Onion, you're up.

I'm probably late, but Happy Birthday, ya freakin' badger.

You've just proven that you're not worth arguing with anymore. As of last June, I'm a professional historian, you fool. I'm currently working on my thesis and writing a short book about the Suez Crisis. I use Wikipedia as a source because it's online. It wouldn't be fair to quote journals and...

Actually, I've explained why B1--> Cwould differ from B-->C. It is now your job to refute it. So how about you come up with some sort of evidence, or theory, to show how I'm wrong? Or you could admit that you've been wrong all along, rather than just pretending my argument is false because...

Typical of me to win when I'm gone for a few days. And will be gone for several more. Oh well, I'll make sure to come back on to award victory to someone. I hope this wasn't done in the old thread: I like my women like I like my streetlights:

Firstly, I don't think a few times in over a year qualifies as "many." Secondly, I'm a student of International Relations, not economics. What I know about socialism is mostly historical. Thirdly, I don't see you refuting me, and I don't think I'm wrong. Fourthly, your disappointment or lack...

The best thing about Paris is that it doesn't take much effort to get laid, and the city isn't bad either.

"Yes, that's what we wanted you to think!"

Why did the koala fall out of the tree? It was dead. Why did the second koala fall off the tree? It was hugging the first koala. Why did the branch fall off the tree? It couldn't handle the weight of two koalas. Why did Jim fall off his bike? Because two koalas and a tree branch hit him.

:dunno: I'd just leave until they were gone. I'm bored, not addicted.

Actually, I understand the point entirely. I was just only referring to the first half of his post. I should have deleted the second half, but was quick replying, and didn't think to edit it. Socialism doesn't work for the reasons he espoused. In the same way capitalism doesn't either, for the...

You really need to get out more if you thought I was serious about that.

Why would I want to drink milk from biter cubicle workers?

No, this is how I deal with arguments I don't care about. Even if Russia did want such a war, it aint gonna happen.

Actually, I was only referring to the first half of his post. I didn't even pay attention to the second.

I'll be watching that movie next week, in an attempt to bang some chick who wants to see it. Maybe I'll let you all know how horribly, horribly bad it is.

Yep. There is simply no incentive to work harder in a socialist system. Human beings are not naturally altruistic. We do things for personal gain, and socialism - in the traditional sense, I'm not talking about the so-called "social democracies" here - does not leave adequate scope for such...

You're a Russophobe. I'm not bothering to read all of that, so this will just be opinion. I don't think Russia wants a war between the West and Iran. Certainly not a nuclear war. But they are interested in strengthening Iran in order to use it to help balance Western power in the Middle East.

I feel dirty agreeing with you, but you're right. There is no tangible benefit to this, it's just public relations. Even if Russia accepts the offer, and NATO actually follows up, it won't result in wholesale changes in the actions of either side.

I was going to post this myself. I don't work on one myself, but I did live in a rural area for my first 20 years of life.
