Thread: What's the dealio with GOP candidate Ron Paul?

Our capitalistic economic standard is responsible for much of the third world poverty. International corporations and our banks result in much of the oppression and debt around the world.

I am a little confused as to what you exactly mean by the point I made, and I am not sure if you even addressed my point to be exact.

You talked about our oppressive tax measures, when our lack of tax oppression is what allows us to be so successful. It is also what allows us to be so prosperous that we can have relatively low tax percentages and generate enough income to put more money into the government than otherwise, which allows us to give more money in foreign aid to third world countries than anybody else. The third world countries are the way they are because they are so far from having our type of system.

Most of the people in Iraq do not not feel the way you described. They don't like the temporary occupation, but it is the brainwashed Islamofascists who think we are doing the work of Satan and want to kill us.

I said nothing of extremist and only of people not wanting our occupation of their country, which fuels the extremists agenda.

That was the point I was making with more people liking Osama Bin Laden than their own leader. You see, making a point with facts instead of just something like "The people think this way."

And look into the world bank, then say we help the third world (western society in general)

Oh, that's right. I haven't used any facts. Thank you for your intense commitment to honesty. And please keep insulting me personally so I won't feel the need to do it back. It really helps your arguments.

We give more in foreign aid than any other country. If you want to dispute that, I will go fetch a bunch of very credible links on that. Almanacs, encycllpedias, and many other sources will help you understand that it is a fact.

You did just mention the extremist agenda, which is the big problem. I know that Islamofascists love Usama Bin Laden. People who have such potential and have the potential of dying in the name of his sick mentality against the creation and preservation of democracy and other understandable things need to be sucked out of the woodwork and killed. I am glad we are doing that. The factor you mention is small compared to the many factors I am mentioning. It's not like wonderful, warm, fuzzy people in the Middle East said, "La la la, I'm so happy, and life is so terrific! I think I will go out and be good all day. Oh no! The United States is spreading that freedom stuff again! I think I will go blow up a mall full of innocents!" The people we are killing who would not have done shit if we had not invaded are people who had it in them to do terrorist stuff without justification. They could have easily found some other excuse later. We want to lure that type of creature out and and kill them in gigantic numbers. It is working, and it is worth it, especially considering all of the other enormous reasons we invaded.
