How geography is taught in America

Doesn't work. The bosses are basically replaced by the government, and you better don't critisize the government, or else...

I'm not sure about the first, the second is true, but the third is true for despotism, not communism. You are probably referring to Soviet Union and China, which were never any more real communist systems than the United States is a real capitalist system today.

That's why a government should include everyone.

There's always some group of people who claim that they are the government. Every country where communism has been applied has a little group who control the people and buy expencive US products and villas, yachts, etc. while their people are very to extremely poor (North-Korea, China, Cuba, etc.).

I really like to see communism work, it sounds good, but the truth is, it's always fucked up by a small group of people.

There is always a little group of people fucking things up for the rest.

Bush/Rumfild/Johon Ashcroft and a couple of other goons managed to turn the U.S.  into a dictatorship of some kind.  I'll be glad when those idiots are long gone!

[Laukev7]

It's not quite a dictatorship yet, but it's in the beginning stages. Since some time ago, the United States has been slipping on a slope towards corporate fascism, and the election of the Bush administration has led to alarming developments. Fortunately, the tendency has not reached a critical point yet, and can be reversed if enough people are educated about what's going on.

America is FAR from a dictatorship...


"...Fortunately, the tendency has not reached a critical point yet, and can be reversed if enough people are educated..."

...and voters keep people like Bush in office instead of liberals. Then America will be the way it was ment to be when it was created: a country with morals and freedoms.

Oh my god, surely no-one could really be this stupid, could they?

America has alianated itself, invaded countries, squashed the rights and freedoms of its people and has controled the media.  

If that isn't a dictatorship, then hitlers time must of been a free democracy.

If bush is gone or not, you guys have got a long way to go to get to a "a moral and free" country.

But if he is gone and the rest of his goons are gone to then at least that is a step in the right direction.

Heh. It seems to me you don't understand what a dictatorship is. (Though, I didn't read the rest of the thread, so don't get mad if I missed something.)

Dictionary.com:
   1. The office or tenure of a dictator.
   2. A state or government under dictatorial rule.
   3. Absolute or despotic control or power.

A dictator:
   1. An absolute ruler.

Edit: I now read the thread. Indeed, you don't know what a dictatorship is!

Not too bad for the Worlds Leading Super Power.

[solarismka]

Lets see, they invaded other countries for their own gain.

They squashed the rights and freedoms of the american citizen.  See U.S.  Patriot Act.

They've implemented stupid boarder crossing rules.

Lets not forget that Cuban Prisson housing so called 'terrorists'

Bush himself has killed more people on death row than any american war.  Not counting the 'war on terror.'

He singles out anyone who is different.  Relgion/sex/race etc etc......

Nope hes not a dictator and hitler was a saint.

[TheQuirk]

Jesus Christ. You don't seem to realize something:

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WORD "DICTATOR" MEANS.

A dictator doesn't mean somebody that kills a lot, or eats babies, or shoots lasers out of his eyes while climbing tall Jap buildings. A dictator is somebody that has complete control of a state--he doesn't have to be a tyrant.

I even posted a DICTIONARY DEFINITION, and you still don't get it! Geeze!
