I really am. Because, quite frankly, you are driving me nuts. I'm not sick of you because of what you believe in, but how freaking blind you are. This doesn't include a lot of you, but many of you are seriously becoming a blind, economically deficient set of individuals. You keep going on and on and on about how great communism and socialism are, and yet, you say capitalism is the freaking devil incarnate. You never once admit that there are flaws in the system, you never once did that. While I, myself a capitalist extremist, can honestly say that there are many flaws in the system. That leads me to believe that many, I repeat MANY, of you are far beyond extremism. You are completely beyond that point. I have yet to see some of you so much as mention the words 'flaw' and 'communism' in so much as the same post. In my personal opinion, while many of you preach open mindedness like a fanatical group of zealots, and preach atheism in the same way, you are a religious group of communists. You are nothing more than what you preach against.
But the thing is that there is a line in which you can stop the extremist debate. Political, religion, and economical debate are all fine when they are civilized. These aren't civilized debate, they are extremist they have gone too far. They have become so blind its impossible for them to think open minded and give other political ideals a whirl. The only things these extremists find in other political stand points are flaws, they don't stop to think about what is positive about the ideal that is against them.
I don't think they're extremist. Just because it's a different thought or belief doesn't make it extreme or strange. Keep in mind this is a debating forum and we are allowed to have the strangest political ideas we want to discuss here.
Communism isn't exactly an adult idea, it isn't pornographic or disgusting it's a political idea, it should be the perfect idea in theory but it isn't really, it's easily corruptible.

It's not the belief itself, but how chauvinistic they are in defending it. If what they are online is even close to an indication of what they are in real life, they would defend communism and socialism to the death and beyond. I could care a less what they believe in, but how fanatically they believe in it is what gets me.
lol, seriously though, why use the USSR symbol than say "Long live democratic socialism!" when that symbol represents a communist country??????
no offense to you of course eagle, just something in general to all the socialists that use that symbol to represent their ideals. Because communism is VERY right and socialism is VERY left....

It's the internet. I honestly doubt they are that brave and confident in real life to go around screaming communism 4 lyfe.
I might caption cats on the internet but I don't do it in real life because frankly it would be weird. We are separate people on the internet and that may be why people are slightly more aggressive. Honestly, everyone seems to protect their points on this site fanatically
It really is just because you don't agree with it isn't it.
Actually more towards the bottom. Statists to be exact. While conservatism (right) is more geared toward small government and economic freedom, but not as much as libertarianism.
Wal-Mart's net revenue is $13 billion so far in 2009. That's mostly due to the economy crash.
Wal-Mart's sales this year are almost the same as last years. They're one of the only company's that has good stock right now. It's because all of the rich people who used to shop at JC Penny and Macy's are now shopping at Wal-mart and Target.

Sadly, you are so far off with that statement that you flew off the internet. I couldn't give a rats' ass if they believe in communism, capitalism, or whatever but when they defend it to the death they annoy me. Anyone who does that annoys me.

I guarantee that if they weren't afraid of getting there brains splattered all over the sidewalk they would.

The people who defend whatever they believe in so fanatically is precisely the reason I made this thread. I singled out communism because it is the most prevalent and the most aggressive, next to Christianity. If you watch any of the really good debaters on here they aren't berserk and enraged as some of you get.

And that most of them besides me haven't debated here yet. When are they going to learn that mixed economies >>> all of them?
