$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Serial_Worrier', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Novus', 'P')rogress would be no waiting line in the medical office and affordable doctors.

The good ole days were before greed controlled every facet of our lives. A Christmas without gifts would be amazing and wonderful.


No waiting lines? haha - what do you think happens with socialist healthcare?


Socialist health care is better than no health care, which is exactly what a lot of people receive under capitalist health care.

Human body has many vulnerable points... 3rd vertebrae of the neck, windpipe, etc. A single proper strike on one of those is fatal. Maybe people need to learn how to respond to someone grabbing them and trying to push them down.

Someone tries to inflict violent force on me, I won't care if they are a thug, a cop, Jesus Christ or the Pope---they will have their neck snapped and fall to the ground dead. I won't bother trying to hurt them or incapacitate them. I will defend my self with deadly force, and will only take a second or two.

Armed bystanders should respond when police get out of hand, and if someone goes to trial for defending themselves against police brutality, then Jury Nullification should be used to render a Not Guilty verdict.

On another note, I think things like Black Friday are idiotic and I refuse to participate in such mass stupidity. If there is ever a recording made of such things that somehow survives for thousands of years and there are archaeologists left to view it, they will probably conclude that we had a very worthless and unredeemable society.
An ideology is by definition not a search for TRUTH-but a search for PROOF that its point of view is right

Equals barter and negotiate-people with power just take

You cant defend freedom by eliminating it-unknown

Our elected reps should wear sponsor patches on their suits so we know who they represent-like Nascar-Roy

Does anyone remember the "Tickle Me ElmO" toy, that everyone just had to have? The media circus was roaring then, why should it be any different now?

The Elite Plan for a New World Social Order
http://nwoobserver.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/the-elite-plan-for-a-new-world-social-order/#more-9296

"In the post-capitalist world, the capitalist virtues will be demonised. This will be very important, in getting people to accept poverty and regimentation…

The pursuit of money is the root of all evil, and the capitalist system was inherently corrupt and wasteful. Anarchy reined in the marketplace, as corporations blindly pursued profit, with no concern for human needs or for the Earth. How much more sensible are our production brigades, producing only what is needed, and using only what is sustainable. Capitalism encouraged greed and consumption; people struggled to compete with one another, to ‘get ahead’ in the rat race. How much wiser we are now, to live within our ration quotas, and to accept our assigned duties, whatever they might be, in service to humanity.
