i live in a world where people don't work out of the goodness of their heart
they don't work because they like it
they don't work because it's the right thing to do
they work to get a fucking paycheck
and that's global
that is universal

whatever that means
like, i guess in some facets, capitalism is executed better/worse in the UK compared to the US, but
either way, do you honestly believe if i knew as much about capitalism as meta, i wouldn't still hate the fuck out of it?

No sale has been lost except for the flea market you could've found it at, or someone online

How about you ban the people who told him to kill himself and were saying other bad shit to him?
But you won't, typical bullshit moderating.
Not once has telling someone on here to go kill themselves been a serious post
So go kill yourself
a couple of mine may have been serious

and keep in mind, as an american, i'm speaking strictly from the american perspective--i really don't know anything about the UK's systems
maybe it's better, as you say, but i mean
we don't have much a history of agreeing on shit, so, i'm not sure if i would think it's too much better

How could you even possibly price things meritoriously? You either do it by supply and demand, or not at all. Supply and demand is the only system of allocating scarce resources that actually makes sense. Trying to price things on some other notion has led to depravity every single time it has been tried, and no, it's not just a case of not being tried correctly, it just doesn't work. please explain The rich contribute disproportionately to the public coffers; often at the expense of productivity growth, I might add. and what's productivity growth developing a new iPad? if your new product isn't a fucking breakthrough in technology, it's probably not worth it (but of course, due to consumer demand, it "is" worth it) (part of the evil of capitalism is that it's self-sustaining, like a cancer) Since capitalism is about competition, I don't see how this is a function of capitalism. Most competition is stifled by government regulations which restrict entry into a specific industry. Especially when it comes to intellectual property reform. it's a function of capitalism, obviously, because if you're the only one making products on the market, and you're selling a hot product, you can jack up the prices extortionately and lapdog consumers will just take it up the ass--now, you can argue that that's our fault, and that's true, but that's the sort of mentality that capitalism breedsNot really. Have you ever met anybody who's really passionate about buying Aquafresh toothpaste over Colgate, or whatever you want to use? I haven't, and if you have then it seems like you know some fucktards who wouldn't do well under any system. you've never met someone who "prefers" apple to samsung? you've never met someone who prefers xbox to playstation? you've never heard of terms like "brand loyalty"? there are people who won't even buy products made out of country, like it should matter The "fresh"? sorry, bit of sociological terminology there the fresh refers to those individuals who are just out of high school and are either going to college or are trying to get themselves a job--the next generation of hapless consumers, if you will Not a function of capitalism; it's mostly a function of mental illness, Ronald Reagan and the shocking mental health infrastructure in America. would building homes for the homeless be a function of capitalism? no, that would be socialism because i believe everyone--EVERYONE--is entitled to a home but of course not, there's money to be made Which is a result of companies responding to consumer demand. which should probably raise a red flag in your mind telling you that supply & demand is a broken system Not to mention, if this ever does change it will most likely be as a result of the development of synthetic meats--which is a function of capitalism. that's a function of human innovation you can... kind of sort of not really argue that capitalism breeds innovation but i think that's bogus

it's so easy to argue for the existence of some unspecified deist god, or... really, any unfalsifiable hypotheses
because they're unfalsifiable
this is why no one should argue about god's existence
it's just too stupid of a waste of time

Most of the time people were never going to buy the system or the game in the first place. that would be the problem, guy Emulation is a good thing, it allows poorer people to enjoy games, stealing is a good thing it allows poor people to eat

On what grounds? okay, capitalism isn't as evil as it has an intense propensity to create evil things that have a high propensity to create evil may as well be evil themselves if you can honestly read the words "social hierarchy" or "social stratification" without wanting to vomit, i don't quite know what to say to you you talk about the lack of alternatives--you haven't lived other alternatives it's not that there's no alternatives--it's that no alternatives have been done righti'm just saying, living in a country where we forcefully shove all future generations into excruciating student debt, costs are determined not meritoriously but by the irrational concept of "supply & demand", the rich do not pay their fair share in taxes, corporations can have a death grip on every consumer's balls if there's no competition in the market, and if there is competition in the market, duping us into thinking that one thing is really so much better than the other, the fresh cannot make a livable wage on their first shitty-ass dead-end job, 1% of the population being fucking homeless, and for those of us in the population who are smart enough to realize that eating animals/their extracts is also evil and unsustainable, some of us have to skip meals--often whole days without food--because they cannot afford expensive vegan food it doesn't give me a good impression on the wonders of capitalism i've said it before and i'll say it again--out of all the things in the world that i hate capitalism is number fucking one on that list

I don't think an explanation is really warranted, considering we're talking about Camnator being banned here.

yes, in order to get your message heard in a capitalistic society, you need to take advantage of capitalism even if your message is that capitalism is evil (and it is) i don't see your point it's not like we can just opt out of capitalism if we disagree with it

designer (artist) that's a bit of a stretch you can probably get away with calling car design "an art" but the car itself, the finished product, is not art by itself it's hard to explain but art, generally speaking, is a medium that allows people to express something and that something is designed to evoke or elicit an emotional or though-provoking response cars don't generally do that

and yes, i would argue that video games are artful in them of themselves
unlike cars and fruit
39387
« on: May 01, 2015, 11:12:58 PM »
Except cars can easily be considered art. same argument as the fruit thing cars can be used in art but cars are not in them of themselves art period
