Who is that anti-amrican bastard?...

Baroda offered up a thread titled, "Who's that anti-american bastard?"  Or something to that effect.  Then proceeds to divert attention away from him using a somewhat eccentric American author who is an elderly man now.  

Well, I posted the same article in another thread, and failed to get any attention. Vonnegut is one of my favourite authors, so I started this provocation...

Sorry, I was drunk as hell when I posted it for the second time.

Is that correct Baroda?  You have "communist  bastard" in part of your sig.  So lets see, I know, you figured you'd get the Americans all worked up about one of their own respected and somewhat obscure authors, and sit back and enjoy the fun....without anyone questioning you at all.

Sorry again...

This "imbecilic communist bastard" thing is a long story, I was called so by one representative of a "multimillion dollar corporation", and I found it extremely funny. I am not a member of a Communist party and I don't vote for them. (Communists are one of the big political parties here and at the last parliament elections they got 13%).

Is that how the communists do things Baroda?  Let old men take all the pounding while you get off scott free?

I for one am curious about Baroda's motives...mainly because he's the only one here who has a hammer and sicle as an avatar.

I hope I explained it all above. My avatar is a sign that I suppose should mean my background as a person brought up in USSR, show my attitude to some Western "values" and generally to make me a target for some people here for whom this emblem of Labour is an essence of their unconscious hatred.

Baroda, I think it's important here so there are no misunderstandings about my post mentioning you.  I'm not being accusatory toward you, and I would rather be friends than enemies.

I have to get on you because, hell, for all I know, you may BE Kurt Vonnegut.

Anyway, no matter what anyone else here says, I hope you understand this is not a personal attack.  
 

No problem, thanks

Are you serious that I may BE Kurt Vonnegut?! This is a great compliment for my lame English

Here is a link to an original Vonnegut's article:

http://www.inthesetimes.com/site/main/article/cold_turkey

In a first thread I asked about this strange magazine, "In these Times", is it a popular and reliable edition or just another yellow unknown tabloid? This article was translated to Russian from Mexican newspaper "La Joranda", and some media here said that it was published in Mexico because major US press refused to print it... Can this be true?...

Sorry, I'll have to read other comments in this thread later...

So it goes...

Thanks for your response Boroda.  I too was drunk when I made my post.  Your English is very good.

I can't answer your question about the magazine "In These Times."  I have not seen it or read any contents.  Maybe someone else here knows more about it.  Looking at the covers from the link you provided, it does seem to adhere to a political agenda partisan in nature.

My reading has been very light recently, so I'm not a good one to ask.  I spend most of my time drawing pictures.

Anyway, thank you again for your good natured reply.  I raise my glass of  whiskey to your good health and prosperity.

What's the difference between Anti-Amercian and Anti-Government?

are you asking for my opinion?  I have allways been against big government.  I would suggest that the founders of this country were too and that anyone who is for big government and socialism is anti American so far as the founders and the constitution are concerned.

I would say that any federal gun laws are anti American.   I would say that having a class of "hate crimes" is anti American.   I would say that most taxes are anti American.
