the communist party is still forbidden in the US, right?

Considering there's a legalized American Nazi party I don't see any reason that a communist one should be off limits. To answer the question though, even if there isn't a Communist party there's at-least one minor group pushing the same ideas under a different name.

The EU is one gigantic Socialist machine...

Socialism is about making rich people poorer so that the difference in wealth between the classes becomes smaller.
The EU is about making rich countries poorer so that the difference in wealth between the countries becomes smaller.

^ So what? anything bad about that?

Better live in successful Socialist/Social-democratic Nations such as some Scandinavian countries (Sweden best example) where everyone get a chance in life, than the Capitalist dictatorial regimes were social castes are still lingering, like in the UK.
Nowadays a social apartheid exists in many countries the worse developped country in that field is the UK, you should not be proud of that:

The report shows that the poorest 40 per cent of Britons share a lower proportion of the national wealth - 14.6 per cent - than in any other Western country. This is only marginally better than in Russia, the only industrialised nation, east or west, to have a worse record.
The gap in Britain and Australia is exactly the same as in Nigeria, much worse than in Jamaica, Ghana or the Ivory Coast and twice as bad as in Sri Lanka or Ethiopia.

Comparison with earlier Human Development Reports shows that inequality is growing fast in Britain. The 1991 report ranks Britain around the middle of industrialised countries both for the share of national income that went to the poorest two fifths of the population (17.3 per cent) and for the gap between the richest and the poorest fifth (6.8 times).

Mr Bruno's paper identifies Britain as one of only a handful of countries where inequality is increasingly rapidly. The Human Development Report also highlighted the world's billionaires - observing that the 358 people with assets of more than $1bn were worth more than the combined annual income of 45 per cent of the world's people.

While I'm a huge fan of the Nordic model, I'd hold Norway or Denmark as the best example. They have the economic fairness without the hyper-liberal social polices of Sweden (Which have started to reach levels of lunacy in some areas).

How dare you insult my country. We're not weak. We meet all the requirements. We don't want the Euro to mess us up, that socialist country, and ahem billions of euros, where? We never got your money,b because the soviet union banned us. We're not economically weak, we're stroger than Portugal or Spain. We only were in the communist block, because in 1948 the soviets invaded czech and the ******* UK and the US didn't help Czech and we'e stronger than any other eastern european countries. We don't want the Euro, because all the other countries are making it lower, and we're nor unstable nor economically weak. Also what billions of euros? We never got any, remember? Read your history. Also, the only reason Czech is not as strong as the UK, etc. is because in 1938, you gave Sudetenland to Germany without our permission, and didn't help us even when we had military alliances with France and UK, so us not being as strong as the west is France And Britain's fault. Also if they didn't give Sudetenland we would have been independent, because at that time we had the most modern army. So read up your history

You should calm down, nobody above you insulted your country, and sure as hell nobody called it weak.

Who cares if the world's warming up?

i do hope you're kidding.

I think global warming is natural. Last century was the wettest on record. Temperatures were a lot cooler past few centuries. This is likely the world coming out of its shell and adjusting to normal atmosphere again.

I think global warming is natural.

yeah sure o.O

To be fair, that graph isn't very convincing. It's at 0 and not growing.

CO2 may be rising, something we should definitely check in on, considering we already have an atmosphere congested with lead.

But, the factis your data repeats what i said. It's been colder the last thousand years. It's just warming up naturally. Looking at years before present, it's a natural trend.

It's not natural, but I'm no expert in the field. Here is a better graph

Global Warming is natural. It's just a coincidence. This is actually one of the coldest eras on the planet. In the cretaceous and jurrasic era, antartica was a jungle, the global temperatures were 10C hotter

Well Adam, we were experiencing Pangaea at the time, so Antarctica wasn't at its current location. But yeah.
