doesn't matter if he's dead. He's filthy rich and voted democrat. LIke most sane minded billionaires who put the human race first over profits. I'd assume they were atheists as well.

See my additions to that post. Here:
" Apple has no problems with using third world sweatshops. My iPod that I'm listening to was made in China. I don't guess that the workers at that factory are treated wonderfully. "Designed by Apple in California. Manufactured in China". Lol."

Sure, he didn't care about money. Mmhmm.

Oh, wait. It's "assembled in China". Trying to recall the exact wording:

How does any of that relate to fascism? You have a company outsourcing jobs to save a penny or 2. I think it's completely wrong. You clearly aren't understanding the topic at hand. Re-read the 14 signs of fascism and point to 1 that references what you're talking about and Steve Jobs. I don't think Steve Jobs is buying up our government for profits like the Kochroaches.

Better yet, look up "Oligarch" in the dictionary and stay on topic.

You're the one making Jobs out to be a damn saint and saying that he placed people before profit. I'm not so delusional to think that rich Democrats really care about people, either. I don't see rich ******** like Buffett and Jobs giving away their billions to those less off. Go on, sing their praises like a good little sycophant, as if they care about you. Both the Republican and Democratic parties are worthless. And I voted for Obama twice. :rolleyes:

I think the amount of " " the" american flag " going around this thread alone points at to why you d do well to have a lil bit less nationalism.

So because we refer to it as the American flag, that's nationalism? Sorry, that doesn't cut it. Why does it always come down to semantics? You're splitting hairs on the language rather than making a valid point pertinent to the topic.

Show how little you know about the differences between the parties. That's what this is all about. Republicans are fascists, democrats are humanists. To say both parties are the same shows you have no clue.
Democratic billionaires also give much more to charity. That's the humanist side and respect for everyone. I believe George Soros has given nearly $7 billion. I wouldn't expect the propagandists on the right to inform their vulnerable viewers of that fact. (It's much easier to make him out to be evil)

You're too out of touch with reality. You're just as bad as brain-dead Republicans who demonize Democrats. Two sides of the same coin. You can have each other. I'll be on the outside of all this nonsense, shaking my head and laughing at you both like the duped mundane slaves you are. Tsk tsk.

Bill Clinton authorized sanctions against Iraq which killed 500,000 children. Hillary Clinton has been calling for war against Assad for years. Get your facts in check, the dems aren't that different from the repubs. The only reason Obama isn't sending ground troops in is because he's just smarter and more well versed on foreign policy than Bush was, were it different circumstances you can bet American instead of Iranian troops would be fighting ISIS right now.

How is it not? You are talking about your flag as if it was america´s flag. How is that not extremely self explanatory?

Because the casual term of "America" and the more formal term "United States" is often accepted as the difference between "Kleenex" and "facial tissue." Almost no one asks for a facial tissue in my country. No matter what you call it, there's no motive behind it. We don't say "America" because of nationalism. We say it because it's a casual term. Again, you're deflecting the original issue.

Bull****. I've seen this crap from certain ignorant Central and South Americans with an axe to grind before. No other country calls itself America. It's the United States of America. For short, it's called America and its citizens are called Americans. Do you call yourself an American? Canadians I've talked to think this line of argument is stupid, too.

"casual term"s dont manifest themselves from the sky. You would still call a non kleenex brand kleenex yet many have debated me being an american (as I am not US citizen). I knew one of em who literraly thought was THE name of the country.

In any case, I think its good to limit flags to places that are more directly linked to political issues. I dont think its an extremely important subject to be fair, but if they wanted the flag out to be more inclusive, I can very well see that.

Exactly, Ecuador. Which is in America. Which is waaaaaaay bigger than US.

This territorialism is precisely what I am talking about.

Ecuadoran, actually. Not an American. There is no other country on the planet that calls its citizens "Americans." Brazilians. Chileans. And so on. No Americans except in America. But you're convinced, so there's no point in arguing further.

North, Central and South America are continents, not countries. Do you understand the difference? You're making yourself look stupid by getting caught up in semantics and confusing concepts. Ecuador is not a state in "America". It's a country. Get it? It's not so difficult to ****ing understand.

Stop with the hypocrisy. Your anti-Americanism is another form of territorialism since you wish to own the concept of "America" and want us to agree with your nonsense. Oh, I'm sorry, I won't display the flag or call myself an American because some ignorant guy in Ecuador looks down on it. Oops.

Its a country in the continent of America, America, which is divided in north, central and south america :) . Hopefully, they taught you this in geography, yes?

Americas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No desire to copyright the concept. I actually love several things of the US and prefer much of its ideologies than predominant in Ecuador. Its nationalism is NOT one of those things though.

About owning the concept, there is no need, I am merely informing you about it. to which you display great territoriality with the word "american". You want to pretend only US citizen are american, although I assume you do know a nigerian is an african, someone from egypt is an african, etc.

This knowledge escapes you when it comes to America though. this comes from deep rooted nationalism, which is from there the territoriality comes from.

Oh, I'm sorry, I won't display the flag or call myself an American because some ignorant guy in Ecuador looks down on it. Oops.

You are a citizen of the US, of course you are american.

About what you do, its up to you. I am talking as a general society flaw.
