5) Talking heads spreading FUD

Har har well, I wouldn't recommend it  Unless you're a billy goat, in which case, carry on.  I don't know about the caloric value of a dollar but I assume it's not high enough to sustain you for long.

I just can't believe people line up to get fleeced like this.  I don't understand the herd mentality.  Most people know they're getting fucked, that their banks are literally fucking them, and then they turn around and say they don't want to do anything about it, and continue to use the very cash the banks put out.  It's just madness.  Tell me this is a really bad dream and I just need to wake up.

AND YOU CAN'T EAT GREEN PIECES OF PAPER, EITHER.

CAN I GET A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER OF THE FLUFFIEST SHEEP AWARD?

The fact this guy got 93 thumbs up is fucking appalling.

I wouldn't mind if people were buying and selling land.  It's when they buy and sell land, and you still have to pay a tax to exist on it, because someone else already owns all the land and you're just trading a piece of paper.  You cannot live without a place to exist.  Why don't we just section off portions of the sky, claim state ownership, and then charge a breathing tax?  That's what land tax is.  It's a tax for existing at all.

How much does the state pay the state for its land?  Oh wait, that's right, they're the ones charging rent.  Good thing that tax goes right back to us--oh wait, that's right.

Huh!  Now I see why the media portrays the apocalypse as a nuclear wasteland; if people realized the end of the world as we know it would be a good thing, it really would be the apocalypse.

I don't think they're legitimate period.  You don't declare land as yours and then expect everyone to agree with you.  Law is just a lie, the word of God, to make your actions appear appropriate.  Law or no law, it's all a mind game.  If Israel wants land, it's because it wants to expand and become more powerful.  They can pretend to be civilized, but it's the same shit that's been happening for thousands of years.


On the contrary, eggs exist, governments are legal.  Chickens came first, and so did anarchy.

It means an illegitimate body is writing the word on legitimacy.


I agree.  No government can legitimize itself.  And it's not my definition; my professor's the one who made the connection.

Also, if you play some songs backwards, you can interpret the gibberish as Satanic messages.

When they decided the confederacy wasn't working out (as I've come to understand, this is as close to anarchism as has ever been attained in America,) they convened in Philadelphia to make some amendments.  When they couldn't find a unanimous vote, they decided the system would never work out.  These people only had permission from the general public to convene to change the articles of confederation, and were not given permission to throw their government away and invent a completely new one without anyone else's consent.  Thus, the constitution was born, and it was illegal for it to exist.  It still is.

I just learned in class today that the American government we know and love today is actually illegal.  Funny how that's never been brought up before, in my entire 21 years of living.

Surprise: Your world is not encompassed by America. Guess what happens when you're born American?  Is it:

A. You get a free stab at the country you want to live in

Or

B. You're fucked.

Please tell us, kokjo, about this universal government you're referring to that you appear to exist in.

In America, it's by the wealthy, for the wealthy. They just keep the sheep and cattle happy by making them think they're apart of their game.

Yeah a few sub-forums would be nice in there.  Just like how the alternate currencies could do well in splitting up into Litecoin, Ripple, etc.

People crave approval   I'm guilty of this myself.  Sometimes I'll go to certain websites and post tidbits of stories I'm writing, to see if people like them or not before continuing.

And once again, the gigantic boner of men with this disturbing fetish for absolute control springs into action.  Say no to government regulation, kiddos.  Regulation does nothing but rig the game in someone's else's favor--specifically, not yours.  The market is being regulated, and we're the ones doing it.  Don't give up your freedoms for the false promise of stability.

Just for the record,


This fella went straight to the Ripple giveaway, so he's got his 50k ripples.

The government is always legitimate; and if what they're doing is not legitimate, they'll pass a law to make it legitimate.  After the Patriot Act, I don't see how the government could ever do wrong   It is, after all, legal for them to do whatever it takes to get those gosh golly-gee-wiz dang-darned terrorists.
