Um, I think that's because you have your own voice turned up on extra loud.

But, dear, where's the "evil"? Your rant has to do with the "Evils of Socialism". NOT that Greece is or is not socialist or becoming socialist.

What "eeee-vil" lurks in the heart of Greece that created the mess it's in?

Goldman Sachs.

Ironic that Capitalism played a major role in the implosion of a Socialist economy.

Who are you to have the final say as to who has "lost the argument"? Is that your purpose? To perceive yourself as winning every argument you ever set out to engage in?
Funny, you didn't to mention this when others claimed they were right.

If you believe in your rant so much, you shouldn't worry about people who attack the "argument." It's not about you. Although, for making inane arguments and inflammatory threads, I guess you can expect some flack.
A thread about socialist Greece is an inflammatory thread? Now I've heard everything.

Maybe, just maybe, you should refrain from posting in the threads I start.

Greece IS socialist. Socialism is evil (you might have a different opinion). Most of the ills the Greeks are experiencing come from debt incurred implementing a socialist ideology.

Again, if you once again don't care for the way I've framed the thread title...that's just too bad.

Try and stay on topic and not make it all about me, which you usually do.

Debt that they incurred against the Law of the EU with the help of Goldman Sachs.

You are only looking at some of the facts.

Your views of what is evil and what is not are really odd.

Where's your link to "bolster" these points (sic)?

How is socialism "evil"? Can you define socialism?

Gosh, the stupidity of Repubs is breaking records these days
But let me dumb it down for you and explain what "Socialism" is.

Quote:
: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goodssystem of society or group living in which there is no private property a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
Socialism - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary


Dosen't it suck when you can not read? Stop watching Fox "News", seriously. Although I think it's too late for that now.
