Interesting Article in the NY Times today

politics = suckdom

[bedbug]

Left wingers = socialist commie dictators
Right wingers = fascist nazi dictators

Examples? I'm not going to get into any kind of argument on a messageboard, because I'm not that lame. But if saying things like Left wingers = socialist commie dictators , Right wingers = fascist nazi dictators is your way to justify apathy, then go with it. I'm not sure we've ever had a "left wing" president, but looking at the so called "democrats" who have been in office, I don't think I'd call any of them dictators.

duc always finds himself in political hot water around here. seeing as how i have gotten into a debate with him before let me give you my guess as to what his answer is:

left wingers= pol pot, stalin
right wingers= hitler, suharto

here is a good list:

Well, if I have one conviction, it's that I'm not going to argue on a messagebaord

Eeldip is my soulmate. Sike!

You can believe what you want bedbug. I'm just here to amuse you. Errr... more power to ya!

[eeldip]

you shouldnt be afraid to get into an argument here. this is the off-topic off-the-cuff section- designed, in part, for arguments.

duc is a perfectly reasonable guy. he'll throw a few punches, take a few punches, then smile and walk away.


ok... now .... GO

Are too

Are not

Are too, you slime scub-bag good-for-nothing worthless bastard!

But I came in here for an argument!

Oh, I'm sorry, this is abuse. Argument is down the hall to the left.

Bedbug, I hope you cought that reference, because if you didn't, you probably hate me right now.

People are either victims or victimizers. Common wealth. National security. Anything to justify control over people.

I mean, we have a history of genocide on this planet. Each of which based on differing political agendas. In the end, millions get slaughtered.

Don't think it can happen in America?

People tend to vote themselves into socialism by staging revolutions and executing the rich establishment and intellectuals. We've seen massive protests against capitalism. It could happen like the LA riots. It's the mob mentality. This ruling party will own everything so that there would be no greed and envy. There would be only one class... the working class. Remember the communist manifesto? Working men of the world unite. Agrarian slave labor camps and reeducation. Family structures will not exist. The government is father. Supplying every need to the people. Heaven on earth. Utopia.

The scary thing is that left-wingers play on social angst. Inequality. Health care. Redistribution of wealth. Whatever... sounds great to me, but at what cost.

Republicans are in danger of the same and opposite thing. Nationalism. Kill all muslims and blacklist anyone that threatens national security. Same words, different mustache.

Ahhh... I promised myself not to talk about politics. Each time I do, I just want to commit suicide. The world is FUCKED. We just need to pick which hole.

Sorry eeldip and bluepxl. bluepxl is riding that bliss of innocence as long as he can, and I don't blame him.

I just deleted like a page of rant.

Bedbug... the world is great and TapeOp is great. And I'm full of it.

[lokeybloke]

wow. One little article can spur so much debate! I suppose we're still lucky we can do that much. There are deffinately worse places to live, I only hope we're not becoming one. A regime change seems to be one of the few ways to get the impundents "hands out of the cookie jar" - OR - There are no easy answers!

I'm not sure. Is it a reference to the scene in Dumb and Dumber where Lloyd bets Harry he can get him gambling by the end of the day? Not sure how I feel about the prequel ...

It was supposed to be a MOnty Python reference... it was all in good humor.

I have certain theories about the direct negative correlation between the amount of Monty Python references one makes, and the health of his or her social life.

Ha ha, just kidding.
