Welcome to the third Update of The Republic of Alsdorf ! I hope you enjoy viewing it and I look forward to your commentary . - Alsdorf Times Reports - Alsdorf if finally seeing economic pains and a Heated Political Battle has emerged as the Election gets even closer...The Labor Party is wanting to recapture there loss of support as the Peoples Party tries to march on as a Majority Party...The Interview with the leader of the Labor Party ( Adrien Marcoloni ) went as follows... ( Quote ) The People of Alsdorf need a Strong leader that will stand as a Patriot ...Someone that want clinch at the sign of diplomatic issues...I will not just coward down to the wealthy ! I will stand for all people and make sure Wages are fair and equal! We can no longer trust the Private sector alone .,. Later on the Labor Party released a story as an example of there beliefs ... Meet Lance McCarthy a hard working honest citizen until this... Lances story in His own words....Hello ...I hope it will encourage your vote and beliefs. Once I worked at a Cafe only making minimum wage which is pathetic ! I have two children that will never see the day of college or a fair and quality education... My wife and I have a horrible relationship...In my opinion most of it is do to our strained budget..I don't have healthcare and I'm disgusted that my children miss out on Medical care when they are sick ! One day I was on my way home from work and I started to feel a pain in my chest.I grasped the wheel..Sweat started to poor down my face and I felt as if death was grasping at what little life I have...I passed out and thankfully a fellow citizen called emergency services...All I could think about was how my Children and wife were going to make ends meet...She only makes minimum wage and now I'm not contributing anything...I had a Hart Attack due to stress and low medical standards...I never had the opportunities to go to the doctor..Hell I was happy if my children could go...Now under the idea that I'm not financially creditable I'm not receiving the medical care needed and I will be in poor health from now on...This is my question...Since the Peoples party has had so much control then why the heck don't we have Universal Healthcare a Bill that they support yet never accomplish ! I'm suffering as so many are and nothing is being done ! I'm casting my vote for true reform ...The Labor Party has my support and I hope you consider it as well... As you can see the attempt by the Labor Party is working ...The Nationalist Party is slowly fading away..And the Peoples party is slipping in poll numbers. Here are a few pictures of the Cafe in which Lance worked at... A Picture of the House of Lords and Alsdorf Historic Museum of Arts and Culture to the left. At Night I hope you enjoyed the third update ! More is on the way ...Commentary is appreciated .. Thanks

Originally posted by: Ilikeseattle Most of the countries that used to be communist either collapsed or adopted some forms of capitalism.quote> Only because of interference from outside countries. And even though people say the PRC is now more capitalist I would argue it is Maoism in the form of a different model molded off of the Soviet stamp that is proving to be more successful. Proven fact that former Soviet states are doing better economically than west Europe and North America in this world recession and domino effect. Ukraine, Slovakia, Norway, Czech Republic, Moldova ect...Than say Greece,Ireland,Italy,France,Great Britain and other Euro Zone countries. If you could please give me a explanation to that since former Soviet states do tend to be more socialist. -DoY

Well I just went to my first all gay bar...I even had the guts to sing because they had karoke night... I sung something I always wanted to sing and finally I did. Oh and I got a guys number as well It was so cool....Thats what I sung. Take a walk on the wild side -DoY

Originally posted by: Meg In communism countries, people are not allowed to leave and go somewhere else. Why is that? and how can that be definied as something that "works"? quote> Well, Whenever you create equality the rich must give up something...However if they can just move then what good will that do? You have to insure that they cannot escape there duties. If you give a rich man a single responsibility he can simply take his wealth somewhere else. But if you make it to where he cant then he has no choice but to hold his/her end of the deal. Maybe its not holding people in because it is not working....Maybe it is holding them in to make everything work better. -DoY

Originally posted by: Zelgadis Work hard and spin your wheels. The American dream is a lie. Work hard and get ahead? Nope, it's work hard and spin your wheels. Occasionally someone will "make it" in America with a dream and a song, but those people only give false hope to everyone else who work hard and get nowhere and will never go anywhere. People still try to convince me with a perfectly straight face that a multi-million dollar CEO works harder and therefore deserves 1000X more money than a single mom holding down three jobs just to squeak by. I attended the citizenship ceremony of my boyfriend a few months ago where the presiding judge gave a speech. He spoke of the "Canadian Dream." And in that dream, he spoke of volunteerism, community, and building a happy life. Not once did he mention money. I always knew Canada tended towards the socialist, but there was the philosophy of Canada in a nutshell. It's the reason I love this place so much. It's the reason why I'm becoming Canadian myself. In America, all I ever heard was "me me me me me, money money money money money." Canadians are more like, "Money? Meh. Let's go grab poutine and a beer together, eh?" We are very satisfied with our middle class lives. And I wouldn't have it any other way. ISF quote> See exactly my point....Not just about yourself but about society. Thats a proud thing to be a part of your right. A strong equal class is something to be more proud of than the richest country. -DoY

Originally posted by: Duke87 Originally posted by: Duke of York Yeah, Libertarians are selfish just like capitalist.quote> The ultimate irony here is that calling someone selfish is blatantly selfish. "Selfish", like any other put-down, is applied due to a (selfish) emotional desire to belittle something the speaker does not like. But we've had this discussion elsewhere, no use in repeating it here. You are better to teach self sacrifice for a greater Public wealth and Country.. Maybe that is a key cornerstone there leaving out of the school text books. Maybe teaching Children from there youth about Central public service and duty would be something to think about.quote> And who gets do decide just what "central public service and duty" entails? You will find some very different views on that. No, we can't have public schools teaching children utterly subjective opinion. Parents will rightly object. quote> I do not believe this is a utterly subjective opinion. Actually maybe it is becoming more common in time. But as far as what public service would be like or in the form of...I would say its a easy decision based on one clear path for the country. The difference in capitalism and socialism starts to show when in a capitalist system we have people scrambling to make every penny while they rush with no direction for the country or social structure. However true socialism would lead us into a clear path and direction based off of the principles of national best interest. It may not be the best interest for a few people. But defiantly the actions taken will be worth the end result. -DOY

Yeah, Libertarians are selfish just like capitalist. True socialism makes way for a public labor force to achieve common good and Country wealth. What good does it do to give everyone every little thing they desire when it leads to a weak nation. Nothing...You are better to teach self sacrifice for a greater Public wealth and Country.. Maybe that is a key cornerstone there leaving out of the school text books. Maybe teaching Children from there youth about Central public service and duty would be something to think about. -DoY

Originally posted by: Duke87 An absolutely absurd attack on a common easy scapegoat. "Those evil corporations marketing their junk food to children making them fat!" Yeah, um, news flash... McDonalds has been putting toys in Happy Meals for decades, since long before childhood obesity was a problem in America. How come it wasn't making kids fat before, hmm? Our obesity problem is the result of a cultural shift which is so much bigger than who's marketing what to whom. Telling McDonalds they can't put toys in their meals is a purely cosmetic measure and will change absolutely nothing. quote> Couldnt say it better myself !
