I am worried - US seems to be head down the road of the Soviet Union!!!

[Logical]

Afghanistan for the Soviet Union - Iraq for the US

Fear of the US caused the Soviets to destroy their own economy

Fear of terrorism is causing the US to destroy its own economy

To protect itself the Soviet Union took away its citizen's rights

To protect itself the US is takng away its citizen's rights through the Patriot Act and the use of wiretaps without legal means

In the Soviet Union the Politburo felt it was above the law

In the US the Bush administration seems to feel it is above the law


This really is a sad situation.

are you just trying to stir Raiduhs up?

We're not standing in line for toilet paper hours on end just yet.

No, I think we need to get things back under control. It is not like we will collapse in the next year but we keep heading this way and I see disaster ahead.

Wasn't it Lenin that said capitalism will consume itself, or something?

[Adept Havelock]

Crap. I can't stand the Internationale...

Not even the version sung at the beginning of The Hunt for Red October. ;)

The US will be divided in 3 countries - California, Oregon and Washington will be called Arnoldtopia, the other two will be the UDS (United Democratic States) and the URS (United Republican States).

We will have Civil War for 100's of years until the independants finally start their Dictatorship in the year 2450.

Ok, im done...

Great Minds discuss ideas

Average Minds discuss events

Weak Minds discuss people

What kind of minds discuss things exclusively in smilies?

Americans won't stand these Stooges plugging in some other dufus as "president" in 2008. The Reign of the Neocon is over.

you must be living in a different economy! :hmmm:

One that has decided not to comment rather to show the type of response withoug having to do the typing. Regardless of is what is said it turns into insults and I'm not going there in the future.

To answer the question...a mind that would rather discuss ideas.

Not my words in the sig by the way, ER.

This really puts pressure on Edwards and Peterson to come up with a Chief SB victory before the country collapses.

The bright side is maybe Lamar would be able to buy us a Lombardi trophy on the black market.

"Stir Raiduhs up" is his middle name. Vlad "Stir Raiduhs up" Logiclsav.

Well, I guess if Vlad can be Mememe-ized, he is certainly capable of being penchief-ized.
The strokes of your outline are so broad as to have almost no meaning.
It's the rhetorical equivalent of;

Charlie Manson is a homo-sapien.
Mother Teresa was a homo-sapien.
I fear there was no difference between Manson and Mother Teresa.

Things that make me feel special:

1. That you would cast me in the same mold as Mememe. That is truly some rarified air.

2. That you would use my name as a slur. A person knows that they have made their mark when somebody else uses their name to pigeon-hole others or uses it to divert away from the giste of a debate (although I do respect the way in which you represent yourself on this board).

Things that compel me to respond to your post:

1. Logical's generalizations are valid. We are at a time where those questions need to be asked by those of us who trust the wisdom of our founding fathers. Keep in mind that the only way Americans would be willing enough to surrender our inalienable rights is to be afraid enough to do so.

2. While Logical is generalizing, there is more than enough evidence to support claims of an association between the way in which the Bolsheviks consolidated power and the way in which this administration has consolidated power.

There is a difference between trending and generalizing. Certainly I was trending based on things that are specifically similar. I think you can see the distinction you just choose not to do so.

[Chiefs Express]

I have it on good authority that Vlad is the debil. Check his avatar!

Ok, you want a refined analogy.

Charlie Manson got angry ordered the murders several people
I just got angry and spoke sharply at my dog for tracking mud in.
I fear I may be starting to become Manson-esque in my homicidal anger.

[Ugly Duck]

I just got angry and spoke sharply at my dog for tracking mud in.Whoa!.... You trained your dog to wipe his feet before coming in? I thought my dog was smart - but I don't think I could teach him that. I'm impressed!

Nothing that complex. He's just trained to stop right inside the door until I've wiped his paws off with his towel.
