philosophies. If you want to argue the miracles are somehow parabolic--ie, that the Bread/Loaves one demonstrates a tenant of his philosophy-fair game, but no arguing on whether or not he "did it." So let's play the Jeffersonian game and just compare arguably the West's two most important philosophic influences--Socrates or Jesus, who has the better life view?

Human Rights Watch believes White south africans being murdered should be ignored.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_farm_attacks

Human Rights Watch, a group which respects its own activist credentials, believes that anyone who cares about White Africans (caucasian people who are native to Africa) being raped and murdered is racist.

9/11

so... for those official theorists i think i can still give you more on 9/11 because this one obviously did have high ranking american official involvement and because it was so significant to the world. and it shows how coverups are possible that involve academia, government and the media working on concert.

Ameriphobia -
A fear of the United States of America. Because America is arguably the most powerful country with the widest influence in the world, many people fear their power. This fear is usually unprovoked, since America is a democracy and any idiots in power who screwed up (for all you Bush haters) will be gone by the next election, unlike dictators.

Because of this fear, people with Ameriphobia tend to become anti-American. These anti-Americans can form into groups, ranging from the typical radical muslim Al-Queda; to communist radicals, although they have lost power since the end of the Cold War.

You will never see a "Britiphobia" or a "Chinaphobia". The United States is the most powerful country in the world, and they will obviously receive the most criticism from around the world. Yet, the United States is also arguably the best country in the world, with a thriving economy and one of the highest standards of living in the world. They also commit to spreading democracy worldwide, so communist dictator shitholes like Cuba and North Korea cease to exist. So fuck off America haters.

"They also commit to spreading democracy worldwide, so communist dictator shitholes like Cuba and North Korea cease to exist."

I don't think people have a fear of America, but some of the people it hides that skipped normal life and became SuperWeirdos and have managed to convince themselves that capitalist globalisation is akin to democracy ..... wtf !!
What is democracy, you get a vote but no legal or human rights. You live in constant fear of attack or violence.
I'm sure there are many the world over who would forfeit voting for peace or freedom from fear of death or persecution.
The USA gave the Iraqis the right to vote ....... they're lovin' it !!
Are we so arrogant to think a Western-style democracy will work in all parts of the world, to be fair I don't think a lot of countries can afford US democracy, it costs too much. US$17 trillion and rising ..... who needs that kind of democracy.
Maybe it's time that the US stopped telling other countries how to run their affairs and started listening to how countries run a democracy successfully.
Capitalism is not sustainable if it costs US$85bn a month just to prop it up.
You can't replace education with patriotism or we'll all end up living in trailer parks.
How much testosterone do you need to admit that you're getting it wrong ??

Pomosexuality

After Obama

I've recently criticized Barack Obama rather severely. He deserved every letter of it. The alternative? I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jon Huntsman Jr. That's the guy I really hope (for the US at least) that he'll succeed this absolute clown of a President Obama.
