I don't use that kind of language or condescending tone with you so please don't do it with me. I attack political systems and use logic and reason to express my ideas. What you are doing here is resorting to base insults on a personal level and I don't think that is called for.

Even when we disagree, long time posters have a duty to adhere to a certain code of conduct. I could very easily stoop to that level and choose not to as well, but I don't. I ask you to do the same.

If you want to debate anything, then for sure let's do that, but let's not degenerate into plain filth or personal attacks on one another.
I'm sorry miles, I think that is a problem with the inability to show tone on the internet....when I say "fucking hippy", "dirty fucking hippy", and "nutjob socialist" my disdain is more geared towards the actual group as opposed to a personal attack on you. So in other words I fucking hate hippies and socialists I certainly hope you're neither of those, but with your views on "imperialist elites" and "the oppressed" one can't help but wonder.
I just have one question Lyle: Like many Americans, you seem to dread the term "socialist" but in the US, the word is more than often misunderstood from what it really is, especially because a system x that works socially and for which you agree doesn't mean that you're a socialist. So, what exactly does it mean for you? I am asking because I get confused a bit by your argumentation and I would like to make sure about what you have in mind when you're complaining about these "damn socialists"
