If you are afraid of having your sincerely held beliefs (which does not mean they are true in any way) dismissed or critiqued, then you came to the wrong place. If you want like minded people to pat you on the back and say good job, there are many conspiracy boards on the net where you can have a powow.

When my ideas or views get rediculed and they do, I either accept the criticism or I defend it, I do not get bent out of shape that some one dare dismiss my views or not agree with me. Sorry, wrong place for that.

Again, yes I insulted your beliefs as ludicrous, I did not insult your sincerity. If you want the truth, I pity that you put so much effort into so much fantasy instead of using it more productively.

They suffer under the yoke of Communism, albeit under new and deceptive labels.

Riddle me this...have you ever been to Russia? I have, on numerous occassions, last time being last year. If Moscow and the Russians are under communism, then NYC is even more so, because a more capitalist, commercialized and for that matter religious place you won't find anywhere in Europe.

Quit trying to sound all high and mighty. I don't mind honest debate. I'm even ok with sarcasm (as long as it doesn't become too personal). But what I am not ok with is constant ridicule to the point where it becomes a continual flame session. You think I'm wrong, I think your wrong. But you don't see me camparing you to a Jew-hater. Nor do I imply that you hate Russians even though you deny they are still trapped under Communist tyranny. I also didn't compare you to those who believe in little green men, or insinuate that you should put tinfoil over your head to filter out damaging intergalactic brain-waves. I think people like you constantly flame others because it's easier than having to put together a cogent argument and defend it. You can just move on from silly comment to silly comment without having to stake a position on anything. All flamers have to do is think of new ways to say "you're crazy." Don't get me wrong, I have had a few knock down, drag out slam-fests on this site. But I realized all it does is generate a temendous amount of heat and virtually no light. That doesn't suit my purposes because I am here to get the word out on serious subjects.
