I'm off the hook for the day. DOWN WITH FASCIST BUSINESS PIGS!
/runs
I'll be gladly participating. My hometown is one of the most important places for the movement. Locally, we had a general strike on Nov. 2, and it mostly went well.
Burn!burn with holy fire.
So, like, are you guys employed?
Damnit! I didn't know a thing about this, and went to work today.
Yes.Quote:

Good job.
Don't get me wrong J-Factor but from the way Oakland looks the many times I've been there, it would appear that the city is generally on general strike.
I suppose Stockton should be the national headquarters because it seems that Stockton has been on General strike for decades that is unless one is affiliated with the local gangs, they don't seem to be participating.

Not trying to make any political point. That's all in your head. It's just a great May Day picture.
So it's not you with the paranoid delusions of the impending invasion/infiltration of the commies in his head. It's me with some sort of idea in my head.Quote:

I find it funny watching thousands of unemployed people my age who for the most part are unemployable even when the economy doesn't suck.
All I know for sure is I liked the pic. The USSR put on a hell of a May Day Parade. Judge me how you want.Quote:

His passion is for hermetically sealed cheeseburgers.
I think you have a little too much sand in your vagina.
Did you know him a few moments ago? Because that's exactly what he was doing.Quote:

Hey if you think that is what I am trying to do that's fine by me. You seem to know me very well.
This seems to be your got to line once someone corners you on your BS. As if people should have any reservation when you've already given yourself away pretty well in the former politics thread. It's okay, you have no other defense. So go ahead and hide from the liability of your own words and behavior on a public forum and I'll see you pop up and cower away in another discussion some other day.Quote:

Don't worry, Iron Lizard. You can sit next to me during lunch today.
Thanks for sticking up for me Tanegashima and MrMatthews. I'm done here. It makes me remember why I don't like to discuss these things. Though this time I found no room for discussion. Problem solved here.......[IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/2llynmp.png[/IMG]
Too lazy to post my own Ignore List...
Oh, I'm supposed to buy that it was a joke now? Too late for the "lol! J/K defense" now. If it were really intended as such then anyone would have made it clear at some point. Instead he tried to hide behind feigned ignorance of his action and paid no regard to the escalation of the conversation. It's clear that he meant what he posted and when I called him out he was at a loss for a good defense.
What I'm finding hard to buy is that you're so offended by something inane posted on a forum about video games that haven't been manufactured in two decades.
I think you need a little perspective.
Even if he meant to accuse you or some vague movement this thread may be referring to of being communists then I really think you need to get over it and let him have his opinion.
If his opinion is "dangerous" in your eyes, you're no better than what you're accusing him of.
I warned you mrmatthews!
I WARNED YOU!!!
I've been noticing a trend of unchecked and even embraced vitriolic speech on in this forum. I make it a point now a days to not let things like that slide. Yes, it is dangerous in the broad scale of things for people to just slip into passive validation of such things. So when I encounter it in areas I otherwise like to be in I will say something regardless if that puts me at odds with the collective apathy of any domain.Quote:

That's a false equivalence. He is very real and spouting actual slander. Impending doom via commie uprising on the other hand is a figment of many conservatives' nightmares. I merely exposed him as such while he equates protesters with "Stalinists". See the difference?Quote:

Nonsense, him posting a picture of a May Day parade at the Kremlin doesn't make him conservative, paranoid or anything of the sort, you're making the very same assumptions about him that you are about people who think John Reed is going to rise from the dead and become president.
Oh yeah, sure... it's lefties who equate OWS with Stalinists. :roll:

You also assume anybody who even implies they don't agree or aren't jumping aboard your point of view, whatever the hell it actually is, is some neo conservative nut case who just wants to crush you and your "movement." Pure fiction, you don't know any of our points of view because none of them have been expressed, you're jumping to conclusions and guilty of precisely what you're accusing everyone else of.
Why don't we send Iron Lizard to the gulag!!
So basically what you're getting at here is that he was being a troll. That really doesn't inspire any sympathy from me. He chose to act the way he did with that post. Which intention was really his is not my concern. Either way it doesn't reflect well on him.
Funny that the first of May inspires so much agression with people. Here in belgium it is a national holliday and an excuse for socialists to get completly wasted. On the 17th om may the catholics get wasted when jesus goes to heaven. I'm just happy that I'm being paid on those days and don't have to go to work.
Televator, I don't know what your problem is but this whole pissing match was seriously out of line over a simple picture. You took it way too far.
This thread has served its purpose, locking it now.
