Did you press quote instead of edit?

Yes. I blame the blind rage clouding my vision.   

[Loud Whispers]

I had to delay updating my LP again because one of my acquaintances went on an internet rampage. He organized the first meeting of the local Occupy group, but has since decided that he hates everything about the movement and its goals. He was one of the moderators of our Facebook group where we coordinate things. He changed the profile picture to something incredibly offensive, removed all the other administrators, and deletes any posts people make in the group. I'll be calling him about it tomorrow, but I had to spend the past few hours tracking down alternate contact information for more than a hundred people to get them into the backup group I made.

It is now about 1:00 AM here. Needless to say, I'm a bit pissed off about the whole debacle.

Did he start the occupy meeting with goodness and loving in mind at first? :d
Because it seems a bit fishy...

[Heron TSG]

He seemed to honestly support it at first. I've gotten it worked out, though. It turns out that he's a bit spiteful that the movement didn't exactly line up with his intentions.

The whole "The People's Front of Judea" vs "Judean People's Front" vs "Judean Popular People's Front"... thing, eh?

[nenjin]

Occupy: Judea, vs. the Judean Occupation Front, vs. the People's Front of Judean Occupation.

My mother.

"COMMUNISM ISN'T LEFT WINGED HURRR IT'S ALWAYS DICTATORSHIP!"

"Woah, calm down. Communism is not what you think it is. It is very left"

*mindless bickering about what communism actually is*

"HURR I KNOW SO MUCH MOAR ABOUT COMMUNISM THEN U DO! I WAS TAUGHT"

"Coming from Mrs COMMUNISM IS DICTATORSHIP AND EVERY DICTATORSHIP IS COMMUNIST. Seems to me as if you don't know anything at all about it. "

"NAME 1 COMMUNIST COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE THRIVE!!! IT'S ONLY CONTROLLED BY THE RICH!"

*several attempts to explain what communism actually is to her later*

"You are aware that true communism has basically never happened, right? What you're thinking of is socialism. In socialism, dictatorship is not mandato-"

"COMMUNISM IS JUST RICH CONTROLLING THE POOR!"

"I'd try to explain this stuff to you further, but it appears to be too difficult to explain shit to a complete fucking moron."


"DON'T CALL ME MORON BECAUSE OF POLITICAL DISGREEMENT IN DEBATE!"

"I'm not calling you a moron because of political disagreements, I'm calling you a moron because you are blatantly ignoring anything I say when I try to explain communism and socialism to you"

I don't know how much more stupidity I can take before my brain commits suicide. Really, not even some moronic, inbred redneck would be dumb enough to say "Communism is just rich controlling the poor".

[GlyphGryph]

Admittedly, most of instances of communism DO seem to turn into the rich controlling the poor.

Damn you, human nature!

[scriver]

That's because all instances of communism so far has failed rather heavily with the communism itself, becoming more about supporting and providing for the new upper and governing class than continuing with the whole communism business.

[Lysabild]

Soviet failed because Lenin died way too soon, Stalin, who didn't give a shit about Socialism and Communism seized power through force and used the ideologi as a mask for furthering his own agenda, which was his own power and his own shallow minded ideas.

Funny example: Lenin made Homosexuality legal, Stalin made it illegal again.

My damn mouse keeps randomly dying on me requiring a reconnection every time it decides to do so, and this has been increasingly frequent today > : O

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a rough approximation of just about any time I've ever discussed politics with anyone.

[Akura]

Shouldn't that be the job of...oh, I dunno, the Department of Defense?

Or the National Security Agency.  Or the Central Intelligence Agency.  Or the United States Army.  Or the ... ... ...

Aren't all of those under the Department of Defense? CIA maybe not, but aren't the rest?

So glad I try not to discuss politics with anyone.

I still remember how my high school tried to teach us to hate Islam. I believe the teacher said it was because "the goal of Islam is to take over the world". My response, though most likely not aloud: "Isn't that the goal of every religon?"

And THIS is why I only worship Dracula.  At least he's honest.
