Socialists deserved to win in Spain

It has been a year and people are still waiting for the U.N. to 'legitimize' it?

The U.N. didn't do shit about Saddam and they didn't do shit about stopping us from invading.

Summary: the U.N. didn't do shit but make noise, as per usual.

Unfortunately the UN's charter precludes it from regime change. So there is no arguement there. :shrug:
 
I legitametly worry about the citizens of spain now, if the socialist party is making the moves they look like they are making, they are just inviting more terrorist attacks

I think terrorists by defnition tend to crash the party without invitations. :D In technical parlance, they cannot be deterred.

Then enlighten us.

Outside of colleges and a few faggot twilight zone cities that need to be wiped off the face of planet, we don't get socialists in America. We have a rather limited exposure to and understanding of socialists.

I find it hard to believe that the entire political party wears berets and sits around coffee houses being pretentious faggots, there must be something more to thier socialism than there is in America.

Also i think that what you also mean is that the Socialist Party in Spain is not the perceived monolith like global Communism from the last century. In fact i guess it has more in common to any other political party, and not simply socio-political ideology.

Actually isnt the welfare state in the u.s. and things like unions and medicare legacies of socialism. I'd say much of Europe is more strongly aligned to socialist ideas, but who really knows what the Spanish version is. I'd say the Spanish also have anarchic traditions.

Whoohoo!

We'll have universal healthcare and 8 weeks of vacation time per year until our economy collapses and we wind up manufacturing trinkets and selling our female children into prostitution like the Eastern Europeans and the Asians.

Blame F.D.R. for the entitlement programs and blame the idiots who followed him for expanding them.

Sort of funny though, Bush's response to a bad economy (entitlement programs, massive spending and a war economy) mimic those of F.D.R. yet the political response isn't quite the same. ;)
 
All of this talk about Spain is giving me an urge to re-read For Whom the Bell Tolls but I don't know if I can stay awake through it a second time. :(
 
Seriously though, when was the last time that Euros had prospering economies without having to rape the living shit out of some other continent to power said economy?

I think that I will look for my economic models somewhere else, k, thx. :)
