Eisbrecher- "Eisbrecher"

I can think of a couple of facts he's stated that if I recall correctly, were unsubstantiated. Namely: that before the 1991 Gulf War Iraq had the highest rate per capita of people with PhD's. In the same entry he also said something about fastest growing economy. I'm not saying that it's lies, just I'm not sure if he bothered posting any sources on that.

Fidel once addressed the international (mainly Western ) media image of communism when asked what he thought about the handfuls of people frequently attempting escapes from Cuba into the USA, all he said was look at how many millions escape from capitalist Mexico. I think it goes to show that both systems can work in theory, but people make it so neither system is all that functional.

I've never seen any live performances ;)

There was actually alot of advantages to life in Communist Russia people don't hear about (for obvious reasons I suppose). They point to the fact that people in general were payed alot less than in America, this is true, but what they fail to note is that the people also needed alot less money. For example, the rent on our house (we had a family of 4 and it was easily large enough of a house) was roughly 19 rubles per month (back then when the ruble was actually worth more than the dollar, so it would've been like 24USD per month). For electrity (since the heat had to run constantly run in the winter, it was Siberia we were living in) we payed around 0.12 rubles per month, in the summer around 0.02 rubles per month. Instead being thousands of dollars in debt for higher education like here in the states and elsewhere, they actually payed you to pursue higher education. In most states the minimum retirement age is around 55 (although most people could never afford to retire that early because they've not got enough money saved up), in the USSR, after giving the state only between 7 to 10 years in work, you could retire at age 45 if you so chose.

There's alot that can be learned from his site as far as politics go, at the same time it'd be really imprudent to take everything you find there and accept it as right.

Is that the same as http://www.nearfantastica.com/bored/index.php?showtopic=1292 ??

You're right... too serious, better make it my neighbor's cat instead.

I swear on my neighbor's eventual grave. ;)

Although I'm not yet old enough to vote, I wouldn't if I had been not because I don't care about politics or what happens to the nation, but because I'm disillusioned with the system. First off neither the democratic nor republican party to a sufficient degree represent my beliefs. In America, a nation of nearly 300 million people, only 2 major parties to chose from that cover the wide spectrum of political beliefs that are bound to exist?? That's pretty stupid. Furthermore, as demonstrated in the last election and several elections prior, the popular vote doesn't matter because the electors in the electoral college can vote contrary to what the majority voted for anyway.

Yeah, it's just the kind of thing I would do.

*Tells you I made that*

You don't suppose it will reach South Carolina?? <---gots some people there to be concerned about.

Well with my girlfriend (who's slightly goth-ish I must admit), she responds a whole lot more to a song that would say something like "bend over, your face doesn't interest me" rather than one that goes something like "baby, I wanna be with you tonight" .....even though they say essentially the exact same thing.

I've never been in a hurricane before, just how long do these things last??
