    Serious question now, what exactly do these slogans mean?

    either we get blown up or it's a shorter, catchier way of saying, "DISSOLVE THE CURRENT GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN X"

    its the second one yes

    even the relatively moderate Bolivian MAS (Movement To Socialism, its a pretty clever acronym in Spanish!) has 'death to the yanqui' in one of their songs. its not about killing people, its about smashing the institutions they represent. it sounds REALLY bad in english, obviously, but when put into other languages, it really has a more nuanced meaning!

    Thought so, and honestly it's a pretty fair statement when defined that way

    still, not going to deny, as a white UMC American I always squirm a little.

    What will Jesus say when the first of his children's creations dies and walks up to him in heaven and says "Man, it's some pretty fucked up shit they are messin with down there".

    Do life forms other then human beings and maybe animals at a subservient level factor into religious views of the universe? Created by us or otherwise?

    kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out

    That is, ironically, basically the answer I got from my high school religion teacher when I asked him about Christianity's views on Aliens.

    That a bunch of people are still bitter about how our great nation couldn't stop fucking with developing nations long enough to realize we were setting ourselves up for a humongous fall.

    For the record, I have no strong opinions about the nation of Israel, and I'm still happy to live in America, despite the fact that we are an incredibly fucked up nation.

    I honestly don't think unions should be legal and worker's rights should be controlled by legislature.

    It's raining, down tools!

    It's a warm day today, down tools!

    We don't have enough icecream down tools! (this has happened and oil rigs now usually sever around eight different types)

    Also union bosses end up being as shonky as corporation heads.

    Any good "corporations" have done has absolutely been outweighed by all the evil they have created and are constantly perpetrating in the world, sorry. A token donation to a small town does not balance out training death squads in South America, stealing African aquifers, using child labour, using sweat-shop labour, etc. It just doesn't.

    Right, because treating people like dirt didn't exist before big corporations. Get real.

    Every major society and every major form of government has done plenty of deplorable shit throughout all of human history. If you fault big corporations, you need to hold every thing to the same standard, and everything would fail.

    i remember them jerks at the union callin' dad a scab because he didn't agree on some shit with him yet leavin him alone when it came time to going on the job

    them same cats unfastened some bolts on his car

    he wasn't in it when they came off, but ma and i were

    the way they were sheared off near the end suggests they were loosened beforehand as we'd just got our shit rotated and checked
