It's too late

Sorry we didn't listen to you Dwight. :(

Actually, no, just very well, informed. And debunking your lies. What's REALLY hard to "beleave" (at least learn how to spell stupid...) is the communist propaganda in the US today, mainly promoted by CNN. That's hard to believe.

it's really hard to beleave anyone, could be as fuked up in the head, as you are!

"nice and handy to the ussr"... Actually, it was lots of resources for the ussr as well. Which were FAR MORE important for the ussr, that's why they invaded them.

Russia and Iran only started to be friends AFTER the shah was overthrown by an extremist islamic coup.

It was the ussr who FIRST tried to impose its system in Afghanistan because they saw they were on the verge of collapse. They tried the same scheme as in E Europe, it's just that it didn't work. They also killed millions in there.

The more I read, the more I think I'm talking to a computer.

Before the overthrow of the Shah, the USSR & Afghanistan were friendly neighbors. During the missile crises, the US was forced to dismantle missiles directed towards Russia, in order for the Russians to take their missiles out of Cuba. Afghanistan seemed like a nice place to impose one of their Pinochet type Dictatorships. Lots of Resources & nice & handy to USSR. Knowing the evil of the US, Russia was forced to fight. hence..Taliban!

if it does, then the guilty must suffer the consequences. Like it happened many times. You see a problem in the idea of making profit and see that as the most destructive thing. That's not ever remotely as destructive as a system that relies ON HUGE amounts of resources to give people all sorts of free stuff. Furthermore, for such a system to survive, imperialism is a MUST. That's why soviet union was so imperialistic and that's why they invaded Afghanistan.

Well, I'm not a supporter of big corporations but I do support the idea of self achievement and that's what many corporations represent. In an extreme way. However, I don't understand how corporations reduce employment. The bigger they get, the more people they employ. They need people to function. And when they go over the line, well, you can see what happened in the '80s with the corrupt bankers and businessmen on wall street. If the LAW is applied, then capitalism should not degenerate. And

same puddle of shit it always was. Just like the garbage who advocate more government control over the people for the people's own good... The government claiming that they come and save the people from themselves is the most cynical joke that has ever been said by any kind of system. And that's exactly what your piece of shit system claims.

America's founding fathers decided that people's economic prosperity should be left on them alone. Because they knew what government really was and they knew that governments will NEVER change. But that's exactly what today's communists in America say, that you can't apply "the old ways" to the present... Well, the current REALITY shows more than ever that America's founding fathers were right. And that those old ways are applicable more than ever before. Because the government has remained the
