I beg your pardon? Welcome to the board Peace

The problem is entirely people. Supporters of communism must also believe that all people are type Y personalities. Supporters of fascism must believe that all people are type X personalities. When you believe that all people are a mix of Y and X then you must also support capitalism where people are rewarded on there own merit. The reason we all want to believe in communism is simple: equality. We all desire equality. Most of us are not rich, and no matter how hard we work, will never be rich. In it's most perfect form, communism would guaranty us all the same opportunities. However, as thoroughly establish, communism will never exist in it's most perfect form. What we are left with is an imperfect capitalist system, where the wealth trend about the poverty line decreased exponentially generation to generation (this is a product of the lack of wealth being passed, and the increasing educational demands. Education demands money, lack of education predicates lower income). Next you have a stay line just above low class where people neither increase in wealth, nor do they decrease. (This is a product of the fact that as wealth is increased, education to attain wealth increases, balancing the loop) Finally you have the upper case, who's wealth is increased exponentially (This is a product of inherited wealth being coupled with increased income, where the inheritance pays or exceed education and therefor total generation wealth increases) The average wealth the generation doesn't actually change but the differential between the wealthy and the poor does. The point I'm trying to make, though rambling, is that in theory communist ideals would stop this trend, putting all people on the stay line. Ideally an economy would prefer to have everybody in the top curve, but that requires exponential economic growth. A palatable solution is to compensate all the persons who are dropping to the point of staying them. However, this is not entirely possible since as we have all observed persons who are on the slipping curve will not, on the whole, use support funds to stay. Neither will the take part in educational activities to better there income. This is on the whole of course, there are people that will try very hard if given the opportunity. What we must find is a way of solving the trend. Peace btw, too long to proof read, forgive errors. Also my trend is very simplistic, and based solely off my own experiences.

I only make the US failing on 10-14... buy failing I mean not meeting more than 50% of the criteria. scary... They could have called it father-land security... but all the neo-nazi's started shining their curb stomping boots. Peace

1. My parent played S&G music on all are road trips (along with Carol King... but I have not love for Carol King) 2. Great music, timeless lyrics 3. America... just to be different, when my family moved to Canada, this song was playing on the cassette on the way to the airport. ;) We've all come to look for America :angry: Peace

I just watched the end of an episode... good stuff Peace

I could load it up on the computer if I had a copy. The file would be huge though... maybe anton would want to stream it from nf. Peace

That's misrepresentation though... I mean had russia been democratic the cold war would have still happened. The US doesn't go to war with democracies, they just sponsor radicals into power there and then go to war with the fascist state they created. Peace

Indeed that is the greatest forum post ever. I think your correct with the reasoning that communism is flawed in implementation. But you have clearly pointed out that the flaw is not within the idea itself, but within the assumptions about human nature. Peace

hmm... Anton do you want to field this... I could make some discs... but I don't want to steal your thunder. Peace

Does the music background the book, or does the book background the music. Consider the Night Opus, and Jenny's Song... The Night Opus is clearly a more complete story... Peace

I argue that his music would be of the same quality if he was still part of the MGB. Peace

I find that I only get good coverage on American channels... and I don't care about American athletes. But considering that Canada would only send Canadian athletes that were ranked in the top 12 in the world, there are allot of sports that don't have Canadian representation. Peace

Dave Genn Rockorzzz Peace

holy shit that is freaky... I just posted a reference to jenny's song on your introduction thread. I am now declaring myself psychic as well. I'm sticking with Change of Season, but Viking 7 could be me as well. Peace

Who ask about quicktime? There is no other way to watch a quicktime stream. Quicktime is an mpg layer 4 codec made by our friends, the people at apple. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ yes, you can get if for you nasty 8086 architecture machines (that's PC for the uninformed) The apparitions video is good... I'm going to watch it right now Peace

I don't agree, I believe the MGB was the result of the creative driving force of all of the band members. Matt's music had developed since the break up, but the direction is different, the mood, and feel is different. Matt's work as a solo artist is clearly a result of himself, and is clearly different then the work of the MGB. Peace

hit the hub (unless they put that stupid minimum shares crap on there) you can get all the stuff there... Peace

negetory

It is interesting. As mush as I would like to believe Bush is the Antichrist, they always do weird shit when they make those proofs. And Nostradumus' work if very cryptic, mainly because regardless of his ability to see the future, he didn't want to get charged with heresy. Peace

I like ASR... but I feel it could have been more... Apparitions is an awesome video Peace

I'm gonna get some pics next early morn. Peace

Nice word thematic... I am adding it to my lexicon. Peace

Change of Seasons... Although that is in a nostalgic sense Peace

you imply that the futility of the protest makes it less valid as a protest. Even if one person doesn't make a difference, 10 000 one persons do. Peace

shocking! Peace
