C'mon, you two, quit swapping slogans and try actual debate: maybe you'll change somebody's mind instead of just riling them for no reason.

I doubt it.

No we don't want to turn America into Europe and if we did what's your problem? We have lower teen pregnancy rates, lower drug abuse rates, (slightly) lower crime rates and the UK's life expectancy is 2 years more than yours, but what's this? We have the evil socialist NHS!!! :o

Behind, yeah, behind because the government pussyfoots everything and gives free handouts to people who need to get the hell of their asses and work.

And it's rather funny that Canada, perhaps the forefront of this whole "MAKE AMERICA CIVILIZED HUR HUR HUR" movement, is in reality vying to go back to pre-socialism standards.

Let's take it back to the 1950's, when America simply dominated Western Europe...

What does this have to do with anything? "Let's take it bake to the 1800s when Britain dominated the world". You see? It makes no sense.

And now that there's at least one admitted Communist in the Obamunist regime, namely Van Jones, and most likely many others, that possiblity is closer than ever to realization. :twisted:

Hmm, I'm not sure if any liberals (that I personally know of) actually favour socialism in the form of Eastern Europe in 1945-1989. I know that's the implicit/explicit fear of many uninformed Americans, but most democratic-socialist leaning lefties (myself included) are working towards the socialism of Western Europe, 21st century (ex: Norway, Sweden, etc) and not the failed USSR + friends states.

Don't crush New Mitanni's dream!

How will he be able to carry on fighting against the Ebil Athaist Muslim Commie Obama and his insidious plans to turn the nation into the USSA if people point out his blatant bullshit?

3: If you'll notice, both of these civilizations were rather right-wing... the fact that you didn't see the connection came as a surprise to me.

And by the late 1950's, they were already up thanks to US handouts. Socialism didn't save them.

Furthermore, the US fought in the war as well... and if you're trying to do the whole "BUT THEY AREN'T PART OF WESTERN EUROPE" thing, if you'll note that Britain, while I do know it took damage, it still was RELATIVELY intact by the end of the war.

Also, the Soviet Union, while it wasn't economically sound, still had LOTS of power.

The US fought from 1942-1945.

Great Britain and France fought from 1939-1945.

Furthermore, I do not recall America being invaded and occupied by the Third Reich.

Nor indeed, do I remember America being blitzed to shit by the Luftwaffe.

Now is that what you believe is attainable through stealing people's hard-earned money and giving it to the lazy, or is that what liberal trendiness wants you to think?

Let me put it this way: those who can work, should. Those who are disabled, elderly, or just plain got f--ked over by, say getting laid off, should get assistance. Those who cannot afford health insurance should be provided with a means to obtain it. Corporations shouldn't be allowed to engage in anti-competition practices to benefit from long term high prices, workers should have the right to unionize, and special interest groups shouldn't buy politicians. These are just some things I see as necessary. White text has also been noted. ;)

1: Yes, and taxing the hell out of people for your socialist policies is REALLY GONNA WORK, HURP DURP. Wow, that was mind-numbing.
2: Made money off of Europe? I'd have to look into that, but IIRC we actually paid Europe so much money, along with Japan.
3: Do you not understand the concept of "relatively?" If you look at, say, the USSR, France, Japan, or pretty much any other nation that was fully involved, Britain came out a lot better.

Nah; your lack of correlation with reality smacked right into my forehead in the shape of a palm.

And you are saying that you'd rather live in a corrupt, bureacratic Empire which denied the franchise to a majority of the populace, kept control in the hands of decadent landlords and aristocratics, had a Monarchy with substantial powers and allowed poverty to flourish in the deprived regions of Britain while it wasted finance on Imperialist annexations and Colonialism?

Hmm... now WHAT could have happened just before the 1950's that would put Western Europe at a temporary economic disadvantage? No, no, let me think...


And by the late 1950's, they were already up thanks to US handouts. Socialism didn't save them.

Furthermore, the US fought in the war as well... and if you're trying to do the whole "BUT THEY AREN'T PART OF WESTERN EUROPE" thing, if you'll note that Britain, while I do know it took damage, it still was RELATIVELY intact by the end of the war.


Now it's the 'late' 1950's.

By 'relatively intact' you mean there were still buildings standing? Well, yes. Clearly, a country with a population less than 1/3 the size of the U.S. at the time that suffered under the blitz for nine months and fought a war for five years ought to have rebounded rather quickly. Those lazy socialists. Were the Brits socialists in the 1950's? Oh, it doesn't matter, I suppose---they were socialists in their hearts!

Do you think the USA supplied Great Britain with military and food supplies for free?

Hell no.

While the UK was barely fighting off a Fascist Empire, the Americans were making a killing at our expense.

But hey, that's probably the American way in your opinion!

And furthermore, since you're an outed Fascist, you were probably dissapointed by the outcome of the whole war.

Wow. The irony of that statement is just so... ironic.

You are arguing with a Fascist.
