  1. Potlatch was a better economic system than capitalism and socialism.
  2. Exterminating and enslaving indigenous populations, too often, were the reality behind what capitalists liked to call combating laziness and trade.
  3. Bribing presidents, prime ministers or ministers is a more lucrative way to get assets and natural resources from other countries.
  4. Capitalism is about owning/controlling assets.
  5. If only USA would have a decent prescription drugs universal plan, people would not go on the street to buy painkillers from a cartel of gangsters.
  6. Trade has more to do with mercantilism than with capitalism.
  7. To be teleological or not to be.
  8. If the Germans would have had a more direct access than England to the New World, we would write in German on this forum.
  9. Yes. Having a direct access to the Atlantic Ocean explains almost every aspects of contemporary history since May 29, 1453 (The Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks).
  10. The second world war was in fact the second part of the first world war.
  11. Avoiding dangers is an intention that biologists cannot avoid to illegitimately project unto life forms.
  12. Actually Paul is the common source and Jesus is the only source of Paul: For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. (Paul, 2 Thessalonians 3:10) Jesus said. "Look at the birds of the air. They neither sew nor reap nor gather into barns but your heavenly Father takes care of them. Are you not more valuable than them?" (Matthew 6:25)
  13. One believes in creation only because he reads literally the words written in the Bible: http://books.google.com/books?id=je702bo2P...=4#PRA1-PA85,M1
  14. Communist motto was: he who does not work, neither shall he eat. Capitalist motto is more like: own something (and retire at 55).
  15. We are all consumers competing against one another for the accessibility of cheap products. People feel the need to take drugs when this competition becomes too ruthless.
  16. People cannot socialize together if they conceive freedom in terms of walls or enclosures in between them.
  17. Revenge, of course.
  18. Considering the ease with which capitalism penetrates and disturbs every cultures worldwide, we have to say that this economic system is somehow a meaningless truth. http://books.google.com/books?id=je702bo2P...=4#PRA1-PA81,M1
  19. What is criminal is to produce pot without compensating all the people who would benefit more if what is used to produce pot (the soil for instance) would be used to produce something else than pot (food or fuel for instance).
  20. It seems indeed that weaning someone of pot is too quick and easy to make pot production and consumption a crime.
  21. Fascism is an extreme form of socialism. Fascism conceives society as an organism with a head and a lot of other organs and where all these other organs strangely enjoy sacrificing their freedoms to the totalitarian authority of this head.
