Monopoly for Socialists

damo won you lost get over it, sound familiar ? A difference of opinion? nah a difference of ethos, of morals, peter griffin versus flanders, bart v lisa, warner v cooke, damocracy v democracy, liar v lied-to, exploiter v exploited, piss-taking dressed up as "bantz" ffs
 
My main issue was with the "absolutely hilarious" billing it got in the first post. Mildly amusing at best.

Reminds me of that Stewart Lee bit:
"Was it funny?"
"No, but I agreed the fuck out of it."

It perfectly meets the definition of satire.

Also, when you are talking about socialism here you are talking about the dictionary definition version if it and not how it is used colloquially amongst the target audience for this.

Monopoly also doesn't properly represent monopolies or their formation but I dont see you complaining about that. The argument on preciseness of the representation of socialism rather than just knowing what they're driving at and taking it in the right spirit is a weird type of semantics.

I have an old chestnut for this, hold on.

No mate, I'm talking about socialism, it's an economic term and stance, not a social one. You're failing to realise that political position consists of a double axis, as are they.

Its just a but of fun lads. You lot take yourselves so seriously all the time.

"NOBODY MAY MOCK OR SATIRISE MY BELIEFS"

Have a day off hey? It's a funny board game parodying American views of socialism. Its not the end of civilisation.

Also, extra top big marks to the guy who suggested that introducing a political aspect to Monopoly will hurt sales. High IQ posting.

Let's drop the difference of opinion for a second. Damo, I'm genuinely worried for you right now. Your behaviour's nothing like it used to be. I've been on this forum a lot longer than the opening date of my account suggests and I've never seen you this riled up so frequently. You were always strong-willed and so was I, and we clashed years ago on many occasions because of this, but that was all water under the bridge during different times in our lives. You're a bloke with intelligence and knowledge far beyond my own, yet here you are buying a game of Monopoly to own the libs. And this is after the way you embarrassed yourself quite royally with racist humour in the thread about the podcast hosts being sacked. Racist humour that was quietly and swiftly deleted before too many people saw it.

When I re-joined Bluemoon around this time last year I noticed you'd been on and off the forum for some time and noticed that you hadn't been posting much at all until about two weeks ago. Fair enough, we all want down time. I last had a permanent account on here before Pep took over, I think. I decided to spend quite a lot of time away because I was taking the place far too seriously and getting personally involved with absolute nonsense on here. Now, don't get me wrong, we all get sucked into arguments we'd rather not have and find as many ways as possible to back out of them, but this really isn't you. I remember you having intellectual and reasoned debates with people for pages and pages on a range of subjects until you both reconciled your differences and agreed to disagree.

This could, of course, be a sign that my memory's betraying me, but I thought I'd see if everything was alright.

You remind me of those guys who complain there are black people or women in WW2 video games.

Your version still exists. You're under no obligation to buy this. You can buy any version of Monopoly you like. This has no effect on your ability to play Monopoly.

A company has released a product which caters to a certain amount of people and has no effect on anyone else.

Also, again, it's a joke game. You know, humour? Do you even remember what that is any more?

Wait till someone likes your post then the real hate and bile will start :-)

Be careful, I suggested similar a week or so ago, I got banned and all posts removed.
