fascism [(fash-iz-uhm)]

A system of government that flourished in Europe from the 1920s to the end of World War II. Germany under Adolf Hitler, Italy under Mussolini, and Spain under Franco were all fascist states. As a rule, fascist governments are dominated by a dictator, who usually possesses a magnetic personality, wears a showy uniform, and rallies his followers by mass parades; appeals to strident nationalism; and promotes suspicion or hatred of both foreigners and “impure” people within his own nation, such as the Jews in Germany. Although both communism and fascism are forms of totalitarianism, fascism does not demand state ownership of the means of production, nor is fascism committed to the achievement of economic equality. In theory, communism opposes the identification of government with a single charismatic leader (the “cult of personality”), which is the cornerstone of fascism. Whereas communists are considered left-wing, fascists are usually described as right-wing.

So you see Winfeld - as much as you will try to whine about nazi's being left-wing, you're wrong. Keep whining though, if it makes you feel better.

Health care expenditure per capita by country, year 2007.

Strange how these countries with inefficient socialized healthcare seem to spend much less money on it than the USA.

"...it's proof that you're a partisan tool with no thoughts of your own."

No one here needs any more proof of that. Quit feeding the troll, please.

Also, I wish the programming gods here could find a way for our "ignores" to carry through when the ignoreds' ignored comments are quoted in someone elses comment. It is simply too difficult to avert my gaze quickly enough to prevent some small smattering of lemming-spawned shit-wittedness from inducing a small portion of the evenings repast of Del Taco and Broken Halo IPA back up. It burns.

"In French cuisine, a quiche (IPA: [ki:ʃ]) is a baked dish that is made primarily of eggs and milk or cream in a pastry crust"
Eh?


Really? You've never heard the phrase "Real men don't eat quiche"?

That and the Chai Lattes are insults to their masculinity.

"In French cuisine, a quiche (IPA: [ki:ʃ]) is a baked dish that is made primarily of eggs and milk or cream in a pastry crust"

Eh?

^This is all conjecture, but based on the numbers I found, let's do some preliminary calculations.

Given a person will smoke/purchase an eighth every two weeks and that would only get taxed at $1, the same as the U.S. median for cigarette tax, shown here.

So 52 weeks in a year / 2 = 26 weeks * $1 = $26
$26 * an estimated 14,600,000 active marijuana users (here) = $379.6 million tax revenue annually

Now that's based on alot of presumptive info, ie.
1. 2004 numbers for active marijuana users
2. only being taxed $1 on an eighth
3. and that active marijuana users would smoke (or purchase) an eighth every two weeks...

---

Now let's just say for the hell of it, we tax it at $5. $5 * 26 weeks * 14,600,000 users = $1,898,000,000 annually.

Going at that rate, it would take only 5,550+ years to pay off the national debt, and that's based on today's figure. Not that figure 5,550 years from now.

Deliciously *dark. And since it's for IPA, that's *drugs.

The only reason your troops are being sent to die in a foreign country is because of oil. How many barrels of oil do you buy with an exploded Humvee and five young dead US soldiers?

yes it kicks ass \m/ . Its really great to listen to with a keg of Lagunitas IPA and 10 of your closest, rowdy friends.

it's a british generic friendly lads accent with no detectable regionality, perfect for advertising.

the reason it sounds a bit ozzy is probably because the last line is a question, and as we all know, every oz sentence ends with a question mark. and the actor is trying to be all casual and laddish.

btw, IPA (india pale ale) was specially developed so it could be transported to india without going bad. Empire, what what. Now you know.

and yes, british ads are better than american ads, but this one only needed 20 seconds. i hate 40 second ads that repeat the joke a million times.

Um yeah, pay their meal ticket! Not only does it give innocent people time to come up with further evidence, it's CHEAPER to keep people in prison for life!!! Don't believe me? There's some smart peoples doin' the research.

But lets look at the death penalty another way. "During 2007 24 countries, 88% in China, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United States alone, executed 1,252 people." What wonderful company we are in. The UK banned it in 1973. It is banned in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada, Australia, even Mexico. In fact, Mexico refuses to extradite some criminals who really need to face justice in the US because we might execute them.

There was a time when the US was a world leader. Now we can't even follow the trends set by the rest of the world.

Everybody else is evolving beyond the revenge bloodlust. When are we going to grow up?
