Jul 7, 2008 - You pointed out my fallacies? What are you smoking? When and where did you point out fallacies I have committed?I replied to John. I love the guy, but when it takes me 10 minutes to tear down what took him 30 minutes or more to construct, that says quite a bit. Have I missed something? Did he make another video? I'd like to know.I have dealt with these arguments numerous times over. They are as impotent as they are overused, which is saying quite a bit.Leave script reading for the ignorant

Jul 6, 2008 - Woooo, I am scared. African countries are going to war on the US or Europe because of protectionism. Frightening.Maybe time to notice that some stuff works for them, and dont work for others.Free trade, protectionism, war... etc works for people for whom it works. It is the way it is.
