It must be difficult to reason differently having been raised in an atheistic communist country though. If Yugoslavia was anything like communist Russia believing in God could end you up in a labor camp I know.


I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan (the U.S.) my entire life, having never moved abroad until I was 23. Then I returned to the States for several years, lived in Florida, and went back abroad again. Just because my profile says where I live does not mean I am from there (let alone speak the language). Furthermore, as I have stated numerous times throughout this discussion, I am not an atheist. So just a quick reminder about the word assume. It makes an [censored] out of u and me. [censored]-u-me. Assume. Get it?

Having said that, if you read anything about history before rudely slandering me just to win an argument you would know that the former Yugoslavia (and there is no country called Yugoslavia anymore) was never at any point Communist.

On that note, here's an old East Bloc joke I learned during my journeys abroad: Communism is man exploiting man. Capitalism is just the opposite. I rather like that one. It kind of paints a realistic picture of both sides.

And anyway you speak of Communism as though it were a bad thing. Communism has never yet existed as a form of government. Stalin? Stalin was a monarch, not a communist. The very idea of Communism dictates that no one person shall be in power. It is, in actuality, a very democratic ideal. None of which insinuates (in other words, don't "[censored] u me") that I am or am not a Communist.

As for Tocqueville... what in God's name does my signature quote have to do with this discussion? Or have you no better way to attack someone's arguments than through juvenile tactics and routinely flagrant assumptions?
