    Looking at the thread I see that she no longer supports the Republicans.

    Oh well, personally I'm more cynical than that now. I've lost trust in all political parties now. Makes it difficult to figure out who to vote for. I was considering turning up to vote, taking a look at the ballot paper and just vote for some nobody that I hadn't even heard of before. I'm probably not going to be home on voting day now anyway so I won't need to worry about it.

    I just like pushing buttons and if that means stepping on republican and democrat toes, so be it.

    Dumb may be a harsh word actually. More like mass indoctrination in something that is a complete cancer to society.

    Sounds like a good party to me. Besides, I thought political parties are just an excuse to accept legal bribes (in the forum of 'campaign contributions').

    I'm sure. Doesn't look like they've done anything all that important since the 18th century.

      Of course they don't. I was too busy with a real job and a real life stand around in a park and/or on a street corner all day. Besides, the big government (which they wanted to fix all the problems) is much of the reason we're in this mess to begin with.

        With Switzerland playing the neutral card there was no point. No point in using time and resources to invade somewhere that you don't need to.

        In saying that Hitler didn't even try for Britain in the end. Too cocky and decided to take on Russia instead.

            I'm only being half serious. There's a guy I work with, whose from Arkansas, so I always make sure to mention marrying your cousins is common in Arkansas, when he's in earshot.

                Absolutely true. Wrong laws on companies. They should have laws that mean they don't mess it up for all the people.

                However lets remember who funds the big governments plans when they are in office. It's because of those banks that western governments borrow money in the first place and get themselves into debt.

                  I've read he wanted to invade them, but was worried about fighting them (the Swiss actually have a pretty decent military).

                    I remember reading some of his posts, but I think they were mostly older threads by then. I think you either joined a little before, or a little after I did.

                      Yes, I used to post here quite a lot for a few years a while back. Gutted my old account has been lost but Nick told me that everybody lost their accounts. I'm pretty sure I had a few thousand posts under that account too.

                              "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C.S.
