Absolutely true. I'm just saying it no longer functions as a communist society.

Considering they are outnumbered almost 4 to 1, they haven't done too badly. The people of Ukraine would tell you to go f**k yourself, Putin fan boy. You don't give a crap about the suffering of people.

64 km a day is over 23,000 km a year. I don't do half of that.

There is something morally wrong with expecting future generations to continue paying for services that were used before they were born.

Not at all. China just doesn't function as a communist country. At one time it was a communist country but stopped functioning as one when it opened up to the west. It just continues to use the label. North Korea calls itself The Democratic Peoples Republic when it is nothing of the sort.

China calls itself Communist but if you read the definition of communism, it is not. It is a single party totalitarian state but doesn't operate as a communist state. The name communist comes from commune or everything is jointly owned. The Chinese have property rights, the ability to gain personal wealth and a stock market where anyone can invest in Chinese companies. There is as much disparity between rich and poor in China as there is in western countries.

Communism is when the state owns everything and everyone works for the state. China has property rights and people are free to make profits and become privately wealthy. China is totalitarian and a single party state but not Communist.

EU countries that aren't in the Euro Zone have control over their own currencies. Seven EU countries do not use the Euro, eight when the UK was still a member. Britain has had the worst performing economy in the G7 since Brexit. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64450882

Quisling led a collaboration government in spite of being opposed by the King who fled to Britain. Norway resisted Germany's invasion and continued to resist throughout the war. Shetland Bus The Kings Choice Good movie. I recommend it.

Low birth rates are an issue in all developed countries, including China. I don't understand the animosity toward the EU. It has been responsible for the longest period of peace in European history. The whole principle behind the EU is that if you bring people closer together the more they have to lose and the less likely they are to try and kill each other. So far it has worked very well.

Swedish troops to join NATO group in Latvia Well done Vlad.

Sounds like Haiti is the place for you.

I don't dispute your right to express your views or live your own life according to your beliefs. I fully support them. You are the one who wants to control others according to your beliefs. This isn't about supporting crime, neither of us do that. You think it is morally acceptable to put people to death for those crimes and I don't. It is no more complicated than that.

I want to be free of religious doctrine when it comes to making the laws I live under. You want to control people using your interpretation of the Bible as an excuse.

You don’t get to control how others live their own lives. You are the one who wants to put people to death, not God. You just use God as an excuse.

I'm opposed to people who try to use the Bible to control others.

It can't live outside her body.

You make up your own rules who is to live and die and use the Bible to justify them.

You believe in killing adult humans but not a woman's dominion over her own body. You are a control freak.

Doctor assisted suicide is not taking someone's life, it is giving them control over their own lives. Yet you think you are justified in killing in Gods name. You religious types are just control freaks.

Yes I am OK with doctor assisted suicide because it is the individuals choice. Funny that you are so protective of fetuses but have no problem with putting adults to death.

I have a conscience and don't use a book as a crutch to justify putting people to death.

I would rather answer for not killing people than killing them. You can explain why you used the Bible to justify killing your fellow humans when you didn't have to.

Did Jesus write the Old Testament?
