They're not calling you a communist to insult or offend you. They are calling you a communist to stop people from listening to you.

So what you are saying is that Robin Hood's companions were the violent ones, despite the fact that, in Robin Hood and the Monk, he was in hiding for serious crimes?

You could just read the Wiki page for the ballad and see that Hood killed a dozen guards who were trying to capture him after he went into the city because he wanted to go to church.

Also, Hood was perfectly fine when Little John and Much murdered the monk, his page (a child) and the jailer in order to rescue him

So, you are just going to ignore the innocent people he killed? Not the guards, but the innocents as well.

I guess you are OK with the term "collateral damage" when the outcome is something that you want to see.

Did you miss the part where he killed people? Not all of them were corrupt oppressors. Some of them were guards or innocent people who happened to be in the way. He was ruthless in his pursuit of corruption, and he didn't care.

But, he was devout in his desire to never harm women, so I guess that makes him a good guy.

He didn't give the money he stole to the poor, like in the modern versions.

How did you draw that conclusion?

At a time of wealth inequality, Hood stole from the wealthy and corrupt. He didn't redistribute what he stole, but he also did not target the poor or oppressed. All it took for him to be worshipped in folklore was standing up to the oppressors.

No. In the original versions, as far as we know, Robin Hood did not give away what he stole.

That first link is about the story Robin Hood and the Monk, which is not flattering to anyone. The second is a BBC review of the new movie, which also gives some history into the oral and written versions.

"Hood" did not distribute the wealth he found. That version appeared much later.

The original songs were the same as the writings, as far as we know. The original Robin Hood was a violent thief who targeted wealthy people and kept what he stole. I am guessing that the new movie is along those lines.

Robin Hood was most definitely not a good guy in the original writings. He was a violent outlaw.

I really hate to tell you this, but in the original writing, Robin Hood was a violent thug. Later interpretations romanticised his image into the rogue with a good heart. And the whole point of A Christmas Carol was to show Scrooge growing a heart.

That isn't 100 paid days off. Being in session is only part of their job. They are supposed to work towards improving their districts and life for their constituents when not in session.

This is all Jobama's fault. He weaponised the National Parks by arming bears, and they marched on the Capitol on Jan 6 to demand that pizza shops sacrifice Mike Pence to the swamp God.

I finished reading IT, but only because I kept waiting for the part that wasn't, in my opinion, crap.

I really hope a very smart general is playing the role of a Hegseth loyalist whilst organising a coup.

I know it was a typo, but "patter of protocol" had me giggling as I imagined little draft documents tottering about until they are approved and become final.

Biden, in fact, did not say that. His answer was more complex.
