Things which piss me off.... Teachers sprouting ignorance!

True. The first thing that should be taught in a Social Science class is that it's not Science. It's mostly opinion, and teacher doesn't necessarily have the best opinion. Everyone should form their own.

How can you be glad when you do something wrong?

It's the conservative credo.

You are the one that needs to explore other things besides right wing propaganda.

I'm sure that Mr. Marx and and Mr. Engles would be pleased to know that they are right wing propaganda... especially Das Capital... damn, those evil right wingers and their talk of revolution .

I also guess I should place a call to the New Republic, which I read online quite frequently.

Damn a lot of places to inform that they are 'right wing propaganda'

Loewen is a liberal, yes... but just like che is a liberal. Though don't tell che I called him a liberal .

Anyway, I was at the mall and saw Zinn's book, and flipped through it. Interesting stuff in the 'Afterword' and Chapter 23 (which is something like 'Coming of the Guards' or something). Zinn acknowledges that the book is not written with objectivity and his prejudices have colored his book, AND, in the book itself, he expresses hope for a peoples' uprising! And all these people getting all made when I called him a Communism... funny that.

You have a sexy tongue -- you should use it for other purposes.

Che is a communist. Your'e very confused.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Che is a communist.

He is also a liberal. Seeing as you call Fascists 'conservatives', I can call Communists 'liberals'.

Man, this thread degenerates into another left/right flame war. Who'd have thought it?

You can't call communists liberals anymore than you can call liberals communists. Its not right, and you are going to piss people off. I don't really recall calling fascists conservatives, but if I did you have a point.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I seems to recall you going the other way... calling conservatives Fascists (neo-Fascist is the basically same thing).

And oh no, I'm going to piss people off! Boo hoo!

You have to give me specifics, because some Fascists hide behind the label of conservative. Just like some mods, uh I mean people here hide behind the label of liberal.

Oh really? Like who?

[Agathon]

Imran, you're a fascist!

Actually, I had Fez admitting he was before he left.
