>No. It is our form of limited government (at least up until recent history) that has allowed individuals to create the greatest economic engine ever. The two go hand in hand; one is not possible without the other. The machine you are typing this on, where was it manufactured? |

Weasel, That's your comeback to support your view? You win, I'm speechless. |

I'd ask what view you think I apparently hold, but I think we've derailed the thread enough. Best wishes mate. On the upside, the two of us avoided the DH so far unlike the other bloke in this thread, so we should probably be cutting our losses in any event :) |

Bashy--that's easy--the one on the right is from that episode where Kirk nailed an alien chick. I forget which one that was. |
Zephyr1 | 07 Apr 2017 7:04 p.m. PST |
Was that the one where Kirk turned green afterward? McCoy could have had his own series (like "House") just finding cures for Kirk alone… ;-) |

Ochoin, Nazi stands for 'National Socialist Workers Party' Communist Russia was the 'Union of Soviet Socialist Republics' Legion is right, they were socialists. Their economic system led to famines, shortages, and gross inefficiency. Capitalism has led to the first society in the history of man where obesity is a problem. Could someone tell me why I should care what a Kardassian says or does? Anyone… |

Oh my ! Just think of what kind of STDs you could get from Alien females ! But I'll freely admit I'm fond of the color green. So call me a bigot[again !], the whole bumps on the face and head thing, etc. Does not work for me ! Plus Klingons don't bathe regularly ! However, I might be able to get use to the antennas on those blue Andordian females ! |

The Nazi party's use of the word "Socialist" was about as accurate as the former East Germany being called the German Democratic Republic. Don't get too hung up on what people call themselves. |

The Nazi party's use of the word "Socialist" was about as accurate as the former East Germany being called the German Democratic Republic. Don't get too hung up on what people call themselves. Clearly. You would have to be naïve beyond belief to believe the labels political parties put on themselves. Let's take North Korea. The ruling party styles itself: Korean Workers' Party (KWP). Does anyone believe that its aims are the advancement of ordinary people? Not to mention the one party state is labelled "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea". until you run out of other peoples' money Funny, Ralph. Can you remind me of the current US national debt? |

No need to remind me … It's on the news almost daily. But you don't live here so it's just " media buzz" to you. But I pay taxes, of all types, and those taxes and others things just keep going up … The $$$$ must be going somewhere … But it ain't going back into my pockets !? Oh … wait … I got $13 USD back from tax return to the IRS. So well it's all better now ! Never mind … |

But you don't live here so it's just " media buzz" to you. Hardly. I'm not parochial so I actually take an intelligent interest in the world at large. You do understand a government in a democratic system *is* the people & thus spends tax dollars on them? Of course, realistically there is waste but I'd suggest your tax dollars ($$$$ as you quaintly put it) are being spent at least partly on infrastructure, health, education etc. |

I quite like the Kardashians. Indeed, though DS-9 was *not* my favourite Star Trek series, they gave it some snaky frisson. I'm still a bit vague about the link between them and a Pepsi commercial. |

The sad reality is that commercial TV in this country comprises about 90% so-called reality TV, and despite trying to give their own 'reality' output a veneer of intellectual justification, even the hitherto more sophisticated public stations have been dragged into the collective cultural nose-dive. |
