I'm not pro anarchism lol, that was just something I had in mind.

I also don't think capitalism is "evil", I just think there can be better less corrupt ways to live already and especially in the future.

Anarcho Capitalism is possible just like Anarcho-Communism... And no you are not qualified to say that it is impossible, philosophers and scientists have studied and experimented with this for 200 years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho_capitalism

Lastly, Capitalist countries still have much more international wars then any other system, largely due to the fact that most countries are capitalist but also because "peace" and "capitalism" are not associated with each other at all.

For example, Communist Cuba had only one war in it's history. In those same years, USA had wars with Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea...

Hell, anything can make anyone violent.

 

There are many legitimate (from a moral sense, I mean) reasons why someone would want to do drugs. Sigmund Freud prescribed cocaine to some of his patients.

 

Some people get violent when they do drugs granted. A lot of people also get violent when their hockey team loses. *cough*Vancouver*cough*. Should we ban hockey as well?

I don't really want to ban cocaine, but I'm afraid it will be misused so badly....

Imagine you are in a depressive or drunk state in a bar and some seller uses a moment and sticks a needle of cocaine in you, the next thing you know you are addicted to it and you need more cocaine.

I just don't see how cocaine can be controlled if it's going to be legal, because there would be too much of it... People will make much more plants of cocaine because it gives excellent profit.

On the other hand maybe people will understand that cocaine wasn't government propaganda once it's legal. It's just a very hard subject really. If it is legal, at least make a 20 year age restriction.

Just to comment on the "living in fear", well, I've always thought that if you speak the right way, act appropriately beforehand, have lots of "comrades" which are also not stupid or basically people who stick together for you and you for them and in situations were you still can't reason with the brute (which can happen maybe once in a life?), attack him first, or lay traps, than you should be fine.

To show how important connections are: I once happened to walk home drunk at night, and there were four people there, they tried to mug me, and one of them suddenly stopped them and said: "I know him, don't!" so they all sat back down. It turned out it was my neighbour (who is a minor thug) but I always keep ok relations with him.

I think if I'm ever getting killed I'll get killed by a psychopath. Since there is no reasoning with them and they can attack you in the most unexpected moment...

Blightmare, it takes everyone a while to go to sleep. That's why I'll set my watch to wake me up in thirty-five minutes. I heard it takes seven minutes on average for a human to fall asleep (could be a bullshit statistic).

7 MInutes!!!??? It takes me a damn half an hour to an hour, what is wrong with me?

If I have anything to say so that people don't get messed up sleep like me then:

1. Don't sleep in with music still playing, BAAAD, BAAAAAD!!

2. Do not dare to go on this forum after 1 AM.

 

Could you really sleep at night in fear, knowing that the next thug who didn't like you would be free to kick down the door to your house and murder you? Could you really sleep knowing that your life is subject to the first brute who encounters you?

 

I couldn't.

Basically Live like Vikings..... YEEAAAH!

If someone takes drugs, they're hurting no one but themselves.

But there are some drugs that do nothing but make a person violent... Those should not be legalized.

I can agree with that, it's just too dangerous. Not to say they are not going to be used, but it doesn't matter, when a person takes those kinds of drugs they are extremely vulnurable to harming society and themselves. On these extreme levels it's just wrong.

But, I can't understand why a normal person would ever try such things as cocaine, only a person with deep troubles or a poor terribly stupid fool does.

Drugs like cocaine make me sick, and the drug users even more, because a lot of them take it because they think the facts about cocaine is government propaganda, since some drugs that are illegal aren't that harmful. (Which is aother reason to legalize marijuana)

I was considering in general to lessen the salary of the super rich a bit and make the salary of the starting artists/getting into art better. The problem with artists is to get into it (Since most forms of art are expensive) But as you mentioned, that is mostly the problem wth it, enforcement of this is pretty tough. But as I said there is barely any tax money involved in here, since most funds will be cuts from the pop-culture arts.

But, yes this theory is in progress , thanks for the feedback...

What about the Nuit-Blanche though???? I know art is always going to be there, even when you won't pay the artists it will be there, because art existed since humans existed. Art also has no significant reason to exist but to entertain the human mind. But, if you force artists to do this for free, well not many will be alive by 30...

I know for a fact that almost all artists don't really care for money (Except for pop-culture artists), as long as they can survive. Generally, I think though the problem today is the more higher sophisticated music you make, the less money you get. There is less Cultural/Inteligentsia in the world then average people who don't even really care for art....

He's just awesome for what he did in the series and his character.

Caleb from blood, amazing hero who can withstand even the worst of evil and death and use the weirdest weapons like a Trapped Soul and a Voodoo Doll.

Edward Carnby, Smart and a master detective, similar to Caleb in a way, but he's not a fighter but more of a thinker, very interesting how he gets out of situations, his character about him is mostly developed in alone in the dark 2-3 though.

Doesn't talk much....

I think Gordon was powerful enough to actually force them to not write him on the list.

Start with wodpress, move to html, then make your way to Java

No but seriously, I recommend to start with python, it was an educational/clearer then c++ experience for me while it lasted and a lot of small arcade games are made on it. The point is, it is easier to use/learn (IMO) and it's capabilities are arguably much higher then most of the other alternative languages.

But if you want to learn C++ first learn C#

An interesting thing I heard about debt: since money is something that has to be physically traded, making everything electronic and in forms of debt instead of physical value transferred, that means that debt can be moved around with relative ease and negligible consequence. Like from one nation to another. Thus by legal whatevers, a big nation with lots of debt could potentially send that debt to someone else.

Actually I know a lot of people are scared about debt but I always thought of the fact that the US had many times, the most debt of all and they are doing mightily fine. Then after some major crisis all countries get debts, and thus what happens, in my opinion is that countries owe each other debts and so the debt dissapears. (If I owe you something and you owe me something then we don't really owe each other anything)

I have a hypothesis that every now and then a crisis appears and all debts get traded off in different ways, developing countries benefiting the most (At least by the statistics of GDP, GNP, per capita...) from this but I am in no way qualified to really understand if debts are a big deal or aren't...

@Doomsheperd, that site is fake, I turned of my internet it still calculated..... -_-.

 

It's called a "script." Once it's downloaded it keeps working as long as the page is still open, whether or not you turn off your internet. 21st Century, BOOYAH!

the "Script" does not account for live changes and runs on a formula given by the creator, so how is it accurate in any way?

@Doomsheperd, that site is fake, I turned of my internet it still calculated..... -_-

Now back to greece

Greece debt: Government sees hope in privatization despite protests

 

Officials see privatization as a way to dig out of Greece's debt, but newly unemployed workers are taking to the streets of Athens in protest. Tuesday's 10,000-strong demonstration may foreshadow larger protests to come, some say.

I forgot to mention a lot of people there (When I was there I saw communist signs every kilometre) want to become marxist communist, the laziest government possible...

I just don't get it, going on strike like a hippie. Sure change governments but don't stop working!!??

Man, I have no comments.

I think one specific anarchy is not a lack of government but the transitional state of 2 governments... like in Civilization . It has been observed many times.

But I think there is lots of different theories of anarchy we haven;t ovserved on a large scale, with the general idea being that there is no "head", statesmen and society movement or someone ordering people around. In general I think the idea is there is no "society" but only individual people who trade which reminds of a state which sounds like communism with a capitalist economy.

It's almost like living in a castle except without a king and taxes, everyone has a job that is non-governmental but personal. Fishermen sell directly to people who need fish not companies.

I think this episode IMO was worse in humour content then previous ones but I still enjoyed it!

This may well be due to the shortening of waiting time, so as a fan I say, take as much time as you need for FM Episodes! Quality is always better then quantity. Of course overusing time would be bad but you don't need to do this on a weekly basis, Thanks!

Quite seriously... this is the biggest year of gaming????

It would go into my bottom 3 worst years that I lived through as a game enthusiast for gaming......

Deus EX and BF 3 I can understand but those aren't really breakthroughs but continuations of good games with an older engine and probably very similar gameplay, and to call a year great you must have at least one breakthrough....

Arg... I feel frustrated.

Weird I remember having an 18 + cover, with opposing force included...

Didn't half-life officially get an 18+ Rating?

How that got uploaded to this site smeared and with an unnecessary tree and a utilities drawn

That's falsely assuming that the inhabitants will all be children or act like children.

 

Doesn't have to be so...

 

But yeah, generally it is so easy to take advantage of anarchy that I don't suggest any country today to do so.

 

Maaaaaybe in a distant future when for when we all are mature enough or in a tiny experimental state.

 

Well, the classic anarchy only works on a experimental basis or small agricultural states.

The idea was wonderful but it was still too crude to be useful on a greater scale.

Since then though, many more advanced solutions were born, based on classic anarchy.

I posted a great work that looks more closely into all of this some posts ago.

This is what happened when a part of Ukraine tried to live under anarchy:

Anarchism in Ukraine dates from the 19th century with the writings of Mykhailo Drahomanov (1841-1895), though it draws its rebellious inspiration in the actions of Nestor Makhno from the peasant uprisings of Stenka Razin and Yemelyan Pugachev as well as the Zaporozhian Cossacks.

 

The first theoretical anarchist was Mykhailo Drahomanov who was influenced by such writers as Proudhon and Bakunin. While living in Geneva, he wrote numerous political tracts against all sorts of centralized governments and favored a bottom-up form of democracy of small communities organized on a federative basis, often referring to the Swiss form of government as a model.

 

Anarchists were active in the Russian Revolution of 1905 and suffered repression following its failure. Maria Nikiforova was arrested at this time, as was Sasha Shapiro, father of the anarchist mathematician, Alexander Grothendieck[1]. Nestor Makhno and other anarcho-communists continued their attacks against aristocrats and capitalists throughout the south-eastern part of Ukraine.

 

Makhno became active again after the Russian Revolution of 1917 in the raion of Huliaipole in a peasant region. Anarchist communes formed across south-eastern Ukraine, many of them productive enough to exchange wheat for textiles with workers in Moscow. Makhno at one time fought with Bolsheviks against the White Army and, because of his refusal to subordinate his army under Bolshevik command, he was denounced as a bandit, betrayed, and ultimately defeated by the Bolsheviks. For a duration of three years he formed the Free Territory with his (mostly peasant) Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine. The Free Territory existed only until June 1919, but in that time, communities operated successfully on the economic theories of the anarchist Peter Kropotkin and educational principles of Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia.[verification needed]

 

Makhno tried to defend the Free Territory against further attacks by the Bolshevik and White armies, but lost ground throughout 1920 and 1921. By the end of 1921, the anarchist groups in Ukraine had been arrested or dispersed. Makhno fled to Romania, then Poland, and finally Paris, where he wrote his memoirs and proposed organizational tactics based on what he had learned in Ukraine.

Basically since the territory didn't have any official army or state the bolsheviks easily used this to propaganda him as an evil guy who secretly slaughters his people instead of practicing anarchy.

What followed is that even the enemies of the communists attacked them.

Then finally the bolsheviks invaded that territory where peaceful farmers resided...

Ehmmmm....

Long story...

Is Glitch Mob popular? Oh well... Glitch Mob.

That is all I have to say.

I don't personally listen to them but they are great.

It was probably the ultimate weapon.... 100$ Bribe To ESRB... if not that, then it was probably part of the game humor.

Played the game for about 1 and a half hours and so far having a good time, nothing too special yet, but at least it's funny. Of course with no secrets (Or am I missing them), and gameplay that looks almost nothing like duke 3d I was dissapointed at first but then just stopped trying to get the same kind of arcade fun from the other dukes and started playing the way the game wants me to play, I did get some nostalgic moments purely in the humour and a few of the textures, then I also found the puzzles so far very unique but fairly easy, it should nonetheless interest some people. Some engine capabilities and gameplay is very unique.

I think so far this game is almost a mix of that great dos game-style Leisure Suit Larry or Duke 3D humour with a fairly moderate modern engine just like in the typical game today.

I would say, that is a break to all those serious games coming out right now.

Very accurate review by Alyxx so far.

I'm looking forward to buy the game eventually, mostly because Gearbox deserves (not only for this duke) but also for the multiplayer.

I bet five bucks that even when natural oil will dissapear some companies will maintain making cars with bio-fuel until they eventually go bankrupt and die in the pollution they created.

That's falsely assuming that the inhabitants will all be children or act like children.

Doesn't have to be so...

But yeah, generally it is so easy to take advantage of anarchy that I don't suggest any country today to do so.

Maaaaaybe in a distant future when for when we all are mature enough or in a tiny experimental state.
