My hat is off to F-G.

Also when is anyone in America going to realize how radically different Socialism and Communism are?


When public schools start teaching this. (aka never.)

anyone in America
*ahem*

Actual answer: Maybe when the last of the cold-war era paranoia wears off? Dunno, I'm not a product of that era so I can't say.

EDIT: It's also worth noting that most asshats have both of those systems mixed with Fascism in their head.

I get the difference. I am in America. (And to boot I went to an extremely liberal college where everyone there thought that communism (not socialism, COMMUNISM) was AWESOME and a SUPER-GREAT-IDEA that would totally work in practice. uh.

Aren't ALL colleges in the USA (that don't have a saint or Bible it its name) supposedly super liberal dens of immoral decay?

Pretty much, yeah. Look around, do you see:

A) Someone wearing a scarf?
B) Someone wearing an old jacket from the 70's with the huge lapels, ironically or not?
C) Aviator glasses?
D) Someone who looks like John Lennon?

Congratulations, you are in a Liberal Orgy Pit.

EDIT: Sometimes, the way I hear people talking about "liberal colleges", I get the distinct feeling that idea is part of their fantasies. "Oh yeah, you dirty liberals. Yeah, you're bad. Walking around in your whorre clothes, having casual chai latte enfused LUST ORGIES"

There's a saying, by Winston Churchill

If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain
Lady Astor, aghast at a party. "Mr. Churchill you're drunk!"
Mr. Churchill: "And you, Lady Astor, are ugly. As for my condition, it will pass by the morning.
You, however, will still be ugly."

"Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink."
Lady Astor to Winston Churchill
"Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it."
--Churchill's reply

EDIT:
whoa topical
