Oh for cryin out loud you guys
Ken - Sure youve been here awhile so at one time you may have said a fair amount and Im new so I missed it but damn sam if youve got something to really say Id like to hear it. Surely your deeper than an "ignore list" or quick little degrading remarks ? thats the easy stuff
Scanner - How old are you ? Not asking as a means of saying you havent seen enough. I'll just say after years (decades) of watching the machine grow and little else change. I just have a strong hunch its never going to. That and the fact that throughout mankinds history, greed of wealth and power has ruled regardless the cost.
Time Machinist - You have a differeng view than myself from here in the States, so Ill let it go. But it seems to me the countries that have closest followed the N.American or European economic ways are doing better for their populations than those still trying to stick close to that ancient book ... whichever one it may be. Believe me when I tell you I wish China was still mostly rice farmers.
I have no idea what the US does to Turkey, it seems to me if I remember correctly the Turkish army took some part in Africa durring WWII. [correct me if Im wrong]maybe forced at gun point and really wanted to become Nazi's > lol, I doubt it. Anyhow I have been led to believe that Turkey and India have recently been benefiting from technology jobs and other industrialization ? [Correct me if Im wrong] I know many have done a great business here in the States with gas stations. They even named them "USA". I had a few short talks with one new owner. I asked him which place he like living better, he said Turkey, the States was OK but Turkey was nicer. Makes since cause I still love living in the rural country of NY State and NY State sucks, its becoming all Califoricated like the rest of the surbarban areas. High taxs, out of control real estate prices and no ones batting an eye. Yea Im a joke alright ..... with a screwed up attitude ........ so quick to judge, when you know so little.
Your right the US does meddle, they do it right in our own homes here stateside, Englands done its share around the globe too. Still ones got to wonder which meddleing is more harmful ? Soviet Russia ? China ? The centuries of insane shit in the middle east & decades in parts of S.America ? Africa ? Myself Id rather have economic manipulation and peace enforced attitudes than the country next door poping in to steal my posessions, rape my wife, kill my children and burn the house. Im mean, yea it sures slows "progress" but somehow, I just dont think Id be into that shit.
Whatcha think ?
On the topic of Daniel Gildenlow - does anyone have a link leading to quotes of these horrible things he supposedly said ? SO I can read it word for word and make my own interpretation based on independant thought. I researched a bit last night and read two interviews, both involving music. Hes seems OK to me, a little ecentric which is more than just typical of the artisticly talented. I only made three pages of search so far and not one mention of political radicalism or wrong doing.
