    Quote: What are these first, second and third times you speak of? I'm asking sincerely.

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    Quote: Actually, if you think hard about it, human beings only ever 'excel' when they are in socialistic situations. The old saying...united we stand... And, I agree..."socialism" is a very open term. That is the point of this entire thread, to delve into the different meanings. Bringing up...

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    When I type "socialist" it should change it to "a conquered person or one who ignores the history of governments". A conquered person? That would depend on the government's history you choose to read. Marie Antionette might argue about the 'conquered' part. Also, I'd guess King George III...

    PLEASE refer to the rules AGAIN Timmo. I have read them. I understand them. Delete anything as you see fit. This is the only warning I will give. This applies to ALL others who chose to pull this thread away from the ORIGINAL topic also. I do not in any way understand this comment. The...

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    Quote: Exactly right. And in keeping, I know it's late, but does anyone have any thoughts on the word 'socialist?' Is it really a bad word?

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    Quote: I agree with most of your post, except for this part: But don't kid yourself, socialism is very alive and well in this country. Large businesses are lured into states and cities with the promise of local governments giving them such things as property, tax breaks, training of...

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    Quote: From experience, my dear. Never assume 23,000 people can join in a discussion about anything like this without arguing. Heck, not even 12 people can! It's the nature of the beast. That speaks volumes about our society. But what you say is true. I was on the bad side of a conversation...

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    Cyn, you're not invisible, but why do you jump to the conclusion that this topic is dynamite? I only started a topic about the word "socialism." The U.S. has been a socialistic society since it's conception, even before it's conception. As has been the same for any other great society, taxes...

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    Quote: Strong feelings on the subject is the entire point. Adults can, and SHOULD, talk about these things. This site provides something unique....chickens. I don't know what it is, but these darn birds bring people together like nothing else. Look at the explosion of members on this site...

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    Quote: Thanks for addressing the topic. I have limited knowledge of Alaska. Is it true that they don't collect state income taxes? Does their oil pay for everything or do they get federal money for roads and such? Is it true that every citizen receives a cash payment from the profits of...

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    I rather enjoy NOT getting political on here, because no matter how well intentioned it starts someone always gets mad. Its just that we all have different opinions, and I for one am fine with that. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but this particular thread is exactly the place for people to get...

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    Quote: Point me to the rule that forbids off-topic discussion in an off-topic sub-forum. Rule 12 specifically asks that religious and political topics be in random ramblings. This is where we are. Unless someone flips out and attacks others on a particular point of view, there is no reason...

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    Quote: Does the 1st amendment not apply to this website? This is the forum for off topic discussion isn't it? Is everyone comfortable with topics "disappearing" all the time? What country is this anyway?

    A random rambling...how do BYC members define socialism?

    A hot topic these days. The word "socialist" has been tossed around like a rag doll over the past few months. So much so that it reminds me of McCarthy's commie rhetoric from the 50's. Talking about things lead to understanding, so let's talk about it. It could be argued that by simply...

    Hatchery lesson learned from last year: Order now, don't wait

    If the poor economy had anything to do with the run on large hatcheries last year, this year could be even worse. More and more people are investing in a little 'self-sufficiency' every day. If anyone is planning to order chicks, especially rare varieties, you should probably claim your future...

    Christian Topic: Bible Translations - which do you like?

    I'd like to apologize to everyone I may have offended the other night. I was in a seriously bad mood, I'd had a few too many, and I went way off topic in a very disrespectful way. I am truly sorry for acting like such an ass. I regret some of the things I said and the extremely rude manner...
