Michael Collins is regarded as one of the greatest ever Irishmen for his role in the Anglo-Irish war. However he signed the treaty that divided Ireland in two and laid the foundations for the troubles in the north of the country at the present day. He used borrowed British guns to drive Anti-Treaty forces out of central Dublin and started the Irish civil war which was the most bitter war in 20th century Ireland with Irishmen killing Irishmen. Many say that when he was killed in an ambush by Anti-Treaty forces in West Cork in August 1922 that he got what he deserved. What do people think about this?

I'm a slacker. I've gotten nowhere in my life as yet, I work at the postal services, I'm single, I don't go out... I'm very laid back, and if I see how others my age do, I wonder why. What do you think is best, personally: my life as a slacker or their "house-garden-tree" life with wife and kids ?

Why does the Aryan Nations call Saddam Hussein a martyr? He was certainly no saint. He was no freedom fighter. He was a Muslim and probably not even a good one. Oh and by the way, I do not believe he was white either? Could anyone explain how this makes sense? right now I myself believe that it does not make sense at all and that is probably because the Aryan Nations also does not make sense.

The meaning of life is to help the living organisms to continue their evolution and discovery; elimination if necessary.

There have been Trotskyists in the USA for a very long time yet it does not appear to me that they can even get along with each other never mind lead a workers movement. In fact I think that most of them are not workers at all but come from the college campuses. I welcome any and all opinions and answers. What do you think?

This man was educated and worked for a while in the Western world. He was disgusted at the social inequalities he saw and at the evils of Colonialism. He trully loved his people and freed his country from French colonial rule before taking on the might of the US who sought to murder his people and destroy his country simply because he wanted a socialist economy rather than see his people exploited by US capitalist corporations. Despite great suffering imposed on his people by the US capitalists he was victorious and he stands as an inspiration for all who love freedom

All of us know that this universe is made up of 5 elements, all of which are being polluted by the second. Most of us have gone so blind that we have forgotten lakes, rivers, fresh air, mountains, and a lovely stroll in the greenery which only the lap of Mother Nature can provide.

What use is even the best of our inventions, if it pollutes Nature. All of us know that we are only as good as we feel inside, and only our conscience is the chief source of peace and tranquillity, which make life sublime.

Seeing all round me that only the external is development, which constitutes 0% of the source of joy, and total ignorance and inclination (in action) to do what is good makes me feel that I am living in a DARK age!

The only hope is in going back to Nature, as they say, and in the belief that we all have equal rights.

As I start to age in years
I have no fears, I shed no tears
I lived my life, the way it came
It’s all a game, we all have shame

For all of you, I hope you’ll say
That in my day, I smiled your way
For those who are my chosen few
I do love you, you need no clue

So when I see the life I’ve had
I get glad, I get sad
And when I do my final rest
I did my best, for those who jest

For those who shed a tear for me
Eventually, we’re all set free
For my life will never end
You’ll see that when, we meet again
