    Redleg, you know better than to expect anything but a sarcastic post from me.

    To be fair though, the best argument which would carry weight with me, in terms of arguing against Chavez, would be his relationship with certain aspects of the Columbian drug lords and the FARC rebels - though that is still tenuous.

    Anyway lads.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    I dont expect a racist post from you though however, given that you claim to be a liberial.

    Unless of course your desire is to continue to demonstrat that most of Europe is far more racist then any in the Americas, just like Tribesy in demonstrating with his post.

    I guess both you and tribesy have a problem with brown skin.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    Not at all. Just pointing out the inherit racism in the humor that you and Jag are doing. What is amazing is if someone from the United States stated exactly what you two did - both of you would of been saying racism also.

    That you have resulted to personal insults demonstrates that my statement has some truth in it. Why else the personal jab in response to the observation that the joke is indeed a racist one?

    I'm beginning to suspect that this thread has run its course.

    If anyone wants to get back to topic, feel free, but further beastliness will bring down the lock.

    Is it time for this topic again , after all Venezuela is proposing another nationalisation .
    So perhaps it would be best to clear up some of the crap from this last topic first .
    Lets start by looking at the legal cases Exxon brought , cases according to some which somehow had merit .

    Now if these cases that so far have been dealt with had merit how comes Exxon not only didn't win them , but got saddled with Venezuelas legal bills too ?

    Is that a sort of indication that the nationalisation clause in the contracts(pre-Chavez contracts) Exxon signed was kept to .



    But anyway , onto the new proposed privatisation .
    Cement , gypsum and aggregates .
    Is this a case of...
    Acrazy dictator doing an asset grab to annoy the mexicans ?
    Ba government exercising soveriegn rights over mineral extraction and export ?
