[kj] New Topic The war criminal Blair must pay!

[Karen Weil]

Oh, exactly. Groucho was a great philosopher. I studied him intensely while earning my minor in sociology.
Actually, something along the lines of "religion is the opium ..."  
(And very well-ecducated folk such as yourself know the rest.)

      "Doesn't really jibe with human nature"



      Which is bloody strange when you consider that religion does...





      Communism: A nice idea on paper, but in real life ... not so much. Doesn't

        really jibe with human nature.

            Assuming Ultimate Communism would encourage everyone to be

        "exceptional," were it to succeed and everyone became

        "exceptional"... how would anyone be exceptional? Exceptional being a

        relative term, is there some explanation of "exceptional" (as in, in

        relation to what?) that would still hold?

            Because if everyone had Bill Gates' money, a philosopher's depth, and

        the health of a base-jumping 130-year-old twice-reincarnated Himalay

        Sherpa, no one could possibly be exceptional.
