Hey Mik, how much training do you have in human skeletal structure and the growth and development and repair therein?

None?

Oh well that's nice, I've had two full courses on human anatomy plus a course on osteology. All three courses included large sections on childhood development.

To put it succinctly, I'm laughing at your lack of education right now more than anything else.

Natural is a slave master. It makes you work for your food to survive.

There's a reason why communists are bad at biology, its because they think natural selection is inherently grounded in capitalist world views, and must be rejected because of this.

Didn't work out so great in practice though



Lysenko was a well-known Soviet geneticist who enjoyed great success under Joseph Stalin (General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Central Committee from 1922 until his death in 1953) by claiming to have proven that acquired characteristics in plants can be inherited. This suited the promethean claims of the Soviet leadership that Communism could entirely transform agriculture, if only Western assumptions about genetics be ignored. The unhappy marriage of dishonest science combined with political opportunism remains a compelling story today, and the object of lively interest internationally among historians of science.

well, i don't think we are slaves. we are born into this world, free to reign as we wish.
We're free to reign as we wish within the framework of laws that protect the right of men to exploit the desperation created by the whips of the natural world. If that need must exist, there's no reason it has to drive the resulting wealth into the hands of the already wealthy. That is entirely a function of our laws (and thus, imposed upon the world).

One of the reason could be this: In an ideal capitalist society, the wealth that is extracted from the production of the workers goes into investments. Since a group of individuals may lack the necessarily skill to utilize the fruit of their labour, the boss (or wealthy, whatever you may phrase it) spend it on other ventures that will create even more wealth.

which laws are you talking about?
If a union decided they were going to go into the factory and work for themselves men with guns and little metal insignias would show up to stop them.

If someone doesn't pay their rent or their mortgage, men with guns and little metal insignias show up to kick them out.

If someone doesn't pay back their loan (with interest) well...eventually men with guns and little metal insignias will show up assuming they don't allow their shit to be taken by repo men first.

The three pillars of capitalism (profit, interest, and rent) are all predicated on the use of force. That force is (rhetorically, not actually) justified on the basis that exchange of money validates the condition of ownership no matter what (even if the fact of that ownership is used to take advantage of other people's desperation).

There's no reason to assume the boss is going to make better investments than the workers would for themselves. We see what we see because it's the legal prerogative of the boss.

Threatening someone's kids.

Also there is no personal information on them, I already checked the exif data.

Faggot.
The personal info came from another source and had nothing to do with me. Also, I would never threaten a child or anyone else for that matter. It's just a heads up for you as a courtesy. You should really be more careful what you post of your own volition.

I think there is a reason for them (boss) being in the position that they have. Some of the boss, of course this is talking about the ideal condition, have built the company from scratch. he/she has the drive, personal motivation, and necessary knowledge to build the company. Question, I think, would be: Why do some people become workers and some people become bosses?

In the end, I'd like to say that people are different and ideal capitalist society rewards those people differently.

You mean if a union decided it was going to take over a factory built and paid for by the owner/investors for themselves, men with guns and little metal insignias would show up to stop them.

If that same union saved up enough money to open its own factory, to run how it desires, no one would show up to do anything. This is why you're wrong. You don't have a right, just because you are 10 people working in a factory, to take over the factory from its owners and investors. You can quit, and go start your own factory. If 100 people working a factory save for two or three years they can easily get a loan to help cover the costs of starting something similar of their own. As long as they aren't stealing the products from their competitors, and instead are developing their own competing products, absolutely nothing can or should be done to stop them.

Why does your philosophy always attempt to justify outright immoral behavior like theft?

Just because 100 people get together to rob someone doesn't make it right.

Ad populum fallacy writ large by sociopaths is what this argument is.

If someone doesn't pay their rent or their mortgage, men with guns and little metal insignias show up to kick them out.
If you're renting, and you don't pay and remain living in the residence, you're stealing from the rental properties' owner.

If you're buying and you haven't finished paying your mortgage and stop paying, you're stealing from the lender who gave you the mortgage.

Again. Same bad argument. And no, just because banks are immoral faggotst does not justify individuals being immoral faggots. Two wrongs fallacy is two wrongs.

If someone doesn't pay back their loan (with interest) well...eventually men with guns and little metal insignias will show up assuming they don't allow their shit to be taken by repo men first.
Loans right now have almost no interest, but that's besides the point. You signed that loan document. If you have a problem with the terms, or think they are exploitative, take it to court. That's why the courts exist, literally that's why the loan documents include contracts. If the court doesn't agree, too bad. That's how we have set up our society to mediate these issues. It is just and fair.

The three pillars of capitalism (profit, interest, and rent) are all predicated on the use of force. That force is (rhetorically, not actually) justified on the basis that exchange of money validates the condition of ownership no matter what (even if the fact of that ownership is used to take advantage of other people's desperation).
If you're stealing, people have a right to stop you. If you resist, they have a right to subdue you. You were in the wrong for stealing in the first place. That's how justice works.

And yes, exchange of money does validate ownership. Because money is a symbol, a representation, a bank note of value. It literally symbolizes the exchange of one object of value for another, be that object of value time, or a physical product, or even a digital one. There is nothing unjust about this. If it weren't "money" it would be "bushels of grain" or "tenpence" or "an ounce of silver".

Money is just a piece of paper that represents a chunk of exchangable value. Its not magic. Its a substantive, real world exchange of one good or service for another. The money facilitates the exchange by simplifying it, so that instead of exchanging 800,000 bushels of grain for a new car, I can just hand over a symbolic value of the 800,000 bushels of grain, which I sold elsewhere, for the car, which I'm purchasing here.

Communists: Over complicating simple shit and investing it with voodoo rituals since 1848.

That's nice.

There's literally nothing else on the internet for it to come from. I don't have a facebook, or any other social networking site. And I've never posted a picture of my kids online before.

So enjoy being dumb, I guess.

There's no reason to assume the boss is going to make better investments than the workers would for themselves. We see what we see because it's the legal prerogative of the boss.
There's no reason to assume the workers will make a better investment, but the owners got to where they were by making better investments.

Often the workers have zero experience making investments. So right there's plenty of reason to assume the boss will make better investments than the workers ON AVERAGE.

Because some people don't have money and some people do.
