| Quotes: | "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" - Karl Marx "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." - Mahatma Gandhi "Nobody can hurt me without my permission." -Gandhi " Do not be so blinded by patriotism that you can't face reality, wrong is wrong, no matter who says it or does it" "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." -Gandhi "America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve. " - RATM Member |

Socialism creates a more prosperous state than does Capitalism.
Socialism creates a more prosperous state than does Capitalism. Now... -------- Prosperous - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prosperous While Socialism is a tentative term, I will define it as an economic theory that grants the public control of the means of production. This system allows for the greatest productivity of general wealth without severe class conflict between those who control capital, and those who work under the former. And this is where our two economic theor...
Education's main purpose is life knowledge, not the programming of a mind to work a specific job.
The purpose of school SHOULD be, and IS the bestowal of knowledge so that people may live more fulfilling lives. We learn many rote skills in both primary and secondary school, but ultimately there are specific lessons and mind processes we learn that are most important, as they teach us how to be "decent human beings." (Totally dependent on what that person views as moral) Earning a job because of a certain path of classes/courses is a bi product of education. Con may take many different...

Communism > Capitalism
Communism vs Capitalism So, in this world I've set up for the purposes of the debate, both theories exist, but neither has been exploited. We are a group of people trying to decide the fate of our society, and we have two theories to consider: capitalism and communism. I am the half that is arguing for communism, Vi is arguing for capitalism. All we have are the ideas and writings of those like Adam Smith and Karl Marx. Communism in essence, is far superior to Capitalism. It embodies a sy...
Dir en Grey is the most versatile and great band of all time.
Dir en Grey They transcend genre, redefine versatility, have a great singer with a wide range of vocals, and lyrics with genius metaphors, extended metaphors etc., to tell stories within their songs. Also, they sing about 'important' matters, as do other bands, but not with the vividness and style that Diru (nickname) executes....
