Sir, might I suggest an English dictionary instead of a Soviet one.

Communism is an economic system where everything is held in common - meaning benefits and losses are shared among the masses, and the focus is on the middle class, and taxing the rich.

I believe you mean totalitarian.

Communism, just does not work with human nature, it ends up in total power

Two words: Screw congress. They think they're the best thing now that(No racism intended) we have a black person as a president. Oh look,we made history! Let's corrupt the internet! No, just no.

[SoapANator]

Members of congress are idiots these days... Can't imagine congress in twenty years.

[Dave the Headcrab]

God, congress is stupid. They look for a scapegoat constantly and a lot of the time it's the internet/gaming community. And yet the majority of people are un-educated and will probably vote for it.

I just wanted to reply to a post earlier in the thread about Canada would follow if America does this... No, Canada would not.

Although Americans may not seem to realize this, Canada has said "fuck you" (in terms) numerous times when they try and tell us what we should stop or do. (Copyright laws being one of them, and even delaying a proposed pipe-line. [We said we'll look into selling to Asia if you wish to delay.])

And yes, someone did mention before that America seems to be becoming much like a totalitarian government as they want to control the media and the way the country thinks, which hell.. could result in another war, as that is exactly how Hitler was able to start it.

The post that was made was most likely around John Winthrop's term "City Upon a Hill." American is the example, and history has proven time and time again that most of the world - that includes Canada - usually follows us. And not only that, but it's sort of like :

"Well America did it so it must be okay." - Some foreign nation.
