[QUOTE="Elephant_Couple"][QUOTE="GettingTired"] You're right. Communism is definitely a sign of declining education. Not the fact we have a good portion of the country that still doesn't believe in evolution, believes the world is only 6,000 years old, and 9/11 happened because people in the Middle-East "hate our freedom". No, that's a sign of extraordinary intelligence :roll:GettingTired
...none of that relates to anything I just said. Here, I'll repeat it for you:
True communism is an inherent contradiction, and corrupted communism leads to violence. The fact that red party membership is rising means that education is dying.
Did I anywhere in that statement claim or even insinuate that other things are not also indicators of poor education? No, I did not. Did I anywhere in that statement imply or even insinuate that anything you listed is "a sign of extraordinary intelligence"? No, I did not. Did you bring up a bunch of issues that are utterly irrelevant to the fact that communism doesn't work, and then accuse me of promoting their continuation without any grounds whatsoever to do so? Yes, you did.
Get control of yourself, grow up a little bit, and then maybe you can come back and try to argue with me.
No, but it's ludicrous and downright idiotic to believe that this is a sign of dying education when their are so many worse indicators. That fact that you pointed it out is nothing but you flaunting of your bias. You believe communism will never work, so anyone thinking likewise is uneducated? What an asshat comment, and you tell me to grow up? I'm willing to guarantee there are many communists who you are far more educated than you (or you will ever be if you're still a high-schooler)When you said "likewise," I assume you meant "otherwise"?
You can guarantee that if you want, but I doubt it. I'm no longer in high school. In fact I'm 28 years old, and my academic education (objectively speaking) is beyond that of our current president. If you'd like, I can list it all for you.
I addressed communism because the thread was about communism. It wasn't about evolution, creationism, or the conflict in the Middle East. Also, it's not idiotic to believe that any specific thing is a sign of dying education, even if there might be others that are more severe. It's still a sign of dying education. Lastly, I'm not stating my personal opinion; i'm going off of the historical fact that no state has ever succeeded in trying to implement communism (notwithstanding tribal communities and other minuscule examples, which are irrelevant). Up to this point in time, communism doesn't work. It also doesn't work anytime in the foreseeable future, as real communism requires the total lack of any and all states and governments. Accordingly, I don't see any problem with the claim I made, or rather the fact that I stated. Do you have some sort of empirical or historical evidence to prove me wrong? I don't think you do.
