You're trying to make it all look black and white, but it isn't. Capitalism is as same is communism, the only difference is where the borders are put. Communist decided to categorize oil, bread and couple of other products as of 'vital importance' so that they could control their prices, because they were afraid that some opportunists and monopolists would use advantage of it in a postwar apocalyptic environment. A big deal.
Everything is defined by the law, and you can't do much even in a capitalist country. Real 'evolutionism' would be a Conan Barbarian society. The only difference between capitalism and socialism is where they put the final boundaries, and it depends on how much are they afraid on loosing their ground. US is full-mouthed with human rights all around the world, but when their ass is at stake, then Guantanamo is totally OK. Same as Gulag if you ask me. So did Soviets did with their 'enemies', so do Americans, and so do everyone, and always will. In fact I'm sure US did that before Guantanamo came out in public. So, there is no need to lie ourselves about it.
It's really sad, but lately I have a feeling that all the progress that was done by our 'civilized' world was done for war purposes, and that only after surpassed, those technologies were given to the commoners.

If you had looked at the demographic composition of Serbia, you would have noticed that there was about 20% of minorities here since 1948, and that number never significantly drop down. Only time there was a major refugee crisis was during the NATO bombing.
If you cared to take a look on Kosovo demographics by ethnic group, you would have noticed the rise of Albanian minority from 500.000 up to 1.5 million in a period from 1948-1991. Those numbers say everything about how they were treated in Serbia.
And I really don't know what are you talking about Serbian aggression. I don't remember Serbian troops in other countries.
You're constantly diverting this conversation and trying to address me, my feelings, my country, my mental state or whatever. I don't think it's a good thing to make a rhetoric attack on a person or bygone deeds of some of his friends/compatriots just because you don't agree/like his opinion on some subject.
BTW, you're news agencies are indeed so biased and censored that you would need to break away from it, and read some literature that could give you a real info about the situation in the region.
Well, I wouldn't like it any other way than this. I'd like to have China, and Russia and Greece, and Norway, and Brazil, and everyone else the way that they want to be.LeBrok said:
