Exactly. Somalia lacks a strong central government. Is this what you want for the us?

Somalia has governments, and LOTS OF THEM, none of which respect individuals, and all of which exert force and power to maintain themselves and control of the population under them.

like it or not, alot of your ideas and beliefs do fall in line with the Republican Party. So yes, people will think of you as a republican. You took offense to that and went on attack mode for no good reason. You could have simply corrected me and moved on, instead you chose to act like a child an throw petty insults.

To be fair, whether or not beliefs fall in line with a party doesn't mean that they belong to said party.
Most people would assume I'm a democrat, but I refuse to be part of a political party that's pretty much as bad as the GOP.
It's better practice in forums to keep such assumptions quiet until the other party says what they belong to.
That is very true. Even from our close neighbors perspective: the Democratic Party would be considered right wing in Canada.

But it doesn't control anything. Is this what you want for the us?
Then what does it do? I mean, other than arm people who go around shooting others indiscriminately?
You act as if 'government' is defined as some kind of single supreme authority...
There are scores if not hundreds of "governments" in Somalia... a few are "regional" governments that have some kind of national or international recognition... warlords, black marketers, smugglers, tribal systems, Islamics, and others.
Each claims and/or enforces its authority over the people by violence of threat of violence - just as ours now do.
They ARE governments. Plain and simple. Just not the kind you want recognized, because it interferes with your partisan arguments.

Perhaps you should actually try to find the truth behind the arguments.
I'm not a "link dink", who just posts links to what other people say. But, I DO expect you, when someone contradicts you, to actually go out and learn what is objectively true, and then argue it.
Obviously, that idea is totally foreign to you. You repeat the arguments of a political party without thought or question. The "no wrongdoing was done" argument is as false as anything could be - yet the president repeated it the other day.
Mountains of evidence of HUNDREDS of people who have been harassed and abused solely because of their political leanings AND the words of IRS people themselves have demonstrated that it was absolutely and objectively true that it happened AND IS STILL HAPPENING.
That you would seek to discredit anyone who objects to this behavior, and that you would seek to promote unquestioning acceptance of government behavior can only spring from blind obeisance to partisan dictates.
Yet you cannot provide evidence to back up any of the claims you made in this comment. Thats a lot of words to amount to nothing.
I do and I have college degree to prove it.
Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership of means of production.
Most of the poorest countries on the planet subscribe to that system. Look up laissez-faire
capitalism.
