Microsoft and big companies like it who let 30-40 billion dollars sit in the bank, create recessions.
You know, Microsoft and others could be creating recessions on purpose to make the market hostile for the competition, did you ever think of that?
Just establish your monopolies, then sit on top, try to suck in as much money from the economy that you can, then hold it in a bank, when a recession begins to start and companies begin dropping like flies, you continue sucking more money into your bank.
Reccession happen not because companies dont pay taxes, its because companies arent spending.
Tax cuts wont make them spend, thats as pathetic as trying to give a dollar to everyone on earth to save the economy of the world.
Bush used it to get in office, thats it.
The solution to the recession isnt to do tax cut after tax cut, its to literally FORCE microsoft to spend its money, and not just Microsoft but AOL and all of these other companies which have monopolies or not enough competitition.
Economies do well during the most competitive periods, once monopolies establish themselves, its all over.
We need to outlaw monopolies, and control the size of companies, we should also make it illegal for companies to save more than a certain amount of money.
Microsoft should not be allowed to have 40 billion dollars sitting in the bank, that DOES have a HUGE impact on our economy, 40 billion dollars is biggger than the movie industry, the gaming industry, the airline industry combined.
Think about the effects this has on our economy, think about how many jobs 40 billion dollars would create, it would create hundreds of thousands if not millions of jobs!!!
Now think about all the other companies who have too much money sitting in the bank and all the jobs their money would create if they were FORCED to spend it.
Lack of food isnt why we dont feed them. Its not that we dont have the food to feed people on earth forever,
And with GM technologies, if we wanted to, we could grow giant sized veggies and use robots to do the farming work, and ship that over to all the third world countries.
The problem is, no one wants to feed the third world countries, it would require money to build the robots and create GM foods.
Thats what happens when you have alittle too much capitalism.
Capitalism and alot of people starve, or Socialism and no one ever starves.
Food has a price, and when the US dominates capitalism with big busineses (I think the size of companies should be limited as well as the scope, mergers should be illegal as well)
little companies cant compete with mcdonalds. companies in china cant create their own microsoft like company to make an OS.
If theres only pacifists theres nothing to protect us from!!
Its the non pacifists who create war, crime, hate and everything bad in the world.
Tell me, if you are a pacifist, and theres no hate in the world, whats going to kill you? The only thing you'd have to worry about are the natural elements, and the animals, and we've had that in check for thousands of years now and that has nothing to do with human nature, thats survival.
Violence in the name of self defensive = pacifism. I dont attack anyone, but if someone attacks me i'll defend myself. I think 99 percent of the population would defend themselves as well if in the same situation.
The diffrence is, a Pacifist is never the one ATTACKING.
Well Humans who act like animals are animals, alot of humans in fact the majority of them act like animals.
My definition of being human is someone whos enlightened. This is my personal definition.
Now, just because the majority of humans are animals and I truely believe the majority of humans act like a bunch of apes, pandas, bears and lions just like the rest of these animals.
Well, why should I lie to myself and pretend they are on my level when they just arent?
Any human who is willing to commit murder, whos willing to steal, rape, and exploit, they are no diffrent than a beast.
Does that mean you have the right to disrespect them? No. Does that mean you have the right to kill them? No.
You respect cavemen equally to how you respect enlightened men.
But this doesnt change the fact that I feel most of the people in this world are cavemen, You know its true, you hear about people killing each other every day, you see what goes on, you can live in denial, you can try to accept people you could never relate to, or you can accept the fact that you'll never understand them and they are apple and you are oranges and that you are two completely diffrent species of human.
They have traits which you dont have. You have trais which they dont have.
By this, I mean one group is naturally violent and self destructive, one group is naturally peaceful and loving.
Theres no in between here, so you have to take a side on this issue, either you are peaceful, or you arent.
We need to evolve, not just through technology but all around.
The problem with thhe current system is, we give technology to people who arent evolved enough to handle it, the creators of the technology are evolved usually, you dont see geeks lining up to go to war.
The problem is, geek dont run the government, geeks dont make up the majority, so what you have is like 5 percent of the population creating all the technology thats fine for this perfect of the enlightened population, but the rest of the population just arent ready for it.
People like george bush the president, hes not ready for cloning or nano technology.
We can define it by how much of an animal you are.
Or we can define it by how enlightened you are.
Most people would choose to define being human, by an enlightened picture of buddha, jesus christ, or any of these men, most people do not want to assosiate being human with hitler, bin laden, and those men.
I consider myself better than everyone whos dead. I consider myself better than sperm which didnt make it into the womb.
I consider myself better than murderers and haters.
Not all humans are equal, i wish it could be that way but its not, humans who harm others along with the enviornment, arent as valueable to that enviornment or to others.
Do you value your best friend, an a random asshole, on an equal level? PLEASE!
There is a such thing as quality of character, some people are good people, some people just arent.
I feel sorry for people who have such problems, and YES THEY DO have a problem. I'd try to help them if they asked for it, its not that I think I'm better, I have problems too, the diffrence, my problems arent as great as theirs, so who do people want to be around, hitler? charles manson? or me?
If you do evolve morally, and ever share it, people kill you. Every single person who is a moral genius, they seem to get killed, and its because just like in the times when jesus was killed, the bad still outnumber the good. The morally ignorant still outnumber the moral geniuses and until the balance shifts, and the pacifists or whatever the hell you want to call them outnumber the war loving hate loving idiots, well, the worlds headed for self destruction.
When you have a war filled with people who love to hate and who love war, these people will hate anything and that includes themselves, they will have war with themselves until they destroy themselves.
No, Hitler wasnt evolved. He didnt try to evolve non arayans, he wanted to "KILL" them.
Hows he evolved when hes the one getting violent? Attacking people shows weakness and instability.
Arrogance? Its not about being arrogant, if you want to be like that, fine everyone whos ever been a monk, every profit, ghandi, jesus, muhammed, buddha, all of them were arrogent.
Do you know why? Because they said the same stuff I'm saying, PEOPLE need to evolve, they need to seek enlightnment.
I'm not hitler, I'm not going to kill you because you arent on my level, Killing you is killing myself, because we are all human and we are one.
Its my responsibility to at least attempt to wake people up and get people to at least attempt to improve themselves.
Improve yourself, constantly, all your life, enlighten yourself. If you have ever attacked or bullied a person, its YOU who need enlightenment, learn to not be so unstable.
Look, its not my job to understand people who i cannot relate to, but i can tell them what they are doing wrong even if i dont understand why they do it.
Why do people murder? I dont fucking know, but i do know its wrong and i can tell you why.
I'm not arrogant, i'm trying to help, it seems everyone who tries to help, gets killed by some guys who call them arrogant.
Survival of the fittest isnt the way evolution works on the greater scale.
We arent the fittest creature on earth, the roach is.
Its survival of the strongest, not the fittest! The fittest are often people like jesus christ, peace making types who if they ran the world, we'd have no wars and would survive alot longer, than if stronger but more self destructive types who love war survive.
You see, people who dare to think out of the box, who may be evolved on the emotional level, they are considered weak because cavemen are more violent.
vegitarians have a valid point however, people need protien, you NEED meat, when we have the technology to create meat in a lab or via nano technology, then vegitarians will win.
We are almost at the point where eating real point will be pointless, but not quite yet. Atheletes cant really play sports eating soy.
I agree with vegitarians, but in terms of killing for food, its survival for some, especially atheletes who have to eat meat to be an athelete and do what they do to survive.
Its not the same with dealing with humans, theres enough alternatives to war with humans that war isnt needed. For a boxer like mike tyson theres no way hes going to knock out lennox lewis unless he eats a steak and patatoes meal every night.
Its not about reasoning, its about enlightenment, any enlightened or evolved person knows its bad to harm yourself, to be on that level you have to know we are all one, we arent seperate, what you do to your neighbor you are also doing to yourself.
When you realize this you understand why terrorists like bin laden exsist, we created them through the process of wars with russia and iraq.
When people get into wars, it creates hate which creates more wars.
Its a cycle which only increases, in programming terms think of a loop with +1
Huh? Yes I am more evolved than Bin Laden, Charles Manson, Hitler, come on you think these guys are on my level? Maybe you can relate to them but i cant.
Physical evolution is not where I've evolved, its my mental and emotional evolution that you forget to take into account.
I'm not perfect, but i believe i'm better for the world than these guys I mentioned.
A. Its not arrogance to see that by harming no one, you are better for the world than those who harm everyone.
B. Pacifism leads to utopia, its the only way to get there, and the goal of every society is to reach this. Betraying is a moral issue, because I dont betray people, exploit people or harm anyone, if everyone else were like me also, we'd have world peace.
Not just that, the fact that it seems the majority of the people on earth want to destroy it, correct your math to assume that 70% of the world loves war and destruction.
Every single terrible technology that has exsisted h as been used at least once.
Its time we evolve to the next level, the level above war. Imagine us going into space having space wars.
Do you know why aliens will never make contact with us? Who would make contact with a species thats so unstable and suicidal that its busy killing itself, hell if aliens want to enslave of they can just incite a war.
IF we dare go into space with this destructive war like nature, (if we make it into space before killing ourselves) expect planets to be blown up, and expect all hell to break loose.

And the truth about the USA is, it wasnt built by capitalism, it was built by slavery
COMMUNISM built the USA!!! Yet capitalism takes all the credit.
Its kinda funny how the USA is built off of Communism, yet everyone expects to be able to build a country from capitalism when its never been done.
NEVER. Every capitalist country was built from slavery, including england and australia.
The good thing about Communism and Socialism, success is shared.
If theres a bill gates in your country, everyone lives better not just bill gates.
If we were communism, or socialism, we'd all be living better for this reason
People would still need us to buy their software from, their computers from, windows would still sell.
Instead of 60 billion being in the hands of bill gates and 40 billion in the hands of microsoft.
This money would be more evenly distributed.
Capitalism is just not going to be useful after we get to a point technology wise
Tell me what good capitalism is, when theres no jobs left? Once we have robots and nano technology, what labor can the average person do?
Prepare for collapse unless everyone wakes up tomorrow as a scientist
Food has a price.
Thats what happens when you have alittle too much capitalism.
Capitalism and alot of people starve, or Socialism and no one ever starves.
Food has a price, and when the US dominates capitalism with big busineses (I think the size of companies should be limited as well as the scope, mergers should be illegal as well)
little companies cant compete with mcdonalds. companies in china cant create their own microsoft like company to make an OS.
You see?
Right now our capitalism rewards big companies instead of small ones.
Many small companies are better for the economy, than a few big ones who consume all the resources and dont give back.
Small companies have to give back through competition because if they dont another small company is right there to take their place.
Big companies however are bad for capitalism. Monopolies especially.
Then you could feed the hungry.
Capitalism is not about equal distribution of wealth.
Freedom has nothing to do with wealth.
Its about control of resources, using capitalism, the rich control the resources even if the resources are unlimited.
You could use 40 billion to build robots, nano technology and GM foods which would make feeding the hungry an easy task.
Robots would grow GM foods, then the GM foods would be gathered up and distributed.
Distribution would cost alot of money but 40 billion is enough to do it.
Its not hard to use if its easy to look at.
Let a person compare OSX to Windows 95.
You can attack, learn to defend, or join forces.
Because I refuse to assosiate myself with predetors.
Yes alot of people are like that, some people have evolved past that.
I dont have those instincts, some people do, who will win?
Fact is not every human has the same instincts, it starts off the same, everyone knows how to crawl, drink milk and speak, but thats about it.
write the script and call it a movie. Then send it to george lucus
Protect them from what?
If theres only pacifists theres nothing to protect us from!!
