So, any way you put it, Communism, Socialism, Facism...it's all crapism. The only "ism" I want is Capitalism. Mixed with democracy.
You know what? I'm in the mood for a triple-deluxe cheeseburger with all the fixings and an extra-large coke...and I think I'll super-size it too. Just because I can. Just because I live in a country where the individual is truly king. America is so awesome. I can taste it.
As other people have mentioned when replying to your trolling/posting, there is no democracy in the US. You have a two-party system funded entirely by huge corporations whose sole interest is making money. There is no benefit to the people considered. We have the same thing in the UK, it's gotta be said, but somehow I don't think it's quite so apalling.
The gun lobby, the oil lobby, you name it. All these corporations already hugely rich, telling the government that handguns shouldn't be banned, raping Alaska for oil is fine, it's hilarious. Americans have been so brainwashed into believing that it's their free-will, liberty and right to buy and handgun that will kill their children, drive a 2 ton car that gets 15 mpg when it would be better for them, the people, if they didn't buy guns and drove more economical cars. But that wouldn't be good for Smith and Wesson or Haliburton, would it?
Why do you want a triple deluxe cheeseburger? Because McDonald's have been increasing the portion sizes for years in the hope that you'll buy more and more, get fatter and fatter, all the time pouring money into their pockets. I like to eat big meals, myself, but I've seen no obesity like American obesity, no greed like American greed, no ignorance like American ignorance. Your blind adherance to and revelling in the status quo does nothing to change my mind on these matters.
