Anybody that visits NYC and still has positive things to say about America must not be right.

New York's a great city. Been fortunate to visit there. Gleasons Gym on Font St, beside the Brooklyn Bridge, The Marshall Chess club and watching the men play chess in Central Park. Where else would you get it? Great place.

Even Americans....(other than New Yawkers) don't like New York. If you liked it there...then you are never allowed to bash America again. Seriously. No really....seriously. |

Stick to the topic of the original post...if you want to know about New York...start your own thread. The topic is...what happens when you oppose BushCo too vigorously. ![]() |

I like stevebabys sig: Quote:
NYC, former capitol of the country where G.Washington. gave his 1st inaugural speech. It has a significance for me. All countries have their good points. Right now i'm reading about pre-christian Rome from where republican gov't originated. Quote:

I wasn't aware that New Amsterdam was the former capital city of the US. I've learnt something new. Thanks

Imagine that! Some of us still ride 150+ miles a week, instead of sitting on our new sofas bitching about our taxes. ![]() Typical of the faux-patriots on the Right-Wing though, isn't it? The lack of expendable income couldn't possibly be because of price gouging for fuel/energy, health care, food, rent/housing upkeep - and just about every other basic neccesity you need to live. Not to mention shitty wages & benefits that only ever seem to stagnate or go lower. Tell me, who in your measly world still has a pension plan left at their job that hasn't been raided by your worshipped, so-called "benefactors"? Contrary to popular right-wing belief around here, I'm not pre-occupied with "hate, loathing, and impotent fury", nor "spending my life tormented", nor am I "jealous" of whatever lifestyle you lead. Mine is just fine, thank you. But if railing against the Corporate Machine and their political puppets gets construed as such then, eh...so be it.Wait...I think it's about time for another commercial message from Ford, Honda, Audi, Pfizer, Target, and "CSI Miami"...in that order.

The "facts" are that multiple "human rights organizations" say that Castro puts people in jail for criticizing the government. You went to Cuba and did not hear anyone criticize the government. Hmmmmm. I guess that doesn't equate to much. ![]()

Should I say "communist/leninist/marxist-leninist/socialist, etc." for clarity? In the interest of time I will stick with communist, or "commie" for short. Or godless commie dupe, as stevebaby has suggested. That is probably the most accurate. Strangely, everyone seems to get their panties all in a bunch at the idea of even being associated with commies. I noticed your list of types left out Stalinists. See, that's a modern day propaganda tactic, designed to distance "communism" from Stalin. Except every example of communism as applied to REALITY is dismal.
