No, you and I do NOT agree on much. Stating things is the way we interpret what we see and perceive. Yes it is very different indeed. That, does NOT make us to have much in common, in spite of your saying so.
I am not sure why your thinking process is like that... Perhaps it is the way you WISH things would be as opposed to what facts are.
Your opinion of your Noble laureate is based on intentions and interpretations of such intentions, yet the practical results can be (and are) very different.
Your statement about Tobin's intentions being a mere tool and not a political weapon reminds me of the same lame argument that "speed kills" NO, speed on ots own does NOT kill. people who do NOT know how to drive, (or do so intoxicated is what kills) --same with guns btw. Guns do NOT kill people, people who use guns in a criminal way are the killers.
The fact that you ASSUME (in your mind) that your arguments "hold" is just that an assumption and it is not a fact.
If the world continues to change at the pace it is changing such international cooperation as envisaged by the Tobin proposal will be the rule in 20 years not the exception. You don't want to believe that fine. But I think you are fighting a losing cause. (That does not mean I applaud internationalization, just that I think it is inevitable.)
That is a defeatist hogwash attitude. You may choose to have it and that is fine by me, but I do NOT agree with such. The same idiotic argument was said about Communism and now it has disappeared, everyone is embracing free enterprise.
In time, the clear advantages of individualism will be realized. Slowly the bloated government and bureaucracies will be reduced to smaller units to really serve the people. But it will come at a price and only the ones willing to pay the price will achieve the rewards of embracing free enterprise as opposed to paternalism from governments. In time.
Why dont we look at cities outside obvious war zones. Most of the middle east and its people are rational and not particularly war like. The region is generally safe. They don't have a history of intermitent periods of self inflicted blood letting. Much of South America does.
I can see your delusion getting worse....
Why eliminate the war zones cities? That is precisely the point. We do NOT have "war zone cities” in LatAm... LOL
Of course if you make the exception of all Middle Easterners, I am sure the region is quite peaceful ROFLOL
Only the people are who make war... not the empty geography.
If the people in the Middle East were ANYWHERE NEAR as reasonable as you portray them to be... they would have stopped fighting many thousands of years ago... To this day they continue to sound like a damned broken record with the same old tired and stupid argument.
Wake up !
I for one I am tired of their CLEAR STUPIDITY, they are worse than 2 year olds (and much worse as they continue to kill each other and more... kill innocent people)
Don't you "GET IT" ?
I do not care what F*ing argument there is, I have even LOST interest in attempting to understand these a**holes that they just want to fight and bomb each other...
As far as I am concerned (and I am sure I am not alone on this)... I will support Israel for them to completely exterminate all the PLO cockaroaches until they stop their terrorism. It seems that the PLO only language they are capable to understand is violence... So, they leave no choice for the Israelis... My sugestionto the Israelis, is just get a bigger goddam hammer and wack the wackos. (if that includes Saddham Hussein, more power to the Israelis)
Enough is enough ! and NO, it is NOT racism, actually is more like self-defense, before these bastards repeat another 9-11 event.
So.. F*ck'em and F*ck'em good.
You keep addressing South America (I assume you mean Latin America), as "self inflicted blood letting” yet have not given me an example (historical or current)...
Your mere statement does not become fact.
You do not have to run around searching for proofs... I am mostly interested in the present and I am not aware of any war zone in Latin America, nor any suicidal bombers from the same region, yet in Jerusalem (and similar) almost daily we can read about some moron blowing himself to bits taking innocent people.
You won't accept clear evidence and insist on your delusions... well, there is nothing I can do about that. Happy dreaming.
Perhaps this delusional attitude is the only mechanism you have in order to survive a place like the Middle East, assuming that is where you come from.
I am beginning to be convinced that you hold some post in the UN... LOL Your thinking does not cut the mustard for me, you sound like if I were addressing some bureaucrat at city hall.
LOL
Have a nice day. |
