They had their own agenda for being there. The situation in Russia at the time was a good deal more complicated than your simplistic world view can deal with. So don't be too impressed.

You're thinking like your cross-eyed f****it president - "If you ain't with us, you're agin' us!"...

My world is coloured in shades of grey, not black and white. I don't support you, *nor* do I defend so-called "Islamo-facists" either.

As for your respect, that's the last thing I want. You're deludung yourself badly if you think that's something I'd value.

It doesn't work. It steals from the producers carrying more than their share, and gives part of it to the slugs carrying less than their share. Meanwhile, the rest of the spoils is taken by the leadership so they can live like royalty. But what's worse, one of it's major goals is to spread this form of gevernment all over the world by force or any other means, just like the facists and the Muslims want to do.

In the communist countries, people start to learn to do less and less, as they do here when garrenteed a lifetime job. Even heard of that Russian saying .."the government pretends to pay us, and we pretend to work".

And this differs from the US wanting to spread "democracy" how?

The difference is that democracy, or actually a constitutional republic, like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan have is far superior, resulting in much more freedom and prosperity for all who want it, as if you didn't know.

BTW, I forgot to tell you, we've got 6 Zebra finches, amoung other pets. Cute little fellows. They're from Australia, a few generations back. They average about 2-3 eggs a week, in spurts. Got a pair about 3 years ago. A month or so later we had 7, Then a year later one died. We'd have a 100 by now if we didn't take the eggs out and squish the them right away.

The same is true of Capitalism.

You really do see the world in an extremely limited manner. Do you consider "services" production or wastage?

But you're in favour of that!!! You've imposed that on numerous nations around the world - Iraq is an excellent example.

That's what the US does with it's form of government, a system that barely works in your nation rich with natural resources, let alone those of us who live in nations poor in resources.

The USSR wasn't communist.

The US doesn't spread "democracy", they spread repression and corruption dressed as democracy. Iraq is an example.

New Zealand is _not_ a 'constitutional republic'. We are however in the top three nations for freedom and lack of corruption - well ahead of the USa, which if I remember correctly is in about 23rd place. I think it was Norway ahead of us.

Fair dinkum Wayne, you're an ignorant fucken' idiot!

Neither Australia or New Zealand are a "constitutional republic", whatever that may be. Both countries are in fact constitutional monarchies - our head of state is Queen Elizabeth II of England.

Europe is a geographical region, not a country. The *European Union* is made up of the various European member states, and is also not a "constitutional republic", nor are all the states that make up the EU republics.

I suppose you think posting stupid nonsense like this makes you look clever, but in reality it just highlights what a f****it you are..

Get the dirty water off your chest. You know you want to.

I'll have to correct you there Mark, in each case Queen Elizabeth II is in fact seperately 'Queen Elizabeth (II) of New Zealand' and 'Queen Elizabeth (II) of Australia' in addition to being 'Queen Elizabeth II of England ...'

Shouldn't that be 'Queen Elizabeth (I) of New Zeeland' and 'Queen Elizabeth (I) of Australia' and 'Queen Elizabeth (II) of England since at the time of Elizabeth Tudor there were no dominions? (Just like Elizabeth Tudor's successor was 'King James (I) of England' and 'King James (VI) of Scotland??

Merely curious...

You're absolutely right, which is why I put the (II) in brackets. New Zealand stopped being a Dominion in 1948 and became a Nation in it's own right, but by then we had got into the habit of counting Monarchs in the British fashion.

Yeah, yeah. The old girl ought to be Queen of England only, and

*NOWHERE* else - least of all Australia. So much for the idea that we're an independent nation. We have plenty of our own queens who could do the job...

We both (countries) need a better system, but electing a GWBush certainly isn't it.

Yeah yeah, I know, your under the Queen, with aparliment and Prime minister. It's still basically a democracy, and I believe the lack of corrpution stats, given that hardly a week goes by here without a state or national elected official doesn't get in trouble for something underhanded. And our justice system is a joke too, as is our medical system.

I know. When I grow up I hope to be as cultured and well spoken as you.

So you have no problem bending knee and acknowledging the authority of this Titled Nobility, who claims that GOD selected her to own and rule everything in her realm, by DIVINE RIGHT? And I'm an idiot?

Wake me when you're done Mr. 5th grade geography teacher.

2nd time..................what's the meaniing of "dirty water"? I've never heard that before before you uttered it.

Would you two listen to your selves? How much time does she spend in Australia or New Zealand, a day every 10 years? Where's the value added? How much of your tax money goes in her personal purse? When's she going to let the Scots and Irish have their land and sovereignty back? She's a raving religious looney and you people are stupid enough to fall for it.
