  • Who has more meetings, Communists or Alcoholics?

    Alcoholics have meetings like, what, once a week or so? By this i mean like, mandatory meetings, required meetings. I guess in that case, most alcoholics don't have any, but if someone is like, court ordered to go to AA meetings. . . well, those are the alcoholics that i mean. Anyway. . .
    And so how often do Communists have meetings? I mean like, in a country where the government is communist, all the faithful party members have to get together and reassure eachother just how lucky they are to be communist, and how evil those western capitalist pig-dogs are. Aren't those meetings required?

    This is a subject that came up during a discussion i was having with my friends the other day. It's very important that we resolve the issue.

    Alcoholic communists meet the most. Ask Che.

      You know, we considered that, but then we decided that TRUE communists wouldn't use alcohol to excess, they would share their alcohol with everyone and anyone. And hence would not be alcoholics.

      Mormons were high up on the list of "number of required meetings" too, but i don't really know much about them, and what kind of required meetings they have.

        Is there a point to this thread, or is it just a bashing-fest?

          Did you take some extra "sensitive" pills this morning or something?

            they'd have to make sure they have enough booze to liquor up the entire population then, i suppose.

              If they all share, they all have more.
              Finally, the communist manifesto works.

                I want more meetings.


                You're right about Mormons, they do have a lot of meetings. At least three a week (counting Sunday activities as one meeting) if you are a regular active member, more if you are in one of the numerous leadership positions.

                    Depending on the commie group, they can have meetings as often as once a week, but generally they are bi-weekly or even monthly. If something big is going down, say a war, then there might be more meetings.

                    And yes, people in Communist countries do share their alcohol. My understanding is that if you have an empty cup and your standing around chatting with your boys in Cuba, and one of them has a beer, he'll pour you some. Very comradely country, Cuba.

                    And I do know some alcoholic commies. They tend to be rather free with their licquor, cuz they don't like drinking alone. They tend to be shunned, however.

                        I debated leaving it alone, just to make you sad.

                            alcoholic communists.

                            you're wrong thoug.

                            left wing progressive parties hold the most meetings.

                            and they are very interesting and intelectual/knowledgable.

                            the only downside is they dont make much difference

                              Did you know that bi-weekly means both twice a week and once every two weeks?? We looked it up.
