<0> nah i aint deaf
<1> They are never referred to as that in our news reports.
<2> yes u r
<0> i will just live with the white people that have been kind to me
<3> "Welcome to Corporate America. The land where the government gives welfare to Airlines, Banks and behemoth Gas companies, but refuses to help the children of the unemployed, becuase that would be "communist"."
<4> roygbiv: That's because Australians are more sympathetic to guys like Molotov.
<0> black people have been kind to me and those will be spared=)
<4> ganic must be unemployed. Or, more accurately, unemployable.
<3> MrRod, yes, McDs would not hire me as I am a complete imbecile
<0> everyone talks about the constitution but no one does **** about it
<4> ganic: Nah, they might hire you but I doubt you would work there.
<3> MrRod, thus I have been forced into a life of panhandling
<1> No one forces you to do anything.
<4> ganic: By your own hand.
<4> ganic: Ever consider moving to Australia?
<1> Hehe
<2> I believe it. He seems imbecilic
<3> MrRod, well I was planning on swimming there
<0> why move\?
<1> You could write a book on how you swarm from the US to Australia.
<1> And make millions.
<1> swam.
<0> why should i move because of you?
<2> "swarm" could be accurate
<4> ganic: Take a plane.
<4> My cat is getting in trouble.
<1> According to the OECD Australia has the most unregulated economy in the world, although we also have the highest unemployment benefits. :P
<1> I should have said, most unregulated in the OECD.
<4> What's the OECD?
<4> Australia and New Zealand?
<2> Rusty's real name is "Dances with Children"
<1> Organisation of economic cooperation and development. It's the group that covers all of the industrialised countries (first world).
<3> MrRod, Organizatio of Economic Cooperation and Development
<3> MrRod, but hey what I would I know as a silly panhandler
<1> New Zealand was close, but I didn't see their number.
<3> MrRod, I defer to your genius
<5> Every time I hear someone say, "I support freedom of speech, BUT..." I want to tear my hair out.
<5> And then their head, off.
<4> ganic: I don't believe you're a panhandler. A perpetual student living off the public trough, absolutely.
<6> I support freedom of speech, but...
<1> I support it, however.
<3> MrRod, yes, I hide in my Ivory Tower afraid to see the real world
<1> People have to know that there are consequences. :)
<5> If you support freedom of speech, then but nothing. You support it. If you have to qualify it, you don't.
<1> Though if it's speech, those consequences should never entail violence.
<4> roygbiv: Like what? Someone shooting you because he doesn't like what you said?
<2> we all defer to MrRod's genius
<1> MrRod, well, if you libel or slander someone (especially a rich corporate someone) you're going to get bankrupted and have your *** thrown in the clink.
<4> There are always qualifications. It's not a black and white world.
<5> Now that a Canadian magazine dredged up the stones to publish the Danish cartoons, all I'm hearing from our spineless leaders is "Yeah, freedom of speech. Great. BUT..."
<1> But you shouldn't expect to be hit or petrol bombed by them. <:)
<6> Well, but you might. :)
<4> roygbiv: That may be true in Australia but those laws are not as strict in the US. You can say more.
<2> ".... BUT, if it's a Muslim who's offended you have no freedom"
<6> I think this conversation is a re-run.
<1> MrRod, yeah, our libel laws are pretty tight. Even saying something like "I wish so and so was shot in the head" can potentially get you prosecuted and spirited away under the new terrorism laws. :P
<2> it's PC silliness
<3> MrRod, exxon mobile is the most profitable company in history, clearly they need my tax dollars to survive
<1> ganic, maybe you can do a cookie drive for them?
<0> oh my god
<0> you guys
<3> roygbiv, yes, the GOP does not give them enough pork
<0> they are talking that this case against Saddam will take upto 8 months
<0> then there is 11-12 other cases
<1> Whatever happened to the case against Milosevich?
<0> all of them 8-12 months long
<6> good question
<2> that wil drag on forever
<0> Roy he is guilty
<7> http://www.swarmfarm.com/dtr1f <- Does anybody know what this is?
<5> Just once I'd like to see a western leader stand up and say, "We support freedom of speech in this country. Period. If you can't handle being offended, then you're in the wrong civilization. Now piss off and the next car you torch will be the one that gets you twenty years in the can."
<1> Has he been sentanced?
<2> that's why Saddam wasn't sent to The Hague
<0> he has been put away
<3> roygbiv, I think if the GOP worried less about the fraction of 1% of our federal budget that is the welfare system and more about the trillions of dollars of US tax dollars and public resources taken by business every year that their platform would probably get some more support
<0> he has been found guilty of genocide
<2> they took to long with Sloppydan
<6> Milosevich only killed Muslims though.
<4> A newspaper may have the "stones" to run a Holocaust Humor column every week and poke fun at overworked Jews being thrown into ovens but, really, what's the point other than showing that you have the right to insult a group of people?
<2> *too
<0> but he will stand trial for everything he has done
<0> every charge
<2> newspapers do that weekly
<0> there are like 122 charges against him
<6> Milosevich mostly killed Muslims -- he killed some Croats too I suppose...
<0> he has been found guilty of the first 5
<3> roygbiv, I notice conservatives complain about those who use welfare services but ignore the comparitively much larger subsidies to corporations for the rich. How does a single mother on food stamps compare in cost to a corporation receiving billions of dollars in government subsidies?
<0> he shoud be taken out back and shot
<1> I wonder what the world would be like with no religion. Would it be just as violent.
<0> but then?
<6> Imagine there's no heaven...
<0> we would be just like him
<1> I guess it depends on what replaced religion.
<4> ganic: In general an individual on welfare adds nothing to the economy. Corporations are important to the nation's economy.
<6> Humans would invent something else to kill each other over.
<3> roygbiv, Corporate Welfare for the sugar industry cost Americans $1.7 trillion over 10yrs http://www.reclaimdemocracy.org/articles_2005/sugar_industry_subsidies.php
<0> I think he shoud be relegated to picking beans in California
<8> Yeah, those welfare people should dry up and die.
<1> If rational thought and philosophy replaced religion, then perhaps the world would be a more interesting and peaceful place.
<6> I figure eventually the planet gets populated to m***ive levels, at which point we kill each other over fresh water supplies.
<2> they really should
<0> Tjats si op
<6> I think war over religion is a temporary situation, until the real 'war for survival' kicks in.
<3> MrRod, yes, it is not like anyone on welfare feeds their kids or recovers from a disability to reenter the workforce
<9> Abusive Domain or User
<2> if "welfare people" did dry up and die, hypothetically -- it wasn't anyone else's responsibility
<1> ganic, I agree with you, but I guess it's the way the economy is structured. They subsidize the companies who can then create jobs and keep people occupied. If the money went directly to the unemployed there would be less subsidized employment, more unemployment and more people just sitting around not contributing anything to the economy.
<4> ganic: Everyone has a different situation. Someone who is disabled is supported by insurance benefits, not welfare.
<0> heheh the eskimos had a cool deal with dealing with there criminals
<0> indians too
<0> they would treat the other person as if they were dead
<3> MrRod, Corporate Welfare is merely a way to redistribute wealth to the richest corporate shareholders from the public treasury
<0> turn their backs
<10> http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-02/15/content_4182943.htm
<4> ganic: I never got a job from poor man.
<3> MrRod, how many of the working poor do you know who get disability insurance?
<0> ganic?
<0> uhmmm
<6> War in Darfur -- war over religion. But really underlying that is war for survival as desert pushes the nomads into the settled areas. To survive they wipe out existing population.
<0> lots
<3> roygbiv, Corporate Welfare for the sugar industry cost Americans $1.7 trillion over 10yrs http://www.reclaimdemocracy.org/articles_2005/sugar_industry_subsidies.php
<4> ganic: Quite frankly, I don't mix well with poor people. I'd rather they not move into my neighborhood.
<11> Have you seen the movie Proof?
<11> Whatever you do .. don't miss it!!!!
<4> CometBaby: I saw Pi. Close?
<11> Just finished it .. it took my breath away
<1> Corporate subsidies are as necessary as public health & education, but there is always the possibility of excess or inefficiently allocated subsidies which could always be retargeted to stimulate other parts of the economy.
<0> if you want i will wake up my wife and she will explain to your the game of State subsidized insurance
<3> MrRod, i am sick of my tax dollars being wasted on misguided military adventurism abroad and corporate welfare at home
<6> Rich people and poor people are both whiney complainers. Both the rich and the poor have too much time to complain. Middle-cl*** is just stuck at work all day.
<11> MR I didn't see Pi .. this is incredible.
<4> ganic: They tend to be loud, rude and have little respect for other people or their property.
<0> ganic lay off mr rod now its obvious you have overstepped your bounds here
<11> without a doubt the best movie I have seen in years
<3> roygbiv, Corporate subsidies are a way to skew the market in favor of big companies away from small business
<11> its not silly
<4> ganic: Are you implying you pay taxes?
<11> its a serious movie and I loved it
<0> hahah MrRod=)
<3> roygbiv, why do you want to destroy small businesses?
<1> Small businesses do have access to a lot of tax breaks and grants.
<6> yeah, well, that's 'public private cooperation' -- money and laws for the big businesses.
<4> CometBaby: I bought an orchid. I caught my cat eating it.
<1> ganic, I don't know, I guess I'm evil. :P
<1> duh.
<0> MrRod????
<3> roygbiv, not as many as corporations
<0> are Orchids cool?
<3> roygbiv, many corporations hide ***ets in tax havens overseas
<0> i see them all the time
