Yes, I am sure you have access to dictionary.com but a). that's not a good source and b). looking a word up and UNDERSTANDING the definition are completely different.

You have already proven on other threads that you have absolutely no knoledge of the two terms.

YOU'RE

You know nothing. We've been over this already.

Just so I can see your cool one line replies, let me ask you:

1). How and why is capitalism better than communism?

2). What is the definition of communism?

3). What is the definition of socialism?

4). Who would have the power under a communist society?

5). How often do you huff paint?

@ DUBBC415 and bayGIANTS : Iraq had to QUALIFY for the olympics. Iraq made the olympics by beating other middle-eastern teams (i forget). Each country are put into groups depending on each region they're from, and the winner of the groups go to the olympics, i.e. Iraq. Where I'm from, Iran, failed to win their olympic qualifying group, so they aint in the olympics. So, the war doesn't really mean shit if we are talking about how Iraq made it to the olympics. Plus, they beat Australia in the round of 8, so the Iraq team aint no joke either....

mattjoke, I suggest you delete your post because it has absolutely nothing to do with anything anyone said.

and as for communism, it is a great idea in theory but in actuality it causes everyone to be only as good as the worst person. it tries to make equality and in doing so it allows the slackers to get by just as well as the hardest worker. with communism, you have absolutely no reason to work hard.

Every country has the right to try to qualify for the olympics regardless of their situation. Maybe you guys missed MY POINT: BUSH, NOR AMERICA, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SUCCESS OF IRAQ'S SOCCER TEAM. IRAQ DON'T GET A FREE PASS BECUZ AMERICA IS FUCKING UP THEIR COUNTRY. This is entirely relevant to this post, and to what you guys said. If you know I'm right and don't have a response, just don't say anything.

im not gonna argue, im just gonna post this.

there are two sides to everything. and by the way, im not against the iraqi team or anything, so dont play that fucking card.

http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/0804/12olyiraq.html

None of the current Iraqi Olympians endured Uday's torture, but they know of it. Last month, there was an exhibit in the Baghdad stadium to display Uday's torture tools, including whips and a casket with spikes on the inside. Some athletes received electric shocks, some were forced to leap from a platform into a pool of human waste.

anyone remember that? Uday Hussein, who used to torture the athletes if they lost? where is he now?

"Before, if you made a mistake or lost, you'd get punished. Now, soccer players can play the way they want. He can shoot and miss and not be afraid." said Tiras Odisho Anwaya, director general of the Iraq National Olympic Committee.

This is true Uday used to do some fucked up shit, but he does not justify the tens of thousands of dead innocent Iraqi’s and Bush using the soccer team in his ad to promote his murderous ways.

"Iraq as a team does not want Mr. Bush to use us for the presidential campaign…He can find another way to advertise himself."

true, true, not in any comparison. my only point was that there is another side to it. but yeah, Bush and the civilian casualities only make their soccer team's triumph that much more victorious and prideful.

the US overwthrowing saddam and his sons allowed the iraqi's to compete in the olympics without being threatened woth torture and violence. what I was saying had absolutely nothing to do with the steps you take to qualify. obviously they still had to qualify on their own merits but they were given the freedom to do so by the US. that is why I disregarded mattjokes statement. it was pointless and stated the obvious
