  6. I could be wrong here but i've a feeling your not to fond of the bold Karl Marx, grouch. I don't know what gave me that impression we'll call it intuition!

  7. david a cara, marxists are the workers enemy, and if ur unempolyed like me, the enemy of the non-worker also. im startin a party called sinn fein the non-workers party and hope to have a manifesto out soon. we are the ultimate abstentionists and will abstain from running candidates or even having members. i hope u will back us.

  8. Grouch this new independent state you are setting up...

    Can we make this the national anthem?

    It starts with these words...

    The Fightin' Side Of Me

    I hear people talkin' bad,
    About the way we have to live here in this country,
    Harpin' on the wars we fight,
    An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
    An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
    An' standin' up for things they believe in.
    When they're runnin' down my country, man,
    They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
    Runnin' down the way of life,
    Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep......

  9. frankie a cara, awesome stuff, we intend having several national anthems, but we still have a big gra for peader kearneys original. anyone caught singing that rugby shoulder to shoulder shite will be bounced out of the nation forever. such a shame twickenham didnt hear peader's fighting words there last week. who were the four goons singin that woeful song there, four absolute fuc*kin planks.

  11. frankie a cara, the best advice i ever got was the devil tells u 95% of the truth and still gets u in the end with the other 5% of lies.anyone calling for a global society and doesnt believe in god is dodgy in my book. i prefer merle haggard anyday(and thanks for that bro) to that creepy gooterhead on youtube there.

  12. Grouch,
    I don't buy into the God argument either. All religion has done is simply divide and conquer while a chosen few get rich.

    Religion aside what Fresco say's makes sense...(at least in my head)..

  13. yes defo great ideas frankie i wont argue there, but i fear the monetary controllers know their time is running out and are going to try and stay in control by fake prophets like marx and modern globalist idealogues. i am anti zeitgeist, that peter joseph is a creep of the highest order in my book. yes religion divides but i believe God will bring us all back together. zeitgeist = shitegeist.

  14. Grouch,

    The big problem with Zeitgeist is simple..they talk about doom and gloom (among other things). And they have no vision for the future. At least Fresco has vision. They may be radical, even far fetched..But as a man once said..

    "Carts didn't have wheels until somebody thought about it.."
