[kj] philosophucky

[ade]

Doesn't look like my message has come through yet, but regards Pats ANALysis:
 
1. too simplistic / black & white
 
2. it's all about the value system you live in / believe in.
 
Hence, you managed to make it fit your agendas perfectly. I'm not criticising you though Greg.
 
 
 
ape.
 
PS. iPat - there is NO truth.

So therefor anger against the capitalists is very righteous, since they cause most of the problems and harm to people (war, poverty, unemployment, lack of health care, poor housing, pollution). But "killing for your country" is really killing for capitalist groups (e.g. oil compaines)--it should really be killing the capitalists that is justified, since that means killing to make life much better for about 99% of the population (including EVERYONE on this list, yes, even Pete "Fartslinger"). That's why I'm proud to be a commie...
