alternate theory: It might have something to do with the prospect of life amounting to eating gruel and existing in an environment where are confronted with the prospect to "die by a machine anally raping you with a metal tentacle", he just didn't like the alternative environment, if his...

and you're the most humble

dealing with external threats is just a reality we have to deal with, it's not like I inherently like it. I think better education is the key to solving the vast majority of our problems including crime, the economy and even international relations. So no argument from me. I went sea fishing...

There is no such thing as a natural or un natural commodity or experience, it's all the same chemicals re arranged in different ways, the difference is purely an artificial arbitrary label and illusion in your brain.

That's exactly why anti missle defense weapons are so controversial, such as the SDI (starwars) and the missle shields we want to put into turkey and poland. alot of strategists point out it would disrupt the current balance-of-power achieved by mutually-assured-destruction and cause another...

The way I perceive it is VERY broad concept, like the number of incidents occurred on the scale of a nation. Like for instance, the fact that you won't be able to dictate the weapon that will be used against you, maybe it's a pair of hands, maybe it's a knife, maybe it's a gun. I don't see...

explain and don't be pedantic about it, of course I mean broadly, like it very broadly normalizes interaction, it wouldn't really matter if you're 6"4 or 5"1 anymore, 22 or 52, 110 lbs or 280 lbs as long as you are relativly healthy how does it not equalize the relative power between 2 parties...

In my opinion the "tons of people" are the hawks and warmongers in government whose ideas are being being propagated by main stream media and then it reverberates within the plebian population. The vast majority of which are so retarded about history and current events they probably couldn't...

Yes when a balance of power is maintained war is less likely, you may not like nuclear weapons but the Pandora's box has already been opened there is no going back. It's what prevented america and Russia from engaging in world war 3, would you rather have gone through world war 3? without the...

It's just something that will always be true, it always existed (and not just humans, but between all living organisms as well, that the strong tend to dominate the weak) and it will never go away, Which is why I wouldn't advocate disarming most people. However some people are literally brain...

If you haven't learned by now if my post is a mess gimme a few minutes to clean my shit up. --- It depends, should everyone have a gun? no Can responsible people have guns? yes. ---- Specifically with Iran I think the region is currently power imbalanced(between keeping similar groups of...

I would feel fine if Iran got a nuclear weapon, they aren't insane people, they are acting rationally. First off Iran was taken over when america orchestrated a coup of their leadership in 1953. When they got rid of that installed leader we've then sided against Iran at every opportunity...

That is what I would think if I was Iranian. I'm only one perspective, of ~7 billion. America is not some altruistic state where Americans are inherently better people than Iranians are. We are brutal people that have killed far more people than the Iranians have and invaded many more...

Like everything in life erronious it depends on your perspective, If I was Iran yes, getting a nuclear weapon is exactly what I would do. From their point of view America/israel/saudi arabia has a hard on for them and wants to exploit their resources and keep them dominated and the only...

commodification is nothing new, you can find examples of it in the first history books ever written, It's not the human beings that have changed it's the technology they built around them and the new social interactions that occur because of the changes that technology brings. there is no...

I got that part, but he said that it was wrong that a woman traded facebook likes for money. say it was 200 years ago, that same woman would have traded her vagina for food and it would have been a less "manufactured" experience and thus she would be less likely to kill herself. I think...

Is dumar advocating the barter system because money is too good of a fungible proxy?

Iraq War groups MIA on Syria

uh huh, it had nothing to do with trying to avoid this.

and rocks, piggy would have been safe if there where no rocks.

This is why it's important not to be a weak blubbering vagina and have power erronious, if you don't have force the strong (America) will bully the weak (Syria,Iraq,Afghanistan,Libya) Syria: Russia will stand by Assad over any US strikes, warns Putin Si vis pacem, para bellum If you...

hate and contempt for your fellow man is something democrats do. I'd rather empower my fellow man so he could help himself.

Nobody wins vs stubborn mules.

dumars just mad that somebody put a pricetag on something is what it is basically, he wanted it for free instead. However somebody usually has to work to make that thing dumar which is the thing you keep missing. Because he's butt hurt that he has to pay for that thing he'd rather reorganize...

I feel satisfied I won my points. the counter points listed where pedantic and wholly unsatisfying.

no it's not and you're not correct. it's pretty simple here are the most likely outcomes by scenario

there's no guarantee's in life erronious, it's funny you didn't take home a central message of that book, that society is somewhat an illusionOrder and chaos exist at the same time in the heart of man, safety and security can be taken away from you at a moments notice like getting stranded on an...

I already like this new pope x10 better than benedictus Syria: Pope warns Barack Obama that military strike would be 'futile'

No because people aren't born with equal ability hence "God created man, Sam Colt made them equal."

If everyone had a gun piggy would still be better off because then it would be equal, instead of an automatic loss for piggy. you'd actually probably have had a civil society on that island instead of a savage one. Hence: "An armed society is a polite society" & "THE GREAT EQUALIZER"...

They solve a lot of things, piggy would still be alive to this day! Where did his words and reason get him when confronted by savagery? ticket straight into the dirt. That book only affirms my viewpoint that if you can't protect yourself others will take advantage of you because they can.

the whole problem piggy had was he didn't have a gun.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Lithose again.

ok caligula

meh forget it, this thread is about syria. Hot Syrian Women Watch before they get pissed and humiliated by the Sharia Law!

The interconnected Syria-oil ties, and the price of a barrel

why even have a senate and congress all they do is argue anyways, why don't we just have a dictator take care of everything. Think of the efficiency!

first assumption is that "standards" are always good, they aren't, if you make everyone follow a wrong "standard" then you made it wrong for everyone. of course they would, but it would be harder to control 50 states worth of fda's than one federalist fda, it would be ALOT harder, that's the...
