Islamic States of America v Union of the Socialist States of America

[Colin]

I'd be better off getting political asylum in a safe country methinks

Make that two! I'm going with Al!

Make that three!

What's teh difference between an American strip mall and a communist apartment block?

In the capitalist system you have a choice to go elsewhere if you don't like the store or the products it sells - communism has one set of products, one set of stores, no choice whatsoever.

Um.. where would I go to avoid strip malls in the US?  The place is nothing but a sea of bad architecture and repulsive chains.  But I suppose by leaving the country I'm excersizing choice.  Alas, I fear that the whole world will be Walmartized and Americanized before I die.

Option 1 is the superior of two not so good choices.

Do you want women to cover from head to toe and not know what they look like?

Do you want to live in a shitty tenement and stand in long lines for bread?

Ay least I'll know who is hot and who's not. Not to mention that women can show off much more than they could in an islamic state.

You're just lazy, they're actually pretty easy to find if you bother looking around. Hell, you have tons of resources to look in, the internet included, to find other stores.

Something tells me you won't care about sex so much when you are worried about whether or not you'll be getting enough to eat.

People have plenty to eat in Cuba. Would you rather live there or Saudi Arabia?

[Jake]

An American living in Saudi Arabia would live better than one in Cuba.

Which is why Cubans are constantly risking life and limb to get over here.

Admittedly though, if I had to live in a communist country, Cuba would be my choice(they are probably the 'least' communist, plus the good weather offsets the usual inefficiency in food production).

No, China is the "least communist", especially considering it's not really communist at all.

Cubans flee for reasons that have other to do with food. No matter what, I'd consider Cuba a better place to live than any Muslim country. I think most women would agree with me.

If I was a woman I'd rather live in Turkey than Cuba.

I don't think a Kurdish woman would though.

I don't think a Kurdish woman would though.

So? I'm not Kurdish. Personally, I think a Kurdish woman would want to live in a Kurdish area rather than Cuba.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

you're not a woman either, it's all just hypotheticals. The only Muslim country that could be considered truly free is Albania, and there you would have a much higher chance of starving than in Cuba. The question was really Cuba vs. Saudi Arabia though, where you pick there?

Scoialist by a long shot.
