I've found that when most people say Communist, they really mean Socialist. Dork--are you more a Socialist or a Communist?  :D
Well, probably more of a Marxist, but no one who I know in real life knows what that is. :P  So I just say I'm a Communist so people don't ask questions.

Most people don't understand Marxism or it's subdivisions at all. Hell I've read "The Communist Manifesto" three times and I still get confused  :-\.

That's because it's strictly conceptual (unapplicable to reality) and attempts to canalize human nature (suppression of propensity).

I secretly wish I was Jewish


Even with the forced circumcision, not being allowed to eat pork and all that stuff?  :P ::)

You know what I found out? I was reading through the bible, possibly leviticus, and found that christians aren't supposed to eat pork either! oooooh but I love ribs :'( It says we are unclean until sundown, and that we must wash our clothes... hmmm not a big deal

But in Iowa people will be like WTF COMMUNIST BABY-KILLER NAZI SYMPATHIZER ANIMAL ABUSER GENOCIDE PROPONENT :P

Anyway. I'm not sure if I posted in this thread earlier or not. And I'm too much of a dick to check.

Let's do bullet points so I don't have to strain myself with writing sentences HOORAY.

-15 years old
-REALLY BADASS

>_> I mean:

-Nietzsche fan
-I like communism as a theory, but it'll never work; corruption always seeps in somehow. So I'm more of a utilitarian socialist.
-Atheist from birth cause I guess my family just didn't want to make the choice for me. So I never did choose. Which is fine.
-I'm a rabid science fiction fan, but pretty much hate an SF story if there isn't some kind of science behind everything.(I'M LOOKING AT YOU, STAR WARS)
-I can make the top part of my finger at a 90 degree angle to the rest of it.

Exactly. I'm conservative-Republican with just a hint of liberal on some things. The corruption, I think, is free will. Communism would be perfect if we had no free will. Humans are unpredictable. So, we have a government that mostly compliments our unpredictable behavior.  Anyway, please don't take any of this the wrong way. I'm not trying to recruit you to become a republican, nor am I bashing your beliefs. The last thing I want to do is start a political war on the forum that's helped me so much ::)

Those verses refer to the covenant between God and the Jews.  When Christ died, it symbolized a new covenant between God and man, nullifying the old covenant.  Therefore, Christians don't necessarily observe those laws.  Observant Jews, for obvious reasons, still do.

Also, on topic, I play chess.

I never said I wanted to be an observant Jew :P. Basically Jewish culture is really cool, Israel is fascinating as well, but the actual religious beliefs are not all that appealing.


Phew, that was close. No one should have anything cut off of them without their consent, in fact It should be law. I wouldn't mind being a politician for insane things like circumcisions.

I'm 19 There, happy? No need to caption my picture.

Same here Nenson.  Most of history's most significant people (good and bad) spent significant time alone.
