no but is that ur ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

no but is that ur business? putin doesnt control all the press. go watch the election speech on the night dmitry medevedev was elected and the chants for putin. go watch the russian military parades when putin was in power. every international network concedes that putin IS popular. if ur gonna believe every single word a putin critic like kasparov says ur just as bad as bush.

yes, i defend russian actions in georgia. however, they did went a little too far and got a bit too aggressive. First it was georgia who fired at the russian helicopters and went into the s.ostessia province. NOT RUSSIA. Russia was simply defending their ppl living in that province thats all. I like Bill Maher and i hate bush. However, its criticisms against russia that have u play into the hands of the neo conservatives.

mattedhairwitch's kook fringe lefty approach is DO NOTHING and DESTROY the AMERICAN ECONOMY and THUS AMERICA.
That's what they're after.
That's why these hard core kook fringe leftist idiots oppose doing anything about increasing domestic oil production.

Array ( 1 week ago by guitarsquiddy)

Excuse me.
Should there be a new cold war or should russia expand their borders that is my business, because it might get me killed.
I do agree, that russia is not the only one, who missbehaved, but if a province suddenly declares independence, what do you expect Tiflis to do?
And even to the independent media, two dead reporters and one dead author are one strong signal.
Besides, beinh a central european liberal student, I hav reeeeeally much in common with Bush.

averageworkinggal
What do you expect the russians and arabs to say?
"The oil is basically all we have to live off, so take more of it for less money, because we love you so much for what you did to us"?
Independence from oil is the answer to a lot of our problems.

Thank you for ... ( 1 week ago by mattlevitch)

Thank you for continuing to prove my point that you have nothing of substance to contribute. Your responses sound they're generated from machine with some sort of electrical malfunction. I have had bowel movements with better cognitive function and debating skills than what you've demonstrated.

I wasnt referring ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

I wasnt referring to the fact that u had a lot in common with Bush. I'm saying that u play into the hands of his ppl when u start saber rattling against other country. Unless u live in Georgia or Russia, then it is ur business. Even Maher admits, half of Americans (not implying u) cant find Georgia on the map. Why is it any of our business what happens to them? And how do u know a cold war will start again? Just cuz Russia defends itself doesnt mean war.

Lastly, Putin is a ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

Lastly, Putin is a popular man in Russia period. I dont deny he is crushing opposition. Democracy cannot be built by the barrel of a gun. What Maher n Kasparov dont get is that liberal democracy is not for every nation. Some nations r just not suitable for these types of governance. Iraq as an example. Instead of ridiculing them, we should be more accepting and try to understand things from their end. Its ignorant of us to instill western values upon a society that is not accepting of them.

Forget debating him ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

Forget debating him man. The guy lost all credibility when he quoted a dumbass like Sarah Palin. Yes! Its the democrats that caused this recession with their fiscal responsibility and pay go in contrast with Bush and the tax cuts for the rich along with the $10 billion a week war in iraq.

HAHAHA....he is ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

HAHAHA....he is just echoing the arguments of fox news. Its ironic cuz the stuff republicans want to drill for is causing the hurricanes and disasters. If the environment isnt an important issue to him, then dont breathe. Its just air right lol? Its funny watching him associate himself with a bimbo like Palin whose foreign policy involves staring at Russia from her house. She couldnt tell u who the new president of russia is if u showed her a picture.

this kasparov said that Putin isnt really popular but actually is a mafia saddam hussein kind of guy....I guess he misses the good ol democracy of the 90s......i wonder how much america pays this fucker

Hey, under Yeltsin, ... ( 1 week ago by guitarsquiddy)

Hey, under Yeltsin, at least there was a starting point.
And before you state absolutely unproven and ridiculous claims about some people not being ready for democracy, take a look, who in a country is not interested in democratic circumstances.
Who quoted Sarah Palin?
I missed that part.

u know what? some ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

u know what? some countries r not interested in democracy. start respecting that n maybe u'll see progress in achieving peace. it isnt a one size fits all t-shirt. Stop enforcing ur values on everybody. Ur being as bad as Bush if u do. If iraq isnt ready for democracy, so is Russia.

Different situation ... ( 1 week ago by guitarsquiddy)

Different situation.
In Iraq, there was always the danger of a civil war, which Hussein had held down with an iron hand.
But you must make a difference between the people of a country not being interested in democracy and the non democratic leaders not being interested in democracy.
I used to think like you, by the way. But then I took a look at the UN human rights charta. Inspiring stuff.
Maybe we should continue this debate by private message, we're occupying the entire comment section.

Yeah and if the ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

Yeah and if the iraqis wanted democracy, they would have overthrown saddam themselves. Maybe u should go back thinking that way. For democracy to be established, it is through small communities n groups of ppl banding together for change. Not by military force, sanctions or foreign interference. Believe me, the ppl r NOT interested. Go talk to some of them as ive done. Democracy is NOT in everyone's interest.

Democracy is a word ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

Democracy is a word to make us feel good about ourselves. Take public policy and u'll know its just a feel good word. What does it mean? Governance rarely changes even when a govt does because of incrementalism. Amnesty international and UN human rights nonsense. I respect the UN to prevent wars but to tell a non western country to westernize and start abiding by democracy or human rights is bullshit. What right do we have to interfere in another country's affairs? NONE.

Sorry for the long ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

Sorry for the long comments. But the UN human rights charter u mentioned only made u feel good. Have we accomplished everything? No. Will we ever? No. Realistically, ppl dont care 4 democracy. Its funny cuz the biggest human rights violator is the US not russia or china. We have to stop this nonsense of sanctioning and condemning countries 4 human rights violations or risk leading to more wars.

I agree, that the ... ( 1 week ago by guitarsquiddy)

I agree, that the US are a human rights violator, but bigger than China? Are you kidding me?
It's kind of hard to get people enthusiastic about overthrowing a dictator, who has been known to use poison gas against his own citizens. And I do agree, that democracy can not be imposed by military force, nor is it perfect. But in combination with a constitution that protects minorities and equal rights for everyone is, though not perfect, still the best opportunity we have.

That the change has ... ( 1 week ago by guitarsquiddy)

That the change has to come from within is obvious. But with a controlled press and poor education only delivering information the government OK'd, how do you expect opposition to grow the way it would with a free press.
And maybe you should ask the gay people or aposthesists in arab countries, wheather they would like a change in the system.
Again, I do not condone any acts of war, but as long as we are depending from oil, we will

Again, I do not ... ( 1 week ago by guitarsquiddy)

Again, I do not condone any acts of war, but as long as we are depending from oil, we will never be able to take economic measures. Economically speaking, the people who have the oil, got us by the short and curlies.
I agree, that the US Government is criminal and despicable, but so are the Ayatollahs, so was Saddam Hussein, so are the taliban, the chinese central committee, Ahmadinejad, the Knesset, the pope and Putin (and his ventriloquism puppet Medvedjev).

P.S.: You make a goot debate partner.
(My spelling of names might be inaccurate, because German spelling of non - Indo-European languages is somewhat different from the English spelling.)

As long as the Iraq ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

As long as the Iraq war continues, the US will be the biggest human rights violator now. Yes, i include Guantanamo. But they r also causing innocent civilians to die for a wrong war and cause. These iraqis also have no say in the ending of a war that affects them. Thats a worst violation of human rights.

Exactly. I have np ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

Exactly. I have np with democratic governance. But u can condemn and sanction countries until they go democratic. The opposition will have to find a way to breakthrough. Look at Cambodia and Iran after their revolutions. Bill Clinton once said democracy is not about elections but checks and balances, accountability, independent judiciary. If democracy was based on his definition which is correct, the US fails the test. How do they have the credibility to tell other nations to become democratic?

You are good at ... ( 1 week ago by mattlim76)

You are good at debating too and your comments are intelligent. No worries about the spelling :). International human rights is not the end all and be all tho. Amnesty international is for naive kids who think they can change the world when it is rly a scam agency that does nothing. Its more important for us to get our respective country in order b4 worrying about what some other govt does. Just be fortunate where we live in.
