I only become annoyed at the constant bigotries and put-downs -- political,

there's an entire literature on that subject and far be it from me to tell
him what to do about it in his private life. When it becomes public and it
sours the atmosphere, as it does here, I'll say something. Otherwise, you'll
have to catch his whoppers on your own. There certainly are enough of them
flying by to keep you busy.

I personally disagree with him trying to discount my political views
by bringing up where I came from. It makes it difficult to have a
meaningful discourse.

Iggy iggy iggy....I find it marvelous that you came to the US from the
USSR. I welcome you with open arms! Tovarish!!

What you are stingning about is my commentary that you never did
completely take Capitalism into your heart...you still have a strong
socialist streak you may not be aware of. So I use Comrade etc etc when
it pops up as an indicator that on that subject...you are not completly
"here" yet.

Sorry if you didnt understand this. I had assumed you did. I know others
here have.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
