The "Glorious Revolution" was something quite different to the French Revolution. Spider Jerusalem Jun 2012 #13

The "Glorious Revolution" that was mentioned in the other thread referred to the Russian one. Zalatix Jun 2012 #16

Wow. Summer Hathaway Jun 2012 #17

Wow, indeed. Your post is full of lies, denial and ignorance. Zalatix Jun 2012 #19

"This economy is rapidly approaching a point where it doesn't even need 95% of the population." CleanLucre Jun 2012 #108

"the only incremental steps we're taking are steps BACKWARDS." Lydia Leftcoast Jun 2012 #117

You are absolutely correct about this: sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #147

Yup. Either that, or outright denial. Zalatix Jul 2012 #149

In reply ... Summer Hathaway Jul 2012 #152

To hell with small, incremental changes. WE NEED IMMEDIATE AND RADICAL CHANGE! Zalatix Jul 2012 #156

yeah, summer just pwned the OP dionysus Jun 2012 #97

Love DU3's transparency... SidDithers Jun 2012 #115

Rec list suggests that 14 people say I pwned Summer Hathaway. Bet that hurts you a lot. Zalatix Jun 2012 #128

LOL.. you're lucky they got rid of unrec... dionysus Jun 2012 #132

Oh quit your whining about a lack of unrec. Besides, your champion has scurried off anyway. Zalatix Jun 2012 #134

my my, you seem to get quite upset when people don't like your opinion. dionysus Jun 2012 #139

Dang, you can dish it out but you sure can't take it, can you? Zalatix Jul 2012 #140

we seem to have a disconnect here. you're the one getting all angy and i'm the one laughing... dionysus Jul 2012 #144

We do have a disconnect here. It stands between your statements and reality. Zalatix Jul 2012 #145

This message was self-deleted by its author Ken Burch Jun 2012 #21

Yes, I agree. My point was some of us were being accused of wanting the 1917 Russian revolution Zalatix Jun 2012 #22

Of course it isn't. Ken Burch Jun 2012 #23

wow, kinda embarrassing that I haven't heard of the Diggers before Zalatix Jun 2012 #31

I thought it was embarrassing that you thought the Glorious Revolution referred to the Bolsheviks alcibiades_mystery Jun 2012 #44

Considering the context in which it was mentioned, and the responses that came from others Zalatix Jun 2012 #47

I think its more a matter of process rather than effect. DCBob Jun 2012 #32

At this point I don't ever see a liberal utopia happening. Zalatix Jun 2012 #35

A successful revolution doesnt necessarily mean the economy will improve... DCBob Jun 2012 #45

The American Revolution was particularly bloody, as was the US Civil War Zalatix Jun 2012 #49

A reduction in consumption always results in a slow-down in the economy. DCBob Jun 2012 #50

Standards of living can still rise, for everyone. Zalatix Jun 2012 #53

Our high standard of living is directly tied to consumption. DCBob Jun 2012 #57

Yes you have a point there. Zalatix Jun 2012 #84

Look what happens to Dems who color outside the corporate lines Lydia Leftcoast Jun 2012 #119

And now character assassinations are a new weapon to use against true liberals. Zalatix Jul 2012 #150

No. Wrong end of the civil war. Warren Stupidity Jun 2012 #40

OK. Still, its results were purely reactionary, and helped create the "British Empire". Ken Burch Jun 2012 #121

That was the English Civil War, not the Glorious Revolution. Spider Jerusalem Jun 2012 #52

I stand corrected Ken Burch Jun 2012 #120

I don't know about that Spider Jerusalem Jun 2012 #122

Id like to see a revolution... minus the blood and the guillotines. DCBob Jun 2012 #24

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable" -JFK Fumesucker Jun 2012 #25

Alot of wisdom in that statement. DCBob Jun 2012 #26

It's quite possible cbrer Jun 2012 #27

Don't think there are many of us who actually WANT blood and guillotines. Ken Burch Jun 2012 #34

The OP seems rather partial to the guillotines, actually alcibiades_mystery Jun 2012 #46

I meant that as more figurative than literal. DCBob Jun 2012 #48

History shows that sooner or later there is an uprising against the oppressor. hobbit709 Jun 2012 #28

The Plutocracy needs it burned into their psyche that bad things happen cbrer Jun 2012 #30

You will be FLAMED as a Bolshevik Revolutionary for savoring that. Zalatix Jun 2012 #33

When I hear the term "Glorious Revolution" ... Laelth Jun 2012 #37

I don't think the op has a clue what the term means. Warren Stupidity Jun 2012 #42

Perhaps you need to actually read the cites I post? Zalatix Jun 2012 #51

.... crickets ..... CleanLucre Jun 2012 #91

I don't think it's *possible* to know what is meant by the phrase "Glorious Revolution". Occulus Jun 2012 #63

Really it is possible. Warren Stupidity Jun 2012 #64

The person who first made the "Glorious revolution" comment didn't know that. Zalatix Jun 2012 #79

Cromwell's civil war, that was easy nadinbrzezinski Jun 2012 #126

You will never be able claim that I am factually wrong. You have no counter argument. Zalatix Jun 2012 #75

And you will never be able to predict the future. trumad Jun 2012 #85

Well, I just did. And what I said is 100% correct, too. You can't refute anything I said. Zalatix Jun 2012 #86

You have to look at where CleanLucre Jun 2012 #98

You will never claim that I am wrong when I say this, because I am 100% right. Zalatix Jun 2012 #74

i've seen these same tired doomsday predictions for 12 years here. dionysus Jun 2012 #99

Those aren't predictions I posted. Those are historical facts. Zalatix Jun 2012 #102

that sounds CleanLucre Jun 2012 #100

Yep. "Reason" along with "knowledge" appear to be on short supply Number23 Jul 2012 #153

Yet you admit you can't show where I am wrong. Zalatix Jul 2012 #159

you don't have to predict the future CleanLucre Jun 2012 #93
