No shit. To compare an insane dictator in a country with a long and battered history of people being screwed to a country founded by people trying make a more level playing field is a little skewed. Totally different aims. Communism(which by the way, was not what happened in the USSR, or anywhere else for that matter) and liberalism are not even in the same area code. Liberalism and Conservatism are both measured, appropriate responses to our prevailing system of government. Extremism, in any form, is not. If anything, the more fundamental disagreement is between libs and conservative types and libertarians. Quote
AlpineK Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) Scott, I think you are young and clueless and so are your politics. I'm sure your poitics can be molded in much the same way as that Mohammed guy molded Lee Malvo's(sp?) shooting skills. Maybe you and Fairweather should go for a road trip. I do know how to spell more and the Edited December 10, 2003 by AlpineK Quote

scott_harpell Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Alpo, I think you are a product of antiquated political thinking. If you are content with your two-party system, then that all the more proves my point. It was clear I was joking about the Stalin shit and if you can't see that, you are even more blind than I thought. Quit huffing your bio-diesel. Quote

Really? then why are the president, vice president, senators, and members of the house either dems or repubs? (maybe 1 or 2 exceptions) The vast majority of Governors are repubs or dems, and I'm having a hard time thinking of any one elected in the state of WA who isn't either a dem or a repub. Quote
AlpineK Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) BTW I'm a left liberal. Scott will support the political party of anyone who acts as a father figure to him. "Son,", "Yes father,"... Edited December 10, 2003 by AlpineK Quote

Happy? While I'm very happy, with regards to my political leanings I'm merely reporting what the Libertarian test said about me. Many of the political systems are in theory lovely to live in, but only if you leave the nasty selfish self important chestbeating human species out of the equation. None of the real world attempts to achieve socialism have included any reverence for individual freedoms, therefore they're not really left-liberal, are they? To put things in an overly simplified Michael Moorcockian universe, life is a struggle between Chaos and Law, and supremacy of either side is doom for us humans trapped between pure ideals. Everything is a lot grayer than you think, Scott. Quote

Dru, is this a quote or a personal revelation? I'd have to say it's as great an analogy to explain Stalin as any I've heard. Quote

I'd like to point out that your examples merely suggest that he can't type, rather than spell. Teh must be one of the most "misspelled" words in the computer world. Got it, cheif? ( ) Quote
