Actually, I'm wondering how you see to think that your argument about a system followed by countries not even the size of New York City have any relation to what we are talking about. These countries are are so teeny, that if that's the crux of your argument, you are just wasting our time.

Economics is in the school of liberal arts, I got a bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance. Economists get too loosey goosey about things no one cares about. I'd rather learn about how to exploit this system to my advantage, than to sit around whining about this or that. A lot of it is...

I am not a big fan of touching the free market and making changes. If you are looking for me to talk about the Nordic model and speak well of it, I won't. I'm not opposed to a "social program" if people are paying you back. None of us have defaulted on our student loans, and we pay interest...

fixed that for you

Economics is in the school of liberal arts for a reason. In my senior year, I switch from Economics to Accounting/Finance, when I started to realize how much a lot of it was bullshit. I can talk Economics with any of you, but realize when I switched to Finance, I started sitting there laughing...

I'll partially agree, but the scale needs to be closer to free markets. If you look really closely at the changes, they were dramatic, those countries shifted from a post Apocalyptic environment to heavy weight contenders within a few years. However, what you see in China is some scary shit...

That's absurd, and you can't pull the race card on me.

Why was there no growth under the old systems? You make my argument for me.

It's only almost 20 years of data, and illustrates the real growth that happens when you unshackle economies with ideology that doesn't work. 40% of the population switched to capitalism and look what happened. I guess it's not big deal that India was bankrupt under the old system, Russia...

You make my arguments for me, thanks. Government stepped in and got involved in things it shouldn't have, and not what should be done in a free market. You had the SLC of the 80's, where government decided to ensure the bets of bankers. No matter what, the bankers' losses were ensured. So...

And some of those are less market driven, and the GDP growth rate tends to be much lower. Look at the countries with the larger growth rates, they moved to almost a naked capitalism (which I am not proposing). Look at a country like China, their factories literally spew toxic chemicals into...

Because, you can look at the rapid growth we've seen in those countries when they switched. There were massive lifestyle changes when they allowed things like Creative Destruction to creep in. Gone were the days of having factories full of millions of dollars widgets collecting dust. Gone...

Indian Take: India 1991: Economic Reforms, Liberalisation, Capitalism When the Industrial Revolution (1775-1850) happened, India was under British rule (1757-1947). The British did not bother to industrialise India. Nor did they allow Indians to industrialise on their own. As a result, India...

Liberal nutbags, look at GDP growth in the countries that are free market, compared to the ones that aren't, and explain to me how Marxism is better. Look at the huge growth rates in the countries that switched from Marxism to Capitalism.

You can't equate a handful of countries to the huge failures that happened in Russia, China and India. It does not compute.

There are no ground rules, other than to make a quantitative and compelling argument, which none of you can do. For every example you pull out, there are more and wider examples where it didn't work. Feel free to pull out a few examples in teeny countries, but fair warning, I'll be calling out...

Please post quantitative proof as to why I am wrong. The only thing you nutbags can do is mock, because your shit doesn't work. I don't care about your beliefs, tell me what you know (which clearly isn't much). At the end of the day, the crux behind your ilk's modus is ideology, and not...

All you keep doing is keep making the argument, "No one has done it right yet" but with different words. It's either "not done right," or sucks so bad no one is willing to "do it right." Either way, it weakens Marxism as any sort of valid Economic system, to the point of absurdity.

I called you on that bullshit earlier. The only defense you liberal nutbags can say about Marxism is that "no one has done it right." Because you don't want to face the facts that the social experiment has failed. Stop spouting about how Marxism is superior when you can't post quantitative...

Dumar, explain the mass number of countries that have left Marxism.List of socialist states - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Theory is just that, and it's not good theory if it doesn't work. You won't probably respond to this thread, because from here on, it won't be pretty. I usually...

No it hasn't. None of those countries you listed are worth a shit.

Marxism is obviously so effective that no countries of import are willing to use it.

Marxism is as big a joke as Communism, which is why both of those systems have disappeared. I can't believe, that in 2014, people still talk about those systems. If they worked, countries would be using them, instead of eschewing them enmasse. Please spare us the "no one has done it right...

NO such thing.

Why do people do hard drugs and think it will end well?

It's more fun that way, though.

Someone's been watching too much superhero porn.

??? They traded Heisenberg for Eisenberg.

Healing is OK, but remember, in this game, heals aren't targetable. They go to the player that most needs the heals. So if you are in an encounter, and the DPS is taking too much splash damage, the tank is screwed. At higher levels, learning how to clip frames will be important in raids, but...

??? So you enjoy just standing toe to toe with mobs, and hitting buttons when they become refreshed? The combat has kept me playing this game all of these years. I went back to WOW and EQ2, and it felt like I was fighting in mud. The combat separates players among skill level. I regularly...

I enjoy spitting blood and having it turn to fire on people in PVP. It gives me an erection.

As I said, I was up late.

I've been busy. The TV ad campaign is working, in the last week, we received almost as many calls as we did for all of Jan 2013. As I've said before, Winter in my business is usually a big loss. But we are now on three TV networks, and it's having an impact. 1/3 people that call in are...

Red Lanterns were released this week. They play like Green Lanterns, only not so much. Their are less combos (you can only combo twice), and the powers are more direct and forward. So there's less finesse involved, for DPS. For tanking, they are like fire tanks, in that they spit blood from...

So...we started watching this show on Thursday. Politics is not my thing, it doesn't interest me, I hate all politicians. But we watched all of the episodes in two days. I was up until 3am this morning watching it. Holy crap, this show is great. My expectations were ground zero, and it...

I just paid to have our website professionally done. Before this, I had a site that I made myself, but I wanted to have a site that would be head and shoulders above the competition. Long story short, when they revamped our site, they ended up getting us organic listings in every area we do...

Awesome!

That song just cemented Eminem as the best lyricist ever. I've listened to rap since it started (raised in NYC, and hence my board name), and I've never heard anybody rap out of their mind like that. Everyone else is just playing at rap.

It is, but it's not normal for me to run fully staffed this time of year. Last year, a guy got caught stealing (dismissed on the spot), and another guy decided he wanted to visit family cross country (he came back in May). I didn't replace them with new hires. Altruism aside, it took until...

And the final results for 2013 for sales was $774,191, and a profit of just barely above 200k. We had an engine explode that cost me $15k right at the end of the year (it had to be rebuilt), and we didn't hit the sales goal because we lost seven or eight days in December that we were snowed...
