    Re: Break Out the Cristal (trickle-down economics explained with champagne!) —David Koudys
   (...) Again, I would say that a *country* is on an even playfield with any other country where international relations is concerned. One country imposing itself on another sovereign country because they feel they're 'better' is unjust. What goes on (...) (21 years ago, 26-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Break Out the Cristal (trickle-down economics explained with champagne!) —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Left in because I'm still hoping for a yes/no answer. Just a "yes" or "no" without any qualification or equivocation. (...) Why? If we postulate a yes to the question above, then why should the DPRK be on "on an even playfield with any other (...) (21 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Break Out the Cristal (trickle-down economics explained with champagne!) —David Koudys
     (...) And yet you deleted all the stuff where I disprove this question--it's one of your very own straw men. How can you ask, "Is this superior to that" without qualifications? Canada's geographically bigger than the USA therefore we're superior. Is (...) (21 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Break Out the Cristal (trickle-down economics explained with champagne!) —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) You're dodging. You say you reject the notion of moral relativism, right? I'm not talking about EQ characters or size. I'm talking about the metrics we already discussed... morally: which one is on the side of right more often? In which (...) (21 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

A discussion of quantitative measures of international superiority... this is something I have to participate in! (...) 'More often'? Can you expect to compare morality (...)

         Re: Break Out the Cristal (trickle-down economics explained with champagne!) —John Neal
     (...) Now might be a good time for you to step back and see where your arguing is taking you, because you have wittingly or no become a useful idiot for some of the most violent and repressive dictators and their regimes the earth has known.

         Re: Break Out the Cristal (trickle-down economics explained with champagne!) —Richard Marchetti
     (...) Fine. Their problem to deal with, just as King George was ours. Why should freedom be free for them? Why should freedom be bestowed as a gift rather than taken by revolution? CAN it be bestowed as a gift? Me? I mind my own business. -- (...) (21 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Break Out the Cristal (trickle-down economics explained with champagne!) —John Neal
     (...) Did we deal with that problem *alone*? (...) Good question. At least the *opportunity* can be given. Why storm the beaches at Normandy in WWII? (...) "Who is my neighbor?" JOHN (21 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Break Out the Cristal (trickle-down economics explained with champagne!) —Richard Marchetti
     Colonial America and the French during WW II were both actively resisting their oppressors. I don's see this in modern day Iraq. Plus, our entrance into WW II was prompted by the agressive acts of two aggressor nations: Germany and Japan. Japan (...) (21 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Break Out the Cristal (trickle-down economics explained with champagne!) —John Neal
     (...) What if the population is being so wickedly repressed (speak out against me and I'll kill your *entire* family in front of you) that they are afraid to resist? (...) You missed my reference. A man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal (...) (21 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Break Out the Cristal (trickle-down economics explained with champagne!) —Richard Marchetti
     (...) Basically, I don't care. Still their problem and not mine. I would suggest that they have nothing to live for and might as well risk revolution. I suppose you're going to tell me we should send american boys over there to fight and die for (...) (21 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Break Out the Cristal —Scott Arthur
    (...) Indeed. But there is enough Scottish blood in Canada to make it almost perfect. ;) (...) ...and how much of your "top quarter" supported a 2nd resolution? How much supports the current illegal conflict in Iraq? (...) Indeed, and it was those (...) (21 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
