Robin Hood Takes From The Rich and Gives To The Poor.... * 4
    #19173397 - 11/22/13 01:50 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Now, before all you Moonbats start cumming in your pants, lets analyze this carefully.

1) Yes, Robinhood did take from the rich and give to the poor.

2) But in Robinhood, 'The Rich' was the government, the Sheriff of Notingham, not anyone out to earn a living.

Sorry, Robin Hood is about limiting government, not looting citizens to spread the wealth.  :smug: :smirk:

Very enlightening breakdown. On a side note, what do you think of Chicago's 26 Billion Dollar pension shortfall? That's twice as much as Detroit's. That's a big problem going to happen, stupid that instead of paying for essential services like fire fighting, police, sewage, power/energy, public schools they are going to have to be paying for peoples bloated pensions.

To get back to your analogy. I'm fine with robin hood stealing from the "rich" and giving the "poor" essential services that they can't afford, like the above mentioned things.

Starfire If you were rich, you were some kind of lord, everything was individually made by craftsman it was PRE-industrial revolution, there was no corporations who were getting tax exemptions or hand outs from the government. There were no CEOs making 365x more then their workers which is up from 42x only a few years ago.

It's funny because you are right, he was stealing from the tax man. The Sheriff of Nottingham was corrupt and greedy so he jacked up taxes and his goons harassed the people.

No, it was George Soros.

At least a CEO though, works.  Look at John Kerry--mega rich and it was shoved up his butt along with the silver spoon.

I'm 100% sure that Robin Hood was out for himself and only gave like 1% of what he stole to the poor to look good.

He was a greedy motherfucker like other man.

Actually, no.  The whole robbing the rich to give to the poor was only added in the late 19th century.  Before that, he was just a violent thief that stole from dishonest people and helped whomever he wanted, including himself.

The legend started 600 years before that

Academics, meanwhile, have combed the historical record for evidence of a real Robin Hood. English legal records suggest that, as early as the 13th century, “Robehod,” “Rabunhod” and other variations had become common epithets for criminals. But what had inspired these nicknames: a fictional tale, an infamous bandit or an amalgam of both? The first literary references to Robin Hood appear in a series of 14th- and 15th-century ballads about a violent yeoman who lived in Sherwood Forest with his men and frequently clashed with the Sheriff of Nottingham. Rather than a peasant, knight or fallen noble, as in later versions, the protagonist of these medieval stories is a commoner. Little John and Will Scarlet are part of this Robin’s “merry” crew—meaning, at the time, an outlaw’s gang—but Maid Marian, Friar Tuck and Alan-a-Dale would not enter the legend until later, possibly as part of the May Day rituals.

I know...but he was just a violent thief until the late 19th century.  As a result, most of his existence, he hasn't "robbed from the rich to give to the poor."

Wasn't Ivanhoe the genesis of the Robin Hood myth?
