Hardly.

Nope but beating people to death does & that is part of what's been
going on in US run detention facilities.

Again Gene you're showing your confusion. (A) Phil is the one going on
about the US turning fascist & (B) The Stalin point was directed to you
personally & not the US as a whole.

So speaks the anti-british bigoted ignoramus we all know. Crikey Gene if I
din't realise the sheer scale of your lack of knowledge & blind bigotry
I might take your views seriously.

I'm sure that teenage years are many many decades behind you & that it
is senility which is causing your manifest confusions about the world &
indeed reality in general. There is a difference between signs of maturity
& the signs of senilty which you demonstrate time after time. So stop
dribbling, drink your medicine & keep congratulating yourself on having
reached the 21'st century even if you choose not to live in it.
