lol good choice choosing Wal - Mart, Target is one of those countries that are on the list of possibly going bankrupt in 2011...

Pretty sure it was Target anyways......

Just make sure not to get stuck in Walmart, or you can expect one really shitty life.

Walmart, world's largest employer. Second is the Chinese army, I believe.

which is also owned by wal mart

Heck no, I dont plan on it. Its just something to help me save for college, which I plan on attending in a year.

The Chinese own everything except the weapons, Russia owns the weapons, they sell over 50% of the world's weapons and still have more than enough for themselves. I believe the stats were around 75sh - 87sh. They sell at least 75% of the world's weapons :/

U.S.A isn't the only country in debt to China, there are many more countries, and they are raising the debt, they don't care that we saved them in World War II...

Russia has no debt with China, they are goody goody due to the communism, along with North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, and Iran. Russia may be a federation now but some of those provinces are still Communist... And more are Socialist, and very few are democracy. All Communists of the world are good with each other, while all Democrats of the world mostly hate each other... Ironic isn't it?

Seriously, Socialism is more stable than a Democracy... In Capitalistic Democracy your on your own, while in a Socialism, you get help from the government, BUT they take the money from someone else so there's the drawback. But then they take the money out of inglorious rich people first XD

Oh, what happened?

Basicly, all of the Democrats / Republics hate each other, all of the Socialists / Communists / Fascists love each other.

That's what happened

...Did you just put facists and socialists in the same category?


Do US schools even have Societal Knowledge class? I mean, we learnt about the different political theories in like 7th grade.

Oh, wait, damn...

Forgot that Fascist was way different.....

And no, U.S schools don't have Societal Knowledge classes, or anything about Politics. Hell, we don't even learn U.S History... Learned everything at home.....

I still hold to the belief that Americans are weird

Indeed... He's probably joining them because both have had dictatorships (the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese dictatorships were fascist, while the USSR was a communist dictatorship (well, technically, a single-party democratic state)).

Besides, Communism isn't the opposite of Democracy, it's the opposite of Capitalism.

Yeah, Communism one of those interesting ones. In its truest form, Communism is one of the best ways of having life, where the people work for the people etc, except people are very bad at self guided leadership which generally leads to these dictators coming into power because they're able to promise guidance and support until things get running. I mean in short, that's sort of what happened to Russia in the early twentieth century. Once they had their revolution there was a very short period of time where they were truly communist, but everything was in shambles and I'm sure you all probably know this so I won't go on, but yeah, then they get Stalin and all that fun stuff we learn in history class.

Basicly, communism is a bong dream. It's amazing, but it doesn't work in the real world because it completely forgets the real world isn't all happyness, unicorns and good,intelligent and happy people.

Exactly, it's main problem essentially comes from the fact that humans are corrupt and it appears ruled by greed quite a bit, which seems to be one of the biggest motivators for a lot of people

Actually, Socialism is the opposite of Capitalism, Socialism and Capitalism are about the Market... Still, I'm mostly Polish, I'm like, what over 60% Polish? My dad only came to America to escape the Socialism ( In Poland it was real bad ), and he came here because back then America was portrayed as perfect. He was real wrong, he was on his own, but he got lucky and now were like the richest people in our neighborhood. He's critical to Boeing so if he goes down Boeing will probably go down, along with Avio Interiors, maybe Brice, a lot of other critical Plane Manufacturing companies... Patty Murray is trying to destroy my dad's business by making laws limiting it, she knows my dad is critical to Boeing and a lot of people... I think Patty Murray is ' anti - Corporation ' or whatever those wierd anti - Corporate America people are...

You DO know that even though meanings differ nowadays, Socialism and Communism originally were one and the same, don't you?

And the opposite of Capitalism IS communism!

Gratuitous WikiQuote wrote:Communism is a sociopolitical movement that aims for a classless society structured upon communal ownership of the means of production and the end of wage labour and private property. The exact definition of communism varies and it is commonly used interchangeably with socialism, however, communist theory contends that socialism is just a transitional stage on the way to communism.

Communal ownership (Hence the name) and the end of private property, while capitalism:

Another Gratuitous WikiQuote wrote:Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production and distribution and industry are privately owned and operated for a private profit; decisions regarding supply, demand, price, distribution, and investments are made by private actors in the market rather than by central planning by the government; profit is distributed to owners who invest in businesses, and wages are paid to workers employed by businesses.

The Last Gratuitous WikiQuote wrote:Economic liberalism is the economic component of classical liberalism. It is an economic philosophy that supports and promotes laissez-faire economics and private property in the means of production.

Economic liberalism is the ideology behind capitalism, and it defends Private Property...

My legs are sore after 4 hours of standing still for a sea cadet inspection.

Sea Cadet?

And they were different even back then, but there was barely any difference...

Yeah The cadets like to take there tine during inspection, I once got an 1 hour lecture for wearing my beret wrong

lol

Is a Sea Cadet like a Grunt in the Military except the Navy? Or is it like a pre - join the Military thing where you learn and stuff.....

How are teenagers allowed in the armed forces anyway? Don't you have to be 18 years of age or is this like ROTC in the USA?

its not the armed forces it's like a youth group thats run by them

The Latter

Oh, of course. They send out 13 year old to the frontlines. Makes them men, you see.

Everybody needs their own cannon fodder.

Nobody likes small children/early teenagers anyways!

Dude, damn, I had no idea he was 13...

Plus using children could be very very useful... Easy to manage, people wouldn't kill or harm them because of ethical / moral reasons... Plus they can be easily trained, and maintained.....

With vans that have free candy signs?

cool 20 people logged on today, haven't had that happen in quite a while. I presume going back to FT:TUF has been helping

There's a stupid thing called Human rights, and laws, not sure why they were made.

Human Rights were made because the U.S were so powerful they could boss anyone around back then, but the U.S.S.R didn't abide by them... The U.S made them when they were as powerful as I said..... But still, a country can make it's own decisions, if they don't want Human Rights fine, I'm staying away, but it's their decisions........ I can't imagine the U.S threatening anyone right now, they are in war in three areas, high tension in four areas, wait, 7...... The U.S is slowly losing the last of their oil because damn hippies won't allow us to drill Alaska. The U.S needs to make a law allowing them to actually shoot anyone who blocks this stuff... Hippies aren't anti - war, they claim to be but aren't, some time ago in Washington, some hippies protested, and attacked U.S Soldiers who were supposed to be reinforcements. They attacked with sticks, stones, home made tear gas, anything they deemed ' unviolent ' which was a lot...

Politics and talk of politics bores me. Never liked them, never will. Too damn confusing for me to comprehend.

So has anyone ever played Desktop Destroyer?

wait we have human rights being discussed in two threads? this is foolishness

when we found america, we should of give you a better name.

Ill take that answer as a no go on the desktop destroyer thing then...

never heard of it. but what ever happened to the plans to make a section for chess tournaments and such?

Well that's just too bad. You're not gonna understand when the government turns into a totalitarian dictatorship and takes away your AARP rights and social security.

The U.S Government takes money out of people's Social Security without telling them to help pay off the debt... So my parents try to get the least amount of money in it as possible.....

A-BIack_Man wrote:i work lots.

Ditto.

Wishing i woked so i could have alot of money...

Also, hating half the teen population. My mobile was stolen in school on friday. Some dickhead found it lying on a table i guess and thought ''oh! free mobile! fuck the owner, who cares if he won't afford a new one for 4 months? i'm all that matters in the entire world!''. And unfortunately, there's alot more people around my age that think the same way. Here's hoping the dick will be in a really, really painful accident or something, as karmic revenge.

it's not exclusive to your age group thingy

What a dickbag. Fortunately I've never had that problem and I just broke all my cell phones. Every time I get really angry slam the thing on a table and it always breaks. Not fair. I've broken 3 so far...

I understand your feelings, Thingy... I've already lost one mobile... I somehow came to know that the cellphone was "offered" by some douchbag to his girlfriend...

The cops refused to investigate because it was a "small theft"... And If I done the investigation myself, I could go to a correction home...

Darn stupid democratic constitution...
