I would hardly describe myself as doom and gloom, but if you were interested in a serious conversation, I can back up my negative opinions of capitalism with evidence. I'm not making up any of the things I say, whereas this seat belt thing came out of nowhere and when you tried to back it up after the fact, you came up with one cherry picked paragraph from wikipedia, which didn't even prove your case.



I'm waiting for someone to joke that capitalism invented communism, then I can be like... well... I have some light reading for you


You haven't made one argument that I would call"solid" against capitalism yet.

She can't. Anyone who sells their labour and skills in the Capitalist world can't. It's impossible unless she does nothing but volunteer.

a sentence which perfectly rebuttals anyone who thinks capitalism is the captain of innovation, thank you.

So your saying innovation is only good when restricted to the elite?

How very communist of you. :wave:

It's not to difficult. Knowledge is power. keep adding to your Knowlage base everyday. It adds up, over a lifetime.


The worst thing you could do to yourself is sit idle.

When you become the best at what you have chosen, you become valuable. Because the whole system is based on competition.

Free market life insurance wants you dead, moron. It's the only way they substantially profit.

Insurance companies covering the labour and skills you sell openly on the free market wants you to keep selling and producing rather than seeing you on the dole so they have worked with automakers to keep you healthy and able to sell yourself on the open market.

With the ones trying to knock them off their thrown. Try visualizing a world wide king of the mountain, school yard game. Fundamentally that's all it really is.

The struggle to survive everyday makes you a slave to your own body that must be feed and taken care of. You will be a slave to your body regardless of what system, or none system you live in Harpercon.

That its in the struggle to find food or in the struggle to make money, it's not going to change. Take away the struggle and you'lll realize it's not even living.

If that's the penultimate, what's the ultimate?

Pol Pot and Stalin come to mind... You know, those wonderful people that provided such a high quality of life to millions without any of that pesky capitalism

hollande is not remotely socialist. lol. this is how disconnected you are from what socialism actually is.

You are bloody hilarious... Dumber than a bag of The Peoples hammers, but funny nonetheless

I don't know the history of the seat belt. As it turns out, I'm not the one pretending that I do either.

You don't know much about anything it seems.

Angstrom has you totally pegged... No wonder you and HarperCons get on so well
