I couldn't agree more about unions
add in the fact they try to take away a man's right to negotiate for him self
All I can see union's doing now is encouraging mediocrity

Find it funny how pro union peoplr in union's are
That tells me something

Thanks Serge!!

Shit somebody said the magic word for my capitalistic mind...UNIONS!!

UNIONS are the antitheists of human endeavor AND the American spirit!! They preach sameness and solidarity to mediocraty.They are the BANE of capitalism and ANYTHING that rewards being remunerated for performance.

JohnIP EVERYONE...(that performs)...EATS STEAK!!:)

"Why not make the illiterate person a politician, or "upper management"? "

"Less productive than most municipal employees, even! " - that's funny

not saying displace already gainfully employed

Create more jobs
Who sifts though tons of refuse now to seperate recyclable?
There are many other opportunties

Would hope the human spirit feels better making a contribution. whatever it may be


"The chronically unemployed are on welfare because they choose the path of least resistance"
Why should I support them ...
So I don't get robbed???!!!!

Mike, political discussions that involve "party politics" is a losing battle: Both parties stand for whatever will get them elected. Boring... can't tell them apart most of the time as they climb all over eachother to get to the center.

Vick, if you put your illiterate person to work picking up garbage, what do you do with the unionize sanitation worker (garbage collector) that was making 22$ an hour, that is suddenly unemployed? Forced employment is a very communistic idea, and one that leads to poor productivity (becuase people usually end up in jobs they are no good at). Why not make the illiterate person a politician, or "upper management"?

Problem is, you cannot fix a system by pushing people up the hill to employment, because you keep pushing people off of the other side. You take work away from gainfully employed people and give it to welfare people, you get a half ass job, and the same level of unemployment.

People forced to work are VERY unproductive. Less productive than most municipal employees, even! You need to find ways to convince them that they should work, not ways that force them to make sudden (and often poor) choices of lifestyle. Trust me, most welfare people, without a regular check, will be holding you up on the street within a week. Sorry, that is just how things work. The chronically unemployed are on welfare because they choose the path of least resistance. Not working is less strenuous than working. Holding someone up once a week to get enough money to live is easier than working 40 hours.

Accept the fact that, no matter the system, some people won't work. Figure that they still can vote, and they are big enough numbers to shift an election (see party politics, above). Now who do you think is going to cut them off?

Nobody.

Alex,
"are you going to climb over the bodies of the homeless, the sick, and the handicapped to get to your upscale home?"

I guess you missed it. I AM one of the sick. Still, I work for a living; and I don't mean I fly a desk. I drive 'hotshot' for a Houston trucking company; and that is a very dangerous as well as demanding job. Driving around this place in a hurry is like playing Russian Roulette. Why should my money be taken to support someone who is not only capable of working, but will be around long after I am gone?

As for the others, like I said, the charities and churches enjoy tax-exempt status...let them do what they claim to be there to do. Stop sending people like the two Waco girls into places like Afghanistan (where all they do is cause problems) and 'minister' to the people in THIS society who need help. Let them stop backing political candidates from the pulpit and building huge, ornate churches and help the poor.

BTW, you think you know who the richest non-government entity in the world is? Well, guess again! It is the Vatican! Their taxes? Zip, zero, nada, zilch!

You could talk (or post) from now on, and you couldn't convince me that Socialism makes sense for the simple reason that Liberals (Socialists) believe that they have a right to reach into my pocket and take my money by force (plain old robbery) because they 'feel' for this or that person or cause. If a man on the street robs me, that is illegal. Why is it any less so for a bunch of them calling themselves various political terms to basically do the same thing? Please notice that they always make sure that THEY have plenty. They never give until it hurts THEM! Bingo! You have the same system that exists in any Communist country!

I have to say that this political discusion has been the most sophisticated I have ever read on a porn board. Much better then the issues of Republvian vs. Democrate. In many ways the parties are too similiar to make real differences.

I think this country was much more self efficent and had true capitalism before the great depression. Since then the gov't has continued creeping in and take more power from states and individuals.

What built this country is rugged individualism - unfettered by gov't to allow people to be the best they can be. We will never see that again...

Refuse that needs to be picked up, streets that need to be swept... whatever
There is a match
If that doesn't suit, it is the start to work up
If they don't want to do it - let them waste


I have a huge problem with social safety nets
I would end welfare yesterday
Let the looting begin
It will only last a short time
and .....
Where will it happen?
Where those who refuse to work are
Where those who will not contribute are

Really consider what if all the producers went on strike
What if we stopped producing and giving in to the looters?
And left ......
and left everything to the looters, those who will not be productive

Vick, I agree: One of the best things that has happened in the last 10-15 years have been the "workfare" programs, that attempt to break the cycle of poverty, unemployment, and welfare life that many families have had for generations and generations.

Uneducated, otherwise unemployable people will resort to crime to survive. Brazil is the best example, Rio is one of the most dangerous places to be in the world.

DJ: One of the most important things to learn is that NO system exists in a vacuum, and no system runs in a perfect world. I tend to be an all or nothing person, and I can even understand that! Realitic Objectivism... maybe that should be Realitic living? :-)

I knew you were gonna love that book, Vick. It's the culmination of her work and philosophy, the basic tenets of which I've never seen refuted logically. Unfortunately, it preaches a philosophical ideal which we'll never see. Over the years and the 30+ times I've read the book, I've learned to adapt to what I call Realistic Objectivism. Taking the philosophy as far as possible while realizing the world as it exists is a reality you still have to deal with.

Torone, Socialism is voluntary in that it is a variable political system, unlike communism.

There is not a single capitalist state in the world that doesn't have some level of socialism built into it - the system needs it as the lubrication that makes the wheels go around.

As for churches, charities, and such... I don't know about you, but I am tired of the overwhelming number of charities and funds and such that exist. 9-11 just added thousands more to that list. They are mostly valid, but there are too many. If I gave each one $1 a year, I would be broke (and so would everyone else here, there are literally tens of millions of registered charities in the world).

Social welfare, the redistribution of funds from the rich to the poor, exists because for everyone kind hearted person who gives money, there is someone saying "it's my money, you can't have it". The ongoing lack of compassion for those MUCH worse off means that the state must take steps to secure the funds to avoid the lawlessness and suffering that comes from millions of people with no food, no shelter, and no other way except theft to obtain it. Basically, the money spent out in social payments is often a subtle form of crime prevention. (Don't think so? Look at Brazil - crime levels are very high, because their social safety net does not work... street people end up killing and being killed on a daily basis, just to survive).

Torone, Socialism as a total system is effectively unworkable (see Sweden). However, total capitalism is a non starter as well - are you going to climb over the bodies of the homeless, the sick, and the handicapped to get to your upscale home?

It rubs both ways.

But you're right on the concept. Get the surfer into our system. Let them surf 'our' sites when looking for porn. Eventually they will buy access to a premium site.

Plus we pay you for all the free signups as well plus you get traffic. You don't get traffic back from 4free paysites ;)

Alex,
I fail to see any real difference. Socialism is also involuntary. It can not work for very long. eventually, it creates enough 'bottom feeders' that the system cannot sustain them. As the process continues, the system is faced with two alternatives: Either print money which has no backing (and therefore no value) or resort to involuntary servitude (slavery).

As for the genuinely needy, what is wrong with the various charities and churches doing what they are supposed to do instead of using our donated money to become involved in politics? I see these bigshots like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Pope, etc. making their political statements every day; but when a disaster happens, or my neighbor is ill, they can only offer prayers while THEY sit back and live the life of luxury. In a Capitalist society, the poor need not be addressed for the simple reason that they CHOOSE to be poor (much like the 'homeless", who choose to stand on a street corner and collect donations which they then turn to their organisations at the end of the day).

It's MY money! I earned it! What right does ANYONE have to come to me and take it AT GUNPOINT?

I'm gonna tell you something: I have 'the big C', but The fucking liberals are too busy making political points to help me out. Their attitude is: You had a problem 10 years ago with taxes; so you go ahead and die.

No, Socialism is NOT voluntary! Anyone who believes that it is, is already brainwashed.

I was hoping for some input on http://www.keyshield.com/

As far as I know it's the only AVS like system that use pay per view.

It's also the only system to award productive webmasters - the more signups your site sends the higher your site will be placed on the linklists. Plus your 'premium' sites will be advertised in a top frame for all surfers you refer.

We are beta testing a $0.5 per free signup payout right now. Unlike 4free type paysites we have much more to offer so the signup ratio has been incredible! It REALLY is totally free for surfers to sign up :)

I would appreciate some input. What should we change/add for you to sign up as a webmaster?

Caffeine is mucking up all my adenosine receptors. My neurons think it's the 4th of July. Mother neuron, baby. Hold on!

On Sunday I was mowing the lawn and those goddamned cockroaches were back - carrying off my soul and drinking my nectar. What the hell do
they think they are? Ants?

Don't know why the hell they always come back whenever I'm mowing the lawn. Maybe the music isn't loud enough.

I'm gonna get the goddamned biggest can of RAID the world's ever seen and wipe those fuckers out. Know what I mean?

What's your favorite Beatles song?

Mine is ..

"Across the Universe"

For the lyrical melody .. not the lyrics .. but just in case ...

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Ulfie, the one downfall is that politicians figured out the one thing that the lazy and the unworking will do: VOTE.

In a Presidential election that was won by about a room full of votes, nobody wants to be the one to piss off 10% of the population.

Capitalism's safety net is just a hammock with a fancy name, especially if people lay in that net long enough.

Vick, always up for a political chat. Read PJ, you will laugh while ya learn some things.. I did. :-)

Capitalism provides for a safety net, socialism provides a hammock. I have never understood why people who collect a welfare check shouldn't have to actually do some work to get it. Whether it be picking up trash on the highways or whatever at least make able bodied people do SOMETHING for the money. Welfare has created a whole society of people who create nothing, do nothing, and add nothing to society. That needs to be changed.

Note: Excite @ home homepage is no longer available... *for whom the bell tolls*

Vick, absolute capitalism only works in a system where everyone is educated, everyone is physically able, and everyone is perfectly healthy. Sadly, there is illness, disabilities, and people who are just not in a position to get up off the ground. Those people need the help.

I agree, however, that many socialist systems create a "why work?" mentality that really has a huge negatie impact in the world. (Too bad they don't have computers, then they could just spam and make millions).

As I said, it looks like about 10-15% of ALL of the population here is living off the government. Probably 1/4 of that number are screwing the system in one way or another to avoid work.

Remember also, there is a "natural" unemplyment level, somewhere near about 4%. When the employment levels get below that, like it did about a year ago, you start getting really shitty service at your mcdrivethru, because they had to hire people who really just don't want to work, just shouldn't work, and don't give a shit if they have a job or sleep in a box.

No absolutism, perhpas?

Alex, I have a large challenge with tax supported goverment intervention to support those who will not or can not support themselves
Socialism lends its self to that much too easily
Charity begins at home
Not with a goverment handout

And I do not see the need for any socialism be it for the sick, weak or just plain fucking lazy or stupid

That is what families are for
and Darwinism

Alex, have heard of P.J. O'Rourke's Eat the Rich, will have to look into it

My challenge still lies with "10-15% of the population directly lives off of the handouts from other people's taxes."

Why should I be burdened with them?
Socialsim encourages or at the very least enables these bottom feeders


Will respectfully disagree with you in regards to Capitalism
"An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market."

For me that is a workable system
Your returns are from your efforts and ability
And no room should be left for those who will not work or produce

Vick, there is a big difference in these isms...

Communism is an absolute. Everybody has to play the game.

Socialism is a bottom feeder's game. In our case here, 10-15% of the population directly lives off of the handouts from other people's taxes.

Pure socialism is not workable. Pure communism is not workable. But, pure 100% capitism is not workable either. Our societies face the problems of the sick, the weak, the stupid... we are compassionate (even adult webmasters), and as such, we need SOME socialism to make the whole thing work out.

Might i suggest P.J. O'Rourke's Eat the rich? Amusing, but more importantly, explains the "too much" theory in great detail.

You're smarter than that.....
Communism and Socialism have never worked anywhere at anytime for anyone or any society

There are those who will not hold up their end or put forth the required effort for either to work and hide behind the ideals of those ism's

Why should the common good of all be a concern on the top 10%?

Why should the top 10% be burdened with the other 90%?

Moose, it's true, at&t caused this whole mess because they are trying to buy the network for next to nothing. They figured getting it shut down would make it worth even less. Now Microsoft and ComCast have put bids in so it's even more screwed up. at&t "claims" they will have their network up in 2 weeks. Until then I'm SOL because I can't get dsn where I live so I'm stuck with a shitty dialup.

Torone, the difference:

Communism: Basically, everyone "get's some" mostly because everyone have a job, everyone is made "useful", even if they are not. Most often associated with a command economy, where the state dictates what work is done.

Socialism: Basically, everyone "get's some" mostly because there is a huge social safety net that creates a minimum income, medical, and such. The state does not dictate what you do, it just takes a big percentage of your income and does with it as it sees fit.

I live in Quebec. Socialism to the end. If I actually had any personal income, I would pay anything up to 52% income tax - to pay for all those lovely social things.

Biggest difference between socialism and communism is that socialism does, to a point, work in a free society. Communism REQUIRES that you bow down to the state.

End results are similar.

I am about to step on a lot of toes; and for the pain, I apologize.

You people who bill yourselves as liberals really need to learn what that equates to. Today's liberal believes in SOCIALISM, pure and simple. That is where the term 'corporate welfare' comes from. There is no such thing. What is welfare about either NOT taking money away from the people who lawfully earned it or giving back money (taken by extortion) which shouldn't have been taken in the first place.

Socialism=Society owns all assets
Communism=Community owns all assets

Please show me the difference between the two.

While you are at it, tell me why 75% of my meager earnings should either be taken for taxes or should pay other people's taxes. Tell me why the government should have a right to tell me how much water my toilet must hold, or whether I can smoke in my own house or car.

If there were no such thing as withholding of payroll taxes, you can pretty much bet that the IRS (the liberal's favorite beaurocracy) would last less that a decade. If the average Joe had to sit down and write a check at the end of every year to pay for that bloated monster to keep functioning, Liberal Politicians would have to do what they should do, anyway...leave this country!!!

I support the effort to track down and eliminate the terrorists in and out of this country. The liberals are too busy trying to bring down our president to realize that their own icon (FDR) did far worse things to civil rights. Bush's order specifically EXCLUDES American citizens and further limits certain actions to non-citizens who are suspected of being tied to ben Laden and/or Al Qaeda.

For those who still wish to bring this country down, I have this warning:
You're walking on the fightin' side of me!
