Re: Russia re-arming

i dont think socialism is a good idea for a nation like the US. but, some nations can fair quite well using a socialist model for thier government. 

the real question is:

how do we fix capitalism?

seriously, i do not have an answer.  the idea of capitalism is definately a great, but the same can be said about socialism.  "good in theory"  but somehow we humans seem to have a habit for f@#$ing shit up.  so, it is my belief that there is a model for government that is better than both capitalism and socialism. but we would probably mess that up too.  therefore, i have come to a conclusion, i must take a more conservative role:

stick with what we got. but make some drastic changes to limit "legal" fraud, waste and abuse.

I dont smoke cigarettes because i like them.  I smoke because it hides the smell of marijuana thats seeping into the hallway atm.

Wait...what?

The problem isn't people getting pregnant, the problem is people believing
that getting pregnant is evil.


Next you'll be telling me taking a dump is evil too. Should you name, hold,
bury and eat your faeces too?

                             ^feces


my post was extremely facetious. Now then, the pregnancy thing, 12 yo's and 11 are getting pregnant cause the culture says "Hey, do what you want, so long as you can get away with it!" And the parents don't give a shit cause they are too busy trying to make ends meet half the time (or make money to get better stuff for those bitches we call girls, mind you not women, girls, like 14 etc.) and thus the family atmosphere has taken a toll and is rarely seen anymore thus bringing us to an amusingly ironic atmosphere of degradation and stupidity that almost makes me want to giggle if it weren't so true.

@Ehawk - facetious. The rant. I was also referencing several sources. There was some crazy journalist who, during the potato famine in Ireland, suggested people eat babies. I forget his name however. the brand "A" was for the Scarlet letter who, the girl got pregnant and they considered her a whore, etc etc. I think it was A. Mighta been P, I forget. Been awhile since I read it. hmm

all in all, that post was just pointing out that young americans are retarded dumbasses. Listen to what people say, you'll be surprised. I'm not as stupid as some believe. Although many are inclined to believe I'm insane, it might be true, I also see alot of the world for what it is.


A quote from Rorshach, which is quite possibly the most accurate quote that can describe this...pitiful nation that we call home:

Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no."


the world is changing, walking a path. The US walks its own path dragging its allies with it. Note that the UK goes nearly wherever the US goes. It is a world that needs to change. A world that needs to learn that it can't always make mistakes and say, Oh shit my bad. The world is full of villains and full of men. The question we shouldn't ask is, "What am I doing to change the world?" The question that we should ask is, what are we doing to change ourselves? You can't change me. I can't change you. Only you can change yourself. That's where the change begins. Not where it ends. Not if you're really convinced change needs to happen. 1 man can change the world, 1 man can change himself. It only takes 1 man to make a difference in the world, for better or worse.

think I'm nuts? think I'm insane? maybe, maybe not. I know how to create a commotion that will send everyone in a panic. Simply go into an airport and stand in a line and say softly to the person in front of you "I have a bomb." and watch all hell break loose. I know many many things and I know how to do and/or fix many many things. The problem is, we all do. Maybe we should all stop DOING shit, and begin listening. Once we stop trying to "FIX" shit, then perhaps we might not screw the world up any more than it already is. I know some of my rant may seem contradictory, but it's not.


Bottom line, world is screwed up. We need to fix it. However, 95% of the people who live here are retarded idiots. Maybe 96%. Either way we're all in this together. Not to mention the people probably don't want to fix things. The culture of today says we should be lazy, how? by creating things that make less work for us to do. Now that's what I call a way to do happy. tongue

We don't fix capitalism. Capitalism is not something you can fix, neither is it a government. It is a practice. Our government is socialist. But it is not fully socialist. Hell, how do you think the founding fathers made our government? By taking the european governments, and taking out the monarchy and taking other bad things. Capitalism is a practice. There is no way to fix it. The problem you should WANT to solve is "How do we fix our government?" The government is the problem. It is outdated and doesn't work the way it should. There are too many loopholes and gaps that the founding fathers were either unable to fix or desired in their laws. Now, should the people figure them out, well, tough luck Sam, better luck next time. And then you have 535 people voting on something and popular vote at that point screwing us all over. Why can't the people have a say? You can say something to your senator or representative, but you're not the one voting! tongue now there's your problem. Government.

Re: Russia re-arming

The problem isn't government.  The problem is human nature.  If we humans can start to reshape our nature, we'll have a chance of surviving.  If our nature is something unchangeable, we're doomed as a species.

Re: Russia re-arming

i agree with death. (btw, good job on the rorchach)

a single particular human can change his own nature and maybe his children to(if they are young enough) but the masses are too vast and uncontrolable.

the only thing that can be done for a step forward in the behavior for humans, is influence us toward certain directions then hope that we dont F#$% it up.

Re: Russia re-arming

I agree with both with xeno and death. Gov doesn't function very well because of human nature. And unfortunately I have to agree 100% with xeno's theory.

Re: Russia re-arming

I actually have been killing, but the majority of deaths from the recent earthquake in Haiti has caused a death overgrowth to occur leaving me with more souls than I want. So I'm on hiatus atm. But I'm sure once I'm back from hiatus you'll be first to go wink

right now, I'm just poking random people who died with a dull butter knife. I wanted a giant sharp one, but alas. sad Maybe I'll look in my closet and bring out my machete and hockey mask. That always gets a kick during the company Halloween party tongue

Re: Russia re-arming

As to whether or not human nature is static, I'd like to think it evolves along with our physical nature.  The problem is, our physical nature is very little different from the physical nature of humans of a 100,000 years ago.  The differences between us and an early homo-sapient are superficial, tenuous qualities: culture, language, technology, etc..  In other words, in terms of our physical nature (hardware) and our psychological nature 'software', we are analogous to a Commodore 64 trying to run Windows 7.
