Socialism
2004-02-14, 6:11 AM #41
During our stint in WW1 (1917), Woodrow Wilson literally made America a socialist state. The government almost completely took over the economy, they took over businessess and regulated their output for the war effort. Socialism is defined as when the government takes over the means of production and the output of that production into the economy.

The more you know.

Falling in the footsteps of the very countries we tried to separate from. Now that's ironic.

Maybe you should just lock yourself in a closet until a sense of humor develops. I'm not the funniest man that ever lived, but you should at least be able to tell when someone is being facetious.

Shut up. I'm GOING to do this whether you like it or not.

You do understand that some people here are just so dense that they wouldn't be able to recognize a joke if it hit them in the head repeatedly while yelling "I AM A JOKE". That's jsut the way it is here.

Sarcasm translates very badly over the internet and there was no smilie or anything to tell me that it was a joke and I wasn't being a prick, so just chill okay?

Checksum: I thought about it, I guess I'm striving for my own personal ideals. I'll just project those ideals onto Jesus and say "I'm trying to be like Jesus" so that I won't have to listen to you banter endlessly about me worshipping a false god or some such.
