I think anarchy might be possible if everyone had their own force field, independent food supply and shelter.
You're totally skewing history, in order to compare something that is totally unrelated to my view. "The Firm" as you called it, took advantage of the fact that Rome had No Fire Department. In other words, it was a monopoly, and thus, made the price go up. There are no monopolies in america, and, I am not saying one corporation should be Government, because that would still be Government. Some water companies and electric companies, are Government run monopolies. School scholarships, medicade, USPS and, everything else the Government touches is proof that when the Government gets involved; Prices go up, qaulity of care goes down, and, the distribution is eliminated. You're doing the thing Liberals always do: You're Demonizing me for something that is not even similar to my views. Not only was the Company a monopoly, but, the owner was also a politician. There's no reason to get into the great depression; it was orchestrated by the Banksters, but, instead of looking this stuff up, you Liberals write it off as "Conspiracy," even if the information is in the public domain. --- Sorry, but you're acting like Campaign Finances has been going on for decades, and it's only been roughly 8 years; Campaign Finance reform will do absolutely nothing, because it was going on way before it was legal. and Obama, even though he claims to be about "Finance reform" he obtain the votes of the majority of the Richest counties, and, receives campaign finances by the same people who supported Bush... "If it's a demon baby, I say 'get rid of it.'"-adam kokesh I doubt it... Yes, I am "inflexible" because I don't think Government should have a pass to act as a God and, kill, steal and, maim, as means of maintaining "Order." and you are MORE inflexible because you're not happy unless people are complying with most of the problems in Government. I'm NOT Misjudging you, I said "correct me if I'm wrong," but, instead of correcting me, you make personal attacks, essentially calling me an "extremist," because I'm one of very few people, who look at the Government for what it is, and not some great protector. I have every Right to speak my mind. and, if I am wrong somehow, why don't you tell me where I am wrong? Fda, Cia and, the other stuff I mentioned, are basic Government functions that a majority of Liberals/Government sympathizers support and "There isn't enough money in the system for everyone to be middle class," is a fact and not just your opinion? No, it's your opinion. Printing more money, causes inflation, which makes prices go up. Therefore, it doesn't matter how much physical paper we have. Statistics aren't automatically fact. Like most statistics, they are skewed and falsified to push an agenda, much like "gun deaths" as opposed to "gun MURDERS" which, are two entirely different things. In this case, people move and/or forget to refile everytime they have to, which means they are removed, and they (even if they reapply the same day) will bring the statistics for everyone down.. Ok..? Government Spending cuts, is not near represented by the cuts I would like... Even when they cut in america, they only "cut" on 'expected Increases' It's easy to spend money that doesn't belong to you, isn't it? The reason why they were freaking out and wanting more money, is because the whole banking system is based on the lie and con of "fractional reserve banking.) This means banks can use 10x as much money as they actually have; and this is not due to a true free market, but rather, Government control of the economy. It is not the taxpayers responsibility to stop corrupt businesses from failing...
"ha. Stp is loon, because he negged repped me" Why don't you tell the people why? I negged repped this post, and I said "You've got nothing" i don't remember what I followed that up on. But, either way, this was a snarl, rude and, typical ignorant Liberal comment, that believes any views that say we don't need a system of force, is a threat to their very way of life. Your propaganda is based on greed and ignorance, and, I can't help but to laugh, cause you Liberals are quick to jump on knee-jerk reactionary beliefs, based on misconceptions. and, that's why someone else is disliking your posts. That, and they see Right though the Governments propaganda, and, at what they are. I don't even think you should open your mouth about america, as long as you're still under the Queen. I mean, who do you think you are to determine how we should spend our money, or, what is too much power for OUR Government? You Liberals always believe you have all the answers, but, that's only because you write every differing opinion off as "Right wing gun nut conspiracies" It's already too late for all of you...
I said you had nothing, because you avoided answering my question while still managing to spew a bunch of your overused rhetoric. You don't answer the hard questions because you don't have the answers, because you haven't actually thought through the logistics of your utopia. You're a complete moron, despite your (poor) attempts to come across as intelligent. But really, what do I expect from a guy who can't use a fucking comma and doesn't know what the word liberal means? This is my last post in this thread, but please feel free to follow this up with an incoherent rambling about how I'm acting like a typical liberal obama sympathizer (despite your inability to actually point out a single time that I've said I support obama), and make sure to throw some misused words and caps lock in there, just so we know that it is really you. PS: I think the word you were looking for was snarky, not snarl. And to be clear, the Queen has no real authority over Canada, and I am in favour of cutting all ties with the British crown.
Eggsprog- I directly gave you two answers for your misconception. So, you're either lying deliberately, or, you really should work on your reading comprehension.
I know what a Liberal is, and the more I have to deal with you fake, rude and, violent people, the more I dislike you, and realize that your views are based on forcing people into compliance, just as republicans are. Just because you don't study basic policy of the fucking Federal Government, don't take your ignorance out on me... I know you don't support Obama, but, like it or not, Obama's policies represent Liberalism, and most Liberals still support him. It is because Liberals don't want any real change, and, if I was wrong, you Liberals could answer how, instead of stomping your feet, and acting like babies. Making personal insults instead of analyzing on your violent views, or even, taking a second to question them. Instead, you insist you're Right, and don't even take a second to question your own fucking views. I can't help but to laugh at the utter ignorance. Government has been caught in so many scandals, that, suggesting it's not wide-spread is a joke. Liberalism is absolute Government power. You want Government to have power over healthcare, welfare, warfare, food supplies, water supplies, gas supplies and,the education system. No matter how Humanitarian you pretend it is, what you advocate is merely putting all powers in the hands of Government, and having blind faith they will do the right thing. Meanwhile, we've had over a century of the exact opposite in america, and, you Liberals just ignore it. I can point out thousands of examples of Government corruption, but you Liberals will always claim it's not "wide spread" I believe there is no point at which liberals believe Government has TOO much power. Yes, it's "normal" to burn toddlers for their parents victimless crimes, kill dogs and, harass people for non-violent victimless crimes. I'M the "extreme" one
Liberal,fake,rude,violent,dislike,forcing,don't study,fucking federal government,ignorance,stomping, babies. Huh. All in one post. And they say reasonable debate is gone.
Now, another self-proclamed Liberal (who also advocated for Obama in his sig, back in 2012) has to jump in, and take a few words I said, to try to make me look bad. Liberals have this perception of themselves, that they are some great healers and geniuses of society; Meanwhile, their views are pushed through 90% of the media, which gets it's news Right from the Obama administration.(abc, msnbc and, many many others) You simply don't grasp that you support Government Power, and that's exactly what is causing the abuse of power, by Government and corporations, that we have today. I already told you why "campaign finance reform" is a lie. What type of "change" do you Liberals want, other than Instituting Communistic forceful Government programs?
If I ever advocated for Obama--it would have been because for Romney to have gotten in would have been a worse disaster than the present administration. I am not a liberal. I lean more towards socialism which would be a much more favorable choice for ALL OF HUMANITY. Capitalism WILL HAVE TO STOP at some point, or we'll all be digging in garbage cans for leftovers from the rich. Millions have to do that NOW. You say society would be peaceful with no government---I know I could be peaceful. And many others could be. Life has NEVER BEEN peaceful in the world of human interaction. And it never will be---OR IT WOULD BE RIGHT NOW. It's not to the benefit of the öwners of societies ANY WHERE TO BE PEACEFUL, with some exceptions. You're not peaceful your own damn self---that's readily apparent in the way you express your opinions of others. You really should can it. Your spiel is wearing on the soul.
First off your attempt to say liberals, like us, want or see toddlers burning, is the exact kind of offensive characterization of others that gets us upset with your rhetoric and misconceptions. Why because it is wrong, nobody WANTS to see that except the psychologically sociopathic and anti-social. You take personal offense when your opinions are challenged and that doesn't make for a healthy conversation or help you open the eyes of anybody else here. Also your wrong about monopolies, USA law allows for Vertical monopolies, just not horizontal ones. --- And campaign finance reform hasn't worked well because voters aren't investigating and paying attention to who is funding the candidates of the D and R parties. The D's and R's always get elected to the top of the ticket and that's all. That's got to change. As soon as the public starts electing a smart critical thinking moderate independent person to office you'll see a more functional government, albeit not perfect. So no it's not a lie, but you've assumed something again and then applied a post hoc ergo proctor hoc fallacy to it. Your understanding of causation to this event is skewed. But we do agree there is too much private corporate money in politics. --- Both 60 minutes and Rachel Maddow of msnbc, have had stories on those "liberal" news networks criticizing why no financial high level bankers haven't gone to jail or been served legal charges. Also in the last 2 years I have hyperlinked that 60 minutes story on these forums. And you say those mainstream sources ONLY post pro-liberal stuff and NEVER point out the real problems or concerns.
Regarding your utopian society address the logistics concerns: 1. Population booms and economic growth without a system of credit. 2. Food production 3. Mass disease outbreaks like the bubonic plague that happened to our species. 4. If we go back to bartering or back to a gold/silver system what's the pros and cons behind doing so? How would you deal with piracy? 5. How would you deal with legalizing all current illegal drugs causing people to do crazy shit when they're on a trip? What about the property damage and potential lives lost at the hands of an addict who doesn't have a cent to their name because they spent their life chasing a drug high? Who reimburses those they hurt? You aren't gonna lock them up, because drug offenses are 100% decriminalized. These are the questions I'm grilling you on, based on the opinions of the ideal society you want to shape. I'm grilling you like a journalist would of a potential world leader. So don't get offended. ---- It also sounds like to me, you HATE the system of credit economically. Now I personally think nothing is wrong with credit as long as it's used responsibly and treated like cash and NOT over-leveraged. Bankers F'd up, and average citizens F'd up because they didn't understand that there was a ceiling on HOUSING and mortgages. The concept of "people will always need housing" so why would the bubble ever pop?" SOUNDED logical at face value. But it wasn't and many got duped, including some very rich people who lost money, and they were 1%'ers. Here's where we disagree, you say credit is the problem because you cite fractional reserve banking, which is basically credit and is the premise behind why we have FDIC insurance for citizens. The problem with fractional reserve banking, is not the concept itself, it's how much the private banks are taking in risk vs how much assets they are holding onto. The culture of treating other people's $ foolishly is F'd up, and banks shot themselves in the foot. They were private entities that failed and begged The Federal Reserve and government for help, and there was a strong chance we could've said No. But the consequences of that would effect whomever had loans or mortgages with the banks that could collapse, regardless if those people were good personally with their finances or not. Citizens would've lost their homes, and jobs from the economy contracting so hard. ^ can you deny and prove that that is a lie if the banks had not been bailed out?
again, false presumptions with no factual basis. The reason why every communistic system has become a tyrannical oligarch, is because any time you have one group of people at the top, they will always abuse their power. as I said, all you're doing is FORCING people to pay more, and relying on the Government, to direct our money, back into our hands. That is not fair. What about people who believe in Natural Medication? They're still force to pay for healthcare. Your ideals on "fair" are much more radical than mine, and as I said Karl marx supported KILLING "Capitalist" so, that should show what a violent system of submission it is. This is such rhetoric. The system you're advocating, ONLY puts wealth/power in the hands of Government, and leaves everyone else in need, (as you're trying portray capitalism.) I'm from NY, and I can say, that 99% of the bums there, are on drugs or alcohol. When you communist talk about taking care of people, you're really just talking about giving Government more power, to take more of our money and freedom There are not Millions "digging through the rich peoples trash." If you're that hungry, you can get help through churches and charities. I feel like I can't even talk to you Leftist, cause it's all knee-jerk reactions of total Government Control, for problems they caused in the first place You don't understand free market capitalism. and, your solution to this giant Government fuck-up, is even more Government programs being forced unto the populace. P.s You're yelling and screaming, but, you didn't answer my question... That's because the only thing Socialist/leftists want is more Government Programs and spending...
Frankly I don't think you even understand your OWN arguments or those of others. Anyway--have a good day.
I NEVER said, you want to see toddlers burned; I am saying you support a Government which burns toddlers (at home and abroad) daily, and, you think it's normal. You may all have different reasons for accepting a system of force,, but to say you don't support force is a direct lie. If you support a forceful group of terrorists, for whatever reason- the Government would still kill you/lock you up. Imo, you're supporting a group of terrorists, and asking for even more tyranny.
I understand your views, obviously you don't. This is why you leftist look like lying fools, because you're purposely diverting from logical points. It is you who doesn't understand Communism, because it's about FORCING people to give up 90% of the money they earned tooth and nail... You must've never worked a day in your life, because you seem not to comprehend that that money is stolen from the taxpayer, and wasted on Government and their corporate buddies. Wake up...
Math and statistics are only gonna fool those who don't understand how the calculations are done. Math, if you are fluent in it, doesn't lie. If someone tweaked the numbers, you'll notice it and you can also undo the tweak, OR you'll notice the numbers don't add up. ---- Statistics is a bit of a different ball game, but you rely on them everyday without realizing it. You can't say truthfully that they aren't good as a tool for the truth.
Yeah. Roofing is not work. Hell--anybody can do it. it's easy--even when I was 70. Try it some time. And no one--I repeat--NO ONE has ever called me a lying fool. Or anything else even close to that to my face. I might be 75 but----never mind. I'll not call you names because I was raised to show respect to others. 'nough said.
Communism doesn't work in reality but on paper in theory it works fine . The differing factor is that human nature F's up it's execution. And much like your view of society if you were to shape it, I see the same stonewall you've failed to explain how your idea of a utopia would survive and get through that obstacle. Again, religious ideology that motivates people to feel they can kill or mutilate another person or culture, combined with the scarcity of natural resources destroys any realistic possibility of this happening. People are brutal and selfish, and they are civil when it is convenient. The truly innocent who wish not to be violent in self-defense usually end up as casualties.
