A begining based on extreme distrust and an underlying threat is not conductive to friendship in my opinion. But hey, what am i saying, anythings possible, understandings can be reached. I would see that kind of behaviour as a big barrier, because threats have a tendency to escalate.

Ahh, but in your previous statement, you simply referred to approaching another with a gun in one's pocket, just in case, and that it negated any chance of being friends with that person. I personally don't see how simply being prepared does this. Of course, in your last post, you refer to extreme distrust and underlying threat, which, of course I agree, would not be effectively conductive towards the formation of friendship. I don't see how both of your statements are representing the same idea, however.

Your right, i was too extreme in my wording. They aren't necessarily related. If you understand the weapon is there merely as a precaution and that its nothing personal, there shouldn't be a problem. But there is another way of thinking, "Why does this person have a gun? Does he plan to shoot me if i don't agree with him or i make him angry? is this some kind of threat? I hardly know him and he could kill me at will" The reason for carrying the gun can be different from person to person, but its not really the same statement as handing someone a peace pipe, it does show a certain level of distrust, not to say that distrust is unreasonable. I'm not sure how i would personally respond to this myself.

Right, it was russians fault that the CIA overthrew a legitimate elected government.
So if there was no such entity as the USSR do you think the situation would played out even remotely the same? Everyone played their role. Also, you might want to start reading my posts before replying to them. look at the bold, how the fuck could i have been anymore clear

Trying to equate what happened in Chile to Hungary is a fucking disgrace if you knew anything. It shames me to know that what happened in chile and hungary was America's fault. The US had a bad habit at the time of either under or overachieving neither of which worked out well. That still has nothing to do with USSR being an enemy to the west and it's own people. And without soviet intervention and influence in Chile, it's unlikely Pinochet or any brutal dictator who perceived there was a need for polliticide would have came to power.

I think I'm done with this thread.... When Fecalwhatshisname starts changing the subject with arguments that support the arguments of those he's arguing against... it's just like shooting retarded fish in a barrel at this point
He's just making history up that the soviets were over the 38th parallel.. and if they were... they just supports my original argument that the soviets can't be trusted. He's arguing *MY* point for with fiction. Ain't that hilarious.
Lets all just ignore him and maybe he'll go away.
