| I think Iran would like nukes for a similar reason to north korea; to threaten its immediate enemies and to use as blackmail at international peace meetings. Fixed that for you. Right.

| IF there really was a conspiracy; A. Would they leave anyone alive to talk about it? B: Would it be possible to keep people silenced about it for so long, deathbed confession anyone? Plus, how do you know that the New World Order isn't controlled by the Old World Order, who themselves are controlled... |

| You strawman argument can simply be countered by extending the principle and assuming it is of equal irrelevance if someone kills you too. Then again, the argument that life begins at conception can also be extended to that life beings when you're just thinking of f*****g someone. If god is the Ott... |

| To the two Americans in here, I didn't add capital tax, municipal taxes, wealth tax, electricity tax, TV tax etc. Just the most obvious ones, because I didn't feel like having a heart attack. |

| You do realize I was speaking to someone who identified as a Marxist and that anyone who identifies as a Marxist would have to accept at the very least his labor theory of value and TRPF from his economic theory.
