Zotted Trolls Love Socialism is the best form of government (and here why)

[hand out love all]

Socialism is best because under socialism. No one has to worry about being poor or starving to death. No one is poor, unemployed, discriminated, everyone is equal reguardless or race or creed. Today such ideas are condemned as evil. Any attempt to protest against slavery and genocide and human rights violations are met with the cries of COMMUNISM! By the religious right and then they conjure up stories about Stalin, Gulags, tortue, police state etc. So therefore we must stick with the current system of sweat shop slavery, poverty and racism while rich people who already have all they will ever need in life continue to thrive off our blood sweat and tears.

CAPITALISM KILLS:

Amazing how they criticize socialism and incorrectly lump Socialism with communism especially when capitalism has murdered more people than any other ideology. One forgets how capitalism starves the poor, about how beggars are thrown in jail, how native indiginous populations are exterminated so the rich can make an extral million bucks! They dont mention about how they control and oppress the people and how the masses are enslaved 48 hours a day in big factories so the rich can make money. They dont talk about women being abused and mistreated and discriminated. The Ku Klux Klan were Capitalists, the Nazis were capitalists, Augusto Pinochet was a capitalist, Ronald Reagan, Pol Pot, Queen Victoria, Columbus, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Pat Buchanan, the pope, Osama Bin Laden and the terrorists they are all capitalists. Why dont we scream about the ills of their "system" of whatever!

COMMUNISM VS SOCIALISM

There is a big difference between socialism and communism. Communism is where the state controls everything. This is very similar to capitalism. The state controls the lives and destinies of everyone. Under socialism, everyone controls everything and everything belongs to everyone. We dont need to worry about stealing or going hungry or any of that stuff.

You might say, but hey! Who is going to have to work and whats the incentive for work?

Well of course that is somthing else but not to worry! Everyone will be working rich and poor. The workers however will decide everything and we can let the filthy stinkin rich worry wome other time. Everyone will have a job and be paid lots of money. I propose a minimum wage of $20.00 an hour for all workers. A maximum hour work week of 30 hours in a 8 day work week. Every company must hire unemployed workers reguardless of age sex race creed or education and we should also have an education system run by the people who will decide as a whole what to learn and if all else fails, we should can the rich and redistribute their weatlh. dont worry. They have plenty more where that comes from ;) YES! SOCIALISM! IT IS THE BESTEST GOVERNMENT EVER! I CANT WAIT! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

I thought you marched to a bagpipe ("different" would be a bit redundant, yes?) ;)

Sometimes I'm the bagpipe(r).

"Different" and "sionnsar" are sometimes redundant but not always. When my cultural milieu wheeled sharp left, I kept on straight.

I was thinking of something like:

[sionnsar]

For that matter I haven't seen this kind of activity on a UT for quite some time.

A new monthly home will do that.

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

We've got a couple of those here, and I can tell you for sure that dynamite comes in small packages!

I'm glad you're feeling better. I have to go buy some cider tomorrow...mine is still in storage. Somewhere...

Oh good grief. I know they're long gone, but his illiterate screed is missing something:

Don't forget the Joooos. Don't you pay attention?

Sheesh.

"Socialism is the BESTEST ever!" Who wrote this, My Little Pony?

Did you steal that from Treebeard?

Here's a volcano. We need a volcano.

"Mount St. Helens, the official volcano of the Undead Thread"^TM?

Love it!

[Monkey Face]

We don't care who wrote it...he's dead, we paved him and now the thread is ours for the next month!

Welcome to the Flying Castle! (aka: Undead Thread)

Bars and kitchens are open 24/7.

.I went from DSL to dial-up in a place that's so small it only has one phone jack...I can only do one thing at a time, and if there are a lot of graphics, it's a L-O-N-G time...

I used to tell young programmers about what it was like in the old days with accoustic couplers and 300 BAUD (30 bits per second). And we were HAPPY (since we didn't have to drive into work at midnight).

[freedumb2003]

Don't forget the Joooos. Don't you pay attention?

JJ Fate. Inadvertantly a part of Freeper Lore. Sort of like a thread-posting version of "The Extra." (I guess I am in a movie mode tonight).

No way -- see what he does to people he gets mad at?

Just before we sporkweaseled, Dead Corpse idly mentioned not knowing where the "exits" were.

So, herewith a public service technical aside.


In the event of an emergency, alarm klaxons will sound, and all tube transport will be redirected to the Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactor/Rocket Engines (the Shuttles) which are our emergency evacuation devices. (On-Duty emergency repair technicians and flight crew will have override command codes to be able to reach duty stations to deal with the emergency.)

Our best estimates for the time required to totally evacuate all habitats is under thirty-five minutes. Your first duty upon reaching your evacuation shuttle is to log in to the computer network and to make yourself comfortable.

If it is determined that the worst of all possible scenarios is at hand, and none of the habitats can be salvaged in any manner, we will complete the evacuation of the the Flying Castle, and begin limping our way back to Earth, a rag-tag flotilla of ... (darn, how does that Battlestar Galactica spiel go?)

That's where the exits are.

Igor was a Techhie at Houston during the space mission heydays. Our cell phones have more capabilities than the entire Apollo craft did.

Yah...it's an improvement. I need to count my blessings (slow internet) instead of complaining (no internet.)

I'm sorry guys...*blushing*

[sionnsar]

It's an awesome sight, especially looking into it from Johnston's Ridge.

Hmmm... It's been a while, and I now have some "new" digital cameras. Maybe it's time for a drive...

[Monkey Face]

Yes, but he's never hasty about it.

[sionnsar]

I remember him in The Naked City. (That was when he had hair.)

Ummm.... no comment.

[freedumb2003]

Last time I ran to the Emergency Shuttle, there was a Circus Bear in there.

[sionnsar]

Don't forget the Joooos.

Yah, we had something like that on one of our early threads...

[Monkey Face]

Hi, Bob!

Glad you could make it! How are you feeling? The move wasn't too stressful for you, was it?
