My 2 cents and first post, I came here to read and learn about snus before seeing the heated discussion about communism. Please forgive my bad English but what I have to say comes from many years of experience with the old communist regime of Bulgaria. I am now free of all that bs and can be anything I want to be, but believe me, both extreme right and extreme left ideologies lead to fanaticism, why not enjoy a good snus and have fun instead of arguing communism. I used to be a soldier and a wrestler but I am a lover now and enjoy the finer things life has to offer and currently working on a large industrial project in the NE USA.
Judge Faust, don’t you have anything better to do with your time, try Hinduism or Buddhism or just keep it to yourself. Are you practicing your debating skills, is that what this is all about? Go out have a drink get a girlfriend and enjoy life before it is too late. Did you ever consider that you could wake up one day and realize what a big mistake you have been making, having wasted many years of your life filling up your brain with communism?
Xobeloot, you sound like a fine guy and I like what I see. I’m couple of states north east of your location. I’d like to have a drink with you sometime if I am ever in your neighborhood and at the same time you’re always welcome to visit here. I’ll be posting some pictures soon.
Come on guys, forget about communism, it’s old and it is a goner let’s discuss happier and sweeter things, seriously.
Welcome to the forums, CaptNihil!
Anyway, I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy the old Communist government much (I actually loved those times, but to each his own, I suppose). Keep in mind that we were still working all the kinks out at that point. I can assure you that you'll enjoy the next version a lot more!
As for your advice:
1) Being a Communist does not prevent one from enjoying life.
2) You really want me to switch Communism for a religion? Really? That is bizarre on so many levels...
PS: If you think Communism is "old" and a "goner," you really ought to catch up on what's been going on in Asia during the last half century or so...
Faust or Faustus (Latin for "auspicious" or "lucky") is the protagonist of a classic German legend who makes a pact with the Devil in exchange for knowledge
Plays and comic puppet theatre loosely based on this legend were popular throughout Germany in the 16th century, often reducing Faust to a figure of vulgar fun
"Faust" (and the adjective "Faustian") has taken on a connotation distinct from its original use, and is often used today to describe a person whose headstrong desire for self-fulfillment leads him or her in a diabolical direction.
The Faust of the early Faust-books—and of the ballads, dramas and puppet-plays which grew out of them—is irrevocably damned
