Kieran: Miko, you're going to have to search long and hard to back that claim up. ... but you've not seen me post any desire for a country to suffer hard times.
...Go ahead and search, I'll apologize if you can find a single comment to that effect.
If you say so, I am glad to be wrong about that and would rather appologize myself than attempt such a search.
US, and is gleeful about any downturn in the US economy, AND is posting that feeling on a public BBS in the US.
At least he does not live here. I am disgusted with the policies of the socialists that are ruining this country under the guise of two-party system and express quite a glee myself when my predictions of the dismal crash of their schemes happen just like real economic theory predicts.
At the same time I feel quite bad about the country that stands to suffer the consequenses of those policies.
That was true with my old country and is true about this one.
There is a distinction though - in my mind the damage is done when the country gets afflicted with socialists, not when their schemes blow up. Those are just symptoms which can hopefully be noticed in time to start fighting the original infestation.
I would much rather see a major crash, inflation and depression now than later - because the deeper we go, the harder the crash and the more dubious the recovery.
That does not mean I wish bad for this country, just the opposite.
As for crabofix, I am assuming he is thinking along thes ame lines but being an outsider has harder time distinguishing between american government and america as a country.
