For cryMRU...

A great quote by one of my favorite bloggers, Joel Johannesen of ProudToBeCanadian.ca...
My own topic heading reminded me of the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (the U.S.S.R., now better know by its constituent parts like Russia and the Ukraine), and how (through their state-run media) they kept explaining to their people and to the world their economic failure, year after year for over 75 years, as being a result of “crop failures” and “poor weather for harvesting crops” and such. Deception worked very well for them in many ways, before President Ronald Reagan finally won the cold war and an entire nation literally collapsed as it should have.
"Crop faiures" and "poor weather" has harvested banner years of North Korean food aid, eh cryMRU...

Is this an argument? Or is it just a random rant that adds to nothing?

No, it's just a great quote...

"Or is it just a random rant that adds to nothing?"
I always thought that's what blogging is...
I happened to notice you don't have much to say about the post...

Don't worry about it anyway cryMRU. North Korea had a banner rice harvest this, supposedly. I guess all that "bad weather" finally broke for them. Supposedly.

What I was getting at was that you have already said the same things as this guy has, and we have debated it: all this post does is put it in someone else's words! That's why I was wondering why it was directed at me.

Cool thanks.

"and we have debated it:"
I see it like this:
You started the debate, I finished it...

"I was wondering why it was directed at me."
I thought you would like it...
Apparently I was wrong.

HAH! that is one of the funniest things I've heard.

Give me any evidence of any argument you;ve finished here with me.
