Kerry, Bush had similar grades

Are you speaking of this scandal: "The Liberal Party was reduced from a majority to a minority government due, in part, to a Chrétien-era scandal in which advertising agencies supporting the Liberal Party received grossly inflated commissions for their services. This scandal is well known as the sponsorship scandal. It continues to be damaging to the party and serves as a threat to the Liberal's prospects of forming the government after the next federal election." Or another?

Strangler - We do actually delve into all of Stalin's wrong doings. We know the atrocities he has commited full and well. I don't respect the guy in the least.

And to be fair, Peace, Bread, Land is from the earlier part of the Bolshevik revolution. It was something Lenin cooked up, not Stalin. Lenin wasn't quite as blood thirsty as Stalin. I'm not exactly sure what period my av is from. I'm lead to beleive it was from the Lenin era but could be from the Stalin era.

Just thought I'd clear that up.


Bond - I don't much care for our leader either. I insult him constantly. The only reason you don't hear me do this is because Canadian politics aren't a hot topic on our board. I support the NDP even though they are a constant underdog.

I like minority governments though. Good stuff usually happens under minority governments in Canada. The best example would be that our current health care system was brought in under a minority government.

That is because I am an electric and controversial personality, whose pragamatic logic skills excite and titlilate the general public.

*cough*

Ok, maybe I'm just passionate about my opinions and I'm not afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve. I don't think this is a bad thing, and neither are arguments. If people always agreed on everything or refused to get behind what they believe in, the world would be a pretty bland place.

I wasnt comparing the two.

What do you think a comparison is? You referred to my sig IN DIRECT COMPARISON to my thoughts about Dyflon's. You may not have intended to, but thats what you did.

Dyflon, I am aware that Lenin was not a psychopath like Stalin was, but Lenin set the groundwork for a psychopath like Stalin to take power, even if it was unintentional. If you do not allow the community to control communism, it inevitably becomes facism. On a side note, if you want to see a hilarious movie about the cold war, see "1,2,3" by Billy Wilder.

Heh, I'm not saying Lenin was any good either, really. But my av and sig were instantly associated with Stalin by you.

Really I was just more intrigued by propaganda.

That is all.
