Yeah, tall guy with mustashe?

The guy who was saying that biggest enemy are the Soviets and communism is evil. While Churchill was getting on the radio, saying that we need to allie with the Russians.

I have a great deal of respect for Churchill.

Hey Don, is that a Kosovo flag you have as an Avatar?

 

[Slagathor]

Every great victorious leader had to make some sort of sacrifice.

Churchill rules. For his realism alone he earns the statues and streets named after him. One of his quotes I love in particular:

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for everything else we have tried"

Brilliance!

Well you have to believe that there is no such thing as a soul and that character is controlled by genes.

Genes come at birth - if genes cause evilness - evilness comes at birth.

Voilà. Doesn't take a rocket scientist.

Which is good cause I'm not that smart

I do believe there is such a thing as a soul however

I believe that everything cannot be explained by a balance of chemicals and that things just happen by themselves but thats just me

And the reason I say that is because Stalin wasnt an evil man for the sake of evilness and hardcore sadism. He was paranoid and psychoanalysts who have researched his actions and decisions claim that he suffered from a psychological disorder similar to what Hitler and Saddam experienced.

So basically what im saying is that evilness isnt nature its nurture. It was cultivated by his surroundings.

i was thinking about this for a while and i came to the conclusion that all this things happen coz people do not have enough money. if everybody had enough money to have a decent life then no problems like this would happen.

tell me why 7% of the population has to have 50% of all the money?

 

[Vicky]

well it's impossible for everyone to have enough money and we have to learn to deal with it ... you have no idea how greedy people are

Exactly my words.

I have seen the Biographies of this 3 guys....and the hav one thing in common............ their families were a crap.

Hussein killed his first person at the age of 12...more or less at the age of 10 he received his first gun by the hands of his uncle. He was condemnet even before his birth. His mother knocked his belly against the wall because she didnt wanted to have hussein. what do you think she can teahc to him?

Capitalism.

I would kick their arses but I'm dependent on these people as I live on a government subsidy (no jobs over here).

Do not have enough money? How much money is enough?

$50,000 a year?
$120,000 a year?
$400,000 a year?

There is never enough. The more you make, the more you want to make.

greed - money - power - evil.

I don't have a lot of time for Churchill:

The sense of envelopment, which might at any moment turn to strangulation, lay heavy upon us. We had only the northwestern approach between Ulster and Scotland through which to bring in the means of life and to send out the forces of war. Owing to the action of Mr. de Valera, so much at variance with the temper and instinct of thousands of southern Irishmen, who hastened to the battlefront to prove their ancient valor, the approaches which the southern Irish ports and airfields could so easily have guarded were closed by the hostile aircraft and U-boats.

This was indeed a deadly moment in our life, and if it had not been for the loyalty and friendship of Northern Ireland we should have been forced to come to close quarters with Mr. de Valera or perish forever from the earth. However, with a restraint and poise to which, I say, history will find few parallels, we never laid a violent hand upon them, which at times would have been quite easy and quite natural, and left the de Valera Government to frolic with the German and later with the Japanese representatives to their heart's content.

Churchill was a master speachmaker, but De Valera was pretty adept at that too.

Certain newspapers have been very persistent in looking for my answer to Mr. Churchill's recent broadcast. I know the kind of answer I am expected to make. I know the answer that first springs to the lips of every man of Irish blood who heard or read that speech, no matter in what circumstances or in what part of the world he found himself.

I know the reply I would have given a quarter of a century ago. But I have deliberately decided that that is not the reply I shall make tonight. I shall strive not to be guilty of adding any fuel to the flames of hatred and passion which, if continued to be fed, promise to burn up whatever is left by the war of decent human feeling in Europe.

Allowances can be made for Mr. Churchill's statement, however unworthy, in the first flush of his victory. No such excuse could be found for me in this quieter atmosphere. There are, however some things which it is my duty to say, some things which it is essential to say. I shall try to say them as dispassionately as I can.

Mr. Churchill makes it clear that, in certain circumstances, he would have violated our neutrality and that he would justify his action by Britain's necessity. It seems strange to me that Mr. Churchill does not see that this, if accepted, would mean Britain's necessity would become a moral code and that when this necessity became sufficiently great, other people's rights were not to count.

De Valera rocks! :thumb:
