Govt assault on young 'uns continues

[Akzle]

That's just crazy talk. You can't have a none financial solution to financial problems, think about the fallout... and motorcycles need money to come into existence. Jesus, you're talking about all but eradicating hunger and poverty and crime and war along with giving governments and corporations absolutely no reason to keep secrets or hoard useful information that may allow other country's to drag themselves into this century and start to be able to look after the people in their country propelling humanity and their ability forwards at a rate never seen and seldom thought about... amongst other things. That's just fuckin madness, why the fuck would anyone want to work half of the hours giving themselves more time to spend with their kids bringing them up with some form of moral perspective instead of rearing a bunch of cutthroat zombies. Insanity... bring on the zombies.

quiet in the cheap seats.

Yeah. What tree did you pick that laptop from, dude?

Metaphore for what? You can have that any time you want, jump a plane to any third world economy.

No, it comes down to what I'm worth to my customers. "Society's" got fuck all say in it.

And if you've got issues about your bank's management why don't you find another one? There must be at least one run according to your ideals, shirley.

i got given it, cause i'm awesome. failing that, laptops don't GROW on trees, dumbass. when a mummy PC and daddy PC love each other very much, the daddy's floppy disk becomes a hard drive, he uploads his bit stream , 9 months later a laptop is produced.

yeah. nah. metaphor was the wrong word for how i finished that sentence.

what ARE you worth to your customers? if your customers do not need your product/service to live, what good is it?

and no, there is no bank or financial institution that is "run according to my ideals"

[Brian d marge]

yeah

Stephen

[bogan]

if your customers do not need your product/service to live, what good is it?

Plenty, how many weeks of food did your laptop cost? (hint; even if you were given it, somebody bought it)

One could argue that a macbook air is a better killing implement than a stick, however in terms of hunter gathering, a stick is a better option than a laptop in 99% of the case. I will generously offer to trade you two sticks for one laptop if you like.

Is the squirrel who stores nuts a capitalist?

No.

Is the stag who eats more grass, gets bigger than the other males, fights, wins, then gets to mate with the girlies, a capitalist?

No ... if you think that either of those animal examples might be capitalist then you do not understand capitalism ...

Not advocating a barbaric or greedy society, but myself seeking a natural sustainable model, comrade.

Lets let the lazy, silly, meek, and excessively compliant.... breed.... See what sort of animal farm we will end up with, a herd of domesticated beasts, ripe for a shit fight and takeover from outsiders


Or a herd compromised by weaker males getting a sly root too often... and spawning more of the same...

I'm sure that many supposedly communist leaders, such as Josef Stalin, wouild agree with you ...

[Banditbandit]

Nothing to do with capitalism. There were and are businesses in every economy, no matter the politics. And if you don't want to deal with them then you're quite right, you can live off whatever you can supply for yourself. Most inteligent people have found, though that they do far better specialising in one field and using the earnings from that to pay other specialists for what they need. That's business.

I agree ... which is why I go to work and don't stay home to gather food. However, that does not make it "business" ...

Actually neither do. The guy buying the goods/services the employee generates decides what it's worth. There's obviously higher wages and profit generated by a good employee working within an effective business.

It's not obvious ... many business improve and generate higher earnings - but wemployers do not pass that on to the workers ...

sorry to burst your bubble. you don't own shit.
you have a legal claim to fee simple title, your government retains THEIR claim to allodial title, you better hope they don't want to put pylons or a motorway through your section, you better hope you don't strike oil, cos then you gon' be moved on in short order.
pay your rates, don't discharge anything beyond the 'boundary', don't tip paint down the sink...

Yeah yeah ... It's mine ... and I am armed ... (Treaty of Waitangi AND guns ...)

14, 000, 000, 000/ 4, 000, 000 = $3500.00 for every man, woman and child using an account in their legal name... nah.

Yeah .. you are right .. it was $14million (go here http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU121...profitable.htm) . serves me right for quoting from memory ...

The Exploited - Fuck the System

yeah

Stephen

Yeah .. and what are you doing about that? What do you actually DO (apart from sitting on your system-designed, built and paid for computer keyboard wanking ?

Yeah . thought so ... just another keyboard warrior slagging off the system you're benefiting from

He's just taking the piss you buffoon!

Isn't that what we are all doing??

Most of us are more part timers...

And I should be a tree hugging hippie then.
but on a serious note , I can hold my head up when it comes to trying to stop things change things , lets just say I’ve been to the beehive and meeting with ministers on more than one occasion ( at MY expense ) gave up banging my head on a brick wall and now through hard work and LOTS of study, am now in a reasonable position,

During that time of head banging, I had a chance to study and found the system we are using is fundamentally flawed, this is why I spend hours harping on about the same thing again and again and again as you would to if you looked into it.

That song does contain some truth , you can change , by being informed and small changed ( bank locally with a bank that is local and puts thing back into the community , shop locally start a vege patch )

If you don’t you end up with a community ( which you have now ), which is divided and unequal , with the resultant poverty and the problems that come with it (the original topic of this thread )

but then being a keyboard warrior what would I know ....

Stephen

Ps Hrc paid very nicely thank you ....

[Banditbandit]

And I should be a tree hugging hippie then.

Only if you want to - I wouldn't recommend it ... tree-huggers don't usually like bike riders .. and the chicks are pretty hairy ...

but on a serious note , I can hold my head up when it comes to trying to stop things change things , lets just say I’ve been to the beehive and meeting with ministers on more than one occasion ( at MY expense )

Well, that was very dumb ...

gave up banging my head on a brick wall

And that's why t'was very dumb ..

and now through hard work and LOTS of study, am now in a reasonable position,

During that time of head banging, I had a chance to study and found the system we are using is fundamentally flawed,

I wonder which of my colleagues in tertiary education taught you that?

this is why I spend hours harping on about the same thing again and again and again as you would to if you looked into it.

Mate - I harp on about it in class to people just like you
