Occupy Wall Street protest

[Yvonne183]

Yvonne, I only started reading this thread today and don't have an interest in Canadian folk music even though I know a Canadian who plays it; I just commented on what interested me, and I wasn't criticising your views and did make the point that I myself have been subject to abuse in this country because of some confusion over my assumed origins.
The Insurgency in Malaya was over by the time the US began its operations in Vietnam, and the record of British imperialism in parts of America, Africa, and Asia is mixed, on the one hand there are cases of many atrocities, on the other hand there is a different, more positive perspective on Empire but to explain it would take a long time and it is not germane to this thread. And, as you point out, sometimes the US and the UK have been in nasty situations together.

Silc, I haven't read the whole thread, mea culpa.

British SAS were running missions into Indonesia from Malaysia in 1965. They had air support when they got into a jam. The Vietnam war was well into it by 1965. Anyway, what difference does it make if the exact dates don't match, the brits did this the same thing as we did in Vietnam.My point is the Brits are exactly the same as the US, we are not different in any way.

Yvonne - sorry if you feel we hate Americans. It isn't so. Sorry to see you aligning yourself with the more virulent right wingers here. I am sure that isn't your natural home either and a position you're taking for the sake of this argument.
I regret to advise you that i will continue to post critical remarks about the penetration of the GOP by ignorance and viciousness. it is too important for us all not to remark upon. The USA is too powerful to fall into the hands of the ultra right. It will affect us all. Look at the mess our MUTUAL interference in iraq has left for the whole Middle east. Thanks to Bush and Blair.

Feel free to offer your insights on the horrible nature of the british Conservative party. They're a bunch of vile folk too.

Stay well. I'm logging out now.

I agree, it's good people are starting to let the complaints be known at the places that aided the problems, millions of Americans are straddling the poverty lines many without jobs or living pay check to pay check and with even just one unexpected expense can send a family under, one of the last and probably the hardest fight that will have to take place is getting the majority of the population from allowing religion to alter the way politics works, that way we can have more sensible moderates/independents who aren't bond by religion to sway one way or another like many republicans or forced to be anti republicans like a lot of democrats, for to long the people have been forced to pick the lesser of two evils each election year. Hopefully common sense and truth/honesty can be brought back to politics, and in doing so here can help fix a lot of the problems that go on in this world

We've gotten a little off track here- though I doubt the protesters are any more focused. Here's a pic to help:

You have been here long enough to know how OMK exactly operates. I don't think he is even worth replying to anymore just a waste of time really.

Excellent advice, Silcc. Which I will follow. When someone has an agenda which is not only transparent but also threadbare, there's no point.

LMAO...So now we have a race baiter and a master baiter ganging up on me . The HA version of ebony and ivory, or fric and frack lmao...I don't think I can stand it really. Both you sweethearts like to dish the bullshit but both of you are light in the ass, and light on your facts. You both are chronic accusers, but get all prickly and defensive when you're confronted. If you're man enough to play the race card, be man enough to take the heat...it's that serious. Here's the deal of the day for both you losers...

Yes, the sad thing is that he obviously operates under the delusion that anybody actually cares about what he says. Poor lamb.

Ya, come on OMK you don't think like they do so you are:
A: A Racist
B: Stupid
C: A rich elitist, and just trying to oppress people
D: From North Dakota
E: Too busy loading your guns to have a valid opinion

The list goes on and on.. but we all know if you think differently you are all of the above.
