The Nedverse and Aggieverse need not be at oddsWhich side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh -
Do you really think that lefties are any better ? Actually some of the leftist fantasies scares the hell out of me.
Uh yeah... I'm about the most lefty person on this board and I don't favour much more in the present circumstances than mild tax increases, reform of copyright law and public healthcare and suchlike.
The rest is for down the track.Only feebs vote.Comment

I thought that real life leftist fantasies was also concidered.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

1) Institute the income-is-income tax. If you get money via salary, inheritance, capital gains, whatever, it is all taxed as income (except for first $100,000 capital gains for sale of owner-occupied residence).
2) Revive corporate taxes. They're legally "people" so they get to pay taxes like the rest of us.
3) Institute national health care along the lines of SB 840, now pending in California Senate -- i.e. single-payor plan.
4) Engineer pull-out from Iraq. Establish the number of troops necessary to keep the insurgency under control. When Iraqis are trained, pull out that number of Americans.
5) Refocus the War on Terror on bin Laden & al Qaeda.
6) Bring international pressure to bear on countries that use child labor and/or prison labor. Most-favored-nation status only to those countries with minimal labor and environmental standards.
7) Redirect energy policy to renewable and nonpolluting sources. Sign onto Kyoto Treaty but push for developing countries like India and China to cut back on their pollution as well.
8) "Fix" Social Security by letting future generations know that in 2050, those looking at retirement will have a choice -- retirement at 65 with 70% benefits; retirement at 70 with full benefits.
9) Extend usury laws to cover banks, credit-card companies and other institutional lenders.
10) Develop water desalination projects to irrigate the American southwest & elsewhere.
11) Develop high-speed passenger train system.
12) Push NASA towards a Martian colony.
13) Begin colonization of sea floor.
14) Order the creation of a solar-powered zepplin to be used as my Royal Sky Yacht.

I've been called many things in my life, but Imran, a Fascist; please.
I'm a Nationalist; there's a vast difference between the two.
A Fascist, while he/she exalts the nation like I do, he/she stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of the opposition.
So after reading my suggestions you came to that conclusion, astonishing. Rutgers professors must be the best at teaching their students deductive reasoning.
Agathon, your comments are typical from people who still have a limy ***** as their head of state. People like you know everything about America, when in reality you KNOW absolutely Nothing.

Okay Ludd, you Fing Canuck, Define Nationalism. Five will get you ten says you get it wrong.
You also proved my point about people with the Limy B***H as your Head of State. All of the same mind-set, and on their viewpoint of America.Last edited by Muad'Dib; May 30, 2005, 17:13."And his word shall carry

Your use of the bold gives the impression that you have a large vein on your forehead when you stress your words.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Starchild, I use them to highlight or express the point I make or the insult I want to give. Yes, I know that bold means your shouting, but since I have to type it instead of speaking it. Well I'll use whatever works."And his word shall carry
death eternal to those who
stand against righteousness."Comment

Why draw attention to an insult? Takes the skill out of the game.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation.
