So what is the Final Solution to the Communist Problem?

what problem?

It don't mean a thing....
Your three members perhaps. Is that the problem or the solution though?
Communism is a beautiful ideal, but was of course fundamentally flawed in practice. Human nature is such that there will always be someone whose ambition exceeds those of other people and those other people are not prepared to control it. Communism can only work in two scenarios (no, not Civ ones): (a)in an enclosed community, sort of like a kibbutz - there are quite a few examples of idealists doing this across the globe, not all communist, but where there is no outside interference then the system can work, and (b) across the whole world. In both situations there is nothing to compare communism with, and as such, no greed and no-one is prepared to try and outdo their neighbour. If everyone wanted to share everything absolutely then I believe it would work, but only if it was introduced with no knowledge of anything else. Cuba is not a communist country per se, but I still respect the Cubans for standing up to the might of America and pursuing their dreams of self-government in the face of massive international pressure. And they're not that bad at baseball either!

I don't have a fancy keyboard Allan, just a regular UK one (almost the same as a US one). The trick is to first type it into a word processor like Word which has a special "insert Special Character" mode where you can select it from a menu or by a keyboard shortcut (in Word's case ctrl-' and then o). Or you can find the word on the web and cut and paste, or you can feed your English word into a translator and cut and paste the result. It's easy. CFC seems to take all sorts of characters - hence I am able to have a title with two o-umlauts and an eth: Lögsögumaðr.

Eth that what it means?
This is the third time I've posted this info in different threads, but everyone with a PC should know:
To get accents in pretty much every programme then hold down the Alt key and type in one of the following numbers on the number-locked keypad:
é - 130, â - 131, ä - 132, à - 133, å - 134, ç - 135, ê - 136, ë - 137,
è - 138, ï - 139, î - 140, ì - 141, Ä - 142, Å - 143, É - 144, æ - 145,
Æ - 146, ô - 147, ö - 148, ò - 149, û - 150, ù - 151, ÿ - 152,
Ö - 153, Ü - 154, ø - 155.
This is not a definitive list - it doesn't contain Stormerne's eth, but it is very useful when you are typing something, although I wouldn't bother trying to learn them beyond the ones you'll use a lot. I type in French so I use é quite a lot. Much quicker than using the drop down menus for accents.

So, when is the first poll showing up?

"Hey allan, the portuguese word for cabrón is cabrão. It is used in pretty much the same way, and literally it means big goat in both laguages. But originally it defined a guy that was cheated by his wife..."
Ah, like a "****old"--the metaphoric symbol for that in literature was a goat, too, I believe.... I thought it meant "bastard" (I looked it up once when I lived in Guatemala, but I also looked up some other words I heard too, and may have confused some....) I later figured out the other "familiar" or "slang" meanings from conversation--like a friend's son was "cabron" because he was tough and assertive for his age, and a "hellion". I was called "cabron" sometimes in a good-natured way too (and I wasn't ****olded by any girlfriends there, at least as far as I know.... ).
