You're obviously a dolt.

What he copied and pasted was a joke. ha ha funny.

His posting it was not some form of subtle humor. He wasn't making fun of the joke; which is, in fact, retarded. He posted a joke. But his posting it wasn't some sort of second level to the joke; he really thought it was worth posting. You're a joke.

xeno syndicated, you are a retard. I feel obligated to point this out to you. There are huge gaps in your posts. Other things you post are completely impossible but you presume they almost exist today and surely soon will.

You say that anyone working and providing for themself and their family is being exploited. You claim that welfare bums are having their self-actualization goals infringed upon by society, which is not GIVING them enough for nothing in return. You say that a massive NGO, which would effectively be a government branch, for all of the funding and regulation it would require from government directly, would magically provide everything for everyone. Because you require magic, you pretend that any sort of nanotechnology to make steak from dogs**t will exist soon and robots can do everything for humanity, including work requiring thinking (which is most work, to some degree. Every mined for anything? yeah.).

Please. Stop smoking crack. It ruins a lot of lives. I guess I can understand your empathy to support welfare bums, now that I know about your crack habit, but you still have a computer and you seem to be able to type moderately well. You can beat the habbit! We all support you!

>>As per whether or not the level of technology is currently available to establish a robot-based labor force:  Look at how cars, computers, and other things are manufactured today.  We are clearly heading down the road to an age where robotics (nano and macro) could, potentially, do all tasks necessary for providing for the basic needs for each and every human on the planet for a minuscule financial cost.<<

I'm ashamed to post on the same board as such an idiot.

>>As per how the resource-based economy would work on a day to day basis:  with no need for one to sell his or her labor anymore, there simply wouldn't be any need for money.  There would have to be a resource-based economy.<<

Well I have more needs than you. If you deny me what I want you're oppressing my self-actualization. How many $40,000,000 yachts can there be in your dream world? Do we all get one?

Stop smoking crack kid. You'll never be able to hold a job.

What he pasted was supposed to be funny because it's SO ridiculous all these CRAZY reasons people have to object to gay marriage.

Obviously he didn't think they were meant literally. But he thought the 'joke' wasn't retarded.

We have a resource-based economy. We trade currency for resources (ie, goods and services) we desire.

I think you mixed up "resource-based economy" and "communism." Check out your local library for clarification.

Fokker wasn't joking. What he posted was supposed to be a joke. It was supposed to be a joke based upon the ridiculousness of "reasons gay marriage will ruin society." Obviously they were not meant seriously (ie literally). But he obviously thought they had some amount of a point to them, otherwise they would be neither humorous or relevant.

What are you talking about? He's not president yet? He runs the OFFICE of the president-elect. He's had a seal just like the president's since before he was even elected.

He just wants to cover his ass and all the facts support this theory. You'd love him even if his staff turned out to have more connections to Chicago's corrupt mess of politicians!

Self-actualization happens when you live a productive life in society. You can go self-actualize your ass off at this very moment. It's when you tell someone to go slack off at work for the next 40 years and learn to be happy with his meager living in a communist state that the human spirit dies.

Why can't we have robotic labour as the foundation for the following? Because such a level of robotics capable of doing all the work for us do not exist? Kinda missed the obvious there didn't you. Why don't we have it? It doesn't exist.

As for a resource based economy: Would you let your employer pay you with plastic? Do you think you should be able to pay for your groceries with iron or zinc? Yeah that's a brilliant idea. Why can't we do it!?

A more decentralized government would be great (no sarcasm). Unfortunately politicians chase power and collect it. And no one is aware or cares enough to ever fight this trend.

As for "An apolitical, completely independent, international, non-profit NGO responsible by a detailed constitution for providing basic resources necessary for ensuring the opportunity for survival and self-actualization of all people," I have  to wonder how it would be completely independent when it would be payed for with a gigantic tax rate. How would you ensure that everyone your nanny-NGO provided for was contributing to the system to the best of their ability? The obvious reason why not is who is going to pay for it? I don't have that kind of money. Neither do you.

OGLUs are expensive. Again, who's going to pay for them? People don't work for free. Or for coffee beans, or most any other resource.

I don't understand bonuses during years of loss anyway. Anyone who came to my government begging for billions in handouts after they gave out those bonuses and luxuries would be executed by firing squad. No respect!

>>WFS stated its pointless because all culture's view of civilized is biased by their culture, and because its biased by their culture, its pointless.<<

There are still cultures which place no inherent value on human life. We do. Anyone who claims we're no better than those who do not is an ignorant prick.

Okay, I found ONE group worse than the socialist pansies who threaten the wealth of western society (they're already hurting Europe badly enough!).

But some of us westerners have had it too easy in the past generation or few. This [w00f!] of a once great culture has resulted in pansies without values who want to be taken care of. Virtue has been replaced by whining about having the "right" to have no rights save be taken care of by an all powerful force in the universe... we'll call it "government."

Some of us are old fashioned and want a return to the individualism and freedom that has motivated hard work and innovation, giving us the lead in the world medically, militarily, economically, standard-of-living...ly? tongue

Others want to strive to achieve China's poverty standard of living because then at least it'd be fair. If they're too inept to take care of themselves and their families, you should be pulled down to share their failure.

Two schools of thought among these "westerners" who share the same nations pull in radically different directions. Right now our legislation is a mutt of what the two sides have managed to get passed, so each side blames failures on the other and claims credit for success. It looks like the pansies are increasing in number more quickly than us old fashioned kind of guys. History will tell this tale a few generations after we suffer it.

God save their queen!
