Also: The sign on Jaco Jr's avatar is NOT the Communist sign, if not, the sign of the workingman. Something we should all resped (not necessarily the flag/sign, as I actually find they mean nothing nowadays, but the workingman).

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]Sorry. I've known to many idiots (most being rednecks) with thoughts like what I had thought you had thought. Meh, whatever.

Oh, and care to elaborate? I need something to talk about besides Precision basses.[/QUOTE]
did you know this radio?
hes all for europe but not for the idiots in Brussels, because every year we pay taxes for europe to buy food to keep prices up, then they burn the £100's of millions of pounds worth of food that could be sent to starving people in africa

exactly
which is why i have it
i also support the idea behind communism
but it actually means everyone working together for a common good
something i wish we had in the world

I know nothing, really.

could someone explain the harmonic technique, im not clear on that. and the double thump technique, im not sure what that is.

well, the whole communist regime relies wholehearted upon everyone being equal: they each get paid the same
the problem that arises is what do u do when people don't work? do they still get paid, do u throw them in prison simply because they don't want to work? do u abbanndon them and remove them from your system? basically, how do u cope with those who do not comply? the Russian system failed because too many people took advantage of the fact that they got paid no matter how much work tehy did. the workers were guaranteed a job so they thought "why the daffy duck am i breaking my back when i can sit at home all day doing sweet FA and still get paid?"

also, the system is highly susceptible to corruprion, which was the other problem with the Russian system and is a major problem for the Chinese system

BUT...this is all my opinion

True communism is impossible. It's a fantastic theory, and good government, but at this point in time it's impossible.

Harmonics are notes produced by the vibratiosn of a string when played at a specific interval.

Double Thump is just slapping the string both down and up.

Jaco Jr: My only gripe with communism, is not really the system's fault, but if not men's; There is little chance a place wil lacutlaly achieve it, because of men's greed, and, if it is achieved, it will not be for long, as someone somehow will do something to stop something. As always.

The world... Meh.

plus my dad works in brussels mostly and he is baffled by the mindless beauracracy
its so stupid he says, the only reason his company is there was to take advantage of a tax incentive

Look in the lessons bit..?

If the whole world were to convert to communism I think it would work but right now communism always seems to come packaged with the threat of nuclear war

Indeed it is, i also totally agree with ElKapitan :thumb:

exactly
its only the greediness and laziness of men that makes it fail
and i love that phrase; 'why the daffy duck am i breaking my back...'

Everyone would need to be brainwashed/hypnotized if communism were to work.

123, that basically sums it up :thumb:

Wow, my earlier post made no sense...

ElKapitan: True, which is why I always think it is an amazing idea, but it will be nearly impossible for it too work, but because of Men, not because the system is flawed. And yes, greed is what has stopped places from becoming comunism or whatever, like Cuba. He (Castro) started off alright but then...

Paul: I think it could be done, but it would be overtaken in a short period of time, either by other nations causing some reaction against the people, or someone's own greed to try and make a new governemnt. Like I said, IMO, it's Men's fault.

Lessons section, my friend. Excellent resources there.

I would actually love a fretless Precision.

With a tremolo.

That'd be so cool.

but the system was created by man, knowing that this was the way man worked. it was a theory created by Marx who, imo, had his head in the clouds and was relying upon a humanity that doesn't exist

Though to be honest, I wouldn't want a communist government, as I bet the government would say "All basses are to have 4 strings."

:upset:

Bloody hell, he sent my guitar today! :mad: if it hadnt been sent today i had cancelled it...

i also think that religion has a lot to answer for
i mean, how many wars, dictatorships, genocides whatever, havent had somehting to do with religion, i know some havent
but an awfull lot have
and get this joke lads;
after the war there is a plan to divide iraq into three parts,



four star diesel and unleaded
:lol: :lol: :lol:
nah
i catually support the war in iraq
and if we were to liberate zimbabwe - that too
considering there is a girl in my class at school who was born and raised in zimbabwe until her family had to move here because they were rich whites with land mugabe wanted

[QUOTE=ElKapitan]if, and that is a massiv IF, the whole world truly embraced the concepts of Communism then the planet would be a much better place....sad that teh greed and selfishness of humanity sorta kills that a bit :upset:[/QUOTE]
Indeed.

I however, don't think people should hate Communism just because it's unlikely that it will happen. As if anyone hates Peace, yet we all know it's bassically impossible.

I hate you all. Stop having such speedy internet connections!

I was going to say exactly what PaulSimonon said, but around the lines of 'Communism has always been an excellent idea, but it is always poorly executed.'

While we're on the topic of communism, anyone read Animal Farm?

Personally, I do not think under any circumstances short of the majority of the human race dieing out (Nuclear holocaust anyone?) that true communism will work. It's simply not possible with this many people, and this many different cultures. For it to work, I believe it has to be in a small homogeneous community, without the influence of anyone else.

Wouldn't a fretless Precision with a tremolo be cool?

Come on, you know it would. ;)

:lol:
i think that might be more a policy of fascists
the communists would say "well, if u've got six strings then everyone else does too!"

nope
is it any good
i also recommend you read Devil's Party
its about charlatan messiahs
quite interesting actually

Orwell= :cool:

By the way, my theory would also only work if the entire community was struggling to survive.

im off to bed
tomorrow
g'night all :wave:

The war in Iraw is stupid. Why? There is no reason for it. Obviously, the "war" was actually for the US to control the oil. If it was truly because of September 11, the war would be against Terrorism ( as Bush says the war was :rolleyes: ), not just against Iraq. Not to mention, Israel and Korea actually have weapons, yet the US hasn't declared war against them. To me, it is either because:

1) Everyone would hate Bush

2) They get nothing out of it, thus, supporting my "theory" on the Iraq thing

3) Fear.

Either way, my post yet again made no sense whatsoever.

Shush :(...

the only way that Communism could work in a modern society is through the techniques and governing tools of Fascism. there would need to be an amalgam of the two's policies and ideals to truly work

but this is a very far fetched and roughly sketched idea i had whilst studying politics for a while. sadly i dropped the course and never really got to fully work out my ideas

Nah, that's basically how half of the United States feels. It's all good.

I have to say President Bush doesnt know what hes doing. Just when I am about to start to support his actions, he pulls another dumb Texas move, and I hate him again.
He doesn't have the support a good president should.

*yawns* meesa tired...

Paul: Referring to earlier post, worldwide communism (or whatever is called) is impossible at the moment, but I thought you were referring to a specific nation or whatever, so sorry for the misunderstandment (sp?).

Jaco Jr: Good night.

To whomever: I HATE ANIMAL FARM.

Its really not greed that stops communism from being truely excellent its more the fact that humans can't help but want to be rewarded for doing something, althought you would think that having food and shelter for free would be enough.
