  11. +Roy Long " can easily prove that you're ignorant with a small brain. " Hilarious part of this comment is that it's scientifically proven that brain size doesn't determine one's intelligence. "Milton Friedman actually went to a public school" I'm well aware of. "and supported basic income. " He did not. He only supported basic income as method to get slowly away from welfare. You know, because he wasn't heartless and knew that simply taking welfare away fast would hurt the poor. Hence he made suggestion which allowed slow transition. Also he argued in his very own documentary that welfare is a trap. Don't confuse basic income to welfare. Watch free to choose documentary. "Welfare didn't just happen because of lazy people." I never made such claim. Welfare however encourages people to be lazy. " It was created during the Great Depression under Franklin Roosevelt when the unemployment rate was about 25% in the 1930s" Irrelevant to any point in here. In fact it sounds like that you simply try to fill some irrelevant information in attempt to appear as someone who knows his stuff. Also common debate tactics from those who aren't intellectually capable to be honest. "Welfare doesn't have to create dependency if there a better incentive for people to work." How are you incentivized to work when you gain everything you need without working and you're punished if you work? You are dependant on government officials when you're on welfare. You have no freedom whatsoever. Seems like you're one of those middle-class kids who never actually suffered from poverty. " Another reason it became a blue state was due to his disastrous tax policy. " Cutting taxes proved to actually save USA from big depression. "In the 1980s, the US national debt was about $900 billion. By the time Reagan left the White House, the national debt went up about $3 trillion after 8 years, tripled in size! " Another idiocy from socialists who don't actually look in to details. It was cold war. Regan did increase spending in millitary in order to fight of communism. Not only that but it is proven that recession would've arrived. The fact is that thanks to reagan the issue wasn't so bad. Also talk about increase in debt... Let's totally forget how much debt was increased thanks to Obama. Oh and... Reagan has literally nothing to do with the subject. "! Many people in California realized this Republican's tax cut led to a huge debt for the country. " Tax cuts don't lead to debt of the country. Increase in spending does. You need to be special kind of idiot for not realizing this. "So you can't let the Republicans run the state" Meanwhile Chicago is becoming ghost city. Runned by crime etc... Dude... Blue states are thriving in trouble and democrats have single handedly even destroyed one of their state. Detroit is great example. "Yep, now you know the racist people in the Democratic party left the party." Hillary is still there. Also no they haven't. They simply changed their plan. Now instead of trying to turn blacks into slaves, they try to turn them into slave voters who are dependent on welfare. "No, you fucking moron. Martin Luther King, Jr. was not a Republican." Party swap is a myth. Anyway facts are clear. Commies like you should just go to north korea.

  14. +Anarchist kitten "It actually does," no it doesn't. That is like you say that it's good idea to walk in highly radiated zone simply because it doesn't kill you on spot. "authoritarian socialist societies where the state owned the MOP need at least 10 years to show improvement, and even then that's not much, it's just lowering a bit of unemployment and poverty." It's easy to remove unemployment. It's different to employ people to jobs that actually are meaningful. Poverty? Capitalist countries have historically taken more people out from poverty than any other system. Okay since you're an idiot let me explain this. LITERALLY EVERY INSTITUTION in mankinds history has been corrupted over time. It's impossible to prevent it from happening. So you have following problems with socialist system. 1. Highly centralized government. This means that it's easy to abuse it and use it for personal gain. 2. You cannot trust politicians words, therefore you cannot make good judge on who to vote and who not to. 3. Politicians aren't super genius angels. Controlling economy is like trying to control ecology of rain forest. You simply don't have enough brain capability and knowledge to decide how it should be regulated and controlled. 4. Problem of corruption (socialist countries are historically most corrupted countries on the planet). So when combined these factors. You will have some nice show. Even if at start you happened to get good politicians by luck. There is no guarantee that their replacements will be like that. Sociopaths, psychopaths and other manipulates are excellent in gaining people's votes and creating connections. This means that over time, every decent politician will disappear and be replaced by sociopath who only cares about himself. He creates enough political influence to his party or to himself and then he can simply make a vote which guarantees him the power of dictator. This has happened before every time anyone tried socialism. Rojava, as a country is too young to show the true problems of socialism. For poverty. It's easy to steal wealth. This is what venezuela did. Until they run out of wealth to steal. It's actually pretty common, that in paper socialism looks nice at first few years. But after it, it's destructive reality will be show. You cannot hide reality forever. "and improved almost instantly after this change (though there was some early economic problems but they subsided)" No it didn't improve. And subsidies are proven to hurt economy in long term. "!That's only if it's authoritarian socialism" It's in all of them. Socialism is weak system supported by weak willed people. "ou can't apply the same problems to a radically different system like libertarian socialism" Libertarian socialism is contradiction. Only idiots who don't know what libertarianism is combine those two. It's like christian atheist. Makes no sense. Sure word exists, but it's simply word play. What you advocate is direct democracy. Which is highly weak to sudden changes. Changes in market, and war time. There isn't a single direct democratic country that has ever been able to resist either of those affects fast enough to survive. Also you still need state in order to enforce socialism. This is why marx, engel, lenin, stalin all were standing for big oppressive government. Because they knew that socialism will never work unless they kill, brainwash, turn into slaves and exile everyone who disagrees. They believed in "wither down" of the state. Which would only happen when everyone who disagrees is gone. "Care to elaborate? If you're talking about authoritarian socialism then no need I already know" No difference in the end of the day. Direct democracy is actually fastest way to achieve dictatorship. "Did you know that cooperatives (enterprises that are collectively owned and self-managed by its workers) are more productive and effective way of organizing?" Yet not a single world biggest companies are made out of them. "Worker co-operatives are larger than conventional businesses and not necessarily less capital intensive " Aka less effective. "Worker co-operatives survive at least as long as other businesses and have more stable employment" Depends on industry they are in. Also stable employment isn't necessarily good thing. Being a slave was pretty stable employment don't you think? "Worker cooperatives are more productive than conventional businesses, with staff working “better and smarter” and production organised more efficiently" That is like saying that army without general and officers is better at making war than army with them.... Also you failed to provide any evidence that they are more productive. "Worker co-operatives retain a larger share of their profits than other business models" If you make programming company. Profits are always larger than costs. "Executive and non-executive pay differentials are much narrower in worker co-operatives than other firms" So why would anyone with talent and knowledge to become executive to join your shitty company?

  37. +ChristianIce First of all Jesus sword talk is literally a metaphor. He explains it same time. His point is that people have to choose between him and their parents. Not about waging war. Read with context for fuck sake. "but, whatever, he's seen as "the ultimate forgiving guy"." Not really only an idiot like yourself would say that. He only forgives if you believe in him. Atheist like me will get a lot of shit regardless what I do in my life. "The first is that this allows the ultimate cherry-picking," First of all when compared Islam, that is far better option than no option for cherry picking. Yes, in Islam it's impossible to cherry pick. "yet picking any old testament passage when it's convenient...but, hey, I am still the good guy, because jesus!" Because christianity is based in the new testament not to old one. Old one is just background. What makes them different from the Jews is the what Jesus did and said. "The second is what you were talking about, and it's "forgiveness" Now, looks like you can do the fuck you want, but if you repent, it's ok." According to Christianity yes. I know that is fucked up but that is the case. "That bitch that won't release marriage licences. There you have "christianity"." ??? Who? Marriage licenses? What the fuck are you gibbering? "She can impose her will on others, just because it's her faith and her jesus is good, therefore whatever she thinks is automatically good." False, and you know it. She does bad, but she will be forgiven as long as she believes in Jesus. Being forgiven from something doesn't make behavior acceptable. Someone can forgive murderer of his parents but that doesn't mean that he think that murder is act of good. "It's evidence that there is nothing "better" in being a christian, there's just the excuse of jesus to behave the way you want." Rofl the opposite. Because the very fact that it's easy to cherry pick bible makes it better than Islam. That is the reason why scientific progress did start from the west after the medieval ages. In Islam the book literally goes against scholars and scientists, saying that they should be killed. While in Bible nothing like that is even implied. Of course church did what it did, but that doesn't mean that ideology itself supports it. Just like communism doesn't support killing, but yet lot of people got killed under it. The fact that people can choose to still behave without being total dicks makes it so that we can live in current progressive and secular countries. Name even one secular country where most people are muslims. You can't find any... simply because Islam doesn't leave room for debate. Hence they cannot be equally bad religions. Otherone at least allows reasonable people be reasonable.

  38. +ChristianIce "Yeah, that count as much as a muslims saying "when Allah says that, it's a metaphor". I don't care. At any point anybody can say "my interpretation is right, yours is wrong". It's not math, it's just myths." Literal commandments is different from someone talking in metaphors of what is about to do. Muslims follow the example of Muhammed, and example he showed is made into a law. There is no metaphors in literal example of killing someone for simply disagreeing with you. "I believe in him! It's just a statement, anybody can speak words." And? "Yet, muslims are killing each other, so they already show that they can cherrypick enough." As I pointed out. They are only killing the ones BREAKING THE RULES OF ISLAM. For fuck sake... Are you really that dense that you couldn't even remember that reply? "The old testament is valid, they read a passage of it at any celebration, they can take it as valid whenever they want. " Again it's irrelevant what happened in old testament since Christianity is based on new one not to the old one. The new testament is what makes them different from Jews. Religion 101. There is a reason why Christians have very different culture than jews have. "Hood County Clerk Katie Lang. You can find that story anywhere." You expect European knowing some random story from USA? "That alone proves my point." No it doesn't. It doesn't make them equally fuck up simply for having some fucked up stuff. You're basically saying that child murdering rapists is as bad as someone who simply kills kids.

  44. +ChristianIce CAn false flag. Which is totally normal thing to do from people like you. I will copy paste this comment and post it again in case you decide to repeat same again. Now first of all your "aand, I guess were done" part proved that you have serious issues. You expect that people are no lifers like you and should respond immediately after your comment. Not only that you think that everyone lives in same time zone. Now to the actual points. OP here already provided good quotes of Quran which promotes killing others, for very petty reasons. And when it comes to Sam harris, he is actually disagreeing with you. "You must destroy all the nations the LORD your God hands over to you.  Show them no mercy and do not worship their gods. Deuteronomy" Now you know what is difference between this and Islam? In this quote YOU NEED COMMAND FROM GOD. PERMISSION FROM GOD. To destroy nation. Or what part of "your god hands over to you" you didn't get? Now in Islam it's encouraged to kill everyone who disagrees with you even without god telling you to kill. Your second quote is the same. Now to the another point, which you have purposefully ignored because you cannot conduct honest debate/discussion. Is that unlike in Islam christians can choose not to follow old testament, since they will still get to heaven. While In Islam you need to follow by the book or you will get killed and tortured in hell. "Again, it's 27000 denominations, and you can start a new one just by saying "I got some very special magic underwear that allows me to understand the bible better than you"." Mormon's aren't christians. and name even one denomination that doesn't believe that Jesus died for out sins.
