Oleg is fine. It's you that I'm not sure of. THEY want us to be subservient. Today's sheep don't want to hear or understand the truth. The many kids who can't think are not alright, and many desire the life of a professional protestor.

It's good to see more prominent scientists realize that the whole climate change fiasco is near an end. Thank goodness we have skeptics. http://www.climatedepot.com/a/12797/Exclusive-Nobel-PrizeWinning-Physicist-Who-Endorsed-Obama-Dissents-Resigns-from-American-Physical-Society-Over-Groups-Promotion-of-ManMade-Global-Warming

This situation is getting greasier. http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2011/09/22/WP-Solyndra-went-on-a-spending-spree-after-getting-loan.aspx#page1 http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2011/09/17/solyndra-yes-it-was-possible-to-see-this-failure-coming/

Having kids is a main source of income for may, and a good source at that. I feel bad for the kids, but the parents have learned how to use the liberal system for entitlements.

Too bad in this country you are not allowed to state your views without being labelled a xenophobe, homophobe, islamophobe, racist, anti-bull-shit-a-phobe..etc. Therefore it is only acceptable, according to the real haters, to agree and be politically correct, or be labelled one of those nasty phobe thingys by the hypocrites. Easier to call someone a name then argue on content. Similar to Jack, I believe in traditional marriage. I have no problem at all with gays. I have a problem with militant gay activists trying to tell me how I need to think.

Wow, now I'm a right-wing hypocritical Christian. The simple make baseless generalizations. That is your camp citx. Coming from ou, nothing is an offense.

There is only one acceptable position on gay rights.

So the lesson is to cut taxes and cut spending. It's hard to get off the gov't nipple when you rely on them for a livelihood, so any little cut to a social program produces chaos. Is this what the USA is facing in the near future?

Got you the first time , Mike. Many countries in the world are not competitive. why is Greece in dire straits? is it because of the EU?

I found this site interesting. It's plenty of reading, but gives many good examples of why the UN is completely corrupt and useless, not to mention a complete waste of money. http://www.akdart.com/un.html

So what is the reason why they are in so much trouble? Especially Greece?

So basically, the problems for these countries is a result of Big Government? People want to retire at 50 with full benefits, but the money to cover their pensions has to come from somewhere.

I want to understand what caused the hardships for these European countries. I don't want this to turn into a partisan debate of socialism vs. capitalism; just facts. I'm curious because my daughter came home from school today and told me that her teacher claimed these countries failed because they aren't paying enough taxes which caused these countries to default on their loans. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Then things got off track here....citizenx made generalizations. Capitalism isn't all evil.

If Jesus doesn't like capitalism, like citizenX claims, then shouldn't all who earn a paycheque share with those that do not? Only capitalist pigs keep money for themselves, right?

Are you in the habit of giving a portion of your paycheque to a person on welfare so that you and s/he could have the same monthly income?

What were the war crimes again? Are you making this up as usual?

Chickens that laugh at penguins because the can`t fly are hypocritical.

Very good, eyeball. The article didn't mention China because human rights activists are too scared to do anything meaningful against countries with strong human rights violations. Easy to go after a soft target like Cheney.

Enough whining already, eyeball. It's useless.

Human rights activists are hypocritical. They want Cheney arrested, yet they won't go to China and pressure that gov't about their human rights record. Got that? http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Canada+should+Investigate+Cheney+human+rights+group/5454075/story.html

Unless it involves your daughter.

Human rights activists that want Dick Cheney in prison, yet refuse to pressure regimes such as Iran, China, Venezuela, and the list goes on. Left-wing Black Bloq who don't mind destroying property in Toronto, yet refuse to when a similar get together is held in China. Cowards...the whole lot.

How many years will that continue? This forum is much like rabble.

I think if that were the case, OC would become even more dangerous and ruthless....if that is possible.
