A holy man was having a conversation with God one day and said,
'God, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.'

God led the holy man to two doors.

He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.

In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.

The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished.

They were holding spoons with very long handles, that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.

But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.

The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.

God said, 'You have seen Hell.'

They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one.

There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water.

The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, 'I don't understand..'

It is simple,' said God . 'It requires but one skill.

You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves.'

Thanks for now admitting what you denied only a few days ago katatonic.

You believe capitalist societies are greedy, corrupt and oppressive.

Just for your information...because I'm quite sure no one in your circle of Socialist friends either knows or would acknowledge they know....but the United States spends more on social services for the poor in the US AND sends more food, medicines and money around the world to the poor than any other nation on earth.

Even our private charities send more food, medicine and help around the world than most of the other western governments.

Further katatonic, studies have been done and posted here which show conservatives...capitalists...are far more generous with both their charitable giving of time and money than....say your leftist Socialist friends who content themselves with wearing buttons and pins and protesting...rather than rolling up their sleeves and actually doing something...something other than running their mouths.

Another of those running his big mouth is O'Bomber..who claims he is his brothers keeper. But, O'Bomber the Marxist Socialist Millionaire, has a brother living in Kenya on what amounts to $10 per year and O'Bomber won't even send his own brother a 10 spot to double his annual income.

Further katatonic, O'Bomber also has an aunt living on welfare in Boston he hasn't lifted his smallest finger to help.

Save your Socialist crap for the tourists.

pardon you jwhop but this is not a socialist manifesto. i had a feeling you would think it so. i don't DO left/right. its all about individuals to me, and how they fit together into a society.

this talks about people taking care of each other as a matter of mutual benefit and spiritual maturity. there are no politics involved! the problem is on ALL sides. it also suggests that IMAGINATION and creative thinking can solve seemingly impossible problems.

our current problems have a LOT to do with hoarding by some at the expense of others. admitting it is not equal to voting socialist!!! but the trickle has slowed down to a drip, while CEOs go home with millions a year and their lowranking workers are losing their homes!

capitalism is fine but it behooves the upper ranks to have a care for those on whose shoulders and wallets they depend! which is not happening much these days...

the so-called socialist regime now in washington is kissing up to the corporate money just like the bush regime did. this is a case of MISUSE of capital.

how do you know what obama does with his private overflow? are your donations printed publicly somewhere? lots of us don't even claim our contributions for the tax benefit. does that make us socialists?

saw a post on a blog today claiming to have proof that africans, at least, think obama was born there.

i quote "here's the article from a ghanaian newspaper, where it talks about obama's "first trip to the land of his birth." click on the link and LO and BEHOLD the article ACTUALLY SAYS "his first trip to the land of his FATHER"S birth."

what a difference the omission of ONE WORD can make.

now i know you will call me an apologist but i do SO hate people MONKEYING WITH THE TRUTH to prove their existing belief. as in the blogs who claim the health bill provides for mandatory euthanasia/ counselling for same, when it says nothing of the kind...

and as in those who think sharing is socialist!

interesting jwhop. what does it have to do with this thread?

ps - IF this is real are you looking forward to having biden as president? and seeing as his mother was 18 at the time and his father was married to her and living in hawaii, does it really constitute a threat to his american status? interesting questions i will check out...

BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE ORIGINAL POST? MAYBE YOU SHOULD START YOUR OWN!

Can't see what the o'Bomber Kenyan birth certificate has to do with this thread katatonic?

perhaps you've simply lost your place in your train of "thought". Did you not post this comment?

"i quote "here's the article from a ghanaian newspaper, where it talks about obama's "first trip to the land of his birth." click on the link and LO and BEHOLD the article ACTUALLY SAYS "his first trip to the land of his FATHER"S birth."

oooooooooooooh you got me!!! so i got sucked into your sidetrack.

the thread was not about obama. it is about how far you will take the fear of socialism. apparently you consider people taking care of each other as dangerous now.

like i said, you want to talk about obama i invite you to start your own thread about the alleged african birth certificate.

I'm not afraid of Socialists but Socialists sure as hell should be afraid of me...just as soon as they attempt to overthrow the Constitutional Republic that is the United States to bring about their Socialist Mecca.

i repeat, this thread was about the email it started with. i asked if you thought it was a socialist piece. obviously you do.

in other words, if you and your family and friends mutually support each other you are socialists? if you were in the situation above you think the right thing to do would be to let each other starve?

I don't know why you're complaining about your thread being hijacked katatonic...and fixing blame on me.

Perhaps you might wish to consider this tread went "off topic" when you hijacked your own thread.

actually that was in response to your taking this to a personal place and posting your ASSUMPTIONS about the thoughts in president obama's head. as i said, i allowed myself to be sidetracked. if you want to take over from here go ahead. the original post is not about politics but about how people treat each other. i am not going to "feed" you another bite on this topic since you have no intention on staying ON topic.

Actually katatonic, you're the one who brought up O'Bomber's birth controversy...and hijacked your own thread off topic.

You might wish to read your own words.

"Another of those running his big mouth is O'Bomber..who claims he is his brothers keeper. But, O'Bomber the Marxist Socialist Millionaire, has a brother living in Kenya on what amounts to $10 per year and O'Bomber won't even send his own brother a 10 spot to double his annual income.
