  3. Russian colony of the United States

    i am sure that eastern europe having a much higher growth rate than the eurozone has nothing to do with it i am equally convinced that the rise of BRICS bank potential, again, nothing at all to do with any of this maybe the russians see the banksters for what they are?

  6. Socialism does work

    i dont claim to use the fallacy known as logical reasoning. i just make observations and go from that. one observation, and one can observe a lot (or as thelerner says alot) they are interchangeable))) just by watching. what i have observed is that human nature is human nature despite whatever system is employed. there is no magical dystopia to be found anywhere, except for very brief moments---then human nature stays true to itself and things again become as they once were. folks that choose to be cops, clergy, doctors, politicians, etc there is a reason in their dna they choose the way they do. there are good and bad in all fields , i know there are good doctors somewhere. i also understand they are the minority.

    if you believe your healthcare will be of higher quality and less corrupt, murderous, and ineffective in a non socialized system. i think your logical rationality is failing you. it will likely be the same employees in place in either system. if you feel the corruption of big pharma is somehow removed if you change the organization of the system in place, doesnt follow logic. regardless of insurance in place--the number 3 killer, statistically is a doctor. during the enlightenment, when logical rationality was very much in vogue--it was the rich, nobility, clergy, and doctors that were singled out as the cancer to society. they didnt have socialized medicine in those days.........
  8. "What is to reverse the qi flow?" think backlash "In wind, wearing a scarf is helpful to protect the back of the neck." my favorites are my silk air force ones, but, i am a lil nostalgic at times "Give yourself 10 to 20 years to absorb it all" is 20 years a long time? if absorbed it "all" already what is left to absorb for the next 20 years (and beyond) ? idk abt being hit by lightning being anything special except maybe in wrong place at wrong time. if it is an achievement, then at age 9 i gained that level, dont feel i necessarily understand more now than before but it is an unforgettable experience. i knew i must have been guilty of something for it to have happened my encounters with 'rods' are equally interesting if not more so "Cheers!" you buying the next round? ^^ to ya'll healers. if you are giving energy to heal someone, is that a cost to your own?

  10. split from "sometimes I feel that" thread

    you envision a state that will not privilege business interests over regular citizens? i am with you there brother. it also sounds rather marxist. i still call fantasy on that. and if we remove state entirely then the barons will hire an army to kill off any citizens that live on coal land. it isnt like they havnt already done that very thing numerous times with us presidential/senate/governor/ approval.
  11. split from "sometimes I feel that" thread

    this was taken in rural kentucky we have 12 year olds selling rifles at the public diner with a uniformed cop sitting at the next table eating a chili dog with mustard and onion. however also in kentucky we always have the free enterprising coal barons who left unchecked or while even in check will kill an entire small town to break off the top of a mountain to get a fat seam of coal. poisoning the water, no worries they can kill a fresh water stream for 100's of years and pay a fifty thousand dollar fine. so, and to clarify when i say kill a small town, i dont mean figuratively, allegorically, or symbolically, i mean regulated or not they actually kill folks if they have to to get to the coal, directly and indirectly by poisoning the air and water. so, i am on the side of regulation karl as much as idealistically, i wish we lived in a world where folks were responsible and would act so, facts seem to bear out that capitalist swine only understands greed in some instances.

    idealistically i agree with karl, but in practice,,it seems to be wishful thinking, a fantasy
