Personally, I've given into the superior tactics of the Bush administration. I have a general contempt for anything French and I'm still actively seeking an "I(HEART)WAR" button to show my patriotism. But I have 2 problems with things I've read. A: Fleshy, SEARCHING FOR ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ENERGY? SEARCHING?! ARE YOU INSANE?! There are many alternative energy sources in the world: wind, solar, nuclear, you can run your damn car with small amounts of diesal and soybeans with just some slight engine modifications. The reason it seems like it takes so much time, money, effort, etc. is because that's what the oil companies want you to believe.
B: Communism is, in theory, the most effective and fair form of government. Everything is equal. However, in practice, it sucks. As Churchill said "Communism is the equal sharing of hardships" (I can't remember the exact words).
That's just something I wanted to point out. | | |

second of all: communism in theory is a totally ridiculous idea. you can quote Churchill all you want, but it doesn't change the fact communism has and will never work on a large scale. the whole idea of everyone getting the same amount of money for different jobs is just plain bullshit. if you work harder than some other guy you should get paid more. if your job requires more skill and schooling than some other guy you should get paid more. that is why communism is crap. it is NOT fair and definitly NOT effective. if that were true, don't you think more countries would be completely communist? yeah.. they would. but the truth is that it can't work. not even in theory.

Holy [censored], if you are that [censored] up and do believe what you are saying, I can see why the US is such a [censored] up, violent culture. All you have been talking about is saving $5 here and there and being greedy [censored]. Ever think about the people being killed in Iraq and around the rest of the world because greedy people like you want to save a few dollars. Most people havn't even mentioned the fact that the war will kill thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians. US greed baffles me. And fleshy, Communism means that everyone does the most and best work they can and receives what they need, not all equal. If I need this amount of money to live properly, I get it, if someone else needs a different amount, they get it and everyone works to their fullest capabilities. And it's true, it is the fairest form of government in my opinion. | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 536 Likes: 1 Member | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 536 Likes: 1 | hahaha. yeah yeah. i still hate communism and will never believe it is 'fair'. but here's the deal.. you give me one instance where communism has worked on a large scale. i mean, really worked that way it was intended to, and i'll take back what i said about it. but see, i know you can't give me even 1 example. why? because it has never and will never work.

It hasn't worked out, and will not work out. I could give out a large list of examples why communism will not work, and try to change others opinion, because I lived in a communist country for 7 or 8 years when I was little, until we had a revolution and killed that [censored] sonofabitch dictator.
And if anyone thinks communism is great, and thinks communism can work, I recommend them to take a trip to North Korea, and live there for a couple of months. | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,136 UGN Elite Poster | UGN Elite Poster Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,136 | Jesus, will you guys just shut the [censored] up? You're all saying the same thing, for the most part. Mornse is saying that it's good in theory, but doesn't work. And the rest are saying it sucks because it doesn't work. So see past your own views and realize that you're all saying pretty much the same thing. | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 536 Likes: 1 Member | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 536 Likes: 1 | alright.. even if it did work i'd still hate it though. i'm not saying it sucks because it doesn't work. i'm saying it sucks because of the whole belief system behind it. i don't really care if it works or not.

I have a dog and his name is Cobi. He's seriously a really cool dog. He's a beagle, and he's really cute, but more than that, he's cool. All he ever wants to do is play though... and he likes to wrestle a lot. He always brings me his toys and wants to play tug of war, but pulls the toys away as I reach out at them, so before I can grab them. He's a funny little fella. He sleeps all day while I'm at school, doesn't move from his chair, and then is completely hyper when I get home. So we go outside and play for half an hour or so, sometimes longer, until he gets somewhat tired. Then I go in and watch ESPN or CNN and eat some cereal, while he lays on the couch with me with his head in my lap. Some dogs are cool, but Cobi is waaaay cool.

[censored] it. i love pollution. yummmy. smog filled lungs are what i want.
