Based on how ****ty things were at the time I would of easily associated with him. You could easily call me a 19th century liberal or even progressive. Because that is what I am. But the meanings of the word have changed.

I would like to apologize for that outburst back there. It is unlike me to be drawn into other poster's negativity. It just utterly infuriated me that some people seem to have absolutely zero respect for anybody or anything. It usually takes quite a bit to get me angry on this message board, as long-time vets can probably attest.

I still have a long way to go, even though I sometimes like to think I have conquered petty things such as anger, events such as this show me that I still have work to do. May Day (next only to Christmas) should be a day to remind all of us that learning to "turn the other cheek" and to "return evil with good" is the only way to humanity to advance. I am reminded of a poem by Mother Thersa that is perfect for today.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see in the final analysis. it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.


I am sorry for losing my temper, and don't worry, I'm not going to spam the 4th of July thread.

Monkspider: I must apologize for calling your heroes windbags. That was uncalled for and completely disrespectful to you.

Yeah, I thought he was asking for money again, which would be ironic since I'm in danger of loosing my job now.

[monkspider]

You were fine Fezzie Wezzie, to be honest it was other posters that really set me off.

Happy May Day everyone!

Let's celebrate this day in the proper fashion by kicking back and celebrating the complete and utter failure of communism in the 20th century. We should all be thankful that this flawed ideology has been completely discredited and future generations will be free from authoritarianism garbed in the guise of "equality". Communism may have been the cause of untold horrors in the last century, but it is dead now. While we should always remember the victims of this evil idea, we should also celebrate the victory of freedom.

[monkspider]

Drake- One day you will understand. You may mock us now, you may spit upon us, you may think us fools, but soon, certainly within this lifetime (unless you leave us early), you will be a "comrade" as well. Don't worry, I once thought as you did. You will always be welcome.

[Drake Tungsten]

I'm not mocking you, monkspider. Just letting you know that communism is dead and that the world is better off because of it.

[monkspider]

Well Drake, we must naturally ask what is communism? Marx may tell you differently, but all communism really is a desire to live for the betterment of humanity. That is something that will never die, and can never die. In fact, it is ingrained in all of us, soon humanity will begin to wake up to the divine side of it's nature and this dormant concept of "communism" will awaken. But hey, don't take my word for it, just wait and see.

[Giancarlo]

Monky, please don't tell what people will be or not. That is extremely condescending. Communism is wrong. I will join a paramilitary organization to prevent it, if it hurts my future.

Of course there will always be the dumb-@$$es who have been out of work for a year, are about to have their houses foreclosed on, and see no jobs in the future (except at Mickey-D's Steakhouse) who still love King George W. And will probably vote for him again either because (a) "he's a good guy" or (b) "he's born again".

[monkspider]

Fez- :shrug: You do seem to be very strongly against us. I sometimes wonder how someone like you or Floyd could become become a commie. But I know nothing is impossible. I am not sure how, but you will eventually become a commie, if you survive the next few years anyway.
