Really? I mean most of the posters here make no bones that they identify themselves as 'socialist'. Even a good portion of the Americans on this site (che, Ramo, Odin, etc).

I don't hate America. I don't think many posters here, if any, do. I think they hate American foreign policy, like I do. I also hate British foreign policy, at the moment, but at least I know that it's very weakly supported there, whereas the war is more strongly supported here.

Why don't you actually read my first post. I adjust my view on the basis of a rational argument regardless of what any majority thinks. And I think that politics is basically crooked but at least Bush is not as crrrked as Clinton. And this forum is full of irrational Ameican hatred, but that does not mean that I think you are part of that crowd.

What I really enjoy about this forum is that the left and right both seem to be extremists and really like to hammer each other with joyful abandon.

Of course, we righties are really centrists and the lefties are mostly communists. That should give you an idea of where the center of this forum really is.

I was reluctantly pro-war. I supported going through the UN and still think that they should play a role in post-war Iraq. Powell's the member of the Bush administration I agree with most. Not exactly the most right-wing of stances (and foreign policy is the area I'm the most conservative on).

Well considering the UN shaves off 21% of Oil For Food revenues for "adminstrative costs"... I wouldn't want them running the country. They probably piss Iraqis off completely. The UN should stay out.

Can't say I'm suprised; you weren't exactly bringing your A game during the run-up to the war. You must have been too busy predicting disaster for the US and the world to take the time to read my posts. I understand.

I've always been thinking of getting people i know to start posting up on here... i know two guys studying to be preachers (one baptist, the other lutheran) and many more people who are lay religious baptists and muslims... getting them to post here would increase the black population of apolyton by like thirty times... but none of them heard of civilization the game


thanks

During the run-up to the war I was barely here. If you hadn't noticed, my posting has dropped off at Poly recently. Today was my biggest posting day in quite a while.

But yes, your posts always stuck out to me...for being such baseless drivel

That 1 in 21% should not be there. I meant to say 2%. Nonetheless, that is excessive.
