Spain deserves some applause for not wavering and not bending the democracy backbone simply in order to achieve some brownie points. Listen to the people and show democracy works.
Listen to your children and you will be educated beyond your own knowledge level. Children are unique in this world as they have the innocence Jesus was speaking of when he said to get into heaven one has to be like a child. Their seeming lack of knowledge is the catalyst that makes their vision so unique. I like to say that I teach my children what is right, what is
I can't stop laughing. Sorry Soltair but you're off the deep end when it comes to the definition of democracy. But I think it's awesome how rooted the misinformation can be. Here you are telling me democracy is doing whatever you want with no accountability to the people they represent. *claps*. I bow down to you and your illogical reasoning. It reaffirms my own sure truth. "It does not make the new government more democractic, just more represent
all I see here is that Brad is hoping more people get killed for 'his' sake.
Bush didn't say the US was leaving Iraq after the supposed handover of power. Why do you think they're sending 20,000 more troops?
"Governments aren't bound by opinion polls" true, they should be bound by democracy and their citizens. Nice spin fellas. Making Bush's job easier. He's got people convinced that lying and deceiving are legitimate acts of government. Even Stalin had more problems sucking in his citizens into fearing an imaginary enemy.
How can Solitair say "They were acting against thw wishes of the vast majority of their people" and then end with "Perfer democracy at work."? What in the hell is this person reading to be able to say things that are so contradictory and screwed up. I hope he/she doesn't pass that opposite-of-the-meaning-of-the-word on to his/her kids.
*claps for shadesofgrey* Insightful.
whatever baby but you can't spin real democracy. 90% said no, they did it anyway = not democracy. They say no, they listen and don't send the troops, = democracy in action. My point is that it's up to the people right or wrong to choose their nation's destiny. You think of the US as the empire who can bend basic beliefs just to suit the flavor of the day. And please don't say you think the US has a majority when supporting the war. 54% or whatever. Loa
"miki, I see where your at on this. I do. Your right.." *gasps and then faints to the floor in a heap* :)
true too sconn1. Too true.
very insightful shadesofgrey.
true.
boiling over? Over what?
Shumalite said: "Do the people really understand what they're being told?" Again you see through the USA-view glasses and miss the point. Trust me. The people in Spain aren't stupid moron idiots who can't read or understand. How typically American. Looking at all through your eyes only. Here you are calling them stupid morons because the didn't want war without the UN. Simple as that.
Lol. CrazyLady you're starting to be your name. Awesome! "BUT sometimes the government has to take certain risks to protect it's people" Hmmm. Ok now. Let's see how crazy lady sees things. The government is supposed to take risks to protect its people....by sending them to a killing zone which their entire country didn't want them to be sent to. I bet you protect your kids by placing their bunkbeds on the freeway right? :)
Thanks GreyWar I will mark it. What's this blacklisting anyways? What does it do? It's not like covering your ears so you can't hear one person's words is it? I assumed it has something to do with the points system so I never bother to think to use it. I don't want to be running down someone's score because I hate what they're saying. Instead, I tell them I hate what they're saying. Thanks. Even 'insightful'. CrazyLady you're backwards and let me s
The US is leading the charge against Spain and saying their actions are a victory for the terrorists. But of course that is the ignorant way of looking at it. Let's think. What's democracy? It's being able to vote for representatives who will represent them. One-person-one-vote. We know this. So when 90% of Spain was telling their politicians: "Don't send the men to I
KING!!! Where the hell have you been you old dawg? Still talking about that crusty sock you keep next to your computer?
Here's the anti american cleric guy who's a supposed leader of a religious group. He makes statements at news conferences and has a lot of things to say about the bad US and such. What I just noticed is the fact that HE IS ALWAYS READING FROM A PIECE OF PAPER. Even the ignorant 10th grade level Bush, when talking to reporters and the like, doesn't read anything from a
Never heard of Sam's Club. But we got a few Walmarts here so I'll go check it out. Myh boy'd love it bigtime.
Don't bother with this GreyWar character. She's got a real hard on for war, as her name indicates. But you can feel free to chuckle over her assinine comments about how the war is glorious and how America leads the way down the moral path. Hilarious eh? She saw my comment about how I think it's wrong to kill kids and women in Iraq and she laughed and 'blacklisted' me whatever that means. The calloous words behind her are scary and it's a shame we have
Awesome! My littlest boy loves monster trucks and I've never seen one of those. They're so fun too. Hopefully you got it at a WalMart or Toys "R" Us.
During a time of war we always hear nothing but bullshit when it comes to what is 'official' news and what is not 'official' news. News blackouts and lies and innuendoes take on the public and it wins hands down every time. Sure the news stations will provide 'experts' and former 'experts' to bring us the nitty gritty on what's going on. Not many people realize they a
They'll win it all.
