Capitalism...

Quote:

the term is rather self defining of a civilization which humanity's (over all humanity not just the individual) needs are looked at.

I normally reject any principle that places the individual as a subordinate to some undefined common group's unspecified good. You can't determine what is right for humanity by dismissing the rights of the individual. What is right for the individual IS right for humanity.

Quote:

Also, a 'ruling' class or hierarchy is revealed to be as ineffective and uneeded as it actually is.

When was this revealed? Despite the existence of rights, there are those that will seek the cheap road in life by violating the rights of others. The government is in place to protect people from those who would violate their rights.

doesnt it seem to you that the economic system of the 'most money wins' has pushed our demoncracy asunder?

All the paid for TV ads in the world will not help the candidate win if he doesn't have the votes. It's not he with the most money wins, it's he with the most votes win. Now a good follow up question here would be, aren't people more likely to vote for the candidate with the most number of flashy, opponent-insulting ads? Yes of course, but that is not a fault of capitalism, but of the gullibility of the voting body.

Holding anything up to popular myth is idiotic too, whether you're talking about the American economic system, or the bible, or an urban legend - what do you think we're proving that we don't know already? Do you think that just because people use catch-phrases all over the place they actually believe them?

wow.. just.. oh my goodness wow.. have you a knack for MISSING THE COMPLETE F***ING POINT lol and not paying attention.. that post was more of research i have read about.. 'some feel this is how aids and cancer have come about' much more than own opinion jeez your dense. that was the first burst that came out as i read your horrific reply.

Humans - and do not confuse this with a hitleristic view this is objective. but humans save babies which were otherwise going to be miscarried. Researchers for years have observed that human females bodies have many checks in place to miscarry a fetus if there is a harmful diformity yet with modern medical advances we can save these children and they will survive and reproduce themselves further causing deformity. many feel this is how cancer and AIDS has come about.

second.... after i stopped the laughter.. this shows YOUR ignorance (about the whole thing of the female being able to miscarry based on the fetus being 'defective') there is ALOT of research showing that the female body has MANY natural defenses set up to allow only the strongest to reproduce.

one being psychological.. women (as do men) seek out the 'best suited' and others psyiologically, in apes and lions its prominant from this one reasearchers studies ... females will over all succumb to a male's advance but their bodies will not allow fertalization.

and ill mention.. charlottes web. Great childrens book about interference in natural selection.

to reply to your last three questions.. well all ill do is reinterate.. I am talking about non interference.. as in NON INTERFERENCE were as right now we ARE INTERFERING..

humanities needs are self decisive in that whatever helps to perpetuate the species and helps the survival of the species and the earth is a basel 'need'

Terry: It appears that the ban on posting idiotic crap does not apply to the person who instituted the ban. I think that qualifies as "irony."

People can live next to each other and never know the person next to them.

The words right wrong moral or immoral are all redefined in each persons perspective

and some peoples perspective are akin to ted bundies, charles manson and others who are well 'not all there'. As well as some people in charge have distorted views about right and wrong and well some are plum raciest and feel it's 'right' to lynch people.

uhmm ya.. gona have to disagree. Not because its untrue. I do agree with that statement but just as my theory will never work

where as the hierarchy and ruling class systems have never been over all 'good' for humanity

if the constitution says it or not is irrelevant.

we are suppose to be a democracy

I see a 24 million dollar contract going to jay leno yet teachers in inner cities who work 90 hours plus a week for their students get 50,000 a year.

I see the worst football player in the NFL who RARELY plays get hundreds of thousands of dollars a year - yet i also see the U.S. Soldiers putting their lifes on the line protecting their country getting 16,000 a year.

i see bill gates' house which is as large as some small countries (not a direct comparison of course but you get the point) yet children all over the country are thrown infront of televisions nightly and are mal-parented because their single mom or dad has to work 3 jobs to pay for their 1 bedroom apartment.

fat ass dirty dollar

I feel that the corperations compeeting to get your fat ass dirty dollar anyway they can has drown thought and reason on the scale of the masses. So, I do feel its the fault of capitalism for the 'gulibility' of the masses..

If you can't understand that, I really don't feel the need.

So can you tell us, visavis, why you should have a monopoly on posting "crap" here? Although I must admit that you have done an outstanding job of it! :wink:

The choices in your poll, for instance. Where did you get the idea that the US government is, or should be, a purely capitalistic one?

-its satire-

1. Laws are passed to meet the demands of various interest groups, including tobacco farmers and anti-smoking groups. After 2 centuries of lawmaking, of course we end up with a hodgepodge of inconsistent regulations that reflect conflicting philosophies and needs.


-duh.. the hodgepodge is the direct object of my satire its a waste of money and its hurting more than it helps -


2. Social security DOES help those it is supposed to, whether or not you agree with who or how much it aids them.

-perhaps you should go find out how much social security is actually helping.. -


3. We have socialistic (not communistic) government programs because we can afford to temper capitalism with humanity.

-we do have several socialistic programs but we do have many communistic and dont fog up '..temper capitalism with humanity' with people posing for photoshoots giving money to people who need it then when the cameras are off they run.. its all over the place throughout most political offices AND WE CANNOT AFFORD IT, even if we could we could stop the counterproducitive programs and use that to enhance the programs that are actually in place to help people who need it-




4. Anyone who meets the minimum qualifications can run for political office, and in this state we usually have at least half a dozen choices for president. No one is forced to vote for the candidate with the most money "regardless of intellect." If most people are lazy or stupid enough to vote for whoever runs the most ads, they get the government they deserve. Regrettably, the rest of us are also stuck with the government they deserve. That's democracy for you.

-number 1 why are they so dumb? number 2 no one is forced to vote period understood thats a freedom thats great but the people who do vote never see people like alen keys or other great candidates that just could not finacially hold in there while ralf nader runs time after time.. the people need to take back the government-

ya know what your probably not going to pay attention to this either and just pull out one line out of context like everyone else has and that will be that so im gona stop...

the bottem line is you all have not opened your eyes and no one will till the society tumbles

you say we have a near perfect system in place? how long has this system been up and running and how long was the roman empire up and running 'near perfectly' yet rome fell and compare the time lines to the american government.. and look at what happen in romes society and look at whats happening in american society.. juxtapose and BAM enlightment follows.

lol perhaps its me.. but when i hear someone reject 'ethical relativism' and label that on my statement of 'The words right wrong moral or immoral are all redefined in each persons perspective' which is NOT ethical relativism at

i feel as if talking to my guitar would be more conducive to somthing intellectual..

i have much more important things to do like doing absolutly nothing than continue this benign conversation.

"You know all that money that we spend on nuclear weapons and defense every year, trillions of dollars, correct?
