Dollar loses reserve status to yen & euro

Uninteresting.. This is just getting boring again.. You have no sense of reality, and when somebody elses opinion contradicts your own, you just pull ****ty cards and run out of the building without answering anything.

The problems with opinions are that everyone has one, yada yada yada.

Do you have any sources that back up this statement?

Capitalist success brings definete decline, because the will to work, the will for effort, the will for improvement dries out in an orgie of pleasures, speculation, and schemes.

Well?
 
Then provide me with some examples, instead of generically stating "reality".

Do you follow current events at all?

Example.. Financial crisis. Example commodity prices. Example food crisis last year..

Thats just a few HUGE example.. But just like businesses the majority is small and medium sized as oppose to huge.

Again, you are far off the mark.

If i say i live 1 mile from the library, there is going to be a very strong set of facts that will back up my statement. Therefore we can derive truth from the statement based on the facts.

Now, if i were to say "living by the library increases ones literacy", i am going to have to prove that based on a set of facts. Does the fact that my distance from the library is 1 mile equate to it increasing my literacy?

All you have provided was the fact that there was a financial crisis, commodity volatility, and a food crisis. You have done nothing to prove your point.
 
We, the capialists of the west, raped and robbed the African continent.

Its the most capialist history ever.
Certainly capitalism is to blame for African missery...

But you are right. It will not solve their problem..

Thomas Sankara was solving their problems, yet he was killed(probably by the capialist French)...

I'm going to respond like you respond to posts. Just one assertion after the other without so much of an argument, let stand sources or proof. Maybe you'll learn how annoying that is. Here goes:

We, the capialists of the west, raped and robbed the African continent.
No, that's your extremely flawed personal opinion. Besides, there is no we.

Its the most capialist history ever.
Nah, it's the third less capialist history ever...

But you are right. It will not solve their problem..
Those who are not part of the solution...

Thomas Sankara was solving their problems, yet he was killed(probably by the capialist French)...
Pim Fortuyn was solving their biggest problem, yet he was cowardly murdered by a left wing radical.

What? Are you joking me? Ever heard of European colonial rule in Africa?

European? One swallow doesn't make a summer my friend. Besides, europeans didn't discover imperialism. It's not like Africans never conquered other peoples countries and robbed them of their resources. The fact that "the West" was more succesful at it in a particular era, doesn't give others the moral high ground.

Same with your baseless remarks about capitalism. You act like communists never robbed anyone while in fact you can see the difference in Europe. The eastern part was robbed by the soviets, the western part got rebuild with american aid.

Colonialism is ultimate capitalism.

What? Eastern part was robbed by soviet? Where did you learn that? The eastern part was indoctrinated by soviet, attempted so, just like the western part was indoctrinated by the US, attempted so.

Why do you believe that Soviet robbed the east more than the US robbed the west? What is your reason for believing that, think hard about that my man. :peace

I had a long hard think and my answer is documentation.

The Soviets took a punitive approach, looked forward to delaying rather than accelerating economic rehabilitation, demanded unconditional fulfillment of all prior reparation claims and wanted progress toward nationwide socioeconomic transformation

If you say so.



Are you trying to imitate Navy Pride?



I'm a partisan hack....by considering both parties bad for the same practices while you consider only one party bad for the same practices?

How does that work?

Can you define "Hypocrite" for me?

These are not responses. Well, not responses of any substance, anyway.

I made one critical comment of Obama in this thread. True, I said it twice, but it was the same comment. I provided you with a link to one critical comment of Bush in the same vein. (And hello, Mr. Anti-Stupid; who was in charge in 2006 to do the spending? Who else could I have been talking about? :doh)

Yet, you took that as evidence that I blame Obama for everything and Bush for nothing. You even said it means I think this:

Democrat = Evil Incarnate
Republican = Can Do No Wrong

So yes . . . hackery. Yours. :roll:

Considering how you posted, you would know.

One must wonder if you even read what you linked.

So bashing Obama by name, but merely saying spending is obscene when Dubya is the same?

Yet, you took that as evidence that I blame Obama for everything and Bush for nothing.

To repeat:

So bashing Obama by name repetitively, but merely saying spending is obscene when Dubya is the same? Interesting how you cite specific policies of just Obama, but ignore how they existed in the same form under Dubya.

So yes . . . hackery. Yours. :roll:

Apparently you don't understand sarcasm.

How am I a hack...when I treat them the same, but you are not despite your own statements showing you don't treat them the same?

Hang out with Mr. V too much eh? :rofl

You know, the more you twist and turn and, yes, move the goalposts, to say I was hypocritical here (especially now claiming to be "sarcastic" in one of the more stupid things you said), the more ridiculous you look, so by all means, keep it up. :2wave:
 
What's more, oC, going back through your posts since you've appointed yourself the DP Konsistency Kop, I can't help but notice the nightstick really only comes down on one side of the spectrum. Maybe if you beat yourself on the head with it a few times, you might find a bit of inconsistency among the more Lefty posters, too. You asked above if I know what "hypocrisy" means? Hmmm.

No point debating with you.. You dont debate the point, you debate to disagree and often the debate itself or the person, as oppose to having any intellectual opinion about anything..

Facts dont exist btw. Just theories, from weak to almost certain. 1 + 1 = 2 is not a fact, just a human mathemetical theory, because mathemathics itself like time is just a human explanation of things, and non existing in itself.
