Did you know the USA has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. Higher than much maligned nations with much higher populations e.g. China
America is a ****ed up country. Any country that things the way to stop school shootings is to arm the teachers, is morally ****ed.
Is that what I said Eric? Have I suggested at any time that The US are squeaky clean? Not that I can see or recall, as far as I can see Putin and to a lesser extent Iran, are blaming the Rebels for the chemical attack (s), all of the attacks. They will not acknowledge that anyone else - least of all the Syrian regime, are in any way potentially culpable. They have made up their minds to do nothing but make threats against anyone who attacks Syria. They are unwilling to negotiate for some reason and the only reason seems to be that they still see the US as the great Satan, much the same as Ghaddaffi, Saddam did and North Korea, Iran and to a lesser extent Russia still do.
The point i'm making is he is as big a clown as GW Bush was. Remember how we all laughed at Bush in his Cowboy gear?
They have a constitution which allows the bearing of arms, it's ****ed up but what can Obama do about it? Nothing really, same way as we can do nothing in Scotland about a convicted wife beater receiving wages as an MSP. That's morally ****ed too but it's not on the same scale as using chemical weapons on people who don't agree with your political views is it?
No I can't remember because I tend to ignore the sideshow and concentrate on the actual issues at hand. How a person spend their own time is none of my business. And mocking Putin based on your own cultural norms displays a certain ignorance of how other people from different national backgrounds engage in recreation
America is certainly not without problems, but where would you rather live; The USA, Russia, or any random ****ed up Muslamic ****hole?
Deary me Jacky, what he is engaging in in those photos is not a "Cultural Norm" it's a PR exercise to show the Russian people that he's a tough no nonsense outdoorsy type, unless you think the Russian people are in the habit of stripping to the waist to fish, hunt, ride and wrestle with a dog?
What has that got to do with it? As you may have noticed around 95% of the worlds population don't live in America. You may live in a Muslim ****hole but because America may be a nice place to live does it suddenly give them the right to bomb the **** out of you in order for them to continue the comfortable and sheltered existence of those who do happen to live there?
the prosecution tried to peddle that lie in his trial. In no way could they substantiate it, the judge threw it right out. Any other lies?
Weren't you attempting to suggest a moral equivalence between America's president and the thug who runs Russia as a personal fiefdom? It seems to me you were. I was merely pointing out the absurdity of your position.
So where was America when Saddam gassed his own people? Oh thats right, that was okay as America got paid for that shipment of chemical weapons that they sold to Saddam.
No America were helping him deploy them against the Iranians at the same time. CIA documents declassified this week
And had you lived in 1930's Berlin you would have seen Hitler as the good guy and the warmongering British,French and Russians as the bad guys,that's just how it works when you are subjected to the drip drip of propaganda.Some of us try not to be taken in.If you watch the BBC for example you would think that every Muslim in Britain has a sunni nature and helps his fellow man.Ignores the fact that half of them are in fact Sh'ite.
