I don't necessarily want them to take responsibility for it, I do however want to highlight the weak foundation of it. Most of the reason I want to use these kinds of things is to compare them to what we see and hear today. I'm finding the same sets of ignorance in today's arguments for...

There are a few main arguments that I think have pretty much become dead to the people. 1) marijuana deaths vs deaths from smoking, drinking, caffeine and shit-food in a sack. 2) prison overcrowding and the cost to house an inmate over a sack of bud. While these are solid arguments, it just...

I have read and heard arguments like this one used in the early days of prohibition, but I can never seem to find who said these kinds of things. Tried a google search and ended up here again (where I read it in the first place). Does anyone know some names of the people that used these...

And how did Saddam become the authority? The US gave him what he had. Saddam was a filthy bastard, but he was the filthy bastard that we chose for the people of Iraq. So not only did they get to deal with the a-hole leader that WE chose for them, they get to deal with us as well. WE helped OBL...

And we haven't destroyed their buildings, and killed thousands of their people? We've already lost more soldiers than people on 9/11 and we've killed close to a million people maybe more. So when is it that they are supposed to stop hating us? When we've killed 2 or 3 million of their people? 10...

I don't even see why everyone is obsessing with this. No one is going to get off their hairy asses and do anything about it - at least not when they're in debt to the gills, about to lose their home and swimming a million miles per hour to stay afloat. Just like we always do, we're going to wait...

I am by no means anything close to being religious but I do have to agree with a lot of the things that this Christ fellow had to say - the only problem wit it is that most of the guys supposed followers really aren't all that Christ like. A great portion of the ones I have met are aggressive...

I think you might still be missing what people are trying to say. He isn't saying that removing borders will be the silver bullet answer. He is saying that it would be nice if things progressed to a point where borders and countries and all that crap that goes with it were no longer necessary...

Hey man, I never said it was practical.

:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll: You stump... He's not saying that we need to erase borders and governments. He's saying that it would be nice if humanity could progress to a point where we don't need these things - you know like killing each other over material goods. He's not saying that...

And then what happens when we go there and they jump the next border?

Because they are the ones who run the show, you aren't about to convince them to make themselves give up their fortune.

first off your assumption of just inventing the machine to do the job, or coming up with the next new idea isn't as simple as that. there have been plenty of good ideas that were shot down because it would cut someone else' bottom line a couple bucks. So coming up with the next big thing doesn't...

Vi, I think you misunderstand what most people mean by redistributing the wealth. I don't think that the 5% that controls practically all the money should just give it up. By redistributing it I (I would go so far to say we) just want the common working man to get a little more of the piece of...

Joe, if you want to go that far back into history maybe you should take a look at some of the Lincoln - Douglass debates where Lincoln made a a good amount of white supremacist statements himself. Fact of the matter is that people on both sides of the fence didn't like black people back in the...

So is this to say you equate the waiter as a wealthy person in this scenario? the topic is redistribution of WEALTH, not money that people actually earn. I still have yet to receive an answer from anyone as to why Paris Hilton deserves her obscene wad of cash so much more than the waiter you...

That's exactly whu I think something preventative should be done. America has a nasty habit of just reacting to everything because we seem so afraid of change or thinking ahead. We just react to everything, medically, criminally, socially; that's what our war on terrorism is all about - some...

Well, here's my trip with the death penalty. Two weeks before Christmas of 05 My brother's best friend stabbed him to death with a screwdriver; his kids live with my parents now. I don't think the little son of a bitch should be put to death (though I do think he needs to spend a little time...

Who gets to decide the good and bad in the gene pool? Would you want that job?

happen to have any links? Not to doubt, I just want to read it for myself. thanks :)
