moron, congress can simply pass a law which contradicts the 2010 decision
this is not shariah law where the supreme court's rulings carry biblical weight. it's checks and balances. the supremes clearly fucked up, and their decision should be rendered moot
spelling/ punctuation/ grammar nazis are useless topic derailing turds as it is, but you've reached a special level of turdliness: the desire to exert an authority you don't possess about crap no one cares about... AND you are wrong
i was going to mention sanders, but i wanted to soft pedal it
there's still a knee jerk reaction to the word "socialism" in the usa that is something out of 1950s era joe mccarthy red scare hysteria
even though actual socialism: germany, denmark, canada, etc., simply means affordable healthcare and higher education. socialist countries are richer, happier, and freer than the usa (yes, freer: their representatives aren't purchased by plutocrats)
but if you say "socialism" to a moron of the american variety, they think communism. gulags and long lines for toilet paper
this is how you keep slaves: bury them in ignorant propaganda
there is a mistaken notion that you have to devise a perfect solution to the problem before improving the problem
for example: we have laws against rape and murder. that doesn't stop all rape and murder, but no one is arguing that, just because we can't stop all rape and murder, we shouldn't have any laws against them. but we do have morons arguing that because we can't magically stop all corruption, we shouldn't try to minimize it
the point is to simply minimize the problem. the simple fact is that many nations do better than the usa in regards to controlling corruption and plutocrat interest. with very simple changes (simple in construct, i didn't say simple to achieve). for example: we pass laws that cut down on the election cycle funding by corporations and plutocrats. i'd argue the most destructive event against the usa, in it's entire history, worse than 9/11, worse than pearl harbor, even worse than the civil war, is the 2010 citizens' united decision. let's start by reversing that
a lot of whining at this point about how that's hard. because the right thing is hard to do is an argument against doing it? anything worth doing in this world is hard by definition. if it were easy, it would already be done. this is just lazy whiners
elect people that would promise to reverse citizen's united. i'm not saying it's going to happen in 2016. but every day people grow angrier and more aware of the problem. look at the interest in trump and sanders. these "protest votes" would usually fade by now in previous cycles. but people are really getting mad. at some point, a tipping point will be reached. this problem isn't going away, and is getting worse. not enough people are paying attention right now. but more and more are every day
really our biggest enemy is acceptance and cynicism. there's always people with bad intent in this world. they always need to be defeated. but instead of rolling up our sleeves and doing that, the perplexing and maddening thing is people who roll over and accept being robbed, and then rationalize their victimhood with cynicism. this is our real enemy: willing slaves
you will see this mentality in many comments in this thread and other threads on the topic of corruption and government. those people are the real reason we have our problems
i haven't a single doubt that we have the technological means to maintain nuclear plants forever without a single accident
but what we don't have is the social and political means to do that
money is always being cut, indefinitely, and the people making that decision are not exactly technically proficient. the incentive to cut costs form the general public and bosses who want to trumpet cost cutting trumps all other concerns, because other concerns, no matter how vital, are simply not understood. combine that with a technical person that responds with anger and arrogance at the idea of vital safety mechanisms being underfunded, the manager will simply disregard him or her as a person with a personality problem, and then disasters happen
people who champion nuclear, especially on a website like this, understand the technology well, and are correct when they announce we never have to have a nuclear accident ever again due to technological issues
but they don't consider the political and social aspects of our species that means vital funding of safety mechanisms and maintenance of absolutely crucial technology *will* be broken. it's simply a matter of when, not if
and then people who champion nuclear get angry at people like me, and accuse us of not understanding the technology. oh we understand the technology is wonderful. but it is you who doesn't understand humanity
the imperative on cutting costs and doing as little effort as possible is always trumping all other concerns. always. and people like this wind up being the managers, not the underlings. they can't be fired, they do the firing
incompetence is a force that destroys everything. sober up and accept that
you're making excuses. there's plenty of differences but not of the kind and of the type to make germany different enough that basic economic facts about socialized healthcare and higher education wouldn't work in the usa
you're desperate and reaching for straws to bvoid the obvious lesson
"germany is less square miles so gravity doesn't work the same in germany"
that's what you sound like
we're talking basic economic principles here
you're not being intellectually honest
"cultural differences" is the new cheat by pridefully ignorant assholes to avoid basic lessons about the reality they live in
ah yes, that orthodox leftist creed of keeping drugs safe
there's no need for it, it's a severe authoritarian need to control people, right? like a cartoon movie script: "ooh, i'm a lefty, i'm here to destroy your rights {insert manaical laugh}. why? i dunno. it's just what we do since central casting by joe mccarthy in the 1950s"
you need a cartoon villain to have your cartoon belief system
how many millions of more examples do you want you ignorant asshole before you try matching your beliefs to reality?
that is the actual threat. that is why we have government regulations like the FDA: to protect us from the actual fucking real threat: industry
meanwhile, you want to whine about "orthodox leftist creeds"
that's not the actual threat, that's your uneducated delusion you ignorant piece of shit
did i make up executives who will kill you and poison you to make $1 more? am i making that shit up? do you read the fucking news? there's 3 links above from last week. do you want some more you shitbag before you try the slightest bit of intellectual honesty for the first time in your low iq life?
you imagine regulation as the threat, when the fucking story you are commenting under shows the real threat is industry. reality
why do you persist with a belief that fucking contradicts simple facts and simple reality around you
what the fuck is the source of your colossal ignorance you useless propagandized piece of shit?
you're a zombie. walking through the world blind, unable to see or understand anything. just regurgitating the same tired wrong ignorance, without the slightest effort to accept facts. prideful ignorance
you want to give the benefit of the doubt. it is mostly stupid people out there. nine times out of ten, they genuinely don't understand what the fuck they are talking about but open their mouths anyway
if i am having a conversation here with mostly europeans, and the difference is therefore in terminology (there are dumb europeans as well as dumb americans, but the terminology differences means indeed i have to side with caution), then i apologize
but if i am talking to the usual low iq propagandized american retard on this topic, there is no apology necessary
i am not using empty insults. we are talking about, objectively, morons. who talk about economic concepts they don't understand, merely regurgitating quasireligous beliefs their propaganda channels spoonfeed to the useful fools. genuine morons
do you respect a creationist when talking about evolution? an antivaxxer when talking about biology? no and no. these people need to be castigated and rejected. they reject reason so there is no use arguing with them. so it is with free market fundamentalist retards. they have beliefs that only exist when ignoring economics and simple history
you're an uneducated idiot. stop talking about topics you don't understand. libertarianism was originally about social issues in europe. then it got coopted and repurposed (so stolen... ironically) to be used as a term for economic issues in the usa
to the point that people now can call themselves libertarians in europe, or libertarians in the usa, and actually stand for completely oppposite positions in the economic and social spheres
The term libertarian was first used by late-Enlightenment freethinkers to refer to the metaphysical belief in free will, as opposed to determinism.[12] The first recorded use was in 1789, when William Belsham wrote about libertarianism in opposition to "necessitarian", i.e. determinist, views.[13][14]
Libertarian came to mean an advocate or defender of liberty, especially in the political and social spheres, as early as 1796, when the London Packet printed on 12 February: "Lately marched out of the Prison at Bristol, 450 of the French Libertarians."[15] The word was again used in a political sense in 1802, in a short piece critiquing a poem by "the author of Gebir", and has since been used with this meaning.[16][17][18]
The use of the word libertarian to describe a new set of political positions has been traced to the French cognate, libertaire, coined in a scathing letter French libertarian communist Joseph Déjacque wrote to mutualist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in 1857, castigating him for his sexist political views.[19][20] Déjacque also used the term for his anarchist publication Le Libertaire: Journal du Mouvement Social, which was printed from 9 June 1858 to 4 February 1861 in New York City.[21][22] In the mid-1890s, Sébastien Faure began publishing a new Le Libertaire while France's Third Republic enacted the lois scélérates ("villainous laws"), which banned anarchist publications in France. Libertarianism has frequently been used as a synonym for anarchism since this time.[23][24][25]
Although the word libertarian continues to be widely used to refer to socialists internationally, its meaning in the United States has deviated from its political origins.[26][27] Libertarianism in the United States has been described as conservative on economic issues and liberal on personal freedom[28] (for common meanings of conservative and liberal in the United States); it is also often associated with a foreign policy of non-interventionism.[29][30] Since the resurgence of neoliberalism in the 1970s, free-market capitalist libertarianism has spread beyond North America via think tanks and political parties.[31]
exactly. cherry picking propaganda morons are all over slashdot, choosing the info that only reinforces their biases. germany is clearly doing better than the usa
of course germany has problems, every nation does, you're an idiot if you think i was describing germany as some sort of paradise
but from this side of the pond, germany is clearly and unequivocally doing better on the issue of social safety nets, for which us americans are paying many multiples of, for far less benefit, because morons here think it's a free market, and plutocrats corrupt our elected officials to keep thew gravy train flowing
and libertarianism as originally defined was about social issues: i can wear what i want, say what i want, use what drugs i want, no constraints
then it got adapted as "don't tax the rich" by plutocrats and their sycophants in the usa and american morons lapped it up, and now it has a mostly economic meaning in the usa
words like these are complex with many overlapping meanings by time period and location
suffice it to say, if you ask a european what socialism is, they will answer as i described, and bernie sanders will answer as you describe, because the usa has altered notions of word meaning
the founding fathers said in the second amendment that citizens should remain well trained with muskets. to have a populace useful and knowledgable with guns, the government should not prevent the use of guns. they were worried confiscation fo guns would lead to a populace unable to fend for itself and unable to fight back against a bad government
but that is not what we currently have
we have any asshole gets a handgun and never uses it as the founding fathers intended
namely: skill, knowledge, expertise. what would have existed on the frontier from weekly if not daily use, to obtain food and safety, as a natural consequence of the importance of guns in daily life back then
but the use of guns today is not about what the founding fathers intended the purpose of the second amendment to be
so we must enforce the true meaning of the second amendment: the building of knowledge, expertise, proficiency, skill. we must enforce that. we must say: "sure, get a gun. now show us you know what the hell you are doing: pass this test, get this certification, prove you are upholding the meaning of the second amendment with your gun ownership"
then safety and responsibility with guns becomes a secondary effect. anyone who is not able to meet the standards demanded by the founding fathers is no longer legally able to own a fire arm
the meaning of the second amendment as you understand it, as it has come to mean for the majority of americans: any asshole can get a gun like candy, is *not* at all what the second amendment says and means
stop selling the lie. examine the wording yourself. stop trying to put the square peg of your comment in that round hole of the actual wording of the second amendment
socialism: public safety nets. much cheaper and higher quality healthcare. affordable higher education. source: canada, denmark, germany, norway, etc... countries richer, healthier, happier, better educated, and *freer* than the usa: no financial parasites funneling money out of their society via cozy relationships paid for by corrupt elections, for nothing in return, because regulating corporations and plutocrats is "against freedom"
communism: gulags and mass starvation and no free speech and no free press and no freedom of religion and control and fear and genocide and hour long lines to get scratchy toilet paper. that's canada and germany, right?
american moron: socialism = communism, because hysterical low iq propaganda that hasn't had an original thought since mccarthy's 1950s red scare bullshit means that binary choices between communism and capitalism are the only choices in a subject matter, economics, that in reality, has thousands of complex variations. but... we'll just stick to our ignorant kneejerk biases, because it serves our plutocrat masters who produce the propaganda to keep us misinformed, poor and unhealthy, and we like it because we're useful fools
it's like talking to social retards who think socialism is the same as gulags and toilet paper lines communism
even though actual socialist countries: canada, denmark, norway, etc., are richer, healthier, happier, and *freer* than the usa: no financial parasites funneling money out of their society via cozy relationships paid for by corrupt elections, for nothing in return, because regulating corporations and plutocrats is "against freedom". aw, those poor abused corporations and rich people
you think in a simpleton's moronic binaries, when the truth is a range of thousands of government types exist. a democracy being one of the better forms
but the act of me accepting government exists and must be worked with, becomes exactly like being a complete authoritarian dictator, in your mind. because your mind can only understand complete anarchy or complete subjugation. because you're a moron. objectively, as demonstrated in the quality of your comments. any intelligent commentary on this concept lies in between anarchy or totalitariansm, government where only necessary, such as with corporations who pollute when not policed, as demonstrated by the fucking subject you are commenting under
yeah. and fusion is just around the corner. with the flying cars
don't count on what is supposed to be coming until it actually comes. some changes can proceed quite rapidly. but other changes can take a long time to make an effect, and some discoveries which "feel" close are actually many difficult steps away that are not immediately appreciable. what you're pegging at 10 years away could be 100 years away. meanwhile, changes you can't foresee are creating and are created by unseen effects as technological change creeps further into society
your argument works for government intrusion too: hey, the nsa is just sticking it's nose in and without your permission monitoring all of your personal private electronic communications. why? to keep you safe. oh that's nice!
so it's ok, right? no? but that's the same fucking argument you're making
the real bottom line:
someone you don't know and do not trust is transgressing your personal property and your privacy, you thick fuck
never acceptable, no matter what their agenda. because you did not grant them permission
where do you social retards come from? an elementary school kid can get this
we live in a democracy, but what is the defense against beliefs which are based on fantasy rather than simple reality?
why must society continue to suffer with corruption and crime because a number of loud ignorants continue to obstruct the simple and obvious based on ridiculous moronic crap?
