In reply to Simon4:
Little Simon you must try and calm these wee tantrums of yours dear,its not good for your blood pressure.Now wipe the foam from your mouth and have a read.
> Obviously no sane person can believe that the former Soviet union was some sort of earthly paradise
Where did i say it was?Show me,and since you cannot show me why are you lying?
> or that the marxists were in any way better than the Nazis,
Aw bless!So all Marxists before during and after were as bad as Stalin..hmm?Not to mention western imperialists.Such a completely ludicrous thing for you to say but when taken in the context of a seriously angry child throwing insults about then not so unusual.
> Still less can any rational person think that the UK, for all its faults, is any sort of giant concentration camp where any dissent is punished by immediate excution,
No they couldn't but they could see the UK from the view of its victims all around the world,We presided over starvations which killed many tens of millions,we have killed many millions of people from all over the world.As well as invading and robbing them,stealing their land and its riches whilst torturing them and putting in a tyrant to keep the ordinary population
in terror so that some rich British elite could could take everything for as long as they want.
*We have done this in dozens and dozens of countries for centuries *
Britain is at constant war....yes always away in some foriegn place murdering foreign people in a distant far away land.
Constantly murdering,stealing riches,suppressing the foreign ordinary person to keep the rich rich.
> with a permanent need to appologise for its past or its present. This is simply a totally irrationaly distorted view of the world.
Irrational? You should know all about that little Simon.
Have the British apologized for the famines?
For the constant wars and millions of victims?
For invasions and robbery on a colossal scale?
For imposing many many tyrants on the masses of different countries who wanted what was rightfully theirs but were tortured and murdered for organizing into democratic and Communist parties?
> Equally it would be obvious to any sane person that her "arguments" would never convince anyone of anything, so threadbare and ludicrous are they, not to mention the perpetual self-righteousness that she displays. She has no hope of influencing anyone about anything.
Self-righteous? That's ironic.
What is glaringly obvious little Simon is that you seem to be rather obsessed that i would infuence people in fact you get rather frenzied about it old bean.In fact you seem to be rather obsessed with me full stop,I hope i don't have another stalker on my hands.And for your information i couldn't give two hoots what anyone on here thinks and i certainly don't want to influence them, i'll leave the one sided and frenzied evangelical stuff to you little Si.
> It is far better to ignore her, in the faint hope that she will finally get discouraged, reaction, any kind of reaction, only feeds her delusions and encourages her to stop taking her medication. Lets be a bit more responsible toward the unfortunates among us.
Hey and don't give genuinely mentally ill people a bad name by associating them with me please as i'm well radge.
