I actually just thought of something. Pretty much Everytime you see some kind of Zombie movie or TV show the society that the survival irs live in is pretty much an Anarchist-communist society. No real established hierarchy and direct democracy for most decisions. Resources and food distributed equally among the people. Decisions made are for the good of the group. Etc. Maybe you guys should start rooting for this Ebola thing to pan out and effect the world Walking Dead style?

 

Just a thought.

 

@SPND: One of the problems I have with your political stance is that it's mostly rooted in works that were written well over 100 years ago which hold little relevance to today's world. The majority of the world's population lived in rural areas and practiced agriculture. And cities were far worse than they are now in regards to wealth inequality and living conditions. Most people worked with their hands and mindless physical labor was the norm

 

So basically what I'm asking is if you could point me in the direction of some more contemporary writings on the subject that actually apply the views and concepts to the modern world.

I already am hoping for this ebola thing to pan out.

I've always admired your optimism.

[gtamann123]

It was a good reply but like I just said I'm really trying to limit the amount of time I spend thinking about sh*t like this. So I'm just going to stop arguing about it.

Footnote, capitalism is like 300 years old son.

And? Was life so much better under Feudalism? I'm not a smart man but from what I understand Feudal society was even more class and heredity based.

 

I just don't see any viable workable alternative to capitalism. Not until technology has evolved to the point where we can all have personal assistant robots who are capable of doing everything and making everything and human labor is no longer needed. Then we could have a gift economy. But that's not viable right now

 

That's all I will say

[Mr. House]

My point being that economic systems evolve with time. Had you done the amount of research you claim you would have come across this.

[gtamann123]

I was aware that capitalism was a relatively new thing. At what point did I say it had been around since the dawn of man?

 

Social and economic class has existed since pretty much the the beginning of man after we crawled out of the hunter gathered phase but it wasn't really what we would consider capitalism.

I'm pretty bummed right now. So I just got back from the dermatologist and he looked at the mole I wanted removed and told me it wouldn't be worth the surgery. He said it would likely leave a big scar and the insurance wouldn't cover it since it's a cosmetic surgery. I guess the location (upper cheek) is a risky location for mole removal. Well f*ck...I've been patiently waiting for this appointment since July, only to sit in there for 2 minutes, have him quickly look at it and tell me that. He barely even glanced at it. Appearance wise, that mole is the one thing keeping me from being a happy, confident 17 year old. I was so looking forward to getting it removed and improving my self esteem, and possibly being able to talk to girls. I had it all planned out, its what's kept me living these past few months, knowing I could improve myself and everything. I guess I'll just continue being an ugly piece of sh*t for the rest of my life

 

I wonder if there's a way I could cover it up with some sort of make up, or at least lighten it...any tips? Cause as you can tell, it really f*cks with my confidence.

I don't really think it matters as much as you think. If you have one mole on your cheek females might actually find it cute or something.

Yeah I know I sound like i'm over reacting, and I probably am, but it just makes me super self conscious. I was hoping i'd be able to get rid of it, but I guess not. I mean my ex girlfriend said it was cute and that it made me who I am and not to ever change, but she probably didn't mean it, cause when you're in love you get blinded and don't notice imperfections. Whatever though, it's here to stay sadly so there's no use in getting too upset.

You can cut your own mole if you want, i got one on the side of my nose (looked like a sidetit) and cut that sucker, i prefer to have a scar than a mole.

And stop being a drama queen, a mole doesn't ruin your face.

No marijuana or cocaine , just some uppers.

And some herbs to improve lucid dreaming, and maybe some psychedelics.

Wait...what? What the f*ck is going on in here?

[Xavierr]

Drugs.? This lady on another website got at me for wanting to grow or garden of my personal psychoactives, she thought I was a pothead when I'm not.

[trip]

Pot is a psychedelic. I'm no scientist but I'm willing to bet it is one of the lower psychoactives. Trust me - I'm all for psychotropic fun and all.

 

I don't think it is the pot that makes a pothead a pothead.

Me and my cousin were talking about this like a week ago. It's not a matter of the pot itself making folks lazy, but rather their attitude and belief that the world owes them and they're entitled to sit at home, light one up, and watch repeats of "Welcome Back Kotter".

[gtamann123]

Agree. People can smoke pot and be fine and function normally in life. It's the people that become addicted and let Marijuana consume every single aspect of their lives and determine everything they do that are potheads.

Oh no, I don't plan on taking it that far. I just want the buzz( from herbs that aren't marijuana) and hallucinations ( not from acid or anything that'll show up on a drug test)from time to time to keep my life in perspective.

 

I don't like my sober mind , I get too caught up in my thoughts sometimes....

 

But I'm really trying to avoid marijuana since I'm joining military soon.

Want a thrill that won't last? You should give this a try:

 

 

One hard whiff of it and the insides of my nose are twisting like a knot and I can feel it in the back of my eyeballs.

[gtamann123]

I've known people who are high so often they actually forgot what it feels like to be sober. Being high is basically their normal state.

 

And I know this one guy who smoked 5 or 6 blunts a day but misbudgeted and ran out of money early one week and had to go two days without smoking before he could get some money to buy some more bud and went crazy. Like started having panic attacks and complained that it felt like he had some kind of worm in his stomach eating him from the inside out.

 

It's experiences like these that make me distrust weed and skeptical when people say it's harmless or non addictive. Which is why I am so pissed at myself for smoking that one time with my cousin earlier this month after being sober of it since December of 2013.

Yeah, I've known a few people who have gone overboard with weed. I mean, me and my closer friends enjoy the occasional toke, but some of my other acquaintances are all day every day smokers. I think that ruins the novelty of it, when you're high all the time wheres the fun in it? One of my stoner friends got kicked out of his house once he turned 18, and I guess he was left $20,000 from some dead relative and his parents gave him that and told him to put it to good use and find a place to live. Well he lives in his car now, he spent the majority of the cash on weed and munchies (and gas for his car of course). He blew it all in the span of a month or two. I mean, you just can't let it consume your life...I see nothing wrong with smoking once or twice a week though as a reward for a hard day's work, just like a beer or two after work can be nice.

[gtamann123]

Yeah I agree completely its alright to indulge every now and then like on the weekend or a few times a month. But if you smoke every single day and have close friends or family members who can't remember the last time they saw you when you weren't high you have a serious problem. I guess I personally don't get the appeal of being high 24/7 as well. Yeah Toking up and being high for a few hours with some mates can be a fun experience but smoking and getting high alone in the morning and then continuing to smoke mutiple times a day so you basically go sunup until sundown while high is just retarded and pointless. You miss out on a lot of the fine details in life and you are basically a zombie. And plus I'm pretty sure getting high everyday would just numb you down to it to a point where being high was no longer enjoyable or pleasurable. It just makes no sense overall why anyone would make Marijuana a daily activity and want to be under the influence of it every waking moment of their life.

well I had Trig and Pre calc in the same class. It'll (probably) prepare you for actual calculus. Because we all know how many professional careers require calculus

Yeah I know what you're saying. Sometimes being high makes me appreciate being sober more. I mean I wouldn't want high to be my permanent state of mind, I get too stupid and have no short term memory, plus I get crazy paranoia sometimes. Nothing against smoking, but I will never be a serious stoner. I just don't enjoy it enough to get hooked. I kinda like alcohol better, but that's not a good thing either...actually it's way worse. I gotta try to stay away from it to avoid the route my uncles have taken.
