That statement right there has officially nullified your opinions in my book.

You are clearly perversely biased against anything reselmbling an authority figure, which in turn closes your mind completely.

I was in high school, and I fought for what was right, but I also know that whoever your parents voted for doesnt matter, because wether you like it or not, your upbringing will have an affect on your political standings especially at a young age, it is very important.

I don't know who my parents voted for, they don't know who I voted for. we are both into politics, but that is nobodys business.

Gunny, quote your little quip about Deutchland for our Stalinist friend... Or shall I?

Why don't you look at their economy, which has had no progress for 3 years until just this year. It has held the whole EU down. How about their unemployment rate, its lovely.

Yeah, I'm sure its nice and strong....

You must know that you don't know enough about the subject, even I don't know enough about the subject. Let this be a lesson.

Anyways, back on topic with the war, here is only a portion of an article that his little socialist league published. To read the rest, open the hyperlink.

...Lovely hypocrisy, for a group supporting an ideology that spawned dictators guilty of killing millions over millions of innocents whilst stripping their rights clean form them in the process.

YPSL--opposing war, now and then
Published on 05/22/05 at 22:21:52 EST by marlar

Looking back to see what has changed within the Socialist movement and what has stayed the same presents a good opportunity for self-examination and reflection. The following is an anti-war statement that was issued by the YPSL in 1939.

They didn't have it right, because it is a failure! It has lost! PROVE IT THEN.

...? What...? At least try to prove your position before resorting to that, you haven't even tried.
