My point is proven: the majority of YOUR paycheck goes to YOUR
government. In America, Americans work for themselves, not the
government. The fact that the majority of your paycheck is taken
from you by your own government reveals a population that feels
themselves inadequate to solve their own problems on an individual
level, ie, sheep.
And yes, your petro tax IS outrageous! It's called robbery here in
the states and has been known to cause historical revolutions.

Maybe I missed that part where you discuss the nazis having to defend
themselves against the American H-bomb.
Once the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor there was no way on Earth that
the Americans were going to be defeated by anyone. The entire US economy
shifted to production of tanks, airplanes, and ships.
Your coulda, shoulda, woulda, doesn't fly.

What's true? Are you suggesting that America was saved because of
Russia???
First off, the Nazis didn't kill 20 million Russians. Stalin killed
20 million Russians by leaving them out in the freezing elements
without supplies for extended periods of time.
Nazi Germany and Japan needed petro and that petro came from the east
indies region of the world where American military was in full force.
America had Germany both by power and by strategic positioning.
Europe can thank the good ol' USofA for saving the world!
End of story!

Not my problem.
Since Jon makes very often statements which seem to be outright lies,
I think in his case he is the one who has to prove his claim always.
How is entirely his problem
I simply don´t care for his Bull, he is, together with Chad Myers, the most
dishonest person I´ve ever read. They are the same in this league.

I´m also sitting in front of quite big screens which would dwarve several
TV-sets. Nonetheless my TV is still a lot bigger. Nothing against
DVD-drives in computers, only I would use them only for data, not for
movies.

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember
that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you.
Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a
reason. By all means, do not use a hammer (in an IBM manual)

Actually, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) the statistics
for infant mortality rate in the USA and the UK are as follows:
USA 1997: 722 per 100,000
UK 1997: 586 per 100,000
The USA rate is 1.2 times the UK rate - hardly 2 times the rate as you
claim.
