When you elect ANYONE you create a ruling class...there isn't supposed to be a ruling class. And I don't know if world domination is any different if it's about money then if it's about religion, is it?Simple Man":61ky9rx8 said:So what's the solution? Tear down the existing government and put a whole new set of liars and pickpockets up there? It's the nature of the beast, give men power, wealth and influence and they will run a mock with it. This includes socialist, communist, democratic, theocratic and any other form of government. Government makes the deals, the citizens pay the bills...mike_68":61ky9rx8 said:IMHO our problems are and continue to be that our politicians play both sides(yes, even the sainted Mr. Reagan) by saying one thing to the world but doing something different behind closed doors...and our soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen pay the ultimate price...
But what does it matter to them? As long as the right people are making tons of money all is well....
Maybe so. But we'd cover a lot of interesting ground getting there, and get closer to a rapproachment.I'm telling you, this would go NOWHERE!
I can make no sense of this.The writings of Richard Hoskins stands in opposition to everything my Messiah gave his life for.
The Inquisition always enjoys burning heretics at the stake more than having to acknowledge that the earth revolves around the sun after all. That's why it keeps being what it is, and doing what it does.Karl Marx":wxptn2b0 said:History repeats itself.
The first time as tragedy.
After that as farce.
Grasp that one simple fact and you have the key to the religious-economic conquest of the west.RKH":4ywayeow said:Before a merchant can go to a foreign land and buy and sell he must do two things. First, he must make arrangements with the priests of that land so that their god will not order his followers to kill him. Second, he must hire a king for a body guard...

I myself often read responses in these type of threads that are so beyond my belief system that I make a mental note not to cross swords with that poster, mostly because I know that if I do, the conflict will never end, that it's not worth it to try to penetrate that type of belief system. But that doesn't mean that anyone can't post, within the limits of decency.
I don't for a moment believe that such posting will have an adverse affect on BoB. It's contained in this forum and thread. It's not in the forums for tobacco and pipes. If the combatants have such emotion left over from this thread and carry it into other forums, they'll have to duke it out in pms.
Wow, what an asshole you are! You preach about restraint out of respect and then proclaim to not give a flying fuck what another person thinks in the same breath. You put out a plea to cause no ill will and then drop a shitstorm of it because someone comes along and has a different view of what's going on.Airborne":vlmk5i85 said:Actually, I don’t give a flying fuck whether you agree or disagree with me. My plea was to think twice before engaging in discussions concerning politics and religion because of the subsequent ill will it often causes. You don’t own this site. You’re a guest here.
