RichyBlacK:

Quiz for you:
1. Name one atrocity that the state of Israel has ever committed? Just one o!

You are the one who has been crying "atrocities" since. kindly name one first.

Sorry? Please repeat that again. LMAO!

i'm a liberal, do u want me to explain my liberal stance on issues such as the legalization of weed, gay marriage, abortion and free trade??

Yes Turkey is really DEVELOPED.

so what's turkey, an underdeveloped country??

but sure enough, they will coming into line with EU standards soon enough.

spain is a member of the EU.

Why didn't you mention countries like Britain, France, Japan, Germany, Scandinavia etc?

they aren't the only developed countries that exist. u'd think someone with a master would know this.

Who fed you this lie?

are u trying to argue that universal healthcare has varying success in canada depending on region??

No I am not. Please show me the financial model that says Americans need to pay 50% tax to get social healthcare.

here are the tax rate of a few universal healtcare countries.

u see how people are complaining about the taxes are burdensome, u see how folks like beckham are running to the US?? why do u expect rich people to pay more when they already cover 85% of US tax revenue??

Yes - just like Yankee is tiny and Centralised enough to have social education (well at least up to High School level)

the United states isn't a central government, it's a confederation of states. each state can choose to have universal healthcare whether they want it or not. nigeria has a centralized system, the US doesn't.

And just like China was tiny enough to have social healthcare. What is your blooming point

lol what kind of social healthcare program just china have. i see u are pretty unenlightened for someone allegedly with a masters degree.

Just goes to show the gap between rich and poor in Yankee.

no it just shows rich people already bear the tax burden while most poor folks get numerous tax breaks and credit.

No it wasn't - I'm an Algorithm Engineer.

stick to algorithm and avoid discussions about politics.

lease don't bother replying. I have things to do.

No - a DEVELOPING country. Come to Europe and see how many Turkish economic migrants litter the streets then ask me again. Maybe Fox News tell you it is a developed country to make it seem as if you have a credible ally in the War against Iraq.

Yes - don't you understand English. I said they will come into line with the rest of the EU.

Yes, and so? Do we still not attract foreign investment? Is London not the 2nd biggest financial Centre after Wall Street? Are the Scandinavians not living better than anyone else except Oil Rich Gulf nations?

The rich cover 85% of taxes because they own 85% of the wealth. What is your point?

If you know anything about football, you will know that Beckham did not go to the US for tax reasons but for the humoungous pay packet they are offering which is potentially far and above any other player in the world.

Yes, it has been scrapped under the new regime - but didn't they have it under Mao? You are missing the point - the point is that if a big Country like China can organise it, then I am sure Yankee can as well.

As for Kobojunkie, I no go even answer you. At least Bamowolo get brain - as for you, I no go waste my breath.

No - a DEVELOPING country. Come to Europe and see how many Turkish economic migrants litter the streets then ask me again. Maybe Fox News tell you it is a developed country to make it seem as if you have a credible ally in the War against Iraq.

turkey is developed, it has a stronger economy than most central or eastern european countries. turkey may not be on par with western european countries though. why does an opposing view have to come from Fox news??

Do they have UNIVERSAL healthcare or not? Stop being pedantic.

they have universal healthcare with mixed results. rich provinces benefit from universal healthcare while the poor provinces with immigrants usually don't. universal healthcare isn't exactly universal.

Is London not the 2nd biggest financial Centre after Wall Street?

it is but this comes at a high cost most people are unwilling to bear. i prefer private healthcare programs over some massive universal healthcare program that could end up financially strained like social security.

The rich cover 85% of taxes because they own 85% of the wealth. What is your point?

how do u know they make 85%, and why can't a rich person be allowed to enjoy their money or inheritance. they worked for it, let them spend it. the government shouldn't dictate how much should be spent. the US isn't some socialist utopia.

If you know anything about football, you will know that Beckham did not go to the US for tax reasons but for the humoungous pay packet they are offering which is potentially far and above any other player in the world.

this is not true, if beckham only came here to play football, he won't have moved his whole family to the US. even his wife is working in the US. lots of british celebs have been smart to do this. paying 50%(60% in some cases) is plain excessive. this is just my opinion by the way. if they want to donate to charity like bill gate, so be it but do not force them to spend their money

the point is that if a big Country like China can organise it, then I am sure Yankee can as well.

bad example, china's cultural revolution was a failure, why should the US follow such template??

We are discussing Economics, not Politics. I minored in Economics so don't get slick.

i think u need a refund of your tuition.

Bamowolo - you are just starting to get pedantic now - anyway, call it how you see. Debate cannot be endless, so this is my last rebuttal - call it how you see it.

I ask you about China's healthcare, you start to talk about their cultural revolution. Did I ask you about forced collectivisation or any of their other communist agenda?

Next thing, you are telling me Turkey is a developed country - and using Eastern Europe to buttress your point.

Then you are talking about Canada's healthcare not being of the same standard throughout. Which countries is? Just because you don't have doesn't mean you should criticise those who do. Of course there are population pressures in migrant communities. It is the same with Britain, France and every other country with Universal HealthCare. You cannot get the same speed of service in London as you do in Shropshire, for example - but you do get served.

Now you are saying Beckham only brought his whole family for tax reasons. Abi, can't a man live with his family again? BTW, most British celebs go to UK to avoid Paparazzi and attention. Beckham cannot walk any UK street without being mobbed but many celebrities go incognito in LA. Also, he wants to build a career out there after football cos he has already conquered the UK market and he has many Hollywood friends. Trust me, if UK celebrities were going to LA to escape tax, there are many places in Europe where they can pay zero tax. From Jersey to Monaco, them boku.

No, the government shouldn't dictate how much rich people spend? Then who should? Should it be voluntary?

Don't worry, we are all going to stop paying tax completely. Let us see what happens to society then. We will all fly to the Cayman Islands and let these peasants kill themselves over the little crumbs that are left in the feudalistic states we leave behind. No problem.

. . . . . .And the saga continues!

you always talk in extremes, the US is a mixed economy and not extremist. most people would rather live in the US than Cuba(free education my ass). u'd think with all the "free education" geniuses in cuba, that they would have a solid economy rather than depending on subsidies from venezuela.

Castro himself is an atheist.Religious freedom is severely restricted. . . . .freedom of conscience only exists for atheists.Communists tend to see organised religion as a threat to the state.

And the saga and lies continue to roam, In the earlier times of Castro, religion was somewhat monitered. Today, Cuba boasts of over 16 different religions,with Roman Catholic being the most prominent one. I worshiped at a Pentecostal Church while living there, and never saw any one encountering any problems. The pope was even invited there before he died.

It is one thing to argue and state facts ( not the USA stories), but it gives a whole new meaning when we throw in propaganda mixed with our personal feelings, Just wrong,

Islander:

Not only is this factually wrong,its utterly meaningless.The state still monitors religious activities and religious freedom is restricted as has been variously noted here and here.

No where will you find the Catholic Church or any of the major Christian denominations in Cuba ever claiming that Cuba has religious freedom.The reverse has always been the case.

As Human Rights Watch put it:

Pope John Paul II's January 1998 visit to Cuba fostered hope that the government would ease its repressive tactics and allow greater religious freedom. [/b]The papal visit provided a unique opportunity for public demonstrations of faith in a country that had imposed tight restrictions on religious expression in 1960 and was officially atheist until 1992. Although Cuba refused visas to some foreign journalists and pressured some domestic critics during the visit, the pope's calls for freedom of religion, conscience, and expression created an unprecedented air of openness. [b]But while Cuba permits greater opportunities for religious expression than it did in past years, and has allowed several religious-run humanitarian groupsto operate, the government still maintains tight control on religious institutions, affiliated groups, and individual believers. On a positive note, in November 1998 Cuba approved visas for nineteen foreign priests to take up residence in Cuba.

http://www.hrw.org/reports/1999/cuba/Cuba996-01.htm

One immigrant's brief stay at the mercy of Castro seemingly overrides the experience of Cubans who have to live in that country for the rest of their lives.

and i hope mccain does not even iwin his partys nomination.dont laf, i believe in miracles.

Are you now a Cuban citizen? Castro pays school fees for some impecunious people to come and study and they start denying their status as immigrants.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Is my school fee, paid by the Great Fidel still causing you upset stomach? Dang, Tasha, get over it,

And again, my parents didn't travel to the UK to hack sugar cane, They stayed home and worked honest jobs, thank God,

Yea, I am a Naturalised citizen of Cuba,( or did the Missy forgot to feed that to you as well LOL, ? just like you are one of the UK bat,

Well,this mental illness has reached claiming citizenships of various countries. Coming over to hack sugar cane?Talk about irony Like I said,Cuban education sef. . . . .unless you are born in Cuba,how are you not an immigrant?Never mind the bare-faced lie about being a Cuban citizen.

I'd rather be diagnosed with having mental illness ANYDAY than to be GAY and hiding it, No way Jose, that's just wrong.

And you act as if you and I communicate ( well put aside those loney days and nights when you used to run to my YIM after your useless ass was dumped for The Great Prophet, When and where did I ever claimed citizenship?  YOu think I am like you. You have no past and NO future.  FYI I refuse to sell my birth-right. Thus I would forever remain 101% Vincy 2 da bone,

LOL, On that note instead of criticizing Castro, why not BEG him to fix your bad heart? The one that lands you in and out of the hospital. Maybe your British doctors aren't competent.
And do me a favour Ru Paul, quit those f.ucking smileys.  You and I know you are a sissy, no need to try and play it off,  It gives me goose bumps,

the topic is all about John McCain and his comments about Fidel Castro, as usual those who do not have the mental capacity to address issues will make it a platform to air dirty laundry.
Such a shame.

At least this emotionally disturbed woman has dropped her claims about being a Cuban citizen.

101% Vincy to da bone and you are languishing in Cuba and the US babysitting and claiming degrees,citizenships and status you don't have.

I wonder wetin do you this thing. . . . . .mental illness strikes in funny ways.

OMG, You are back again with this? LOL, I thought I sent you wiping your sorry face the last time,

Asswax, I go to people's houses( that's what Language therapists do, unless you have your own private practice) and work with children who are speech delayed.  The last time I checked, a babysitter works as a child care provider.  No bat, for the upteenth time, the Diva is NOT a sitter.  So you unemployed claimed to be Master's student of Cooperate law, find another combat,

Languish? LOL, and I had to take care of your responsibilities on more than one occasions, ? Now bat, who's languishing?  YOu goat, unlike you and your crew( yes call him out, am all ready)  I pass through airports without being scrutinized, We have no "black clouds" hanging over us,

My "mental illness" will haunt you and your likes until you die, You see, once more, I have enough dirt on you and your likes, what do you have on me?

refugees are usually people seeking assylum or fleeing a country due to war or prosecution. am an immigrant not a refugee.
