I support Obama about as much as I support mandatory amputations for every over 18.

As for Anders Breivik...he's anti-Muslim and goes on a rampage that doesn't kill any Muslims. Yep, he's a smart one to follow, boys and girls. Better than that, don't you just love how much tolerance is gained by killing people? This is the way forward, I'm telling you. Freedom for all...so long as you're my race and religion. Absolutely sickening.

I'd rather break bread with someone of a different race and different religion than someone of the same race and same religion that's full of intolerance.

I could be wrong being that I haven`t followed the case closely, but I suspect that Anders Breivik was actually against Islamic Immigration and not neccessarily being against Muslims; and he attacked the people he held responsible for the immigration.

Even if that were the direct objective, the majority of those he killed were 17 and 18 year olds.  Hardly in charge of Muslim immigration.

Our president is a complete fuckng joke, yet he gets re elected 3 times in row. The guy would sell his own mother to enter the fucking Eurpean Union. He constantly gets fucked in Kosovo situation, always doing what damn massons from the west are telling them. Just recently, he recognized that people with ''Kosovo passport'' can travel trough Serbia normally. If thats not the recognition of their independence I dont know what it is.He just spreads his ass and allows a western dick to fuck him and our country with it. And last year, he allowed first serbian Gay pride parade to be done, despite over 20.000 people protesting against it. He than put over 7.000 highly armoured riot controlling cops to protect the gays, as they unleashed thier ''freedom'' and furry on the monarchy and the church by constantly insluting it and throwing rocks at it. How much did the whole even cost, only God knows.But thats ok, its the queer community that goes first, right Tadic? Its not like there 25% of people have no job and the rest are getting paid less than 400 euros a month. You just keep impressing your western overlords.

Hes totally fine with West desotriyng our cultural an traditional values as well as taking our ost holiest land, he is also totally ok having people over in his country, THE SAME FUCKING people that called us barbarics and war criminal maniacs, during the 90's and THE SAME people that bombed our bridges,hospitales, builidngs and trains in 99' (example Joe Bidden). Hopefully, sometimes when our stupid people wakes up  (WE ALWAYS HAD A HISTORY OF CHOSING BAD LEADERS), Serbian Radical Party will get elected someday.

Miloshevic was waaay far from a good leader,Im glad hes gone, but he at least  knew how to say ''No'' and ''enough'' to the western manipulating evil politicians

Intstead of worrying about immigration laws, start worrying about erasing human differences, that stem, first of all, from the cancer that is religion. Humans are not all that different - and everybody's truly the same inside. The true differentiator and source for vile behaviour, policies, and hate is religion. Do you know how to solve Europe's problems? Simple. Get rid of:

1) Islam (easily the worst of the three, sorry VGC but that's what I think - the other two at least adopted to general HUMANITY)

2) Judaism (not much of it goes around, but it IS poison progeny)

3) Christianity (docile by itself, hostile to everyone else, and you are clearly showing it)

These three are the true origin of inter-human hate and isolation, not blood, colour, or the way you speak. And it's not impossible to do, either - look at how communist Russia rampaged through the eastern orthodox church, probably the only good thing to come of the Soviet gov't.

With it will go religious idiocy, which you can easily see manifested within stupid christian rightists and the even stupider sharia laws among other things.

To tell you in my native tongue... без веры, без бога (without faith, without god)


An Israeli person hating religion? Well, now I've seen everything. You shoud be happy that your race has the authority in the Holy Land, not hate people because f it. But I dont see what y post has anything to do with iether religion or imigration laws. I really dont wanna get into another religious war, becuse its just tiring, very tiring. Althou your view of the religion is very wrong.

And thats russian you posted there, not my language. In my sig it says ''sa verom u boga'' which is the opposite of what you posted

I mixed you with the next poster.

And of course it's Russian, you don't have to tell me about my native tongue. However, as I understood you wihout knowing any Serbian, you understood me. That was my point. I know you don't speak Russian over there.

Also, I do not see myself as a part of some kinda authority or race. You shouldn't either.

I can't tell if you deliberately missed my point or not...

The majority of right wing groups in Europe aren't protesting against links with the outside world in the same vein as Japan has, they are opposing immigration.  Japan has virtually no non-Japanese immigration.  Why on Earth would subjectivity be irrelevant in an immigration debate?  There are firm reasons for and against immigration.  It is subjective which side of the coin you come down on, but neither side is factually incorrect.

My point is that Japan only started growingafter it accepted foreign influence. And it's still lagging behubd countries like the US, which often end up importing talented individuals. I also really think you're using a weird definition of the term 'subjective'.

It's pretty straightforward. The Kosovars willed for independence, therefore they should get it, so long as their state guarantees the human rights of its own residents (like i would agree that an independent Kosovo should be bound to respect the rights of the Serbian minority). Those who wish for independence in accordance with established standards of human rights should receive it

Rough translation. That's... an oversimplification to say the least.

 

Don't have anything really to add to the thread for now. Maybe later, but it sure is looking promising.

To be fair, he rectified that oversimplifaction in his next posts.

I know of some of the counter-claims to which you will likely attest, but any idea of an "ancient historical claim," is reasonably bogus, otherwise the Turks could make a claim to come and take you all over again, or the Greeks restoring the laws of ancient Byzantium. Should Russia annex Ukraine, merely because Kiev is a foundational center to historical Russian civilization? Should the Israelis take back the Sinai peninsula, to hold the mountain where God gave the commandments to Moses? What matters are the will of the residents of a given geographical region, and so long as it is shown that they would found a responsible state (that is to say one that would respect the human rights of all its residents and respect its neighbors and not be a geopolitical rabble-rouser), then they should get what they desire.

So long as Kosovo makes guarantees to respect the rights of its Serbian minority, they should in turn have the right to their freedom, as so willed by self-determination

What the hell are you talking about. Turks conquerd Balkans in 15th century and they were defetaed in 19th cenutry. Byzantium was actually Roman eastern empire also won by violence. Serbs have ihnibitaded Kosovo in 7th century AD, way before Albanians even came to Balkans. Learn some propper history before starting an argument like that.Learn the difference between violent conquest and being the first to inhibitate the area. And fun fact, even before the Turks came serbian empire not only owned Kosovo but everything from Belgrade Frotress in the norht to the greek island of Crete to the south  So we should own all tht right? And you know that MOST OF houses, firms and institutions in norhtern and middle Kosovo were OWNE BY SERBS before the war. You are not aware of ethnical cleansing albanians comitte during and beore the war, right? Not to mention, THEY DONT GIVE 2 SHITS ABOUT serbian population on the north. Just 3 days ago, they banned ALL goods (stuf like food and water=) coming to Serbs from Serbia. In fact, the banned ALL merchenides coming from Serbia for Serbs. Thats why we burned thier border stations and killed one of thier policeman and wounded 8 and took over.

To my knowledge, the Albanians inhabited the region long before anyone else did, which is why they're such an ethnically unique people, with a language that doesn't even fall into any of the major language groups, and Wikipedia seems to back me up here now that i checked, though Wiki also sorta backs what you said, that they didn't emerge until around the 15th century as a distinct people, but were descended from the paleo-Balkan peoples, thus probably closely related to the Dorian Greeks, and native to the area long before the Slavs began to show up from out of the east. What would you say of the Hungarians, who probably inhabited Vojvodina before the Serbs took it away from them? The Slavs had to arrive out of somewhere, and there had to be a native people that they displaced in their time.

Your argument regarding infrastucture is fallacious, as if that argument were to hold, then Africa should just default back to Europe. Better-endowed peoples create infrastructure in less well-endowed areas (and thus end up owning that infrastructure that they made), but that has given them little claim to ownership historically

Your latter claim of Albanian atrocities is the most legitimate here. If these claims are true than Kosovo certainly shouldn't be getting a free ride from the West, and this tends to happens to countries we favor, where we look the other way on their sins in their ethnic disputes (my pet peeve has always been how we treat the Georgians like a bunch of saints, despite what they do to the Abkhazians/Ossetians, and don't even get me started on Israel), and should be amended. That is why i have maintained in my argument that Kosovo's right to freedom hinges on its ability to act responsibly as a free state, which includes protection of the Serbian minorities who still legitimately live there

What the hell have you been reading? The first mention of albanians wwas in 11th century, 500 years before Serbs came to Balkans. Albanians are are actually from Caucasus, as the state by the name of Albania can be found on the Caucasus montains in around 600 BC Albanian language actually has similaraties with some of the Chechen dialect langauge on Caucasus. Chechens and albanians share other similaraties as well. The caucasian Albanians (also called Alban, Aghban or Alpan) were a tribe of 26 tribes and ethnic groups, some of the were turkic descent while the majority were Cacasian tribes speaking caucasian langauges 
In 640's Arabs invaded Albania (the state on caucasus) and Jevanshir actually came to ally himself with former enemies the Sassadins. However, because weakend by thier war with Azerbajiains and Byzantium, Sassanian Iran quickly lost. Jevanshir returned back to Albania, preparing for war. Arabs invaded Albania, but it took thm half the century to conquer them. They did so, only by the beginning of the eight century, somewhere around in 705 AD, based on articles by Academician Z.I Lampol'skii and Great Soviet encyclopedia account. So for now, lets look at the 2 facts

1.Arabs invaded Albania (in Caucasus)

2.Year 705 AD

It is know that Arabs settled people from Caucasus in Sicilly (hence why so many Sicilian people have orgins and connections in todays Albania. it is also know that Maniakos used mercenaries from Sicilly to figh the Byzantines in 1042 AD. Now, the first time modern Albanians were mentioned WAS exaclty 11th century. This concides perfectly with the thoery that they came at Balkans at the 11th century Some. scholars say the year was the exact 1042, but the sources are weak for this claim. Now let's move to the genetics.

Genetic Examinations done in 2000 show that predominant haplotype group found in most Albanians is Eu9-Eu10-Eu11, which is found most commonly in Middle East and Cacausus, its basically non-existant to Eurpeans, with the exception of europeans that had contacts with Middle Easterners and Caucasians, such as southern italians and Greeks. As for the DNA analaysis, the Illyrian should be Eu7-l1b. The percent of l1b in Kosovo population  is 2.7% and 17% in Albania(altough I have lost the links to suport this claim as this was done in 2002)

The theory that Albanians were related to the Illyrians was first proposed  by a German historian in 1774. To propagate the connection, the comunist Albanian government adopted a policy ofartificially naming people  with ''Illyrian'' names. There is but a gap of several centuries between the last historical mention of Albanians (and the illyrian tribe of Albanoi) and the later mention of Albanians  and of the names Albanon and Arblanon  to indiate the region.

The place where Albanian language was formed is uncertain, but analyses have suggested that it was a mountainos region, rathern than in a plain seacost.While the words for plants and animals are entirely original, the names for fish and agricultural activities (such as ploughing) are borrowed from other languages. This is rather ridicilous when you considerd Illyria coverd most of Adriatic sea cost.

 

Your second parapgraph, you suggested first that Turks should reclaim whole Balkans and Greeks should return Byzantine. Despite the fact that both Byzantime and Ottomans gaind thier territory by conquest and violence. Both were later defeated and thier territory was takne. Kosvo however, not only was/ is the heart of serbian culture its one of the most important historic lands for Serbs, for it was in Kosovo Polje whee Serbian army clashed with ottomans and where the brave serbian knight Milosh Obelic killed Ottoman sultan Murad I. It was the oly time ver a sultan was killed by a Christian soldiers. Also, Kosovo was the 2nd most holliest site for christian Orthodoxy after Constantinople. The fun fact is Kosovo has been part of Serbia waaay before your contry was even founed by Europeans. Hell, Kosovo was almost part of serbia for longer time than your country was even know in the world.

Third paragraph, you act like western politicians have no agenda in Kosovo situation. What they seek to do, is create as many puppet states as they can which allows them to build military basess on its territory and try be very well prepared in case of war with Russia or China. They have been doing so for the past 50 years and Rusia tried to do simmilar things in Goergia as well. Now, since Serbia is a historical good friend and ally to Russia (but than again, we were allies and firends to the west too, before) we wouldnt allow NATO and other wester forces to build thier bases on our soil and as such, we were became an inconvineice for them, and thus thier enemy. Not to mention many wester countries such as Austria Switerland and Germany have a large population iof Albanian refugees and people and they want them returend to thier ''country'' as soon and as fast as possible

I would like to see your sourcing on those arguments regarding Albanian origin, as Wikipedia paints a very different picture (though the Wikipedia article could be subject to a pro-Albanian agenda, but that would bring this argument too far out of line). The wiki one highlights either a Thracian origin or, yes, an Illyrian one, but says that the philological evidence disproves the "Classical Albania" theory, because Albanian is loosely grouped with Indo-European and much less so with the Caucasus languages. Equally they make a different genetic argument

At the end of the day all these arguments are beside the point, which is ultimately that Kosovo was once part of your country. Was. Isn't now, and the people living there don't want it to be, and so long as these peoples do not prove to be a hostile and dangerous polity, the people living there have more right to do what they want than the people who don't live there anymore

Unless a Serbian majority was driven out of the area in recent decades by the KLA, but even then these questions can get murky, regarding which point in the past we have to draw the line between fiat claims and human rights of self-determination

l looked up on wikipedia, and it doesnt say anything that albanians are descendents from ancient Illyrians, there is just no evidence to support that claim. It only says that territory of Albania was mostly inhabitated by Illyrian tribes, but nowhere does it say that they ae actualy Illyrians. And I already told where I got my information from, look it up a bit closely, I could try to give you some direct links, but some of the mods might find those links offensive to Albanians, just like when someone posts crime or prison statistics in US, people tend to get banned because its offensiv to blacks.

And no shit people in there dont want to be  prt of my country, they hate it and they hate people live in it. Serbs in Bosnia dont want to live in Bosnia, but they cant just proclaim ther independece just because they want so. I see you are a large suporter of every separatist movement and care very little about countriy's soverginity, historical, cultural and religous center of a country. And fun fact, google this : UN Resolution 1244

As for serbian minority in Kosovo, go type on youtube ''Kosovo 2004'' and go on wikipedia and type 2004 unrest in Kosovo (for some reason, I cant post links and videos here) an see how serbs are treated in Kosovo. Than come back and talk about thier freedom

It is silent invasion,my brothers.Silent invasion.Your grandchildren or grandgrandchildren will wake up in muslim UK,muslim Germany,Canada and what not.If you think I am over exaggerating,you should bloody wake up and see percentages and see what is most common name in UK these days.

But maybe,you welcome muslim Europe,that is perfectly OK.Just expect sharia in your life and expect to be street cleaners like christians in Egypt.And you would find more similarity to your nowadays life on Mars then in Islam-controlled country.

The underlined shows you have zero clue as to what you're talking about.

 

@Xen: Your style of thinking is very similar to an Afghani friend of mine (yes, he's also an athiest). Not that I agree with it (In fact, I strongly disagree, as I blame humanity rather than religion), but I can see where you're coming from.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Don't exaggerate. I don't think he intends to exterminate the jewish people.

Also, Hitler was extreme right wing, so your logic is fataly flawed. So was the terrorist in Norway. Any ideology taken to the extreme can end up with a wacko killing hundreds.

Hitler was certainly not a right wing conservative ...

Fascism is a movement based in extreme nationalism and patriotism where the individuals role is to serve the state. Here is a direct quote from Hitler:

"What matters is to emphasize the fundamental idea in my party's economic program clearly -- the idea of authority. I want the authority; I want everyone to keep the property he has acquired for himself according to the priniciple: benefit to the community precedes benefit to the individual. But the state should retain supervision and each property owner should consider himself appointed by the state. It is his duty not to use his property against the interests of others among his own people. This is the crucial matter. The Third Reich will always retain its right to control the owners of property."

Direct points from the policy manifesto or the Nazi's:

9. All citizens of the State shall be equal as regards rights and duties.

10. The first duty of every citizen must be to work mentally or physically. The activities of the individual may not clash with the interests of the whole, but must proceed within the frame of the community and be for the general good.

Therefore we demand:

11. That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.

12. Since every war imposes on the people fearful sacrifices in life and property, all personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as a crime against the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits whether in assets or material.

13. We demand the nationalization of businesses which have been organized into cartels.

14. We demand that all the profits from wholesale trade shall be shared out.

15. We demand extensive development of provision for old age.

16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a healthy middle-class, the immediate communalization of department stores which will be rented cheaply to small businessmen, and that preference shall be given to small businessmen for provision of supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities.

17. We demand a land reform in accordance with our national requirements, and the enactment of a law to confiscate from the owners without compensation any land needed for the common purpose. The abolition of ground rents, and the prohibition of all speculation in land.

 

Fascism was sold as a third way between communism and capitalism, but at its core it only adopts enough capitalism to make it a more effective economy for waging war. The best approximation for what an ideal fascist economy would look like would be to look at state-run capitalism in China, which allows for far more economic and personal freedom than Nazi Germany ever did.

You're using the wrong spectrum. "Authoritarian" and "Left wing" are not considered the same, however, are based in two seperate dimensions. Fascism is indeed authoritarian, but to the degree of Nationalist interests. Therefore, it is known as a right-wing authoritarian ideology, as opposed to Socialism, which is a left-wing authoritarian ideology.

In what way does eliminating profits, socializing industry and providing extensive social programs fall in line with right-wing economic theory?

In fact, in what way do any fascist policies fall in line with right wing ideology?
