:: Well, they are. The right stands for things like hierarchy, exploitation, and oppression, which i think are horrible. Simple as that. The term "religious right" incidentally, is an oxymoron- go back and look at how communist Jesus was.

Now you know why I don't respond.

:: have you ever heard of living lightly on the earth? have you ever heard of nonviolence? Perhaps these concepts are foreign to your way of thinking, but for a good billion and a half people they are the basis of teh moral code.

As long as they don't live next door to Hitler everthing's fine, eh Nikhil?

:: capitalism hgas produced nothing but starvation, diseaser, inequality and the loss of freedom on a scale unprevcendented in human history. Before you argue with this statement, ask yourself teh following. 1) Why is it that the highest standards of living, across the spectrum of wealth levels, is invariably found in socialist states.

Because socialism can only happen after capitalism has created wealth to redistribute. Socialism does not create wealth.

::2) Why has every state that goes from capitalism to socialism seen an increase in the standard of living?

Because thieves took what wasn't theirs and gave it to those who didn't earn it. But that standard of living is temporary.

:: 3) Why ahs every state so far that goes from socialism to capitalism seen a drop in teh standard of living, with no turnaround seen for the near future?

Would you be talking about Russia? But what about China?

:: I've been asking capitalists these questions for months and I have yet to hear an answer. perhaps you have one. Long Live International Communism!

After it's resurrected?

:: I don't have a problem if everyone except me and one nice girl turn homosexual, Stu. The way tehy find romantic fulfilment is none of my concern. Nor is it yours.

That statement belies your selfishness. You don't care if the whole future of mankind's existence is over as long as you can have your fun. I thought you liberals cared for other people.

If the instinct to procreate and to eat are just about as basic an urge as can be had, why is the male animal who trys to have sex with another male justification for homosexuality and the animal who eats the other not justification for me to eat meat?

Well?
