At least lately. Who is the bigger socialist? a- M2Me b- Frankenfast c- Dyna d- hookers (just not the same over here at BWB) | ||

Why do you feel the need to drag hookers into this? I mean . . . is nothing sacred? | ||

no kidding leave the ho's outta this! | ||

Our closest allies are socialist countries, Great Britain, Germany, France etc.. In todays economy I think capitalist is a much dirtier word. | ||

Yep. Each of those socialist nations depend on us to fight their wars for them. Nice of them to outsource their defense costs to a capitalist nation. | ||

"Yep. Each of those socialist nations depend on us to fight their wars for them. Nice of them to outsource their defense costs to a capitalist nation." Sad to say that the thing we export the most are guns and bombs. We even sell them to both sides in the same war. Explain how the U.S. has fought wars for the countries I've mentioned. If you're talking WWll, you might have to give a communist country some credit for defeating Hitler. | ||

If you're talking WWll, you might have to give a communist country some credit for defeating Hitler. Yes, and then we fought to defend the rest of Europe from the growth of that Communist nation. I believe we are STILL defending the DMZ in Korea. The US bore the largest portion of the cost in the cold war. GB, France, and Germany enjoyed the protection of NATO and the umbrella of security WE provided. During that time, they sought to spend more money on socialist programs and less on their militaries. I'm not saying that they CAN'T fight. I'm simply saying that NOT having to spend on a military as a result of the protection we afforded these nations has allowed France, Germany, and GB to become more socialist. A socialist economy can not support the expense of funding a military AND providing huge social programs. (See Soviet Union) Nice, that is like comparing the Recalls of the tubers of the mid 90s to the new XB platform See Above. (Message edited by ft_bstrd on March 03, 2009) | ||

So according to that argument, we should continue to maintain a budget that would "protect" our allies militarily at the expense of domestic social programs. | ||

No, THOSE nations should spend less on their social programs and start carrying their fair share of the load. Unfortunately, we can't afford NOT to protect ourselves. It isn't like the UN is going to do anything. | ||
| Frankfast |
Somehow I think the US likes the role of being a superpower and would discourage our allies to become independent. I think we've become very controlling in that respect. | ||

Kind of a silly statement considering all the guff over the "coalition of the willing" and "the United States go it alone policy" statements made. So we want other countries to help us shoulder the burden but we really don't care if they contribute because we like to keep them weak and subject to OUR will? Germany and France are more than WILLING to allow us to "keep the peace". They know when the chips are down they can call for help, and we'll come running. | ||

Well, now that SacBORG is down I decided to check out the old BadWeb. Haven't been here in years it seems. Brings back a lot of good memories actually. Plus, I find out I'm an international celebrity. Somebody has even taken the name "anti-m2me". That's awesome! Oh, and by the way, I'm the biggest socialist of all. I'm number one. Or "numero uno" for all you illegal aliens!  | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I wouldn't say you are the biggest socialist:  | ||
| Dbird29 |
Typical M2ME. There is no "numero uno" there is "a" Simple poll and you screw it up. Probably blame it on Bush!  | ||
| M2me |
I wasn't taking the poll. I always recuse myself on polls that have myself as an option. | ||
| Dbird29 |
Sounds kind of like a Minnesota election. Recuse means vote at multiple precincts right? | ||
| anti-m2me |
"Somebody has even taken the name "anti-m2me". That's awesome!" Yeah, it wouldn't let me post with my normal AlanX1 user name. | ||
| M2me |
Yeah, it wouldn't let me post with my normal AlanX1 user name. But why don't you have a link on your name like everybody else? Not that I care, but I'm just curious. I don't know why I have a link. I thought everybody did and then I see anti-m2me without one and I think anti-m2me is a special account or something. (Message edited by m2me on March 04, 2009) | ||

Oh, when is SacBORG coming back online? This is just plain assed goofy. There is no sense of humor at all. I was entertained by even those I opposed most vehemently on SacBORG. Here, not so much. It's all just miserableness. See you out on the road, boys! Or maybe on SacBORG if it ever gets back up and running. M2me bids another fond farewell to BadWeb! | ||

I hate to drop a tangent in here, but I will. Does anyone know how Dyna's doing and when is the surgery? He probably doesn't care, but my prayer chain is spun up for a safe and successful procedure for him. | ||
| M2me |
SacBORG is back up. Dyna posted yesterday that his surgery was scheduled for today. No word yet from him. He probably won't be posting for awhile but hope he's doing OK. | ||
| Dbird29 |
I bet Dyna will come back from his death bed to post how Eslick's bike F*ed up. He is a hater! |
