You think I'm scathed?
I've never really understood why anyone would be upset about someone who dislikes them having a low opinion of them. That's never been my side of this conversation. That's why I could pos rep my stalker now and again when he found something that was funny or insightful.I already knew you were angry. That's all those words reduce to. So you reach for the gay business because it was the last thing you saw get a rise out of me. Silly business though.
See, it isn't that the gay bit irked me. What irked me was that you do it even though it's a pretty clear violation of the agreement you decided not to honor. And that's the one thing I can't get around, the thing you mistook for something else. That's what was at the heart of the gay bit, not the sexuality. You didn't understand that because you sell yours too cheaply to your anger.

Meh........ a very poor fit where I live.
But Karl Marx did have some great ideas.... it just all went wrong when human beings got hold of it. He wouldn't have agreed with much that happened in the USSR for sure.
Anyway, let's have a look at your headings..............
Nah........ not where I live.
Yep...... This makes sense, but where I live if folks don't like it they can always clear off.
Nah...... won't ever happen where I live.
Rebels, as in criminals? Yep! Our Police are now authorised to seize any money in excess of £1000 that a person is in possession of in a public place who cannot explain the reason for having it. If you've got ten grand on you and can explain why then, 'no probs'.
Yep........ we've got our National Bank which sets credit rates etc.
Our government has just seized control of the entire North Eastern rail system from Virgin 'cos it was a mess and not working properly. Fair enough....... if folks cannot get service out of something then somebody should do something about it.
Nope....... our gov funds commerce and industry, and seeks to utilise waste land, which makes great sense, but otherwise we don't fit this description.
Nah...... we don't focus on the above description, but we'd love an upsurge in commerce, industry, building, travel and retail 'cos our system would benefit massively from that.
We have been attempting to distribute commerce and industry more widely for some decades now, because rural areas benefit from the increase in jobs etc. Makes senmse.
Absolutely! Free education and medical care for all minors. Yep!
Children are not allowed to work unless under carefully controlled conditions and with junior age restrictions.
And education should suit the future needs of our country because this is more likely to prepare kids for safe, secure, rewarding jobs into the future.
I won't bother, but thanks anyway.
Hmmmm...... The OP is rather weak because it tries to force titles where they just don't exist. And although the word Marx is probably taboo in some parts of the world, Karl Marx would never have supported states like the USSR which didn't give a fig for ordinary folks anyway.

You've never really understood a lot of things, Townie.
This is what I find so humorous about you. You "knew" I was angry? Are you God that you can see into my heart? :chuckle:
It doesn't take anger for me to proclaim a coward a coward, or a clown a clown, or a fool a fool. I call them like I see them...as I always have.
Are you insinuating only a gay would wear a tutu? I've known a lot of gays, and none of them have worn a tutu. A tutu is equated with being a prima donna, and that's how you come across.
Ah, again you claim I sell myself to my "anger". I'm not sure why you think you would reach the level of importance that I could possibly be angry. You're nothing but an internet troll.
I have no idea of what "agreement" you claim I'm supposed to be honoring. What planet do you live on? I can't help it if you fail to act like a manly man. Is that what gets your goat? Good grief....deal with it. You're a whiner. Duh!
Yep. The Townster needs another glass of whine. :rotfl:

It looks as if Glorydaz is getting the BEST of you. As if you actually had a BEST of anything.
The Townster is getting quite aggravated and upset. He's not his usual sarcastic wisecracking self. Somebody must have found his 'Achilles' heel.'
It looks like you're raising The Townsters blood pressure, a bit? He's starting to lose his cool. :rotfl:
Keep it up Glorydaz. The Townster might be getting close to throwing in the towel?
Well, none of that is true, so you're back in form at least.
How to tell if you're a Marxist
'From each according to his ability, to each according to his need'
- Karl Marx (Critique of the Gotha Program, 1875)
"No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had ... there were no needy persons among them ... it (money) was distributed to anyone who had need."
- Apostle Paul (Acts 4:32, 34-35)
It would appear that the Holy Spirit and Karl Marx are in agreement when it comes to the distribution of wealth!

A funny thing about people who believe property is theft. They keep trying to take it from other people. :think:

Children live in the only successful Marxist state ever created: the family.

The Townster might just be going down for the count soon? I kind of believe he's rethinking his strategy? Most likely he's thinking: "My sarcastic wisecracks aren't doing the trick, I had better try another tactic before those interlopers strike another blow to my ego."
I kind of feel sorry for 'The Townster.' However, I'm not quite there yet.
And you'll never know what that means to me...so it'll have to remain a mystery for you, like grammar.
Well, not all there at any rate. But I appreciate the effort. I can tell you're laboring. Anyone could.
Your 'material' is disintegrating before your very eyes. :rotfl:
Townster,your grammar jokes are at an all-time low. Why not mix it up with some jokes about my family?
