Nor did I attack him. It's a simple observation.

In reference to the John Stuart Mill quote, the "better men" were the ones that threw out Ceausescu. ~1200 of them died doing it.

Ceausescu's socialist paradise wasn't too bad? Better than "shooting everything that moves?" Who "shot everything that moves?" I mean, besides Ceausescu's Securitate?

They had a "trial"; the same type of trial most tyrants get. You won't find me saying Ceausescu's trial was done correctly, despite your trying to incorrectly portray my position that way.

It should have been public and it should have been before a legitimate court. It probably should have been delayed until the new government was established by the people in a popular vote. In other words, years later perhaps.

I, for one, would like to nominate Boroda for the Bagdad Bob Award.

  why do you think God connected the best moments, the highest feelings, sensations we can get in life with the sexual act,

  now that pleasure is  connected with creation of another soul,  
 
 life is in you to create life, not to destroy it

And yet, by your own admission, you'd stand idly by as the Securitate killed your daughter, the life you created, even though you had the power to save her.

Sorry, I'll never understand guys like you.

I'd kill anyone or anything that threatened the life of either of my children, without remorse, as fast as I could. Or die trying.

Either that or God meant there to be HO's ...

I wonder if that would work in court?

Maybe we were meant to go around busting nuts all over the place?

Tell me, ghi, in your view should WW2 have been fought?

Obviously, the only way to stop the Germans was to fight and kill them.

From your view, should the Allied nations have just let the Germans take over without resisting?

Yes Toad,i know you are right,WW2 had to be fought, the world in my imagination is imposible

 Since Cain killed Abel, in bible's legend , the history of the mankind is just, wars and bloodshed and does't have anything to do with the positive thinking

  you can see and feel the power of the dark side,the devil, the contrary of positive anywhere in history , present and daily life

  Now you are a strongest nation,hard working, smart, technological advanced nation, i always admire you americans,

 You guys made it to the moon!! Can't you make it in human minds,is closer than the moon, to fix or improve the chips?

I read that the meaning of life is evolution in minds, ideology,  not only technologic, here you should make some investments for the safer world not in antibalistic missile

OK, now we both agree on something. It is impossible.

Now you have to decide if you want to be the Dutch Battalion and stand and watch the slaughter or if you want to stop it despite the risk to yourself.

Toad, Iraqi resistance have made their choice too.

Just as Yugoslavian pilots who flew one-way missions against agressors.

For their meaning of freedom.

Agreed.

As for communist society - I do believe that it is possible. Not through social revolution, but through progress in technology and human mind. In fact modern European democracies are building Communism. The only thing I can do to help building Communism is work for the benefit of the people, the humanity. I see Communism as a kind of religion.

Please, understand that most of the people don't know what the hell I am speaking about. They were told that "communism" is something evil where Stalin was killing Jews.

so what you liberated commies defining as freedom is this:

freedom is my ability to force you to believe in what I believe or I will kill you?

If so I hope communisim comes back and sucks you all back in behind the wall.  Seems we were better off then anyway.
