'African American' has to be the stupidest label to date (after a string of stupid labels). At what point do they become 'actual' Americans? After about 400 years, at what point does one stop being 'African'? Do these illiterate Americans even know that Africa is a massive continent, made up of man...

The one I'm in favor of is "how about everyone stop thinking about anything in terms of race"? I'll go with that. Wow! Two in a row I agree with. I'd only add, stop identifying anyone in terms of any collective--race, ethnicity, nationality, or whatever characteristics they are born with or who the...

'Except' the truth? Is that really what the little inspirational meme writer intended to say? Probably yes. It depends how the 'meme' is interpreted. To me personally, it is saying...( stop wasting time on other peoples truths, except your own ) Although, it could be seen to be misleading, as the w...

Co founder of ''Black lives matter'' is a true 'woke progressive' of the highest order. She doesn't care about 'colour' at all, which is why she has just bought four high end properties in predominantly 'white' neighbourhoods. I am sure that all the wokies who have donated a hundred million dollars ...

All you need to get through life... Thank you, thank you 'Dr. Steve M....' whoever you are...

...countries like Norway, Canada, New Zealand etc? I can see a huge difference. Russia, China, Venezuela, etc. are Socialist. Canada, Norway, New Zealand, etc. are capitalist. Norway runs on its abundant oil supplies, sold on the free market, or it would not be able to sustain its social programs f...

Venezuela, Cuba This shit has got to stop. Both Venezuela and Cuba are socialist success stories. They were as good as they could be in the face of massive US interference and frankly are still doing better than America would have done with them if they'd been colonized. Venezuela only turned sour ...

North Korea is Socialist. It's a totalitarian dictatorship. A Socialist State, turned Socialist dictatorship...like Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Albania, Romania... And you can't see any difference between countries like those, and countries like Norway, Canada, New Zealand...

So where do you live then? North Korea? Afghanistan? North Korea is Socialist. It's a totalitarian dictatorship. I do realise that you have caught the idiocrity bug that originated in the US, whereby everything is either 'commie' or 'other', but the world is actually a whole lot more complex than t...

But empirically, no version that has ever been tried so far in the real world, when allowed to run the economy and organize the political structure, has ever resulted in anything other than economic collapse, tyranny and murder, sot they've got that in common, too. So presumably you are including y...

Ever heard someone being called a 'racist' for criticising islam and its horrible customs?

Yes, all the time.

Exactly.

100 million dead is a low estimate, involving not even all of the known cases . It's the BEST it gets. :shock: It's almost certainly true that Socialism killed far more in the last century. We don't know precisely how many more, but more. Define 'socialism' you yank dipshit. Henry Quirk, Yank Dipsh...
