#1 please don't tempt Geekster that is short on patience this week. I am glad people have opinions and choose to express them in civil manner.

#3 LOL. I posted this #1 before seeing Geekster's post about booting https://www.snotr.com/video/20544#comment-284797.
But seriously, how do you not post something political on a video about politics?

Hey guys no worries about me, I don;t have anything with you guys. I had something with that specific user and thats all. We've been very indulgent with the rules, because the community kept getting smaller and smaller, and mostly only veterans are still here, so we didn't want to get anyone out, but it seems someone really had to cross the line. You can discuss in a civilized manner about pretty much any topic, but not start flame wars, attacking each others and making personal attacks. That's all Moreover, the decision mainly belonged to one of our main Snotr creators, but It was mine too.

#8 Oil is not the problem. It's just oil. Corrupt people bring the ruin.
Whether Venezuela is technically 100% socialist isn't the point. Chavez and the government clearly had that as a plan (Bolivarian Revolution slogan "Motherland, socialism, or death" ). It takes time for the full transformation. They failed miserably only part of the way there (and in record time?) yet believers still believe because "only they are smart enough to pull it off".
I'd compare folks who believe in socialism to that of children playing with their dolls creating a fairy-tale play land where they choreograph/control everything the dolls do. It's very disturbing that some people want to control others in that way. I guess that's why psychopaths are generally drawn to it and why it ends up being corrupt and horribly damaging in the end.
