Surely the only way to solve this would be to have one rule for all and punish those who disobey this rule. Oh wait, that ruling body was the UN, effectively bitch slapped back to oblivion by Bush's "It's great if you agree with us but if you don't you are wrong" attitude to international diplomacy.

As for the "Power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely", this is far from the truth, if only because absolute power reneges the desire for corruption as corruption's attraction is the acquisition of such power.

JM and Renegade are going at it well. This thread is fun to read. JM never backs down, or hasn't in the past, and Renegade seems just as adamant to keep up the debate.

"Do what must be done, do not hesitate, show no mercy. "

That's my motto in debate (and the best line from from EpIII)

[Slade]

I like a healthy chunk of mercy.

That's because you're the pope.

Also, I'm going to be taking a break. The head chef has scampered off and I'm currently running the kitchen every night, which means I have barely enough energy to pump my fist in the air and yell death to Bush, much less debate about why.

Pfft, leave after i slapt you around with 4 posts and defamed your chosen one!

I wouldn't call it slapped around... But being head chef is tough work! Takes the fight right out of you. Or something... *shrug*

You will be smitten as soon as I get my day off and have time to read all of your yankee propaganda.

Wikipedia is yankee propaganda?

And how can a country's actual policy be yankee propaganda

WIkipedia is filled with ahistorical information. I've talked to some history majors at school (good friend is in the faculty) and they say that the internet in general is the worst place for finding historical infomation. Wikipedia was an example they used. You could submit a written topic for the Wikipedia.

Liberal Propaganda.

Hehe. Sure, it's easy to say "Wikipedia is open source, it's unreliable," but that just shows you've never tried to write an article. There are information format nazis on there who bicker all the time and try to remove bias and untruths and half the time an article gets flagged for deletion just because it's written and somebody thinks it belongs somewhere else. The politics that go on are hilarious to watch, and most of the articles cite sources.

Also, probably JM didn't read your stuff and just assumed that what you were saying was "yankee propaganda." Though I take offense to that phrase, being from New York and all. "Ah say, ah say boy, I resent that!"

Liberal propaganda: The wealthy liberal elite are trying to cram their values down your throats! Don't even listen to them, they're just lying to convince you they're on your side when in actuality, they just want more money. Etc. al... Thanks for the laugh, though.

Wikipedia is quite good, i don't really care about what people say. Every source is gonna have some flaws, but for the most part, wikipedia is pretty damm good.

And i was joking about the liberal propaganda bit
