| Welcome to Pokemon Adventures! You are currently viewing the forum as a guest. If you're thinking of joining, I feel the need to note that this is a discussion forum, and not some kind of online Pokemon game (as awesome as that would be). We get tons of members getting this confused, and we certainly wouldn't want to waste your time if this place isn't what you were looking for. You might also find that the activity level is rather low around here. This is mostly due to lack of new members that stick around. I'm sure if we had a few more, all the many members would eventually come out of hiding. Why not sign up and stay for a while. Who knows? You may be surprised. Click here to join! |

I agree, it would be awesome. We would have to beef up security because this will make it easier for drugs to flow into the country, from both borders. Does the whole article mention anything about a common currency though? It would make things easier, just like in Europe they have Euros. Of course, Canada. Mexico, and the United States, are not such a large quantity as the larger number of countries under that European Agreement thing (excluding England). It could bring about a "golden age", at least here in North America. |

I'm speechless. That scares the heck out of me. Sounds a lot like the Soviet Union and communism. And we already know that doesn't work. Communism, a world with no bounds, it all sounds so nice and happy. But this is an imperfect world. It does not work. It will not happen until we reach heaven. How many dictators have desired such goals? Are we so foolish that we want to repeat the mistakes which we have made previously? Edit: Btw, I do not believe Giuliani and Romney support this cause. I would have to recieve info from a reliable source to be convinced of that. Also, after thoroughly watching it, it is clear that this video is simply a negative campaign add supporting Ron Paul. I doubt all aspects of its accuracy. I would not believe anything you see on Youtube with out further research. |

We put dictators and communism in a bad bad light anyways, because of Hitler, Lenin...all those guys. Or maybe we'll go to a feudalistic age! That would be terrible, lol. |

Nah, it's because the media is only educated on a high school level of history, and learn that communism was a "bad thing". No one ever thinks about reading third party books... or reading for starters. L| |

This is just the start of the One World Government that the Bible mentions for the End Times, but seeing as I am the only one on PA that believes that we are in the End Times...this discussion on my part could continue in the Christianity Category.

You bet we are. It doesn't work. No maybes. It just does not work. It's terrible and it messes everything up. It's been proven and not believing that is as ridiculous as not believing the laws of physics.
"One nation under God." It's in the constitution. It's what has made us great. It's the reason we've been a success. You can denny it all you want, but it is a fact. Take God out of America and we lose our greatness. |

Ooooh, oh no, our greatness will be lost! *Sigh* Things will fail eventually...like the US, because we arent perfect and God will not help us. Oh and just because "one nation under God" is in our constitution doesnt mean it is a reason for us to be great, we single ourselves out so we are a nation that is more powerful than everyone. A selfish nation that just happens to help people, at least we have that small thing. Communism could work, but it just happens to never work, thats why you say that, lol. |

I don't really care if you choose to hold these beliefs. It just seems those views are always really negative. I prefer to be optimistic and believe life is something more. Regardless of all the philosophical arguments supporting my beliefs, I just all around feel much more positive believing in God. It's up to you though. I just wish you'd try it some time. You'd be surprised how much more peace you'll find inside yourself. eh..I'm sorry, I didn't mean to preach.......

Communism has nothing to do with religion in it's purest form. |

Communism has been proven to not work economically. In the end, everyone often turns our poor and starving. The inherent problem is that everyone shares everything with everyone else. Well, if you know that when you work hard, you will not get to keep what you worked for, why should you work hard? Why would I take years of my life to earn a degree and get a high-paying job if everything I earned would be automatically given away to other people? What would be my motivation? This is a major problem with communism. Other issues are that someone needs to be "in charge" of the system to take care of the task of distributing things equally. This is a easy setup for a dictator to step in. Another major issue is that since everything HAS to be shared equally, ANYONE who decides to keep something for him/herself, is automatically ILLEGAL. Therefore, no one can own ANYTHING without being an outlaw. It all belongs to the government. This, of course, easily eliminates religious freedom, which is absolutely essential. Since the government owns everything, they can easily disband any churches that do anything the government doesn't like. In short, communism has been proven to be associated with the lack of religious and personal freedoms. For your reference, I suggest you watch the "Commanding Heights" video that is available at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/...tory/index.html I'd be sure to watch episode 1, but feel free to watch all 3. They are worth the time. |

Well, this is what I disagree with. For a person who is against the media distortion, I thought you'd be on the ball with this topic. Even though Russia and China failed with communism, that doesn't mean other nations and tribes have. The first form of real communism that has been recorded was in the Bible. The first few Christians lived together under the earthly rule of communism. They shared everything and were not in want. I defiantly believe that communism in it's purest form is a good thing. Just because we want a little more food on the plate doesn't mean we need it. |
