You are SUCH a loser!
I joined in March of 2001 but it took me till July of 2004 to post.

What makes you think you're good enough to be recognized?

Answer if you dare, troll...

Don't know if you'll last as returning trolls are usually Zotted right away.

But at any rate...Hi...welcome to FR

Instead, would it be posible to actually start a dialogue of some sort?

Not likely. I'd suggest lurking some more, you've got a lot of learning to do.

For example, I bet every one of the "circumstance" differences you mentioned are shared with someone here. It is bigoted of you to suggest otherwise.

I suppose on income redistribution you'd rather have a flat distribution like your native country. Oh, but you fled that country for the better life here. As I said,lurk some more until you figure out that the answer to planes flying 40,000 feet hight than people can jump is not to ground the planes, it is to rejoice that we figured out how to fly.

In before the Zot?

Other points of dissent include: - Poverty and income redistribution.

That is definitely trollspeak.

I don't think your left-wing views will be very welcome, no matter if you're a nice guy or not. And you seem to be a nice guy.

Thanks for the thoughtful, if long, post. The problem is that FR is not a forum to propose such a dialog. It's a forum for people with an aligned world view. That's not to say there is any kind of uniformity of opinion - clearly there is not.

So ultimately, apart from the similarities and differences you chronicle, so you think your world view is basically aligned with the basic world view of most on FR? If yes, then you can contribute here without issue. If not, the truth is you aren't welcome. That's not a free speech issue or anything: the intent here is for like minded people to compare notes and commentate, not for opening a dialog. Frankly, I have no idea what made you think that was the mandate at all.

PS - That was a long vanity post, Gustavo.

Technically he's not a returning troll because he never got zotted before -- his account is still from october of last year.

However, isn't it also customary to zot people whose first post is a vanity about how much they can teach freepers about how wrong they are?

Especially when they spend half of their post bashing america, after admitting they fled their own god-forsaken country.

Who cares if you were a former troll or not. Only someone ignorant and truly pathetic will shut out or shout down someone with a differing view.
It takes a true intellect to formulate a coherent, relevant and well reasoned argument in defense of their positions. You can only do that when someone disagrees with you.

Not really, that's not the 'only' way to formulate coherent, relevant, and well reasoned arguments.

In any case, as I said, there is no unanimity of opinion on FR, never has been. There is a widely aligned world view of its membership. That consensus binds us, though that's not to say there is uniformity of opinion, or a notable lack of disagreement. Anyone can see on any given day that there is a lot of disagreement on FR, but still a largely aligned world view.

Hmmm... where to begin?

Hang out, read, learn. The UN does far more evil than good. Put the UN in charge and there's genocide in Rwanda, genocide in Sudan, nukes in North Korea and Iran, child sex scandals, money laundering on an unprecedented scale. It allows tyrannies to act on equal terms with representative goverments, as if they were equally legitimate. It's profoundly anti-Semitic and overtly supports terrorists in Israel. Search keyword: Oil for Food

The US, on the other hand, has done far more good than evil. We have established the independence of the Western hemishphere from colonial European domination, abolished slavery, defeated both fascism and communism, and maintained the freedom of half the world for over half a century. If you want to take a look at the Cold War as a whole, do you really doubt that those nations on the US side were freer and more prosperous than those on the Soviets'?

Once a troll, always a troll.

Once a knight is enough.

Or something.......

what you mistake is that people here want to hear a left wing version of things.. we don't need that in house. that is what we have the MSM for... and for whipping boys for us we have the usual misfits from the DU that stumble in here like yourself... I am guess that your time among us is now very short.. watch out for the copper rods and your depature should be shocking... and spectacular (for us at least.)

Hmmmm.....I am, for once, at a total loss of words. On the other hand, your post is irritating/intriguing enough that I am going to respond anyway. You throw your leftist ideas and blame the USA (or the market or whatever) for the problems in the governance of Mexico.

As a previous poster noted, this is a forum for those with a fairly homogeneous view. We have our differences (illegal immigration, evolution/creation, FEMA, and some others). However, our differing views do not include an embrace of communism or income redistribution.

ZOT!!!!!!!

It's not polite to post an opus and run.

This forum if for Conservatives only. If you want to "talk" with others, go to DU (Democrat Underground). You are not wanted here, troll.

And FYI...if you care so much for the poor, give them all of your money; yes, all of it! Or, better still, go back to Mexico. The poor here are wealthy, compared to the poor there.
