Normally I enjoy debate, but right-wingers take all the fun out of it.
I joined another board where members of any political leaning can join and I've spent all my time trying to explain communism and socialism to people who think Obama is a Marxist. At least here the people are mostly intelligent.

1. can't talk to them can you?
I gave up years ago.
Life is waaaay too short to put up with crap like that.
It sucks when you can't defend your beliefs when they are questioned, so DU is a good place for you.

2. Debate is fascinating
Edited on Fri Jul-22-11 10:09 PM by johnd83
I think debating the different merits of societies is a very fascinating intellectual argument. Somehow the tea party idiots are connecting the debate to communism fear. I am stunned whenever they say Obama is a "Marxist Nazi". They were exact polar opposites. Knee-jerk reactions about the social safety net are very unhelpful.
The tea party idiots are smart enough to realize that we can't spend our way out of trouble.
Which is more than I can say for the sooper geniuses at DUmmyland.

So he enjoys debating with people who have the same political views as he does, but gets upset when challenged. Shocker :whatever:

Socialism is what Marxism is called when it fails. Communism is what Socialism is called when it fails. Fascism is what arises when Marxism in all its iterations is shown to be illusion.
There is nothing to debate.
It's like debating the merits of owning a Porsche versus an interdimensional vehicle that exists at all points in space-time at once.

Bullshit. Having nothing to counter demonstrable facts time after time, and looking like an idiot when all you have left is to shout "NAZI!" and stomp off in a huff like the pResident after another failed debt ceiling negotiation has got to be more painful to an egotistic, self-centered ass such as yourself then getting a root canal a day for a whole year, sans anesthetic.
Thanks for playing, anyway. :popcorn:

2. Fining other people that agree with you is fascinating.
Yep.
I'm not interested in debate. I could give a shit what other people think.

Game, set, match, and the H5.

Translation...
"I hate it when people want to use facts in a debate"

Maybe below would be a more accurate post for the white_wolf:
Normally I enjoy debate, but right-wingers take all the fun out of it by using facts and logic to prove how ignorant and stupid I am.
I joined another board where members of any political leaning can join and I've spent all my time lying about how great 0 and liberals are to people who actually know better. At least here the people are just as ignorant and stupid as I am.
And why the name white_wolf? Why not black_wolf? Or African-American_wolf? Or simply wolf? Is he racist against darker wolves or something?

Marxisim is little more then a theory or grand wish of Utopia.
Socialism is what it is when attempted to be implimented.
Communisim is what rises when human nature dooms socialism to failure but power hungry despots are determined to keep it going.
