There has long been a dispute between Armenia and Turkey regarding The Armenian Genocide that began in 1915. Armenia claims that Turkey systematically murdered about one and a half million Armenians. Turkey denies this. I think...

HawaiiGopher (For those who don't know the significance of the "1920s" decade: this was right after the Armenian genocide and around the time that Turkey was being created as a new, independent state.)

HawaiiGopher I'm pretty sure France aided, and fought alongside, the Armenians in the 1920s. Also, this is a deeply political calculation on Sarkozy's part. I don't think it's much of a secret to anyone that France doesn't want Turkey to enter the EU. Turkey's response...

I think he should be our next President. He believes in what he says and what he believes. If you don't want to see him elected,could you explain why not. If you do want him elected,explain why.

HawaiiGopher Who cares? This is a non-issue picked up because it was a slow news week. I doubt Americans honestly need a President to remind them to "thank God."

It's one of the most insidious, vile lies ever told one person by another. An abuser whips the snot out of the victim, then screams at them, blaming the victim for the abusers complete lack of humanity. They blame everyone from...

HawaiiGopher Oh, and upon further thought, I'd also like to add that I completely agree that we should be trying to put measures that take away incentives for career politicians. However, once again, how far would you have to go for it to really have an effect? Seeing as...

HawaiiGopher I think part of the purpose would be to get them to practice what they speak. If they want to put in place austerity measures on the population they're meant to represent, they should be willing to take some cuts too. The fact that almost all of them are...

HawaiiGopher I think you're looking at it from completely the wrong angle. First of all, the people calling black conservatives "Uncle Tom" clearly aren't the most educated individuals. I'm sure we can both agree on that. So, from there, try to put yourselves in their...

HawaiiGopher While I definitely agree that cutting Congressional pensions is an honorable pursuit, will it really have that much of an effect? Most, if not all, of Congress consists of millionaires and billionaires. We can cut their perks, but something tells me they'll...

HawaiiGopher Rehabilitation, re-education, community service. Honestly, I haven't done enough research to give you a precise answer. However, I just think it's counter-intuitive to throw them in jail. Yeah, punish them.. and then what? I think a justice system should be...

HawaiiGopher Well, I guess that's up to interpretation. Personally, I strongly doubt social liberals seek to oppress black people or "keep them down."

HawaiiGopher Well, let's not forget our history here. Prior to 1964, most blacks were voting for the Republican Party out of a sense of loyalty towards Lincoln. However, in 1964, Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act and many blacks began to switch to parties. Heck, even...

HawaiiGopher Alright, well I disagree with your definition of socialism. Socialism, as it was originally intended, was NOT ownership by the government. I can only suggest you look into anarcho-communism. I'd also like to remind you that socialism only speaks about common...
