[descendents1]

I used to wear my contacts for a week straight in high school. I think my cornea started peeling off.

[Hababi]

Mike Huckabee did quite well in the straw poll despite not spending any money :D :cool:

Huckabee 08 is alive and well. Now if only Biden would get some traction.

[gregulus]

Wasn't Huckabee one of the morons who raised his hands when the republican candidates were all asked if they didn't believe evolution? What an idiot.

[Hababi]

eh not really something that concerns me.

[Amit]

yeah a candidate's intelligence really shouldn't be a deciding factor or anything

[Hababi]

Ummmm Huckabee is a very smart guy :\

Huckabee was born in Hope, Arkansas, to Mae Elder and Dorsey W. Huckabee. He was elected Governor of Arkansas Boys State in 1972. He graduated magna cum laude from Ouachita Baptist University, completing his bachelors degree in 2½ years before attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.

[Amit]

remember that whole thing about you and holocaust deniers

it's kind of like that with me

and in regard to what you posted, great

he's smart

just intellectually dishonest

i don't know which is worse!

[Hababi]

It's not immoral to not believe in evolution. It is immoral to deny the Holocaust.

Also his not believing in evolution has no real impact on the job that he would do as president.

[gregulus]

It's not immoral to not believe in evolution. It is immoral to deny the Holocaust.

Also his not believing in evolution has no real impact on the job that he would do as president.

except the really big possibility that he will cut NIH funding even further than Bush already has. funding for research is getting increasingly more and more difficult to obtain. this isn't beneficial to anyone...well, except those who feel threatened by empirical data.

[Hababi]

except the really big possibility that he will cut NIH funding even further than Bush already has.


Not likely. He showed no evidence of that as governor of Arkansas.

[gregulus]

Not likely. He showed no evidence of that as governor of Arkansas.

because the governor of arkansas controls the national budget and the amount of funding NIH gets...

[Hababi]

because the governor of arkansas controls the national budget and the amount of funding NIH gets...

He controls the state budget, so it's reasonably to believe that his philosophy hasn't changed much.

[Amit]

It's not immoral to not believe in evolution. It is immoral to deny the Holocaust.

it's dishonest to not believe in evolution

[Iskandar]

It's just plain stupid.

[gregulus]

He controls the state budget, so it's reasonably to believe that his philosophy hasn't changed much.
The overwhelming majority of funding for biomedical research comes from the federal government. The little control his state government has on the amount of money being pumped into Arkansas research institutions really doesn't matter :/

Without federal grants, PI's wouldn't be able to pay their employees or afford anything needed for research. I'm not sure people really understand how expensive scientific materials are.

And yeah, not believing in evolution is probably the stupidest thing one could do.

[Mr. Ron]

It's not immoral to not believe in evolution. It is immoral to deny the Holocaust.

Also his not believing in evolution has no real impact on the job that he would do as president.

Its been said already, but its intellectually dishonest to deny evolution, and frankly i don't want that sort of person in my white house.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

One would assume that any candidate would want to not come out too strong either way. I mean that's what I'd do, it hasn't been a relevant political issue since all that Intelligent Design business blew over a while back, with a bit of luck and common sense you could carefully keep the public from ever knowing which way you swung on the issue and thus not lose any votes.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Its been said already, but its intellectually dishonest to deny evolution, and frankly i don't want that sort of person in my white house.
I used to live in a white house but now I live in a grey one :(

[Hababi]

it's dishonest to not believe in evolution

not really. You can be intelligent, incorrect about something, and honest.

It's just plain stupid.

Irony :o

Well until you find something that in any way substantiates your claims, all you have is unbacked rumor mongering :\

[Dr Hooch]

Ummmm Huckabee is a very smart guy :\

Huckabee was born in Hope, Arkansas, to Mae Elder and Dorsey W. Huckabee. He was elected Governor of Arkansas Boys State in 1972. He graduated magna cum laude from Ouachita Baptist University, completing his bachelors degree in 2½ years before attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.

Ok maybe he should try attending some kind of education not paid for by the church

i mean for fu'cks sake what would possess someone to go to the "baptist theological seminary" to learn anything except how to get very rich by taking advantage of stupid people and then not pay taxes for it

[Hababi]

well erm he wanted to be a preacher, so going to a religious school was a pretty good idea ;)

oh, and on another note:

I wonder what will happen first: the republican candidate will cave to anti-Hispanic people, or the democrat candidate will cave to anti-Jewish people. My guess is the latter since all but Joe Biden went to that Dailykos convention, run by the website that is a hotspot and haven for the biggest bunch of Jew-haters short of stormfront.

[Dr Hooch]

well erm he wanted to be a preacher, so going to a religious school was a pretty good idea ;)


my god

and this man wants to be a politician?

we just wouldn't stand for that in britain

scandal, drugs, lack of policies

you can get away with

but we'd never have that

I'm being post-ironic a little here but it is, frankly, true

Come on now steve, everybody secretly hates jews a little

[Hababi]

I'm being post-ironic a little here but it is, frankly, true


That's pretty sad :p


Come on now steve, everybody secretly hates jews a little

Well everyone on Dailykos and most on the left, anyway :D

[RIP Ian Curtis]

That's pretty sad :p



Well everyone on Dailykos and most on the left, anyway :D

Why the "great defender of the Jews" thing? I mean your even sticking up for Woody Allen in the Movies page. Just wondering why you've taken this cause to heart.

[Hababi]

Why the "great defender of the Jews" thing? I mean your even sticking up for Woody Allen in the Movies page. Just wondering why you've taken this cause to heart.

Well I defend Woody because he's a great director :p

But as for Israel, because there's a really strong, very hateful and downright malevolent movement brewing in the "progressive" left, and if it becomes the mainstream of the Democrat party, we're in trouble.

[Dr Hooch]

Well everyone on Dailykos and most on the left, anyway :D

no everyone with 3/4 of a brain hates Israel that just happens to be full of jews

but seriously i'm not ashamed to say if someone said they were an orthodox jew i would instantly judge them negatively until convinced to the contrary

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Well I defend Woody because he's a great director :p

But as for Israel, because there's a really strong, very hateful and downright malevolent movement brewing in the "progressive" left, and if it becomes the mainstream of the Democrat party, we're in trouble.

Fair enough.

I'm rather pro-Israel myself, I was just wondering what your reasons were, if you were part of some kind of conspiracy involving the world bank and the media and such...

[Hababi]

no everyone with 3/4 of a brain hates Israel that just happens to be full of jews


Not really if you read anything on the site you would see that it's transparent antisemitism. Your reaction, shared by many on the left, is also damaging, because it's a way to excuse downright Nazi-like creeps. The sensible people amongst progressives need to boot those folks out of the movement instead of pandering and excusing.


if you were part of some kind of conspiracy involving the world bank and the media and such...


Haha. No it's the anti-Israel people that imagine "Jew media complex!" conspiracies :p

So those "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" aren't real? Next you'll be saying that Jews have souls and don't eat chrisitian babies to celebrate their evil, demonic feast of Passover.

basically if instead of being the jewish holy land israel was some kind of british holy land we'd spend all our time ebing pretty embaressed that we'd ever been formed

it should never have been created and it was our mistake but the way israel acts is just horrific considering they should know very well they shouldn't technically even be there in the first place

if i was israel i'd be apologising for even existing while quietly crushing threats

not

invading my neighbours

[Hababi]

basically if instead of being the jewish holy land israel was some kind of british holy land we'd spend all our time ebing pretty embaressed that we'd ever been formed


Correct me if I'm wrong but England is defined as an Anglican nation under the sovereign rule of her Majesty the Queen :\

Israel is a secular nation with a Jewish identity, the same way England is a secular nation with an Anglican identity.




it should never have been created


Oh right everyone else deserves a homeland except the Jews, whose homeland was stolen from them, and who faced unparalleled discrimination through history.


the way israel acts is just horrific


Hahaha by daring to exist and actually fighting the terrorist Neanderthals intent on destroying it :(




invading my neighbours


When you're attacked, invasion is necessary.

[Dr Hooch]

Correct me if I'm wrong but England is defined as an Anglican nation under the sovereign rule of her Majesty the Queen :\

yeah we've been innoculated against religion

Israel is a secular nation with a Jewish identity, the same way England is a secular nation with an Anglican identity.
Then why is it in the jewish holy land and not in, say, the artic?


Oh right everyone else deserves a homeland except the Jews, whose homeland was stolen from them, and who faced unparalleled discrimination through history.

wh-wh-what

how many people have controlled britain throughout history?

where is the christian homeland, then?

and we all know sayings about 2 wrongs and going left


Hahaha by daring to exist and actually fighting the terrorist Neanderthals intent on destroying it :(

i'd say existing was taking it far enough

plenty of neaderthals on both sides

When you're attacked, invasion is necessary.

when you have to invade that many countries you should probably take the hint

[Hababi]

yeah we've been innoculated against religion

Ummm you're still the Anglican holy land under the sovereign rule of the Queen. Israel never had a monarchy or any other form of quasi or fully-religious authority as ruler, not even in name only :o


Then why is it in the jewish holy land and not in, say, the artic?


Because that's the historic area of it duh.


wh-wh-what

how many people have controlled britain throughout history?

where is the christian homeland, then?


Same area and wtf relevance does that have?

and we all know sayings about 2 wrongs and going left


No it's one right righting one wrong.


plenty of neaderthals on both sides


Not really.


when you have to invade that many countries you should probably take the hint

Yes give up, the Dr Hooch way." Go to the gas chambers":smash:

[italic zero]

Oh right everyone else deserves a homeland except the Jews, whose homeland was stolen from them, and who faced unparalleled discrimination through historyso you support partitioning India for the Roma?

[Hababi]

so you support partitioning India for the Roma?

I'm not too familiar with that situation but I support it for the Kurds and the southern Sudanese. Actually though Southern Sudan should join Uganda.

[italic zero]

roma are just like the jews except without all the writing

[Der Übermensch]

Ummm you're still the Anglican holy land under the sovereign rule of the Queen. Israel never had a monarchy or any other form of quasi or fully-religious authority as ruler, not even in name only :o

I was under the impression that Saul, David and Solomon were all... I dunno... Monarchs?

[Hababi]

I was under the impression that Saul, David and Solomon were all... I dunno... Monarchs?

I'm talking about the modern state of Israel d00d.



roma are just like the jews except without all the writing


:confused: they don't write?

[Reaganista]

well erm he wanted to be a preacher, so going to a religious school was a pretty good idea

i hope there was someone exactly like you wandering around calling everyone who criticized the nazi government a german-hater back in the day

[Hababi]

i hope there was someone exactly like you wandering around calling everyone who criticized the nazi government a german-hater back in the day

That's where you would've come into play.

[Iskandar]

:confused: they don't write?Historically, no, their language was not written.

[Hababi]

oh well that's not good :\

[Iskandar]

oh well that's not good :\Well, they didn't live in the greatest condition to write any literature, you see.

The Roma have easily had as difficult a time as the Jews. They've been exiled from their homeland (somewhere in Northern India) for thousands of years, they've been feared, mistrusted and hated, and they suffered brutally in the Holocaust.

[Hababi]

Well, they didn't live in the greatest condition to write any literature, you see.


Eh That didn't hold the Jews back :o

Oh cool then give them a homeland too.

[Dave de Sylvia]

One of the most striking features of Holocaust literature is the regularity with which it focuses solely on the Jewish aspect.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Roma = Nice way to say gypsies yes/no?

[italic zero]

people called them gypsies because they thought they were from egypt so that's pretty dumb.

plus there are lots of ethnic groups people call gypsies other than the Roma, i.e. pretty much every nomadic group in europe and western asia.

[Iskandar]

Oh cool then give them a homeland too.Where? The Indian government isn't about to give them one.
Roma = Nice way to say gypsies yes/no?It's a more correct name for them. "Gypsies" stems from an incorrect belief that they originated from Egypt. They're actually from the Indian subcontinent.

[PerpetualBurn]

I think they like to be called gypos or pikeys.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

I'm not interested in the politically correct answer, are the people historically called gypsies Roma or not? The reason I ask is that every bloody time I ask this question someone responds the way you just did.

EDIT:

Redundant now, thanks Dropper

[PerpetualBurn]

They both just answered that.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Where? The Indian government isn't about to give them one.
It's a more correct name for them. "Gypsies" stems from an incorrect belief that they originated from Egypt. They're actually from the Indian subcontinent.

Thanks, that made things a lot clearer. So the "gypsies" that the Nazis were exterminating are/were Roma?

[Iskandar]

Thanks, that made things a lot clearer. So the "gypsies" that the Nazis were exterminating are/were Roma?Yep.

[Hababi]

Where? The Indian government isn't about to give them one.


Right well just get them to change their mind. India's huge, they can severe a chip.
One of the most striking features of Holocaust literature is the regularity with which it focuses solely on the Jewish aspect.

Who'd think it?

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Yep.

Cheers, that always confused me.

When I did history at school it was right when they were changing all the names to the new PC ones. So one year it was "gypsies" and the next year the textbook said "roma" and I had no damn idea what in the name of refridgeration was going on.

Are there any good books/websites on the Roma in the holocaust?

[italic zero]

Right well just get them to change their mind. India's huge, they can severe a chip.
it also has ten times the population density of the U.S.

[Iskandar]

Right well just get them to change their mind. India's huge, they can severe a chip.They're not going to. India already has to deal with the Sikh separatist movement and they aren't yielding to them.

Besides, I doubt that many Roma even want to return to India.
Are there any good books/websites on the Roma in the holocaust?You could probably find something, although it's a topic that's been largely ignored since Holocaust writing focuses almost exclusively on the Jews.
Who'd think it? You do realize that there were millions of other victims of the Holocaust, right?

[Amit]

yeah

the roma don't want to return to india

and india don't want them

let's give them israel

[italic zero]

Not a bad idea... Use parental style punishments on the Israelis and Palestinians... if they can't play nice and share, neither gets it!:chug:

[Hababi]

yeah

the roma don't want to return to india

and india don't want them

let's give them israel

na give them the Congo.

[Amit]

roma girls are so hot

[Hababi]

roma girls are so hot

pixorlies

[Iskandar]

na give them the Congo.Reminds me of the people who wanted to create a Jewish homeland in Madagascar or whatever. But it's also not like that because the Roma don't appear to desire their own state at all.

[Reaganista]

everyone wants a state it's human nature

[Hababi]

Reminds me of the people who wanted to create a Jewish homeland in Madagascar or whatever. But it's also not like that because the Roma don't appear to desire their own state at all.

oh well then why bring them up :\

I thought the prospective Jewish state would've been in Namibia...

[Reaganista]

anyone who wants to can make any democracy of their choice into their state by going there and ****ing a lot

therefore nobody needs to be given a state since if they cared that much they'd go get one
and we can get rid of israel

[Iskandar]

oh well then why bring them up :\

I thought the prospective Jewish state would've been in Namibia...They just kind of came up.

Nambia? Maybe. I heard Madagascar (where some Nazis wanted to send them) and also somewhere in South America (where some Zionists wanted to settle for a time).

[RIP Ian Curtis]

South America would be amusing. Given you've got all the Nazis Peron exported there. Sounds like an amusing premise for a short fiction.

[Dave de Sylvia]

all the nazis are dead

[Reaganista]

nazis live forever

[Dave de Sylvia]

ud no

[Amit]

what does that EVEN MEAN

[Dave de Sylvia]

tex 1 2 no 1

[Dr Hooch]

yeah

the roma don't want to return to india

and india don't want them

let's give them israel

"ok jews your turn is up

sorry"

Roma = Nice way to say gypsies yes/no?

Not all travellers are Roma, but plenty are, and;

traveller is a more correct word for someone living what we might identify as the 'gypsy lifestyle'.

I think.

That's something I wouldn't do if I had relatives in med school at the time. "Hey, we're cutting up Grandpa Steve!"

Steve misses out the next line his grandnephew says which is

"Wait a minute, where's his rationality cortex?"

[Amit]

we could like make it an MMO FPS/strategy game

roma vs jew: BATTLE FOR ISRAEL

and whoever wins at the end gets irsarel >:]

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Do the Jews get support from America?

[Amit]

well anyone can join up and play

[Unreal]

They just kind of came up.

Nambia? Maybe. I heard Madagascar (where some Nazis wanted to send them) and also somewhere in South America (where some Zionists wanted to settle for a time).


It was Uganda, I'm sure.

The politics in themselves are bad enough without the, shall we say, overenthusiastic? delivery they are given...

FU'CK YOU
I WON'T DO

HUUUUURGGHHH

[PerpetualBurn]

No one can UGH like Zack De La Rocha can. Fact.

[Dr Hooch]

Absolutely.

[Hababi]

They just kind of came up.

Nambia? Maybe. I heard Madagascar (where some Nazis wanted to send them) and also somewhere in South America (where some Zionists wanted to settle for a time).

I tried googling it but all I got searching for "Africa proposed zionist state" was a bunch of racist blogs and websites :\

Madagascar wouldn't have been as reasonable, since there's more of a population. Namibia and the Congo are both large countries that are fairly sparsely populated. DROC has a litany of natural resources, too--considering what Israel managed to do with the land they have, they'd be the most prosperous nation on Earth had they gotten the Congo. I could try to look it up at the library today (Hillman library, one of the best amongst college libraries).

If you are an atheist or simply not a christian, would you still consider this year 2007, or would you consider this year like 4.5 billion becasue you do not acknowledge the birth re-birth or death of Jesus?

We don't accept the rebirth of jesus

[apple pie]

but why would you accept it why wouldnt you, couldnt you techniqually say that it is year 4 billion as say it is my reilgous veiws.

[PerpetualBurn]

The calendar date isn't meant to be an indication of the age of the Earth.

Either in science or in Christianity.

[Dr Hooch]

It's almost like convinience takes precendence over being annoying for the sake of being annoying

[PerpetualBurn]

The current calendar is too ingrained to be worth changing.

And since it's only really used to map events during civilised times it would be pointless writing dates in the billions of years.

[apple pie]

yah I guess alrite cool I was just wodering.

Code in the sense that my Dad ate the cookies I left out for Santa. Maybe.

Our santa got mince pies and a brandy

I'm just still trying to work out how my parents decided which one of them had to eat half of rudolph's raw carrot

[PerpetualBurn]

I'm guessing the carrot went to our dog.

The conspiracy thickens.

"In your opinion, which of the following - class, gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability or sexuality - has the most profound impact on the lives of Australians today? How and why does this matter more than the others?"

I can only choose one of the social groups.

"In your opinion, which of the following - class, gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability or sexuality - has the most profound impact on the lives of Australians today? How and why does this matter more than the others?"

I can only choose one of the social groups.Choose class if you're feeling communistic. Otherwise, choose gender because it's really easy to argue.

It's gotta be class.
Gender: We were one of the first to allow women voting, and Australian women really haven't shaped the current situation any more than men

Race: The only real "race" issue we have is Aborigines, and they are so marginalised as to have minor impact on the way this are today

Ethnicity: An interesting choice, you could talk about the anglo/irish tensions way back in the early days. Possibly valid

Age/Disability/Sexuality: Totally irrelevant, not even worth a second look.

But class is a real good one, especially seeing as we were one of the first (maybe first?) nations to have a labour party, minimum wage etc.

[thedeadwalk!]

Everything I know about Australia I know from Neighbours and Steve Irwin.

[Dr Hooch]

Guys i feel really silly because either this video is entirely faked or there were bltatantly some controlled explosions in at least WTC building 7 and probably in the towers as well

Either the entire footage is faked or building 7 was a controlled demolition

I don't like it but it just blatantly was =(

Oddly enough, me too. :chug:

Mmmkay, thanks for the response. I've integrated my reply into the one below.

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the response first. At first, I was really thinking ethnicity, but didn't have any strong arguments for it. But yeh, class makes sense.

noice

Very.

[Smokey D]

The way Australia treated Aborigines is hugely important on the current situation. Go contentious and argue the genocide of Australia's native population is the reason for its current high level of wealth today.

I think class is a difficult and very technical issue that can get far too complicated.

[ringworm]

jaylink doesn't troll me, I troll jaylink. I donnu maybe it's a setup :p
now steve, that isnt like you at all :p

but i have noticed you two going at it, i figured it was the other way around though

Eh, but racial relations regarding the indigenous isn't affecting the majority of Australians. It's probably affecting the indigenous only.

And yeh, class is a bit tricky, but I think I only have to adopt a certain perspective (say neo-weberian) and milk that cow.

Because it's full of convicts.

Convicts + ethnics = Australia.

The good thing about the class angle is you can take a positive spin on it. All about how (at least in the past) Australia was the kindest country to the working man (if you don't count the false promises of Joe Stalin et al). Rather than the doom and gloom stuff you'd get from the other ones. Plus you can put a current events kicker at the end if you wanna talk about workchoices hightening class tension.

Eh, as you said, all the positive stuff was in the past, the whole 'working class' ethic/culture is dying away. The ALP aren't that different from the Liberals these days. The political elite are all just concerned with making Australia a stronger force in the international economy.

And yeh, thanks for the workchoices idea, hadn't thought of that. I'll include that with Howard's dodgy economic policies.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

I vote liberal myself, but that's really just because there isn't anyone else worth voting for. Also because Wilson "Ironbar" Tuckey is a lib, and he's my only political hero other than Winston Churchill and the MP from W.A with no legs. You know the 'Nam vet guy?

[badtaste]

Afraid not.

I actually don't know who to vote for later on this year. After getting my first real insight into Marxism, society just makes me sad.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Balls, I'll have to find his name, he's a legend hey.

Society makes everyone intelligent sad. Whether you're a lefty and you see the gears of society grounding down the little man or like me you're on the right and you see a bunch of morons running around fu'cking it all up and society being one giant clusterfu'ck, it makes you sad.

I'd be an anarchist if I could institute a serious eugenic program and only keep people who were intelligent enough to be free.

Eh, eugenics is complicated. We'd still need the less intelligent people to do the hard yards though (that is if we were still adopting the capitalist system).

Yeah, I don't know. It's almost a curse that humans started being able to think beyond the chimp level.

I just want to point out that Australia has become more significant in the international economy, and has also had some very positive wage-growth etc. They aren't necessarily exclusive.

Eh, eugenics is complicated. We'd still need the less intelligent people to do the hard yards though (that is if we were still adopting the capitalist system).

No, that's not true at all.

Wait, what?

[badtaste]

I just want to point out that Australia has become more significant in the international economy, and has also had some very positive wage-growth etc. They aren't necessarily exclusive.

Positive wage growth for who? Poverty still exists, rich will become richer, poor will become more poor.

No, that's not true at all.

You really ought to explain yourself. I really don't like it when people just comment "That is wrong.", "No, band A sucks", etc...

Heck, if it isn't true, why not? If I'm wrong, and you can prove that I'm wrong, then hey, I'm willing to change my mind. But if you just go, "That's not true at all", you're not really helping the situation.

Wait, what?

I'd be much happier not being able to think. Just eat and breed.

[Smokey D]

Positive wage growth for who? Poverty still exists, rich will become richer, poor will become more poor.

No, the poor don't become more poor. That's what wage growth means. The rich become richer, but the poor also become richer (albeit at slower rates).

You really ought to explain yourself. I really don't like it when people just comment "That is wrong.", "No, band A sucks", etc...

You don't need to be stupid to do hard labour, and very few people are so stupid that they'd be satisfied with only menial jobs.

Because I have a million experiences not available to an ape and I don't die at early ages from infections or bone-breaking labour.


I'd be much happier not being able to think. Just eat and breed.

No you wouldn't. You can't really be happy if you can't conceptualise happiness. All you can have is transient sensations of pleasure.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

When I say intelligent I don't just mean MENSA type chaps. Just people who aren't goddamned retards who have to fuc'k up a good thing. You know, the kind of people who make a truely free society impossible.

[badtaste]

No, the poor don't become more poor. That's what wage growth means. The rich become richer, but the poor also become richer (albeit at slower rates).

Things get expensive. I doubt those in poverty will benefit much.

You don't need to be stupid to do hard labour, and very few people are so stupid that they'd be satisfied with only menial jobs.

Few intelligent people would be satisfied with jobs that don't stimulate them. I don't think its about stupid people being satisfied with dodgy jobs. I thought that was how we operated now. Some people aren't able to get a decent education to get a job that requires formal education. They become the working class (or something like that).

Eh? I don't know what you're replying to.

No you wouldn't. You can't really be happy if you can't conceptualise happiness. All you can have is transient sensations of pleasure.

Fine then. I'd just eat and breed. Still good.

[Smokey D]

I'm tempted to make another thread out of this conversation.

The idea is there are fewer people in poverty thanks to the wage growth.

Some people aren't able to get a decent education to get a job that requires formal education. They become the working class (or something like that).

The working class is much bigger than just those people who can't get a decent education. And lots of very smart people have jobs that don't fulfill them.

Fine then. I'd just eat and breed. Still good.

You wouldn't be happy though.

And you wouldn't really have an awareness of eating and breeding. You'd just do it.

[badtaste]

I'm tempted to make another thread out of this conversation.

If you want to. A warning though - I don't claim to be a genius in these areas, and I'm not arrogant/ignorant enough to pretend to. So yeah, expect to do more explaining than discussing with me.

The idea is there are fewer people in poverty thanks to the wage growth.

I think it all sounds great on paper, but in reality, I don't think it would occur (Good liberal and capitalist propaganda). Especially with the current world as it is, structural unemployment will probably increase, jobs are still insecure, etc...

The working class is much bigger than just those people who can't get a decent education. And lots of very smart people have jobs that don't fulfill them.

You still haven't how my comment 'isn't true at all'. You just keep disputing what I say. Why don't you offer your version? That way, I can see what you're trying to get at.

You wouldn't be happy though.

And you wouldn't really have an awareness of eating and breeding. You'd just do it.


With my 'fine then' comment, I dismissed the happiness thing. And yeh, you summed it perfectly, I'd just do it.

When I say intelligent I don't just mean MENSA type chaps. Just people who aren't goddamned retards who have to fuc'k up a good thing. You know, the kind of people who make a truely free society impossible.

Aren't they the ones running the world? If so, they're smart enough to hire the intelligent ones.

[Smokey D]

I think it all sounds great on paper, but in reality, I don't think it would occur (Good liberal and capitalist propaganda). Especially with the current world as it is, structural unemployment will probably increase, jobs are still insecure, etc...

No, it has occured. It's not a debate. We have seen it happen.

I don't see why structural unemployment would increase, though. And that hasn't been bourne out by the stats either. Unemployment rates are smaller in neo-liberal economies than in places like Germany, France etc.

You still haven't how my comment 'isn't true at all'. You just keep disputing what I say. Why don't you offer your version? That way, I can see what you're trying to get at.


I don't understand what you want. I'm saying the working class isn't what you described. That's what I'm getting at.

Eh, what I meant is, there is still inequality going on. Woohoo for wage growth, but so what? Poverty (whatever amount that may exist) still is, they don't get support, throw in the indigenous issues, etc..



I don't understand what you want. I'm saying the working class isn't what you described. That's what I'm getting at.

You missed my '(or something like that)'. I can't even remember what context I was originally referring to it in, but I'm pretty sure I just generalised it for the sake of simplicity.

And yeh, you still haven't explained it (I get the feeling you don't care for it). You just point out that you think I'm wrong.

[Smokey D]

Eh, what I meant is, there is still inequality going on. Woohoo for wage growth, but so what? Poverty (whatever amount that may exist) still is, they don't get support, throw in the indigenous issues, etc..

First of all, minimising poverty and thereby state dependence is a good thing. Secondly, they do get support -- Australia has a pretty extensive welfare system -- and thirdly my point was against your argument against the economy, not the Aborigines. How Australia deals with its native population is apalling.


And yeh, you still haven't explained it (I get the feeling you don't care for it). You just point out that you think I'm wrong.

You want me to tell you what hte working class is?

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Difference between proper immigration and refugees. I'm all in favour of massive amounts of proper immigration (check out history, funny how the biggest economic boom times in both America and Australia have coincided with massive increases in immigration. But I'm totally against taking in any refugees.

because you're a complete moron with a hilariously misplaced sense of self entitlement and pretentiousness

So, last sunday, me and a group of friends are sitting outside a tattoo shop just kicking it and this crackhead walks by. he says at first "you guys are suave," which makes absolutely no sense in the first place because we were just sitting around. then he looks directly at me and goes "you're a jew" (he was wrong) and continues to tell us how the jews control the media (steve, you would have probably knifed this guy) and goes on about jewish conspriacies and then walks off only to come back and tell us that jews are alright though, because if god says they're blessed, then they gotta be alright.

hey steve, how does that guy make you feel? would you smoke a nice rock with him? what about sell him some shitty rock laced with arsenic? would you do the dirty with some of his lady-friend crack whores if it meant killing him and there was absolutely no chance of getting any sort of diseases? what if you were offered $10,000?

Haha that's awesome.

The Bishop of Manchester was on day time tv today, complaning about the worrying trend in Britain of a small minority becoming "too religious."

I don't believe so it's not for me but the Church of England does good work for the most part. Has all the charitable and endearing qualities with non of the hate and intolerance.

I was brought up CoE, and for the vast most part they're lovely tolerant people.

We never had any of that "Feel bad for original sin" sh!t at my church. It was all "check it out, jesus was awesome!"

National Geographic channel told me that the jellyfish are taking over the oceans and seas, and it's messing with our program. And the reason they're messing with our business is because we're all up in theirs. I'm scared.

yeah, i saw that too, some of the ones in Japan get up to 450lbs and are ruining fishing, but at the same time, overfishing is prob a cause of the rise of the jellyfish
