I would love to be in an Authoritarian State, if, I am the KING...... Someone like Calicula.
Ahh!!!! all the Asses and Virgins...

Yes, I may have a little problem. But don't be jealous, man, just because mine is bigger than yours. I can't help it, I was born that way.
Ooh, but thanks for reminding me how close I am to my 2k post... Time to start planning the boobs thread.
What do you guys think about an "Interesting" boobs theme? I've done asses and Asians so far, and there's no point doing just pure quality anymore that Learningcurve's threads are continuously bumped up...
It's cool man. I forgive you. It is an entertaining thread at least, especially after me fighting on the side of Capitalism all week over in this thread. At first I thought you were totally being sarcastic then it got more funny from there...
Calicula? Is that like a Roman Vampire?
;p (Coudn't resist)
I was mostly being a dick. But what I was referring to was the ramblings you mentioned. They are contradictory to your other political views.
Again, i was mostly being a dick, and half of it was directed at the OP, as you can see by the clarification I requested. You even called him out on being like most ignorant people who don't know what socialism and communism are, and just use it as an insult.
That's cool, brah.
I find it interesting that I can be so capitalistic in nature about most everything but when it comes to the one topic of education, I become authoritarian at heart... The reason for this is is that every problem known to mankind stems from easily-but-almost-never-avoided problems we have with education. (Especially parenting.)
I personally want those problems solved first and foremost and feel the world would be unimaginably better off for it, but I am enough of a realist to see that there would be major downsides (like loss of freedom, etc) to attempt to bring it to be so. So I'm certainly not campaigning for such changes.
One of the best quotes I have ever read, it speaks volumes about our society. The problem is our education system was setup by the elite to churn out good little worker bee's
Actually, the solution to the problem you mention is the opposite to what you propose.
I think this goes back to the argument of freedom vs regulation. Freedom says 'no one knows what is best, therefore, each one should choose, so long as they don't hurt another adult without consent'
Basically, the best thing that can happen to education is de-regulation. More regulation would just mean a different group of assholes telling everyone what is right and wrong. The thing that is wrong isn't what is wrong, but people wanting to tell other people what is right and wrong.
And I am a big capitalist. But I don't think it is the only viable option. Just the option that is working now.
I believe all laws should have an expiration date of no more than a few years. That way crappy laws are constantly going down and have to be substituted with new crappy laws all the time. That should make creating a police state very difficult. Also, a maximum of a few dozen federal laws, everything should be state.
But what have I proposed? Look at my very last words in the preceding post...
It's just like over in the politics thread I say I like one thing socialism has brought about (awesome UK healthcare) and boom fifty capitalist around here feel betrayed and start accusing me of being an authoritarian commie.
It's enough to make me want to stay out of these discussions... I choose my words carefully but ppl read what they want to hear regardless.
Well that route is unproven, but I believe you are right.
Especially with the Net and social networkings' convergence. Check out Piazza and kno for an idea of how your kids can learn better online than they can in a classroom.
...Charge money for these 'schools' and boom, that's capitalism at work.
Not a bad little idea, that. Never heard it before.
However, I'd rather just have every law open to being voted down at any time WITHOUT representation, directly by the people... That would be the shiznit if we could somehow have a trusted computer system to replace congress with... But of course you need an educated public to vote on things first.
Fuck it; No single country could ever do anything right... I'm just jetting off to whatever country is friendly to my biz & interests at the time.
What did you hope for with this post?
An angry mob marching to his house and destorying him. I would join that, I mean is it too late to organise this a lynching at this time of night?

You proposed more regulation. I got this from your post. The part that says:
Call me crazy, but this sounds like you are in favor of more/different regulation in the educational arena. So I argued based on what you wrote.
This is the perfect example of why I accused you of being in-congruent in your posts. First you say you want regulation, when arguments against it come up, you say you aren't necessarily in favor of it, and can't seem to get how we could have possibly read into your posts that way.
I understand your real life stance might not be in-congruent, but your posts certainly seem that way. Which is also why I said not to judge you by your posts, they are likely coming off that way because they are not well thought out.
I will say I like the idea of voting down laws without representation. The internet era enables us to be able to do this. It would be awesome to see it put in practice.
P.S. I also knew you were going to want regulation for education because of how you started your sentence. Whenever people say "I want this problem solved" they generally mean "I want laws put in place to make me feel like life's problems are solved". The reason being, there is no solution to anything. Just a bunch of different options, each with pros and cos, but in my mind, in almost every case, the option of freedom has the least pitfalls.
There's no difference between a Socialist country and a Communist country; the only difference between Socialism and Communism is the means by which power is gained.
People Like lukep can never admit to what they are, whether it be democrat,progressive,liberal,socialist,communist,blue dogs,RINO or whatever bullshit title they invent every time people catch on to what they are....
and they all hate fox news, and love Keith Olbermann, John Stewart, and think Obama is a Celebrity. and i will get flamed for making an assumption that isn't true by said peoples

You're crazy. Or at least you see intention to act where only preferences exist.
Intentions to act words:
*Regulation
*Change the laws
*Pro-obamacare
*Reform
My words:
*At heart but...
*major downsides
*Not campaigning
WTF?
Not true. You may think I want regulation, but I certainly have not said so nor called for it.
This is the whole problem, i'm afraid. You're misunderstanding my intentions, and you're not alone. Obviously stick2herbs, jonasBrother, and samgeneric are in the same boat.
Very true. I still don't get it... But I'm seeing more and more capitalists coming out of the woodwork to take me on so I am sensing the pattern here... At least you're not alone.
Or not well read?
The only hypothosis I have for you guys feeling like I'm some sort of commie in uncle sam's clothing is that you read me saying that something (like the PRODUCT of socialized medicine) is good, and take that to mean that I want socialized medicine itself here.
Nothing can be further from the truth. I see huge drawbacks to obamacare especially and frankly any socialized medicine being introduced to... wait for it... ANY Capitalist country.
Because capitalism-socialism hybrids suck.
There are huge benefits to socialism. (Face it, they exist.)
AND AND AND
There are huge benefits to Capitalism, too. -But of course we don't have those here because we're stuck in a sucky hybrid system.
So for the umpteeth time I'll say: In America we need more Capitalism.
I see no incongruent statements here at all... Only people who cannot follow this perfect logic.
Mine too. You're assuming too much. See above for why & how.
Yeah, it's a fun thought but I shudder to think of the things this current citizenry would actually vote for without taking the time to learn about each side of every issue. -It's scary to say but perhaps that could turn out worse!
(Until we have some major education progress)
Hop in the fray then, PJ! Let 'er rip, I can take it...
Jonas, I'll accept your apology as soon as you're done reading my outstanding defense of capitalism I pointed you at in the last thread.
I apologize..... socialism can work but I think you eventually need to make that transition into capitalism such UK CA AU contries that are well off.... lesser developed countries can thrive quicker i think in a more socialized environment
