Any comments on this from the Euro's?

The name was in reference to another one of your asinine posts jackass.

Isn't it time for you favorite show on Fox news. Maybe they'll finally explain the difference between a trader and a traitor in terms a moron like you could understand....maybe.

If you had lived in the pre-1860 era and you had denounced the US for its allowance of slavery, would be rightfully called a 'trator'?

Hey Locknload, you are quite the hawk in debates on the message board. I'm wondering, have you ever served in the armed forces? If you have, I can respect your willingness to put lives at risk. If you haven't, then I guess you would be exactly like our president and vice president, talking tough and letting others risk their necks while you sit on your ass.

Which one are you?

Hey stupid 1 and stupid 2,

It's one thing to speak out against the govenment and an entirely different thing to speak out when it aides and abets the enemy and puts our citizens in grave danger you misguided losers. Yes it's still protected under our first amendment but any sense of decentsy would restrain one from doing so. Obviously neither one of you have any sense decentsy.

And since you hypocrites criticize me for the misspelling of the word "TRAITOR" at least you could spell it right yourselves.

What does "decentsy" mean?

A Observer,

Not that I have to explain my personal life to you but no I did not serve but I did have to worry day and night for 3 years while my son was over in Iraq protecting the lives of you and your family while all you and others could do is sit here safely without a worry and try to diminish his and others efforts just to score political points.

Well that's me so what about you? Did you serve or have any family member over there? And if you did how would you feel about the criticism of these troops and your children? If you had a son or a daughter die over there would you be singing the same tune that their lives were wasted?

Would you object to the criticism or would you just sit there and say nothing?

Excuse me I suck at spelling in case you haven't noticed. It's decency: 1. The state or quality of being decent. 2. Conformity to the recognized standard of propriety, good taste, modesty, etc. 3. Something decent or proper.

I fail to see the connection between any aforementioned "speech" or "writing" and treachary.

I'm not surprised

That's why we elected a president with balls!

The UN Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of poverty, literacy, education, life expectancy, and other factors for countries worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare. The index was developed in 1990 by the Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq, and has been used since 1993 by the United Nations Development Programme in its annual report.

The HDI measures the average achievements in a country in three basic dimensions of human development:

* A long and healthy life, as measured by life expectancy at birth.

* Knowledge, as measured by the adult literacy rate (with two-thirds weight) and the combined primary, secondary and tertiary gross enrollment ratio (with one-third weight).

* A decent standard of living, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) in USD.

Each year, countries are listed and ranked according to these measures. Those high on the list often brag about it, as a means of attracting talented migrants (economically, individual capital) or discouraging potential emigrants from leaving.

1. Norway (=)

2. Iceland (↑ 5)

3. Australia (=)

4. Luxembourg (↑ 11)

5. Canada (↓ 1)

6. Sweden (↓ 4)

7. Switzerland (↑ 4)

8. Republic of Ireland (↑ 2)

9. Belgium (↓ 3)

10. United States (↓ 2)

"European socialism has created an overall lazy and entitled native population."

This statement, to me, is just weird. I have one daughter who lives here in the US and two that live in Ireland. And none of them are not lazy or entitled. They are Irish and recieve Irish bennies, like mostly free education thru University and have the best drama program I have ever seen at my youngest daughters HS, she in in 4th year. Her HS education is so much better and less high tech than any of my other kids recieved here. She goes to school in Thurles. My wife she is a ER nurse in Limerick and believe me she does not recieve anything like the kind of bennies she recieved here. The very very poor do recieve the same benefits and a few extra like county housing but in no way is it a easy life to be poor there or here.

Ireland has the least socialized government in the EU; well, a t least for now.

I'm watching Saving Private Ryan...what irony.

The French are reaping the whirlwind.

God Bless America.

Spare me your blather, locknload. Right-wing party line right down to the insults at the beginning and the fiction about "terrorists running through the streets". There have been terrorists since the beginning of time and the best we can hope to do is control them.

You probably believe all of the swill you're told about how this is about security and freedom. They do a nice job of convincing people of this when the people behind the curtain are really all about power and wealth.....for a certain elite. The rest of us are just cannon fodder for their pipe dreams. Just keep 'em scared, happy, and working at WalMart for substandard wages and we can laugh all the way to the bank.

Convince me otherwise with original thought, not the same old recycled spin.

u are a f***ing IDIOT !U don t worth my comments asshole

LOL...oh yeah, balls enuff to go AWOL during Nam!

balls enuf to send 2,00 soldiers to their final resting spots?

gee i guess i would opt to vote for brains over balls pretty much any time.

Is the value of living higher than in the U.S.?

Maybe. Don't know. Long argument. Need more facts/evidence

Is that aritcle chock full of poorly argued jingoist tripe desperately aimed at defending U.S. policies from dissenting opinion posed by 90% of the entire world?

Yes
