    +If you are a Libyan, it doesn't matter in which country you live, Gaddafi's intelligence service will always be watching you

    +....


    Wait a minute Kieran, I'm not the ranter, you are. I think all of us are pretty much aware of Gadaffi's brutal crimes against his own people.
  5. And where did the Libyan government get all that money.....
  6. It's all very disturbing this Gadaffi death. Good luck to the new free country that celebrates 'freedom' by placing an old mans body in a meat shop for folks to come look at. A morbid state funeral almost.

  7. Yes, we do. Yogi was just trying to point out that the world is NOT black and white. Gadafi was a great Occident' friend until 2010, then he became Satan. The same as happened with Saddam Hussein and Ossama Bin Laden in the 80s-90s... They were great friends with the USA and then they became personifications of the purest Evil. But Yogi was just pointing out that, while Gadafi was an absolute bastard and a mass murder for years, he did also good things for his country and some of his people. And the occidental countries always avoided to look on those horrible things until last year, when they decided to avoid looking at the good. Hypocresy.


  8. If a man runs after money, he's money-mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't get it, he's a ne'er-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it, he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a lifetime of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life. - Vic Oliver
  9. Well, I only have my opinion. I'm not the US government, or the Swedish government.

    Every democratic system involving money works if there are assets, take a look at your country for what happens when there's no money.

    I don't have to worry though. America will never become socialist.
