I think someone might want to just tell El Aquila to back off a little bit. He's passing out flames left and right and I don't appreciate and I'm sure Letila doesn't either (and I'm normally not defending Letial...)

Are there specific posts where he's flaming? I don't really see it...

Perhaps it is better to be more accurate and say for example: "between post X and post Z", difficult to see.

I don't think he's actually crossed the line yet although he's come close on a couple of occasions. And I wouldn't worry about Letila. He's quite used to the "communists are lazy" argument and is practiced enough in it to hold his own.

So what if some people decide not to make the products and instead milk the system? And are the "leaders" in such a hippie commune system treated to the same lifestyle as the workers? You obviously LOVE being a conformist or are just lazy. You wish that everyone was the same; that way you wouldn't have the other corrupting human emotion that you have. Envy. Afterall...there is no incentive in a Communist sytem for anyone but the "leaders." Why aren't you envious of them? Oh, I know, just 2 or 3 people and that's not enough to envy. It's when you see your neighbor be/get rich that really gets you when you realize you're still "stuck."

Read my previous reply to Letila about this.

And IN ADDITION:

There ARE CLASSES IN COMMUNISM. Actually 2. The "rulers" aka Capitalists and hypocrites in disguise; and the "workers".

And what are you paid with in Communism? Food and clothes? Oh no, this isn't slavery. hahahaha You are such an envious person! You hate to see the rich people in your country don't you? Why doesn't your ENVY MAKE YOU WANT TO WORK/STUDY HARDER? Maybe one day you can be like them. Something that you can't hope to be in Communism. You'll never be one of the "leaders" no matter how much you produce.

There is a level playing field in the US. Money is very cheap...look at interest rates. If you're a good student you get a free education for as long as you want. If you've been born into a poor family, there are plenty of programs to help you have a roof over your head. It is then all up to you to make something of yourself.

Quit looking at what others have through your eyes of envy. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop blaming others for YOUR CHOICES! It's your life, do something with it...make something of yourself. The opportunity exists...now get off your ass!

And if this isn't a perfect example of envy I don't know what is. Look at yourself! Damn it, you are what's wrong with society today.

Did you know, and most people who haven't had a serious illness in the hospital don't know, that if you get deathly ill nobody will force you to sell your house or anything. HEre in the US anyway. The hospital CANNOT turn you away regardless of your finances. You will be treated just as well as everyone else. Once you are well enough, by law, the hospital MUST work out a payment plan that you are capable of paying according to your financial situation.

You know what really is unfair? Someone who has worked hard to save lets say, a million dollars (maybe a lot by some of you socialist's standards.) He/she gets "deathly ill" and the treatment costs a million dollars. Guess what? That hard work just went down the drain...because, since he saved money IS FORCED to pay. Of course you envious people would probably love that.

Flamebait on all counts. He has been officially warned and threateaned with a forumban.
