And frankly, that would be the best result for all involved. Historically, when a mob topples a government over an unpopular policy, the end result is not good. Now, if they had a goal in mind, something other than inchoate rage, then they might be able to get something done. Probably still end up bad, but at least there's a chance.
Hrmm, most states seem to do a great job keeping anarchism on the hush-hush, so it's not likely they'd try anything. I'd be utterly shocked if they knew what they were doing: Education in Turkey is governed by a national system which was established in accordance with the Atatürk Reforms after the Turkish War of Independence. It is a state supervised system designed to produce a skillful professional class for the social and economic institutes of the nation. With this in mind, it's almost guaranteed they're all just pissed off and have no idea what they really want out of it, aside from showing a whole lot of discontent. |

Sorry, no story, nothing dramatic happened, I smoked for 22 years (wow looks scary when I write that down, never have....), up and decided to quit because I had had enough of it, my twins turned 10 this past year and well... that's about it.
My pops smoked for about the same time as you, maybe longer. He had real bad health issues because of it, but, after he got pneumonia, he had to stop smoking for at least a week, and once he recovered, he figured he's just stop smoking since he already had a start. And he'd never smoked again after that. Congrats on kicking the habit tho. |

Kinda sucks for all those out of work employees, though.
I still wonder what that transitioning period will be like between now and when most jobs are automated and most everyone's out of work/on welfare. A robot could never replace a greeter, I'm certain (I mean, it could, but it defeats the purpose), but you could automate an entire WalMart. Setup a delivery service and you wouldn't even need to pay for upkeep on the stores themselves, all you'd need are the warehouses and delivery people. Either that or setup a place for people to pick up orders they make online. You may need employees to move the shit around but even that could be automated. |

I believe its been proven, over and over, that people will do what they want if they really wanted to do it. For example, there have been copyright laws long before the Internet came into place, and I'd wager most of us have, in the least, downloaded music illegally, or even simply viewed a YouTube video of a song which the uploader had infringed a copyright. We just don't care what's legal or illegal. Take a look at murders, for example. Civilians killing civilians has been illegal for a long time now, yet it happens quite often. I'd say murder is a much more serious crime than using Bitcoin, and if the law cannot even stop a murder from occurring...well, the rest speaks for itself.
If Bitcoin became illegal, nothing would change, aside from a lot of media exposure, and you know what they say: any publicity is good publicity.

No, that's why I made the effort to specify. YOU think like a REPUBLICAN.
Libertarians are about protecting freedom and property.
Republicans are about cutting taxes and getting money to the job creators.
Who cares what Republicans want? The difference between a Libertarian and a Republican is this: one wants less/no government, the other can't function without it. |

Forcing the Waltons to pay their employees more would just mean you'd see less WalMart associates at every WalMart.

I still don't get how we're justifying robbery at gunpoint.
The usual refrain is "Think of the chiiiiildren!!!" According to this funny lookin thing, the children are the last people on anyone's mind  Shame, they're the ones who have to worry about it. |

That would make more sense if the first guy had 2 coats. Taxes take 10%-ish, not everything you have. And not even all of it goes to welfare.
It makes sense as-is. The man has a coat, possibly more coats at home, and he's being "relieved" of his coat for a man who doesn't have one. It's politics in its purest form: rob Peter to pay Paul. |

Yeah it's just a wild song. Like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds; drugs were the hip thing in popular America at the time. Nowadays, I think insanity has taken that spot.
Anyway, you'd be better off asking what Lennon's "Imagine" is referencing.

If I'm rich enough to own more than one coat, I should be entitled to my coats. I could have a hundred coats and it wouldn't matter; they're my coats, and I'll burn them if I wanted to. Forcing me to be generous is not the way to go. Force at all is not the way to go, and welfare, as is the case in all of politics, is just a band-aid on the actual issue at hand, being, a disproportionate amount of rich people and a disproportionate amount of poor. Welfare only solidifies these two social classes, it doesn't get rid of them, and yet, do the rich give more coats than the average two-coat Joe? It hurts two-coat Joe a lot more to give up a coat than it does me, the guy with a hundred flaming coats, 'cos fuck it, I don't need all these coats, and I already gave my "fair share" away, just like everyone else.
In other words, with welfare, we're trying to keep the two-coaters and the no-coaters poor by forcing the two-coaters to make proportionally huge donations to the no-coaters. Now the one-coaters can more easily fall into being no-coaters and then we can say, "Hey bub, you look cold--would you like a free coat?" And by then they'd forgotten why they had no coats to begin with.
