Socialism is the system where Gov't says who owns, it's not the laborers. They are used as pawns to think they own, they never do. Look at France...

If this OP is serious...
It's hard to believe a real person is sitting at a computer somewhere typing this stuff.

Aside from some third world Asian countries, there really are no socialist nations as of right now.

Yes! You caught me. You caught me being on here toooo, long. But the point is still there.

You know I hear the same arguments over and over again. We vote them in if we don't like it, vote them out. It just seems pointless to me to vent, bad socialist, or other side, bad capitalist bad...whatever is on the idea for the day.

It's like this a man pulls up with a wagon and people jump in the wagon. When the wagon takes them where they didn't want to go, they blame the driver.

hello

Bush was the anti-christ (labeled by people) Obama the anointed one, (again labeled by people) you know I just don't know....

How many times can you use that? You realize the tinfoil hats used in the movie were to calm the children from the reality of Aliens invading.

They weren't used in order to say they didn't exist.

So who is really wearing the tinfoil hat?
