Socialism is defined by the government controlling the means and distribution of products. Isn't that something the Nazis did? Doesn't the acronym "Nazi" stand for National Socialism?messy said:

Enlighten me please?
Two things.... If you listen to Glen Beck you have issues. The guy, and all those at Fox, are nut jobs.
Second, when I first moved to the US Alabama voted to increase sales tax 1 or 2%. But the people voted no, they closed schools, fired police and fireman and released prisoners from their prisons.
Americans, as a group, are just so easily lead. No, that is not right. HUMANS as a majority are gullable, we like to beleive that the people with the loudest voices know what they are talking about and that the fact that everyone is heading that way, it must be a good direction to be going.
Obviously the guy that filmed this was picking on lesser educated americans, which they obviously are. And then almost laughing at them for their ideals.
But did you notice what happened when he explained it to them? Did they go crazy? Did they even TRY to rebuff him?
The issue is purely educational. There is a reason they had no idea what they were talking about...
The funny thing is, I bet you would see this exact same thing at a rally for the left. Hey, I am going to make a company called New Right Media!!!!!

That's not a valid argument since the New Testament frequently tell the reader to show full respects for the Old Testament as well.Perticular Elk said:
As for what God want's, no one in the bible seems to be quite sure of that actually. Sometimes he want's his people to be baby-raping murderers who enslave non-believers. Other times he wants them to be nice and cuddly with everyone else.
And once again we get back to waht I've said before: the bible wasn't written by God, it was written by people. Go is infallible, people are fallible in the highest degree. Therefore there's not really much reason to adhere to exactly EVERYTHING written in the bible even if some passages in the bible tells you too. Your religious values should rather be governed by your own personal faith rather than wha't written in some metaphorical fairytale book. If your personal belief is in a God that's loving, forgiving and caring and that he wants his people to try follow his example, then do so. As long as you let God do all the judging instead of trying to do "God's work" yourself...
//Housebroken Lunatic (who have read the entire bible before, including both testaments, so I don't want to hear anything about "ignorance" slander aimed towards me because im more familiar with the holy text off christians than many christians are themselves)
It's people like this that show how great America really is. Because if a group of fucking morons can pull this off when any sane man would lock them up, then we really are the land of the free.
Im sorry I really can't find a proper response to someone clearly so out of touch with reality. Have a happy life inside your illusion my friend...ryai458 said:
I had to stop the clip when the kid in the black t-shirt started mumbling about "yeah raising taxes against our freedom! .. stuff!". At around that point I realised I'd rather watch pictures of some dude ramming nails through his dick or something if I really felt like cringing.
Fortunately tasteless selfish nutcases like this are in the minority.
The problem is that retards like this believe that when they are watching fox news, that they are being informed when in fact they're just being filled with the right wing propaganda of the week. It's obvious from this clip that none of them actually know anything about what they're protesting, all they know are the buzzwords thrown around by dbags like Glenn Beck and Oreilly.
The irony is that these pricks are protesting the President for trying to get healthcare to the millions of americans who can't afford it but when the left wingers protested Bush for waging unnecessary war that led to the death of thousands of soldiers and innocents, they were deemed unpatriotic and unamerican.
And these people say they follow Christ. What do you think CHrist would've appreciated more unnecessary war or public health care.

Yeah, I tend to hear that opinion a lot in Manchester. It's kinda stupid this whole rivalry thing between Manchester and Liverpool that's been going on.leet_chris said:

Please don't take offense. I simply assumed that you were not versed in the scripture.
Since you know of the bible, you know that Jewish society and there actions were establish distinction be between The Father and The Son. Jewish theology is mired in rules and strict mores to mimic The Father's demand for purity. He intentionally established this to show that it is impossible to follow the law and remain holy (save for the way in Jesus Christ). The Old Testament is rife with battle and bloodshed because The Father God wished to show his might and his wrath.
Since Jesus died for the new Saints, there is no need to follow the old rules and rites of purification. That doesn't mean that the laws are void, it just means the Jesus will intercede for us when we brake them.
Yes the bible was written by people, but I believe it was inspired by God. Just because people wrote it doesn't mean its void of divine inspiration.
I suppose I should carry this else where because its terribly off topic.
*rubs temples to get the idiotic voices out of head*
My goodness some people are misinformed. Loved the guy holding the sign that said Joe Wilson for president then saying "I do not want Joe Wilson as president" or something to that effect. Sure that video is probably unfair, only showing the most stupid answers that they got, but still some that really is unbelievable.

What I don't understand is how anyone could be that stupid or gullible. Everyone likes to complain about the higher taxes, but in reality, would they complain more if Obama diverted funds from the exhorbitant military budget?
U.S. military spending has doubled, from 300 billion in 2000, to over 600 billion in 2008, the length of Bush Jr.'s presidency. He increased the spending by over 140 billion in his final year in office. The U.S. is spending approximately $2000 PER PERSON in the country. China comes in a distant second, around a mere $65 per person.
My question to Americans is, with all that money being spent on the military.... do you feel any safer? Even if Obama cut 100 billion out of the military and put it into health care that would improve the quality for millions of people. But if he so much as tries to cut military spending... the Republicans will label him a terrorist.

This is oh so so so so painful!!!!!!! My God!! This is the problem with democracy, you should have to understand the subject before you are allowed to vote on it. These people, how can tehy be so ignorent and uninformed and yet so steadfast in their beliefs!?
I'm American and I find that the vast majority of vocal people are entirely misinformed and have no care to actually learn about the subject they are complaining about.
You'd think that if you had two people, you'd get both IQs combined, the same would work for 1000s.
Nope, there's a dropoff somewhere.
