If you could bring back one great artist that has


departed our world who would it be? We have lost some incredibly talented artists, often under tragic circumstances. If it were possible to have an encore I would vote for Janis Joplin. You?

Ivan, I believe so and really feel like it too! Gettin' tired of all those GeStaPo-like FBI tactics, arrests, murders and tortures. Seems like they've learned from KGB or perhaps visa versa. Lennon was violent manic criminal all his life, but since he was celebrity, those facts were hidden. For money you can purchase freedom no matter how heavy crime you commit and you've seen that it's piece of cake with money involved. Purchase all judges and jury = case dismissed. Wanna send someone to death row? Just purchase judges and jury and there you go. USSR was joke indeed compared to USA.
What utter B.S.

How many people died in the Soviet Gulag?

I am so tired of ignorant claims citing a moral equivalency (or worse) between the US and any number of thug-operated countries.

If feeling homesick - LEAVE.
Ghost, I probably forgot to ask you what to do. Thanks for advise.

Do you mean ignorant claims on dishonest government violent conducts against its own citizens on its own soil??? Does it REALLY matter if they're compared or not compared to Soviets or Nazi Germany?

Ignorant is not to notice and continue saluting "Yes Sir" to Patriot Act, NDAA, Jade Helm 15 and welcome'em all near your home. I don't want to see ANY uniformed "units" with 50-caliber barrels near my home at any time. I'm allergic to'em by developing a nausea symptoms smelling too many dead bodies.
Well, Ghosthouse, 12 million Native Americans were exterminated like rats under the guise of "manifest destiny"
as the US stole their lands from coast to coast, just for starters.

There is NO major country in this world that does not have blood dripping from every pore.

USA=Russia=Germany=France=Britian ad infinitum.
We are ALL guilty ! And your LEAVE crap is the ready and sure reply of the fool.
All nations have blood on the hands historically, but that does not make their atrocities equal.

A few examples, both Great Britain and the U.S. practiced slavery, but the plantation system and the institutionalized racism was far more brutal. The U.S. committed genocide against the native Americans, but they didn't gas and burn them as a matter of policy. Towards the end of WW2, if you were German who would you rather have surrendered to, U.S./Britain or Russian forces?
