Lol. Imagine if names still reflected jobs. You'd be a manly bouncer for a club in Louisiana or Savannah or maybe you'd be like Steve Irwin. Either if your name reflected your job it'd be pretty crazy.
I understand the concept that they are applying it is just that they are over-applying it and furthermore they are ignoring the havoc that it is causing around the world. It's like America lives at the top of a really big hill and it is on fire and instead of working to strategically put out the...
It's starting to look that way. The FED has inflated it with their QE programs quite enough and now they're decreasing interest in investing in the dollar by not raising interest rates while other Central Banks like the ECB already have. Then we have meetings like the one at Bretton Woods this...
Not really. Most people tend to put the 'interesting people' in the office. Which is ridiculous but it's just the way people are. Given the choice between a boring, old and slow talking man who is totally and probably overly qualified for the job and a sharp, well dressed, young and verbal man...
I think if given the regular crappy choices between republican and democrat, especially if we get someone like Chris Christie or Sarah Palin for the GOP, I would love a third choice of Donald Trump, I would most certainly vote Trump rather than Obama or Christie/Palin. Mainly because it would be...
Just because the brain is active in deep sleep does not mean that you are thinking. If your definition of thinking is that the brain is active then I see your fears. Meditation is not looking to shutdown your brain, that would be death.

So we've got a group of economists, politicians, philosophers, businessmen, journalists and probably reporters all in a room... Sounds like a revolution. The location is awesome. The last meeting there not affiliated with these...
I believe that's mostly true. I think they are all related to the same phenomenon and that the same ultimate truth can be found in all of them. It is, however, more prevalent in some rather than others. As far as calling them Yoga's... Yoga's are a 'union' of physical, psychological and...
Hey Revoltingest, right back at ya. It definitely seems so on the surface, but once you get them talking about the things they don't like about the free-market I find myself questioning why they don't support it because everything they don't like has NOTHING to do with the free-market! It's...
I will try to explain my idea of God as comprehensibly as possible.
As the creative force God is the single fluid action of creation. By this I mean that the idea that God created the universe and then never created anything else is preposterous because of the fact that creation is still...
How is that a straw man. Socialism calls for a controlled economy. That's a controlled economy. And I wrote that the way I wrote it because I was trying to allude to the fact that what the person was calling capitalist was actually socialism and what the person was calling socialism was actually...
I'll say this, and return to my backseat. In light of Bill-Gatin's most recent post... I would, if I were God, make a country where the federal system was predominantly capitalist and the local systems such as states and cities were predominantly socialists. This would allow the system to...
It was life-changing to say the least. I seen some very impoverished people. People rummaging through trash dumps in much the same way we rummage through Shopping Malls.I will, however, remember one thing about Haiti for the rest of my life, I seen people in shacks with things they'd gathered...
Well folks, after reading this thread over, I came to the conclusion that I have proven all I can prove on the initial matter at hand and that is that the problems the OP mentioned were not caused by the Capitalist system. I'd love to sit on here and debate socialism vs. capitalism all day but...
Well dear sir, who concurs with my statement yet depicts his agreement in a color which contrasts mine, thank you; for your rather untimely and strange agreement on a matter which was not entirely imperative to the discussion of this thread. But nevertheless, thank you.
