Was always somat naggingly familiar about your inane bleating.

Cargo cult mentality.

"Members, leaders, and prophets of Cargo cults maintain that the manufactured goods ("cargo") of the non-native culture have been created by spiritual means, such as through their deities and ancestors, and are intended for the local indigenous people, but that, unfairly, the foreigners have gained control of these objects through attraction of these material goods to themselves by malice or mistake.

Cargo cults thus focus on efforts to overcome what they perceive as the undue influence of the others attracting the goods, by conducting rituals imitating behavior they have observed among the holders of the desired wealth, and presuming that their deities and ancestors will, at last, recognize their own people and send the cargo to them instead."

Piss or get off the pot. Ifn’ you don’t want to pay the asking price for what’s on offer then don’t. Best way possible to deny the rabid corporatist their daily bread, starve the bastards. Too hard for ya? Don’t know how to DIY the flash toys? Then STFU.

Come on Idle, you soft-cock.

Exactly HOW MUCH of my production should you be able to take by VIOLENCE before you stop being the good guy ?

Cos I'd like to stop you and your lot using ANY violence. At least I can say I tried to stop it.

I dont think any of us want communisn,but socialism is rather different philosophy than that....
Im going to use the remaining few years of the capatalist system to buy all the tools i need to SURVIVE...
Plus if you owe money on everthing you own, is it really yours?

I'm sure you've got some stuff here that's worthy of debate. If you tone the abuse down a bit we could have a really good discussion.

Sadly, most people will lower themselves to the level of the opponent rather than the opponent raising up. I've all but given up saying anything with a hint of socialism behind it because all you get is the people who don't really follow politics and are only concerned with lowering taxes. Or you get the real hard nut righties that attack the person, not the issue. A good example is the typical school bully. After hearing a witty insult made against them, their automatic response; "... well... uhh... you're gay", followed by the laughter of their minions and themselves. And another example from this thread:

One of the most idiotic posts I've seen on this site.

I for one am building up the skills necessary to start my own business so I don't have to work for a boss. It's a dream really but I'm going to give it a shot. Start out with a day job and doing basic stuff out of the garage and hopefully work my way up into a full time business.

And I know not all bosses are dicks. My boss at work experience is a good bloke.
