The W4O Parliament Options

[Channler]

Welcome to the Waiting4Oblivion Parliament!

You may ask why I gave this topic such a a name, and the answer is very simple.

Have you ever seen them Asians in their Parliament? Absolutely hysterical.

And I believe we here at W4O can successfully do better.

But on a more serious note.

---

Rules

1. Very simple, follow all W4O rules and orders, respect the moderators and administraitors, respect the members of W4O, and respect yourself.

2. Absolutely No Flaming One for Their Beliefs. Just because you do not concur with them doesn't require you to be disrespectful.

3. To keep this as neat and orderly as possible, please quote the statement you are arguing against or for. Please do not let quotes pyramid.

4. Please make posts relevent to the present topic. You can take breaks at the coffee shop across the street to ramble on.

Lets make this as enjoyable and civil as possible, thanks.

Ok, the first topic I would like to present would be one that has been highly debated, praised, torn apart, lied about, un-fairly portrayed, and in the end a very important subject.

Topic -- The Iraqi War and It's Aftermath.

First off let me say that I support the war, and I support what G.W. did. What I don't think is right is the fact to convince (Some) of the American people to support the war, that highly un-reliable information was used. Personally I think that it was the CIA's fault, but I do believe that President Bush should have apologized about the faulty information. However, he should have also stated that for the good of the Iraqi people. we were to finish the work from Desert Storm and get rid of the evil dictator.

What do you think?

That's in the flawed form of socialism. This flawed form is the one we usually see because revolutionaries use violence, and use any means necessary, which corrupts their ends. Any power corrupts, give someone too much power and they will do anything necessary to keep it.

That's why a socialism where the government controls everything is not perfect. In my opinion, only a government that changes is a perfect one. Human nature simply does not fit into a system where the government has too much power.

I favor a system where there is a tweaked for of republic for the government, and socialism for the economy. Another problem with socialism is once everyone's basic needs are met, there is no supply and demand, and therefore the government feels no motive to expand on that technology.

I'm more in favor of a regulated capitalism. The government would technically own all businesses, but they'd be managed by people, and therefore all people in this country would get what they give. Just ebcause they managed a business does not mean they could reap from the rewards, it'd be a regular working job like any other.

Freedom of trade without barbie dolls making little girls depressed, mcdonalds serving bad meat, pharmacuticals making drugs that make people more sick or corporations exploiting workers. No more Oil companies paying off car companies not to make alternate-energy vehicles. No more corporations lobbying in congress that would pass bills that in the end up harming the people so they can put more money in their pockets.
