I also understand you want “anarchy” to rule so that the forums get dumbed down to your level, but alas, that’s the last place we want to go.
It has nothing to do with what I want. It is the nature of private property. Anarchic transactions (such as being made here) pervade the majority of life.
Anarchy implies self-regulation and we shouldn’t want it any other way. It is the most freedom we will ever enjoy.
I do not think the quality of the forums suffer at all. I am capable of ignoring subject matter and posts that I deem valueless.[/quote]
Do you realize how stupid you fucking sound.
You’re intellectualizing some punk rock anarchy bullshit off of a soap box on a men’s health meets steroids forum. If you’re seriously an anarchist, go shut the fuck up, and build a bomb or something.
Otherwise you just sound like one of the countless hordes of small dicks who have to prove themselves by running their mouths on forums.
Thank your lucky stars your country haven’t been bombed to oblivion and invaded by foreigners. That they built bases and that the country subsequently became a honeypot for foreign terrorist groups.
And while all the foreigners are allegedly fighting to “free” you, you’re stuck in the middle as a refugee in your own land.
In another thread, we discussed Boston’s suggested rules. One of them was not yanking threads into topics unrelated to the OP.
Here we have a thread on America falling apart, and you start talking about Iraq.
Enough, Lixy. [/quote]
It was a way to relativize HH’s concerns. He’s worried about minor (emphasis on that) changes in lifestyle. That’s nothing compared to real sufferings.
And Iraq is relevant because HH brought up political decisions made by the US government (e.g: giving the Chicago cops a bunch of rifles). Invading Iraq, killing people and turning even more into refugees was a decision made by the same body, and I’m showing him that in the grand scale of things, worrying about what might or might not be when horrors are going on is childish.

This is idiotic - even by your standards!
You can’t live forever and you have little to no control over your death. But you can vote for people who won’t go bombing countries unless it’s a necessity.

YOU can’t vote for Ron Paul either, so why don’t you quit pushing him?

Wow, it didn’t take this thread long to go off the rails.
Several states are on the verge of bankruptcy, which is going to kill the bond market. School districts, which rely on state funds to operate, will simply have to have classes of 75 or 100 kids. States are in big trouble. Municipalities have a LOT of real estate which pays no taxes, since the homes are abandoned. Reduced cops, firefighters, school teachers…gonna be bad.
Is it getting more and more logical just to repudiate our debts, like some Latin American country, and start over from scratch?[/quote]
If states were smart they would legalize pot and hemp and collect huge tax revenues. If hemp were legal we wouldn’t have a food shortage cause it makes a great biofuel source instead of ethanol. Hemp could be the only industry that could save our country, it is pretty much an untapped resource with huge potential profits.

Uncle Sam should legalize everything and tax the hell out of it. then you could just go to the pharmacy and be like, Yeah I’d like some coke, a little H, some pot and some roids. Shit throw in some Valium, thanks.
Then the pharmacist will be like, yeah that will be 1500 dollars.

But that does not matter because the street dealer will be like yeah, I can do it for 1000.
Which just demonstrates that people who would like to destroy one black market and simultaneously open the next one obviously have not learned their lesson yet.

That is actually a topic that cannot be discussed without Iraq.
Neither the erosion of freedom, nor the dreadful financial situation of the US can be discussed without the constant wars of the US.

Wait…do you not think the war on Iraq might have been an unnecessary burden on the US taxpayer? Do you not see that it has sallied the US’ reputation worldwide? Can’t you tell that it has driven up oil prices through the roof? Don’t you think it has deeply divided a country in times where unity and compromises would be much more beneficial?
Can’t you see that it killed thousands of Americans and maimed even more who could have positively contribute to the US economy?
This cost of that occupation is growing rapidly and I don’t doubt for a second that it is partly responsible to the current shape of the country.
But no, let’s bitch about Al Sharpton, Congress, hippies, Iranians, Al Gore, Chavez and give war criminals a free pass. Sheesh…

The two are certainly connected, but I think you’re overstating the case.

Oh, but it hasn’t my good man.
I am hearing talk about bombing Iran, Syria or Venezuela quite regularly on this forum.
And until Washington issues an apology for fscking up Iraq, killing people and creating refugees, I will bring up the supreme crime and morbid blunder that was the invasion of Iraq. Deal with it!

Lixy, look at the number of posts chastising you for introducing your irrelevant propaganda into a thread about a different - and interesting - topic. We could talk about the state of ennui we have, our loss of financial common sense, our misplaced hypocrisy w/r/t claims of “materialism” - but instead you try and drag your Bush Derangement Syndrome into the forefront.
Enough. We’re tired of you. You aren’t gaining any traction. Stay relevant to the topic, or don’t post in the thread.

This is my own personal opinion Lixy, but you interjecting this blunder and crime into every thread is not only tiresome, but I have read some other threads with your input and I believe you are an intelligent, insightful and articulate guy who offers a vastly different viewpoint from what most of us may be used to. A healthy thing…agreed? We can agree and disagree, but if you have nothing to offer other than this, please just shut the fuck up about it or save it for the proper discussion. I’m having a hard time taking you seriously when you do this and I’ll bet others are too and I think that’s too bad because you have more than that to offer.
