Isn't that just the standard thought for kidnappings in the entire region? The majority of them go unreported, or are rationalized away. They should be treated as the international incidents which they are, rather then downplayed as the Brits are doing right now by holding back details.

Political up to the point to which economic solutions take the bull by the horns.

Iran says the Brits were in the wrong place, but the Brits, who have actual sattelites, say the Iranians were in the wrong place. I say they should let us build them a Walmart so they can get GPS devices for their soldiers for $14.99 each and we won't have problems like this anymore.

Yeah because money breeds pacifism and equality.

Kev; no matter how looney you think Geggy's original post was (and it could have said 'cow cow cow cow' or all I can tell now) replacing it AND continuing to discuss the situation in a thread he started actually does seem abussive to me.

My brother, who works for the Fed, has a theory: Sure, absolute power corrupts absolutely, but really small amounts of power corrupt pretty good too.

I guess it was a totally inane conspiracy theory that contributed nothing and you feel he proved that by not responding to your provocation. Fine. If you feel it's worth your time to pave it over, great. Make a similar effort and start a conversation you feel is more significant.

Isn't that what he did when he posted the article we're all now discussing? If Geggy's not sticking around to defend his posts then at some point he's just spamming the forum.

You are just being retarded. Now that I'm on your enemy list, discussing anything with or even around you is like arguing with a stop sign. Calm down, scrappy. The Dark Side's tightening it's grip on your frontal lobe. What you just said made no sense at all. Are the richest countries in the world the ones we're worried about right now? No. It's the poorest, most fucked up ones. You cannot have a free economy absent a foundation upon political and social freedoms.

Dear Max,

1. If Geggy actually posted "cow cow cow cow," I would adore him for it. It would be far more substantive than what he currently does.

2. I warned him to defend his posts-- I have had more than one person complain to me about Geggy posting some stupid article like a spambot, and then never defending his claims. I asked him a series of questions, and he ignored them. I'm treating him no differently than I would any other spamming whore.

3. The original article, the source of the conversation, is still there.

4. I am drunk with power.

5. Incase you didn't notice, we were having a conversation on the subject matter, but thanks for derailing it.

6. cow, cow, cow, cow.

That all depends on how you read the numbers, and how much you fear an attack from Samoa. A free economy doesn't equate wealth equality let alone social freedom. The foundation you're looking for has little to do with economical issues.
