| Message | Not a long time ago Pantheism Capitalistic Party voted for the current bill about the nation's defence Industry.Why do you want to change it ?That is what you said: Date 01:28:38, October 15, 2007 CET From Pantheism Capitalistic Party Fine. One only needs to see the fiasco with the recent Blackwater mercs in Iraq to see that a private defense firm often doesn't have the level of profesion behavior as government forces. Corporations shouldn't be trusted with all our developments. We need to keep a competetive edge over other countries. If we simply buy what the Assualt Rifle company produces our army will only be on the same level as other countries that can simply buy the same thing. The atom bomb was created by the USA government and gave them the winning stroke neccessary for WW II. |
