It's just that the left is so poorly (and incompetently, by and large) represented in US media that the apparent spectrum is biased rightward (constant harping about the "liberal media" helps with that process). Yes, those publications are "centrist" to Communists. KM That would be true if everyone outside the USA was a communist. Which some people here do seem to think. miguel I think most people realize that Communism is moribund inside and outside the United States. The ones to pity are those who quote Marx and Lenin without realizing who they are parroting. Lenin called them "useful idiots". Lenin, or course, didn't realize he fit into that category himself.

"alohacyberian" schreef in bericht ... We only say things are better in the United States than they are in the Netherlands because it's true. I was waiting for this to come. Yet again. "Things are better in the United States than they are in the Netherlands because it's true". This is exactly the arrogant ugly American that the rest of the world hates. We're just trying to teach you to be realistic. But, actions speak louder than words. Obviously you thought it would be better in the U.S. or you wouldn't have pursued a job in America. I was *asked* to come to the USA to work. After careful consideration and visiting the city where they wanted me to work (Atlanta), I decided to keep a better quality of life in the Netherlands.

schreef in bericht ... Don't forget euthansia, Isn't it great that I, and only I, can decide at the end of my life that it has been enough? That I want no more pain and suffering? That I can die peacefully after saying good-bye to my loved-ones? drugg selling Isn't it great that soft drugs can be sold semi-legally, that the "stuff" is controlled, that the customers get quality "stuff" at reasonable prices, that they can enjoy the "stuff" peacefully and without being harassed, and that the result of this policy is that the Netherlands only scores "average" on the list of drug-using countries? (ie there are many countries where soft drugs are illegal with HIGHER average drug consumption) and abandoning previously oppressed colonies like Indonesia while you're doing your admiring. The Dutch left Indonesia because 1) the Indonesians wanted the Dutch to leave and 2) under pressure from the USA. The Dutch would have liked to stay, and many, many Indonesians I have talked with during the last 15 years tell me that "Indonesia would be a much better place if the Dutch had stayed". Sjoerd |

"alohacyberian" schreef in bericht ... You have spent countless hours bashing Americans and the United States while inventorying its transgressions. Why the hell would you want to live in the U.S.? It actually offers something the Netherlands doesn't offer? Double standard? It offered the opportunity to live and work in another country / culture, which I would like to do for some years, and about 50% higher net-income. However, after visiting Atlanta (where they wanted me to live and work), I decided that my quality of life would deteriorate substantially and I declined the job offer. Sjoerd |
