To be more specific - the fact that we are not allowed to talk is what bothers me most. There is a real, growing sense that if you do not agree with the masses you need to be silenced. sigh

There's freedom of speech as long as you don't say too much.

Although Modern you do seem to be doing a fair amount of labeling yourself...funny thing about the pen being mightier than the sword...like the sword it too cuts both ways.

WhatUwish4: Ut oh, Modern. Now you've gone and started a war. You're right, you cannot even talk about such things without being accused of something - yet 25 years ago the majority would have been asking the same thing.
The marxists commies have acheived their goals,hard subject to explain to some people but thats just how they want it,I take it as a badge of honor being labeled for speaking out.

I do not know where you are getting this from - the goal of Marxists has always been to establish communism, and that has not happened yet. Unless the situations is fundamentally different on your planet. tinfoil hat

Funny how once upon a time it was viewed as a good thing to be honest and speak your mind. It was through the sharing of ideas and the objective debates that we were able to achieve such great growth of civilization. sad flower

Good luck with this thread, Modern. I have a feeling it will become depressing and I don't have the heart for it tonight. I'm off to better things...like maybe a lynching. laugh

Its history repeating itself like it did after the collapse of the roman empire when the barbarians rampaged EVRYTHING it was here in Ireland that the christian monks kick started stability again after the dark ages and now were heading there again with the moral collapse of society.

I suggest you get a life of your own and forget about what people who
live in a free society decide to do.
If it harms no one, then live and let live.
Is it so hard to do.

I have said that faith and force are corollaries, and that mysticism will always lead to the rule of brutality. The cause of it is contained in the very nature of mysticism. Reason is the only objective means of communication and of understanding among men; when men deal with one another by means of reason, reality is their objective standard and frame of reference. But when men claim to possess supernatural means of knowledge, no persuasion, communication or understanding are possible. Why do we kill wild animals in the jungle? Because no other way of dealing with them is open to us. And that is the state to which mysticism reduces mankind—a state where, in case of disagreement, men have no recourse except to physical violence. And more: no man or mystical elite can hold a whole society subjugated to their arbitrary assertions, edicts and whims, without the use of force. Anyone who resorts to the formula: “It’s so, because I say so,” will have to reach for a gun, sooner or later. Communists, like all materialists, are neo-mystics: it does not matter whether one rejects the mind in favor of revelations or in favor of conditioned reflexes. The basic premise and the results are the same.
