I'd be curious to know how expansively we're defining the 'Latin left' for purposes of this conversation. Is Lopez Obrador the 'Latin left'? Is Lula? Are the Kirchners? Is my uncle Manuel, an anti-Castro democratic socialist Cuban exile?

Obviously, your uncle Manuel wanted to murder Mint's family.

Also, I'm pretty sure Lula is responsible for shooting my grandma's brother in 1940s.

If so it would have to be by second-hand cigar smoke or too much Animal Planet.

So I tried to read up on this thread, but wormyguy is a very depressing thing to have to wade trough, even if about once a page in this thread he drops an absolutely beautiful pearl of what I suppose has to be considerd 'humour', though 'utter weirdness' may be a better way to describe it. Let me just say that I no longer feel bad for those times I may have been a little bit aggressive in the way I've dealt with him. (Well, not that aggressive, but I've always have been a sensitive/insecure sort of person)

The biggest kill by one man since Rochambeau massacred two or three successive goldmines.

No comment. Just pure Pingvin.

And what if I pay my taxes, live on a one wage and browns take my job away?


BTW, congrats Batmacumba. I don't know what leads you to waste your time on an idiot like wormyguy, but congrats anyways. Wink

if you were half as smart as my boyfriend i would think you were a worthwhile poster.

As someone who's talked to Antonio about election maps and fantasy gov. several times, I can definitely say that isn't true.  Wink

And you people wonder why Inks locked this thread. No wonder. I hope he locks it again, cuz he was right. All this thread does is host childish insult-matches and idiotic 5 page flamewars about absolute bullsh*t. Coming from a 15 year old, you guys are acting like children. Good lord.

No, random corrupt and semi-corrupt politicians with meaningless labels (the "Latin center" if you will) don't qualify, I'm referring to those who self-describe as Marxists, endorse or engage in violence, and cultivate close ties with the Castro regime in Cuba (or the Soviet Union, back when it existed).

The "stand by my man" routine undertaken by Mint and Wormyguy after Batmacumba soundly smacked Wormy is pretty gag-worthy.

I think it's cute Smiley

So the Latin left is full of bad people because you define Latin leftism in such a way as to limit the term to such. Gotcha.

I think so too, but I think they think it's a lot more relevant than it is.

Pretty much.  Incidentally, you're agreeing with me that Allende was a bad person.

I'm certainly agreeing with you that you define 'bad person' the way you do. The second part is, I think, typically sufficient, and typically endemic among those who have become members of ruling classes, by birth or otherwise. Pinochet was certainly a 'bad person' in this sense, but there are degrees of badness. We, all of us, are certainly bad people to some extent or another. I sincerely hope nobody on this forum has ever electrocuted anybody on purpose.

Although Allende was without doubt a foolish person. At best.

We have a comedy institute. We have an "oh snap" center. I think we should have a place where we put those posts that just make us shake our head and ask ourselves if the person just seriously posted that.

...Goddammit, guys, could we not do this?  This thread is |------| close to being relocked.  I really don't want to have to go through every one of your posts and edit out the offending quotes, because Atlas has been slow as s**t the last few days and it'd probably take a good 15 minutes, so could we just pretend this didn't happen and move on, or are you really going to make me edit every post that quoted this crap?

I am?  I've been moving out of my apartment... I haven't done much moderating.  Plus, the forum is slow as heck... I'm not deleting the last 7 pages.
