Slam has become the synonym for the simple phrase "Responds to" in political discourse. I refuse to use it in a title if an article does. It's not fucking professional wrestling, one group didn't slam the other and pin them.

A spokesperson for the 'Yes Campaign' said in a statement that [b]"unlike people in China, people here will have a free and democratic vote on 18 September when they will decide on the future of their country. We believe that decision will be yes."[/b] During a joint press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron on 18 June, Li said he wants to see a "strong, prosperous and united United Kingdom". "I believe that the United Kingdom can stay at the forefront in leading the world's growth and development and also continue to play an important and even bigger role for regional stability and global peace," Li continued. "We certainly respect the choice you make."[/quote]

[QUOTE=Pyroknight;45143074]China isn't even really Communist anymore[/QUOTE] Pretty much they're Syndicalists at the moment. The party owns the corporations and such.

[QUOTE=The mouse;45142852]They could have made that less awkward.[/QUOTE] It probably sounded better when spoken. I think it would be fine with the right emphases.
Like after the guy said it he must have been like, "SHOWN THEM HA" Yeah don't fucking shitalk the people who buy your oil.

[QUOTE=Vasili;45146162]*Buy the United Kingdoms oil[/QUOTE] Not according to Alex Salmond.
[QUOTE=Sableye;45144473]coulda fooled me with the very opaque party picked 10 year governments but ya they're a ways away from a ballot box[/QUOTE] China really isn't communist in any way. It's heavily authoritarian yes. But generally speaking it's very capitalist. They have some remnants of yearly plans, but overall?
Basically a transitioning Syndicalist Oligarchy.
[QUOTE=Sableye;45144473]coulda fooled me with the very opaque party picked 10 year governments but ya they're a ways away from a ballot box[/QUOTE] Communism has nothing to do with the voting system tho?
[QUOTE=Sableye;45144473]coulda fooled me with the very opaque party picked 10 year governments but ya they're a ways away from a ballot box[/QUOTE] That's not communism. Communism if a form of economy, not government.
[QUOTE=TornadoAP;45146481]That's not communism. Communism if a form of economy, not government.[/QUOTE] Capitalism is a form of economy. Communism deals with both economy and government.

Hellfire sermons, Pokemon is the devil, Walmart churches, and pay your way into Heaven. Might be mixing them up with Baptists a bit, but I'm not sure.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;45158198]Way to negatively stereotype. I suppose all Muslims are suicide bombing terrorists, too?[/QUOTE] I don't need to negatively stereotype religions. They do the work for me. They promise people paradise for subservience.
