Communists - They are the lowest form of life on earth. Share the wealth? What wealth? There is no wealth in communism, just poverty.

I think the Chinese would think differently.

"To get rich is glorious." - Deng Xiaoping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China

If anything, The United States and Western Europe is more communist than anyone else in the world.  China, Vietnam, Moldova, and Nepal (the last two have democratically elected communists in power) all have much higher GINI coefficients than the West.

China is regarded as a dictatorship and  is well known for its disregard for human rights and civil liberties. People can not speak out against the government in China. I am pretty certain there are no elections in China. Human rights do not exist in China. There is no such thing as a fair and just trial in China. Chinese government has quick effective trials and it usually wins court cases. 

US and Europe are  liberal democracies and western society regard civil liberties and human rights as essential for all citizens. People can protest against the government in liberal democracies in Europe and US. All adult citizens in US and Europe and US can vote in elections. The court systems in US and Europe are more fair and just and citizens have a better chance of winning against the government in a legal dispute. 

There is a huge difference between Socialism, social democracy and Communism. Communism is a dictatorship where  a one party government that rules over the citizens, government owns most assets, government runs most businesses,  government has rule over every citizen and the government oppresses the people through various methods. Communist nation is usually lead by a corrupt despotic dictator and there are no elections: think Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc. A Communist dictator comes to power through non democratic ways: they are not voted into power. A military coup, revolution(China and Russia) a Communist party takes over the government and runs the country after a huge blood bath. 

Socialism and social democracy are not always dictatorships: a government is formed in a two or three party party. The Socialist party governs for the people and the workers and union leaders are usually members of the Socialist party. Socialist governments that have come to power through democratic process through no blood bath.

Ahem... Not to stray further off topic, but I just wanted to say GO ROCKIES!!!!! Shame we completely choked in the World Series the first time we made it. I'd been waiting for years for us to get there and win. At least we accomplished half of that.

I take it your from Colorado considering you like all the Colorado teams I like?

Don't worry about going off topic even our communist friend Mr Mao was talking about sports in here.

Yes. I'm a huge fan of all the Colorado teams (though I admit I only really follow the Broncos, the Rockies, and the Avalanche). 

Well nobody can watch them all. I only watch the Avs and the Broncos myself. Hopefually it does not take the Rockies or any others more than a decade to go to a chapionship game again.

I live Colorado Springs just curious where you live?

Hopefully, but I don't have particularly high hopes for most of the teams, the Avs excluded. 
I'm in Boulder, but I'm from Brighton. Probably won't be going back there though. I started college last year.

The guy that works at the Xerox place at my Uni (starting today he's my new mortal enemy).

Are you serious about some of these?

Conspiracy theorists - NO, we're not all being controlled by demons from outer space, there's nothing in Area 51 (now), Al-Qaeda organised 9/11, and the illuminati either don't exist or aren't crazy satanists.

Communists - Same reasons as you.

Orange - They have the most patronising and annoying ad campaigns I have ever seen. Signalfest? Awesomesaurus? Seriously? Do you think this sounds cool? "Hip"? "In with it"? It doesn't. It sounds lame. It sounds pathetic. It sounds like a group of 50 year olds trying to sound young.

Homophobics/Racists - We all have 23 pairs of chromosomes, two arms, two legs, a heart and a brain. You can't say somebody is inferior because of melanin levels in the skin or preferring their own gender.

Religious Fundamentalists - The whole lot of them. Islam gets all of the bad press, of course, but Christians and Jews can be just as bad, and so can Hindus and Buddhists, I'm sure.

The Taliban - Yeah, even without the religious fundamentalism. They turned on the people who supported them through a war and preserved their freedom. They oppress people, they attack innocents, pretty much everything they do is completely ridiculous, and the world would be a much better place if they would go get hit by a nuke or something.

People who say "I could care less" - That means you care a great deal.

Ppl hu tipe lyk dis - You have ten fingers. You have a keyboard. The rest of us can type in proper English (or French or Spanish or whatever), so the only thing keeping you from doing the same is pure laziness.

People who use Twitter (excluding celebrities/famous people in general) - NOBODY CARES about the personal details of your life, your latest blog post on nothing of any relevance to anyone, or the ten year old joke which you've just heard.

The British Labour Party - Washed up has-beens with no idea of the current situation of the country, coupled with young lunatics who got their ideas of government from their Communist father.

People who criticise gaming without ever having experienced it - I'm looking at you, right-wing media.

Bobby Kotick - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR-

Those guys on N4G who insist our sales are made up - Your face is made up.

90% of people who have ever commented on a YouTube video - If aliens get their impression of our civilisation from YouTube, we're all fucked.

People who talk to you with one earphone in - You're hearing half the song, you're clearly not listening, and you keep mouthing the words while I'm trying to speak!

And many, many, many more...
