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.

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...

While republicans are calling for less spending, and cutting public workers pay and benefits, one group of public employees has been exempted from these cuts so far. The United States Congress has the best pension plan and Medical...

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 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, right off the bat, I told you where I was getting my ideas from. Why are you getting so mad all the sudden? Rather than insult me, maybe you should try to actually contribute to the discussion? Here's what you should have done: go on Google and...

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...

HawaiiGopher Taskr, how do you reconcile that with the non-aggression principle? I mean, I've had numerous discussions with libertarians telling me that government should not be allowed forcibly take your money to fund things. They believe it should be completely...

HawaiiGopher I'm sorry, but again I must protest against the use of the word "socialist." A socialist would promote democratic control of the workplace, yet clearly Obama gives considerable preference to wealthy lobbyists. As for government power, again, that's a...

HawaiiGopher Oh, come on, please don't start with those talking points again. It really serves to discredit Republicans as conspiracy theorists. Attack Obama for the failure of his policies, not this ridiculous nonsense!

HawaiiGopher As for the USSR being a "communist" nation, I don't really agree with you there. As I said before, socialism - as seen by the mainstream Marxists - was about moving towards a society without coercion: no rulers, no states, no borders, no social classes, no...

HawaiiGopher Well, see, I don't quite understand the distinction you make. Take into consideration how libertarians view taxation. To them, government is forcibly removing their money towards causes they do not necessarily support. Why would using your money to pay...

HawaiiGopher Ugh, but it's so blatantly obvious that you're only going to target the "hypocrisy" in what you've collectively called "the left." That type of partisan bickering makes me gag and it's only reinforced by the sensationalist media. I think Glenn Beck, Rush...
