    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

    • No real meaning? You sadistic...
      It's a cold hard number. Solzhenytsin is real testimony. That's the difference that you seem to not get, as usual.

      Argentina ran a scam with a bunch off gloss.. it fooled the international community until socialist overspending caught up with the government leaving it deeply in debt. Look up the facts, the government borrowed and borrowed to pay public sector employees and their own pockets. This isn't capitalist.
      Well, how do you plan to deal with 40% unemployment rates steaming from the implementation of cutting the civil service back by 50%? You can't. It's unreal. But Argentina adopted an extremely neoliberal posture to the economic policy in the 1990s, and only a complete fool will deny it.

      And it screwed the country up big time.

        I did just that when Argentina started going belly up a while ago. That's how I can justify the accusation of BS. Now if you would care to justify the earlier comment beyond a silly and ignorant remark, I'm more than willing to listen.

          • Perhaps you should have elaborated the argument in the first place, rather than make Bald Assertion Man comments.

              Well and?

              Well, how do you plan to deal with 40% unemployment rates steaming from the implementation of cutting the civil service back by 50%? You can't.
              Well how can you pay for the civil services in the first place if you have nobody paying taxes?

              No it wasn't. You BSer.. the true neoliberal policies were adopted in Japan and West Germany after WWII, that is what led to their economic expansion.

              What your country went through was nothing but neo-liberalism, rather piss ant stupidity with a phony government and tons of corruption.

                So far the only BAM I've seen is the one I quoted earlier. I'm still trying to find out the logical basis for it though.

                  Who wrote about it? Apparently not. But Solzhenytsin suffered it too. Now that's a hard species to find.

                      There are literally millions, actually. On Poly OT, Propaganda and Serb are both just such people.

                      • Millions? I would say Chegitz you are perhaps right. But most of these people are in the former Soviet bloc. Stalin is somebody not too many people would defend in the western world.

                        • Bout the gulags - I know of plenty of people who survived 20 years in the gulag...
                          The purges were mostly executions, not gulags.
                          The forced labour of war prisoners and such is an entirely different matter tho.

                                It isn't. That is why Japan only instated some neoliberal reforms and thus experienced an economic boom.
