Socialism running amok!

Socialists running amok!

This is Socialism at work in New Zealand!

[AtomKraft]

I think this is prophesied in the Bible.
Something about not being allowed to buy or sell without the mark.

[John Hill]

So it is not Socialism at all?

[AtomKraft]

You tell us!

[John Hill]

It must be Socialism.

Sounds more like statism, which of course is tightly linked to socialism, but thank God for capitalism and Amazon.

but thank God for capitalism and Amazon

and McDonalds, Apple, Marlboros, Google, GPS, et al.

[John Hill]

Dont thank God, thank America!

And apple pie, a well known Murricane invention.

Without Murrica, we wouldn't have apples or pies. Nor would there be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover.

Without Murrica

In reality you probably wouldn't have much of anything. Thanks for the acknowledgment.

[John Hill]

Think nothing of it Ben.

[John Hill]

Just for you Ben and all your American kin!

GPS is a bit socialist, paid for by US taxpayers but used for free by everyone. OK, its primary purpose is for the US military but it's free to all.

[AtomKraft]

It's primary purpose is for the US to bomb accurately.
Same with WGS84.

But would mostly still have Iron Crossed Messerschmitts buzzing about on their way back to their home field in Kent...

And now supplanted by Glonass and perhaps soon by a forthcoming Euro-equivalent.

You really shouldn't bring your wank dreams to this forum, Brick.

And you say this as if it were a bad thing.

Thats another, let's all thank the Americans for their Mustangs that drove the Luftwaffe away in the Battle For Britain.
