For the first time since he's been in Iraq, I talked to a buddy of mine the other day. I asked him what it was like over there, and he said that he couldn't describe it, and to watch this movie. He said it's the most realistic, accurate portrayal of what's going on over there.

That being said, I watched the movie, and recommend it to anyone who, as someone there says, "wants to find out what it's really like."

Side note: I thought the movie was very well put together, and it was a great movie

Nick broomfield Is a disgrace, and this movie is a disgrace to the Americans giving there lives for him and you to stay stupid ignorant shit. This movies is another joke written by a Liberal Piece of shit. He is obviously not a very good investigator considering they were carrying full ato M16 which have not been used since Vietnam.

I saw the movie, and I see that Nick tried to capture both sides, military and Haditha victims. I cant forgive anyone who kills children. I dont care if your a young stupid marine under stress, lots of warriors have been under stress in many wars and have not killed children. It's bad enough to kill the adults of that family. They were evil brainwashed idiots and I hope they suffer for what they did in their memories for the rest of their life.

Taxation/extortion/theft are concepts of taking property by involuntary and/or coercive means, Correct?

If this is true, than it is of the utmost importance for us to define property rights. This is where Capitalism & Socialism come in. In any economic textbook and standard dictionary you will see the terms defined something like:

Capitalism: Ownership from the concept of private property

Socialism: Ownership from the concept of public property

Does seem like a fair assessment?

[TheCapitalistdog]

@Patavinity

To my understanding of Capitalism, that is an incorrect statement. Taxation is a direct violation of the private property concept.

You made the claim, so the burden of proof is on you here. How do you define Capitalism?

[Patavinity]

@TheCapitalistdog Taxation is a form of capitalist exploitation. Without capitalism, it would not be necessary.

[TheCapitalistdog]

@Patavinity

Well, you didn't I suppose. If you conclude that taxation is in fact extortion, than we are already on the same page. How do you think this "chosen government" through "democracy" should be financed? :-)

[Patavinity]

@TheCapitalistdog When did I say I believed in taxation?

[TheCapitalistdog]

@Patavinity

1. I'm not saying you don't have a right to "choose your government", I'm saying the majority shouldn't get to tax & rule the people who peacefully disagree with you. The concept of Democracy by "Majority Rule" is a tyrannical concept. Tyranny of the Majority

2. I didn't accuse you specifically of wanting to steal from your neighbor. I'm saying having the majority on your side doesn't give anyone the right to do these things. Taxation is extortion. You pay or you get punished
