My sentiments exactly

[Liberty Lover]

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a liberal Democrat. She asks her students to raise their hands if they were liberal Democrats too. Not really knowing what a liberal Democrat was, but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands flew up into the air. There was, however, one exception. A girl named Lucy had not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.' Because I'm not a liberal Democrat.''Then,' asks the teacher, 'What are you?''Why I'm a proud conservative Republican,' boasts the little girl.The teacher, a little perturbed and her face slightly red, asked Lucy why sheis a conservative Republican.'Well, I was brought up to trust in myself instead of relying on an intrusive government to care for me and do all of my thinking. My Dad and Mom are conservative Republicans, and I am a conservative Republican too.'The teacher, now angry, loudly says, 'That's no reason! What if your Mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?'She pauses, and lets out a smile. 'Then,' Lucy says, 'I'd be a liberal Democrat.'

Was that supposed to be amusing? It was probably created by somebody with the same degree of mental development as its protagonist.

What I expected from you. Concepts like amusment and fun have no place in communist ideaology.

Sure they do, just look in Chit Chat. My point was that the joke wasn't funny; I have no problem laughing at a good anti-liberal kid, but that was just dumb.

[Liberty Lover]

I am not allowed to post in Chit-Chat, but whenever I do look I see so-called socialists like yourself talk about video games and other glourious products of capitalism.

I haven't seen a video game thread in there for weeks.

[Liberty Lover]

I haven't been in there for weeks. But it seems a little odd that someone claimimg to be a communist would spend there time and money on capitalist products like video games.

This is an alteration of an old joke about Americans. Let me show you the original:

Because I'm not an American.''Then,' asks the teacher, 'What are you?''Why I'm a proud Canadian,' boasts the little girl.The teacher, a little perturbed and her face slightly red, asked Lucy why sheis a conservative Canadian. "My mom is a Canadian, and my dad is a Canadian, therefore I am a Canadian." The teacher, now angry, loudly says, 'That's no reason! What if your Mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?'She pauses, and lets out a smile. 'Then,' Lucy says, 'I'd be an American.'

[Uhuru na Umoja]

There are entertaining anti-communist or anti-socialist jokes; yours just doesn't happen to be one of them. One from the Soviet Union at Stalin's time that I think is quite entertaining is the following:

Q:Why won't the governemnt ever be able to control the brith rate?
A: The means of production are in private hands.

That at least makes fun of the elements of a communist state. Simply saying socialist = moron, is hardly a high level of humour. I could write "all capitalists are morons"; however, I would not expect anyone to find that funny (which is why I would never post that as a joke).

Kruschev was busy denouncing Stalin at a public meeting when a voice shouted out ``If you feel this way now, why didn't you say so then?'' To which the Soviet leader thundered ``Who said that?'' There was a long and petrified silence which Kruschev finally broke. ``Now you know why.''

Breznev lies motionless on his deathbed. Comrade Andropov comes in: “Comrade Breznev……” he says. Breznev does not answer
“Comrade Breznev…..” says Andropov a bit more loud.
“Who’s that?” answers Breznev in a weak voice
“ It’s me. Andropov…..”
“Ah, well, what are you doing here?
“Comrade Breznev, I came to say hello to you for the last time…..”
“Why? Where are you going?
