Agreed, Robb, agreed.

I find it ironic that those claiming to be "liberals" want to put laws and regulations on everything and control everything. How about a little personal responsibility instead?
 
I hear they have it in parts of Europe. That's why their larpers can use latex weapons.

PS: Chazz, you are forever to be known as the Orcish Segue.
 
Whatever partial personal responsibility they have in Europe is completely offset by the fact that they also have France. So I contend that there must be another reason for their use of latex weapons. The only theory that I have heard that holds any weight is that there are in fact NO LARPS in Europe. What you see is actual French soldiers using actual French weapons in what is actually French boot camp.

I want to agree with you Chazz, but the French were the only other country to go in and kick Somali pirate *** and get their people out. All the other countries keep feeding them ransom money.

What has the world come to?

I find it ironic that none of the cartoons posted had anything to do with that issue, yet you still felt a need to comment on it.

Conservative republicans, of course, hate control and big government. Oh, except when it comes to choosing for yourself whether to have an abortion, who you can get married to, whether you can smoke marijuana in your own home, allowing the government to torture and suspend habeas corpus...

Basically, both parties want the government to decide things. The real issue is over those decisions, not the underlying principles.

i think the key to your comment was "Conservative republicans".

Both extreme fringes want the government to decide things.

I, a socially liberal, economically conservative republican want the government to butt the hell out and let me live my life without taxing me into oblivion because they feel the need to distribute my wealth elsewhere since my being skilled and earning my wages is not "fair". i don't care how many law degrees, doctorates, years of experience, or friends in high places some politician has. no one can live my life but me. it'd be nice if i could choose how i spend my money.

We tried that for awhile didn't work out so well, turns out that when it comes to profits theres an overwhelming willingness to abdicate any responsability to your fellow man.

Like mike said both sides want the government to put controls on things its just a matter of what they think needs controls.

Now the libretarians can prettty well claim to be anti-regulation of anykind but they are regarded as the whacko fringe for it just like the anti-corperate anarchists on the left.
 
I dunno Scott, I question how much "***" is available for kicking on a people who have spent nearly their enitre existance starving. Way to go France, 1st time you stand up for yourselves in forever and you do it by smacking around a group of guys that could say Kate Moss is a glutton. I'm not even gonna mention how Somalia's greatest technological innovations still doesn't include McDonalds. Or doorknobs.

Gotta give a shout out to WW2 though for all those nifty AK-47s (circa 1947) and RPGs the Somali's get to use to "pirate" the big seas. Thankfully after 60 years of development the French are now capable of defeating this level of military might.

Yeah, and the French suck too!
