I suspect that I know more than u do,

How many? When?
xris wrote:and why socialism, a means of maintaining freedom from exploitation, rose to prominence.
I re-iterate: socialism is the philosophy of the criminal, who seeks to rob
the successful, of his property; it is not respectable.
xris wrote:If you had any idea about the suffering the working classes experienced
That 's their tuff luck.
Capitalism is the
FREE interplay of the laws of
supply n
demand; perfectly natural.
xris wrote:your silly rhetoric would not be so bigoted.
I understand that word came from a captured Viking,
who
refused to kiss the foot of the King of England;
I can live with that.
xris wrote:Your freedom is the freedom to exploit and control.
Everyone shoud use the laws of Nature to exploit n control as well as he possibly can. That makes sense.
xris wrote:It has been blatantly obvious by your American mindset,
Yes! I fly my own colors.
xris wrote:it has shown its capacity to interfere and manipulate its politics on a world
that has grown tired of your certainties in capitalism.
1. I deny that, and 2. I don 't give a rat 's ass
qua whether it is tired or not. I only care whether
I am tired.
xris wrote:Don't confuse free trade with your example of capitalism,
a country that has more trade restrictions than any in the free world.
I 'm not in the mood to argue tarriffs; off topic, anyway.
xris wrote:That's not free trade its a bastardisation of capitalism.
You have less freedom than us in reality
Less freedom of
self defense?? Ask farmer
Tony Martin about that.
xris wrote: this mirage you admire is for a new colony where you killed others to get what you wanted

The Indians were nomads, not claiming title to land.

England was
FREE before then. The English used to take
pride in that.
xris wrote:and hand guns made illegal in the 1990s
nothing to do with the introduction of a socialist government, was it?
It WAS!
Socialism is based upon the
docile submission of your subjects, held in
subjection to the collective,
as distinct from the Individualism of
personal DIGNITY &
AUTONOMY.
Socialism is degradation of personal dignity.
I am
very lucky not to be an Englishman.
If my uncle did not have a quarrel in 1912 with his father (my grandfather)
over English table manners, I 'd have been an Englishman.
That 's a horrible thought.
xris wrote:You still will not accept that you kill more of your fellow citizens, usually close relative,
than the proportional death toll in Iraq.
True; I do
not accept such nonsense.
Thay
BETTER do that, or we 'll throw them in the garbage and get
better guns.
Mine were selected for maximum stopping power.
When I was 8, I began carrying a .38 caliber revolver.
It took several years before I realized that its stopping power
was less than optimal (without a head shot) and I upgraded to a .44 special,
loaded with hollowpointed slugs, to
maximize stopping power.
xris wrote: the disadvantages outweigh any macho image you like to display.
Yes; the
disadvantages to violent predators, who find their victims
killing them.
xris wrote:The historic reasoning behind guns in America was
to defend yourself from a hostile native trying to get back the lands you stole, with a bow and arrow..
We did not steal anything with a bow and arrow.
In any case, as I have
ALREADY pointed out,
neither here, nor in England, were there any police
until the 1800s; everyone was expected to defend himself
and he needed the means to
DO it.
Being unarmed was considered indecent,
and it was ofen illegal to go around unarmed.

and could be impeached without he need of a silly hand gun tucked under your bed.
U demonstrate your ignorance of history. In arguing for ratification
of the US Constitution in the Federalist Papers, it was argued that
the citizens coud easily remove government, in that thay were
well armed and possessed much more power than government.
