• In house A&A drama politics….

    LOCK IT UP, MODS!  8-)


  • @LT04:

    (spelling correction)

    Agreed. That’s what I would have done…

    I’m guessing the real reason is that he realized he was spending his entire life on this forum and maybe that was a bit of a waste so this was just an excuse to make a clean break.


  • this was just an excuse to make a clean break

    What then would hold somebody to such a commitment that they needed an excuse to have a reason to leave. Why cant leaving just be just as fine and good?

    Its not like a priest that wants to become a communist looking for the opportunity to leave the church.

    Why exactly would being Christian and Communist be mutually exclusive?  Many argue that Jesus was a Communist - not in the Soviet sense, though.

    I think that IL was referencing that the communist communities such as the Soviet Union, China and North Korea have all adopted a national policy of atheism.  I’m sure there are other aspects of that which I am avoiding so as not to get this topic locked by turning this into a political argument.

    In a lot of ways I would have to agree with you that true Christianity would adopt a self-supporting community based system of equality.  However, I would have to agree that like Plato’s Republic the human race isn’t ready for.

    “Excuse” was the wrong word. Final push, or motivation, or whatever. Maybe he just wanted to go out in a huff with some drama.


  • I think that IL was referencing that the communist communities such as the Soviet Union, China and North Korea have all adopted a national policy of atheism.

    Yes exactly word for word from Das Kapital. Communism is a rejection of religion based on that they believe its subversive to human progression. It was the official policy in Soviet Union and China with exceptions. BUT this is not political so lets leave this out. I am just explaining what i meant in my remarks to clarify.

    Also i meant communism in a political sence. A priest and a communist are not compatible unless one of these ideas is forsaken at some point.


  • It’s all good this does take soem of your life away thats why i coem and check on and type i do stuff and check up on this as easy as that he does not need an excuse to
    quite


  • Italian:

    Can you redo that? It makes no sence whatsoever. I read it 3 times and have not figured out what you are saying.


  • Do i have to modify

    Ok! switch does not need an excuse to leave this forum for a&a
    This forum is time consuming but you can be doing other stuff like at the moment i am watching t.v. and checking for new replies.
    My piont is switch does not need an excuse to leave this place thats all


  • well that’s better. :-D

    If i was you i would use Italianiscoming to English Google translation service to help out your posts. :-D


  • Why did Switch left-only he knows. We can speculate it here but i think it isnt right to do so. Switch was very important part of this forum for years and whatever the reasons for his departure were we should respect them.

    As for Jen´s ˝slightly˝ sarcastic post
    well if its so ˝easy˝ to delete the account. Why dont you( at some point ) or after some event delete your account and (if) sometimes return here start all over.
    Why? Because you dont wont to have 0 posts, a new account and start all over…

    As for communism and Jesus comparison… altough i understand by communism here you were wanted to say Socialism. Any comparison beetwen Communism and Christianity is disgusting. If we cant agree how much Christianity is good in its nature and how much it did and how much it means for the people, at least we can agree that Christianity is someething good and communism something worst the world has ever seen. Comm.left 100 million people dead, left people raped, tortured, and wanted to become the world global ideology, destroying any religion, freedom of thought and basic human rights… Communism is the shitest ideology ever seen so far in its destructing power

    Some socialist though have pointed to Jesus as the first and greatest Socialist and Revolutionary leader of all time(the good example is the Holly Mass in Havana durign the visit of Pope John Paul II. Together with the giant picture of Jesus was the picture of Ernesto Che Guevara)…altough on the first ball this pointing seems standing still, it is a very unstable ground since Socialism and Revolution are closely related to Communism and negating basic civil rights. But i agree that it is an interesting issue, and that  with time the Socialist and Christianity movements will be brought closer…(by the person of Jesus Christ and his social teachings, in the first place)…

    I said it was easy to delete and make a new account, I never said it was wise or that you’d be fully recovered if you did it. :P


  • Christianity is something good and communism something worst the world has ever seen

    Amen to that. Socialism can be compatible with Christianity. Definatly


  • ok@ it is none of business to know what reasons he quite.  The only thing i can think of though is tired of being such a big part. sometimes people want to chill a bit(or all the time) “wonder who does that”.  Anyways it is ok for this discussion to continue but i dont think any of us should dis’ him because of his decision he made.  we may say it is bad but it could have been the rightful thing to do for him!

    Also he could be reading this as a guest or a new person and chatting to us now (not me just saying)"he would have not chose this great name^*()


  • If you’re a regular here you know there was a lot more leading up to this than an off call in a tournament game. But apparently that was the proverbial last straw. Let’s just leave it at that.

    I’m gonna miss the guy. ~ZP


  • Ahh he still goes on these forums as a guest he is still here wavering above us


  • Did TimeRover resign as well?

    Not saying you are wrong about Communism, but as far as Christianity: Inquisition, Crusades, forced conversion/missionaries (not all bad, but still), massacres of nonchristian people (in the name of Jesus),etc.  I would argue that Christianity has had a much larger negative impact than Communism just by its longer existence.  But I know that these examples are bad Christians giving other Christians a bad name, but multiple times the Pope has even ordered executions and declared war.

    But I digress since this is about Switch being a quitter.  :lol:  Again, he’ll be back. And he’s watching over us.
