Che Guevara
« on: November 29, 2017, 03:20:46 AM »
What do you all think of Mr. Guevera? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara#Intellectual_and_literary_interests

Hero? Villain?

My general take on him is he had strong beliefs and a very firm  and specific sense of right and wrong and a definite interest in helping the poor and disadvantaged of Latin America. But in so doing he had no problem being ruthless and merciless in obtaining those aims.

My take? an intriguing man with his heart...in a place he thought was right but too ruthless and unmerciful in his execution.

Please, Sister...He is not, Mr. Guevara.  :smileshake: He is El Comandante Che Guevara--Por favor, please, S'il vous plaît.  ::)

I blame the Che tee shirt for the now ubiquitous hipster look.
Obviously if there was no Che there'd be no Che tee shirt.
Ye but there's lots of Jesus paraphernalia and it's doubtful there was THE Jesus
Shut up voice, you're not helping.
Anyway I don't approve of facial hair.
I had some one holiday, I was young, I knew it was wrong and I never did it again.

He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion, such a humble man
The only survivor of the National People's Gang
Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone

Oh wow, another thread. I bet there won't be any discussion from the OP in this one either.

Probably not, but we can talk about David Bowie...or maybe "Diarios de Motocicleta" or as it is known in english, "The Motorcycle Diaries". I saw the movie starring Gael Garcia Bernal, and enjoyed it quite a bit.

I have always wanted to read the book, and it is on my "To Read List".

Thinking it might be a good book to suggest for the HAF Book Club.

What do you sneering atheists think about that?

As the top sneering atheist, here, I want to say that I already watched "Diarios de Motocicleta." --I bought it. I enjoyed it, as well. It's about a guy riding a motorcycle, unlike a guy riding a buffalo.
