Disclaimer & comment rulesJust like right-wing interpretations of the New Testament - interpretations that put private property at the center of a mora life -, left-wing ones are also adding into the book they're supposed to be reading. The Christian ethos is but an imitation of that of the Stoics - it preaches indifference to the outward world, not rebellion or support. It is thus apolitical. Christianity, pure Christianity, is concerned only with internal 'realities'.

Dec 21st, 2011 - 08:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So was he shagging the women (inc nuns) and buggering the choirboys in the good old fashioned Catholic way?
That explains something about you: how did you get here if Grandpa was a true Priest?
#4 you've got that wrong as well.
Dec 21st, 2011 - 10:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#2 That which you write is not quite right either.The main thing that this claptrap did was to detract from the liberation struggle with the opium of a practise which is not able to accommodate socialism,if only because of it organisational structure which it's beliefs command.It was not or is not acommunist or socialist anything,except a distraction for those who were or are suppressed by the whole ideology.I'm sure some historians can describe it's authoritarian ideology.
Godless and free. Thank you :)

Dec 22nd, 2011 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0”The OED defines propaganda as “any association, systematic scheme, or concerted movement for the propagation of a particular doctrine or practice”. Moreover, it adds that the propagation of information is carried out “by an interested party, esp. in a tendentious way in order to encourage or instill a particular attitude or response” (OED). The term propaganda thus currently carries a negative meaning, evoking the idea of an agent deliberately manipulating the way a recipient absorbs and interprets information”
Sounds to me like the stuff Argentina spews out, particularly the final sentence. However, I suppose that because it is from the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), it is unacceptable to Argies.
@ 10 you're not like Lucifer, you lack patience, discipline and wisdom. the world is spinning, and magically the pieces will fit in their right places, you just wait, fool :P

It's coming closer by the minute.
#12 I'm happy with the definition,but the judgemental bit is a bit predictable.And guess what,it doesn't say it in the OED.Well well!!
