Marxist OK, you are not a Marxist. However, Marx is the only one that seriously proposed (and obtained a large following) that Capitalism must inevitably die.

Married SP It seem's strange that given all the guys having sex with the SP, it would bother you that one of them happens to be married to her.

Marxist It would have been easier just to say that you are a Marxist.

Funny I thought that you were a serious NDPer or Democrat at first. Funny!

Response The joke is about Democrats, not gays. Lots of Republicans will think that is funny. It is irrelevant what a Democrat things. Personally I support gays. Minorities, particularly this one, deserve our protection (though not affirmative action, that is fixing one wrong with another...

My political views If you really want to know my political views, note the following quote: Political tags -- such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth -- are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want...

Really!?!?! You should have another look at the graph. How do you get 10,000%. That is a hundred times, meaning that the $325k would be worth $32million. It is also very seldom that the tenants cover all the expenses. I talk to lots of people who say that their tenants cover their expenses...

Better alternative Perhaps the US should start retesting their nuclear arsenal. The first test could be 100km above Ponyang. The next could be 95km and then in 5km increments. At that altitude there would be no blast effect, though you might need some serious sunblock if you were outside...

Your graph Can you not find a better graph to support your arguement. Your graph actually argues "against" owning real estate. Consider the original value of $325k invested in a well diversified portfolio of stocks, such as a decent index fund. Would have earned at least 5% per annum since...

Welch vs Welsh As per above, it seems that our dictionaries differ a bit. Perhaps we should consult the Oxford. In www.dictionary.com, welsh is the verb and welch is "one who welshes".

Racist Statement Note the following definition of Welsh from www.dictionary.com. welsh  /wɛlʃ, wɛltʃ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[welsh, welch] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –verb (used without object) Informal (sometimes offensive). 1. to cheat by failing to...

1. Flawed? How? In whose opinion? The only system that guarantees that somebody with less then 50% of the vote does not win is a pure proportional representation system and you don't see many people advocating that. I am sure that every state has its flaws, but are you implying that the...

Sounds familier This is like the democratic judge, I think he was family law or someting totally unrelated to what comes next, that pulled up "any" info on George Bush SIX months before the election, scored with the DUI, and waited a few days before the election to spring it. The Democrats...

UDO's Oil UDO's oil is the best. It has the Omega Six and Three that your body needs as it cannot make it naturally. The fish oils are better than no oils but if you take Udo's oil, your body can manufacture them, so you really don't need them. Read Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill by Udo...

Debt Collateral is not an excuse to welsh on a debt. You are fair game until the debt is paid an not many of us are going to be sympathetic to a whining welch. If you had any ethics or morals you would be profusely apologetic and assuring us that the debt would be paid instead of offering...
