UDI is declaring independance unilaterly, that is considered under international law to be illagal (in the case of Rhodesia). supporting that is what Russia has been doing
Yep, and things are just so much better in Iraq now, aren't they?
Actually the Americans didn't do hardly anything for quite some time after Britain and Europe got involved....
and if the USA could learn to accept the fact that not all countries in the world want their version of democracy, then there'd be a lot more national sovereignty. I regard National sovereignty as actually very important.
No, I do not, I believe that it's not any countries job to play the hero. For example, the majority of people in the middle east do not support the idea of western democracy, and I believe it is their right to reject it in favour of something more akin to their culture.
absolutely Taran! Blood for oil, that's all it is.
Indeed, You focus upon the really bad points of socialism, the points that seem to you to make your arguments valid, however you totally ignore a lot of the good things that the bolshiviks actually achieved.
I don't necessarily agree with communism, especially not the way of voolence which Lenin, Trosky and Stalin subscribed to, but I do understand the principles of Marxism and it's just a sad thing that people always get in the way of things like equality.
because, at least to me, it shows that the media were biased toward the people who went into Iraq, because the media tycoon needs to be friendly with the big boys in government.
good.
Like I've stated, it's a matter of national sovereignty, and we all know they didn't do it to get rid of the talaban. If the US were all for getting rid of nasty dictaters, why haven't they attacked Korea? why haven't they attacked Zimbabwe?
Communism is not the enemy here, it's the people who misuse it, there are people who misuse capitalism too.
There are undemocratic non-communist countries too.
The US did not need to go into vietnam, peaceful coexistance can mean ignoring them entirely and not trading with them if they so choose, but, they did not have to conscript thousands of people to fight that war. They did not have to bom villages with chemicals, destroying the lives of people even now just to fight communism. They did not have to send people into a situation which has caused them to be mentally scarred for the rest of their lives just to stop one country from being communist.
and Israel is such a nice country, especially if you're palistinian, they're really friendly!
that's not all it is, you can't reduce the philosphy of Marx to that. It's not just economic, it's social and moral.
bombing the hell out of the West Bank might be a safe answer to that one. Oh, and let's not forget the buildings in Lebanon waving white flags, schools, churches....yep, friendly, like I said.
Oh, and sorry for my slightly tipsy postings last night all.
Unfortunately in England... !

In other words, according to you, Russia has declared UDI in Ossetia and Abkhazia. When asked how Russia had "declared" UDI in Ossetia and Abkhazia, you answered:-
In other words, according to you, UDI is the act of supporting "an illegal declaration of independence" in one answer you give, when in fact it is the act of "an area" declaring itself independent of the "country/state" that it previously "belonged" to, and in another, you also claim it to be illegal under international law.
Neither of the answers you give actually answer the question asked as to how Russia made such a declaration for 2 separate territorial entities. The one thing that your 2 different answers show, is that you have no idea of what you are talking about.
For your information, UDI, (Unilateral Declaration of Independence) is not illegal under international Law, It is almost always "illegal" in the "Country" from which the area making such a declaration wishes to gain its independence from, which is a totally different thing, and internationally irrelevant. (Strange how you site Rhodesia, since it was from Britain that it declared it's independence). Internationally, UDI is "frowned" upon, for the simple reason that if it were not, more "areas" would be doing it. However, many countries exist today after a simple declaration of independence, and are able to continue to exist because other countries have "supported" these "illegal" acts.
The USA, made an "illegal" declaration of independence in 1776, in 1778, the French supported this "illegal" act, 5 years later, even the British joined in with this support. However, according to you, it was still illegal, so it is therefore, presumably still illegal. Would you support the UN and NATO in applying sanctions against this criminal territory? Perhaps you would consider military action to be appropriate? Is it not time for this land of criminals to be brought to book, and returned to their rightful owners, the English? (Sorry, I meant the British)
ilovehelston, do you not think it time for you to actually do a little research into the subjects you wish to comment on?
By research, I do not mean reading the Daily Bullshit gutter press, you know, the ones with headlines like:-
"RUSSIA DECLEARES UDI IN FORIGN COUNTRY"
Or
"INTERNATIONAL MAGISTRATES SENTENCE RUSSIA TO 250 HOURS COMUNITY SERVICE FOR ILEGAL DECLERATION".
Kernow Kensa!
Our day will come!
"Everyone has their own particular part to play. No part is too great or too small, no one is too old or too young to do something."
Going away and coming back, I cannot believe that, on my return, people are STILL taking ILH sufficiently seriously to respond to her in the way that Mr T is doing.
I do believe that ILH is a lad or a group of lads who are deriving enormous pleasure from the amount of times they can get posters to this board to rise to the bait of responding to persistently and self-evidently cretinous comments.
This should be a serious place, where people focus on fanning the flames of Cornish consciousness. There are indeed many good folk here who do just that.
Most of you are in that category, whichever side of the linguistic and political debate you are on.
However, I just do not get the attraction of having this sad little mentalist sideshow called ILH displaying on the C24 stage. I appreciate that one cannot debar them, but must one humour them? If you ignore them, they will eventually just go away.
Just remember this. There are many places – both real and virtual - around the world – in which the mentally feeble (like ILH) can congregate and shake hands with one another, but there is only one C24 for Cornish people. Don’t let it get too contaminated. C24 is such a necessary thing!
It is definitely feeble minded. However this thread is somewhat cathartic in nature, at least for myself.
It is quite refreshing to come and have a pop at some feeble minded cretin who won't lie down. A bit like punching an inflatable 'bobo the clown' punch bag. The idiot will not learn anything, but it is good brain exercise for the rest of us. There is also the off chance that some less dranged idiot might see some sense.
Whilst it might well be that ILH is one of the duller trolls infesting the internet, it is there and is fair game if you feel like troll baiting
And it is only one thread. Whilst it is trolling around here it is not focussing its brain cell in anyone else's direction. I have to admit though, I was getting bored again as we head around for our third circuit of history. But you are right, I suppose I should go and do something more constructive.
Because American style democreacy fails to take into account Islamic culture. Now, in a country that is majority islamic, tha'ts a big problem.
1. One of the first countries to proclaim men and women equal was Russia under Lenin.
2. set an 8 hour working day.
3. Public education was introduced.
And that isn't all, but these are some of the important ones.
errrr what? Palistinian areas are under the control of Israel.
Unfortunately in England... !

What is Islamic culture? Headscarfes, women not having political power?
Public education was introduced in Scotland by John Knox, Jesus declared us all equal, not Lenin. Is Christianity a good way of living life?
Palestinian areas are not under the control of Isreal. Gaza is free and independent and ruled by Hamas. West bank palestine is independent and ruled by Fatah
Jesus may have declared women equal, but he had no power behind it. Lenin didd.
Christianity has some wonderful values and teachings, it's just a pity to me that all those teachings seem to involve worshiping some sort of god figure and believing all this strange stuff about heaven and hell to go with it.
The israeli government is responsible for some of the most horrific crimes against the palistinian people, just like it is responsible for military atrocities all over the middle east. that was my point really.
Unfortunately in England... !
