Fake Christian LOL

The Bible says drunkeness (as in a harmful habit/addiction) is wrong, not simply drinking alcohol.
Buzzed = drunk though
i also don't know what habits or addictions are
Um am I wrong with the meaning?
my favorite habits and addictions are the ones that don't happen regularly and aren't compulsive

cause y'know

those are habits and addictions

occasional and non-compulsive

« on: July 01, 2015, 02:27:23 PM »
It depends on the context. When i'm talking to my friends, i only curse when we're talking shit about people we dislike, but when i'm talking to genuine pricks i try to make sure snakes manifest in their house physically by the time we're through

I'm uneasy about the "officer's discretion" bit honestly. I think this could be a good step towards legalization but this could still give cops a way to target black people for weed more than they already do

it'll involve distribution of wealth

and the word "ought"
Sounds like you're asking me what I think the distribution of wealth ought to be. I'm going to talk about the distribution of income/consumption, however, simply because it's easier.

Basically, the distribution of income earned from labour should broadly be what the market dictates it ought to be. When W=MPL, it's a productive system. That isn't to say the labour market is perfect; it's far from perfect, you need a whole different paradigm when you're talking about labour compared to pretty much any other microeconomic market. Since earned income at the bottom rungs of society can sometimes be inadequate to finance some basic level of consumption, and since there's usually a significant lag between people going from unemployment to employment (you really need some kind of supply/match model, instead of a supply/demand model, for the labour market), then the minimum wage ought to be abolished and anybody earning zero income should be given a guaranteed minimum income by the government.

Whereas people earning something below an appropriate benchmark would be given a subsidy of some level of the difference between their wage and the benchmark; essentially a wage "top up".
I've got to say, this is the first time I've seen anybody say "the minimum wage ought to be abolished" without making me cringe.
While I'm thinking about it, I should also say that the minimum wage is a pretty woeful anti-poverty strategy. A lot of MW earners are teens in relatively affluent households, and it obviously discriminates in favour of people who can actually get a job. The benefit of a basic income/wage subsidies is that it specifically targets the people who need assistance.
I know you aren't necessarily saying this and I think you have a decent point regardless, but I'd just like to make sure you're aware that dependent teenagers are a minority of minimum wage workers by a significant margin, and affluent dependents by an even larger one.

Question: Do you think George Orwell was a capitalist?

That's also what I got from my Georgian education but I worked past that and realized that Southern Education is very good at understating their past racism

So no, the Confederacy was not formed in order to cling on to racist hatred, and the flag was never a symbol of hate until the union government demonised it.
That's why the Cornerstone Speech explicitly states
Quote
Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.
Because the Confederacy wasn't formed on racist hatred.

Or how the dude who designed the flag, William Porcher Miles, was a Fire-Eater, a pro-slavery radical who sought to reopen the international slave trade? Or how it's used regularly by White Supremacist organizations specifically as a symbol of their hateful nonsense? It's not racist at all, see?
