Neptune's orbit around the sun takes ~165 years 
Before anyone asks Pluto's is ~248 Grey, what is your favourite type of beer? |

| Whatever you do...don't get a job at a busy restraunt doing dishes. Hardest work, ever. And Ziff has had many bad jobs. Doing dishes at first was the worst thing that had happened in his sad, sad life.
Give them one or two calls back to show interest. Oh, and insectduel...Radioshack? They will NOT hire you. No matter what. They will destroy you. I swear, their hiring process is the craziest in all the known world. Two of my friends applied there. One of them had NO work experience and was asking for a higher starting pay and got the job. Shitty resume and cover letter, too. However, the other one that went didn't even get an interview. |

| Yeah, the GTA games are all fairly shitacular. Well, the first two were fine and dandy. But I honestly can't stand the 3D ones. They just are not fun.
Final Fantasy 7 is pretty shit, too. Irritating characters, dull graphics, a story line that I routinely pull out of my rectum. It may not be the worst game ever made, but it certainly isn't a good game. Kakatou Chojin or whatever the hell it was. Pretty, awesome pretty, actually. Terrible game. |

Covers aren't supposed to be straight rips of the original song. I hate it when bands do that. You stick it to the song with your own style. Dang nabbit. |

Girlfriends won't help shit unless you have a capacity that previously exists that will allow you to work. Speaking in a purely truthful set of terms you have to understand that you have to overcome your own difficulties to an extent where you can stand on your own. Getting a girlfriend will only be a detriment, and a heavily unfair burdern. You will weigh her down if you use her as an emotional crutch. Clearly, with this mentality, you are unready for a girlfriend. |

Originally posted by Desert Eagle Danielle Have a can of tuna for breakfast. Get to bed early, VERY EARLY.

God knows that I screwed that up BIG.

Originally posted by Skydude Slavery is a market-based economy? So was Rome, Middle Europe and the Natives? This sort of anachronistic way of forcing your personal ideology onto history is ultimately flawed and failed. It accomplishes nothing but to sully the work of historians themselves. What was then is not what we have now. To call it a "market" system as we envision it, complete with the ideologies that go along with it, is extremely ignorant. As is your little "socialism" banter. Socialism and market-based capitalism have only existed since the 17th century as rough ideologies and only in the last two have they ever been implimented. Prior to that the economy of Europe and the rest of the world was NOT comprable to todays in any meaningful terms. Yes, I will agree that some institutions that we have today have been derived by their Mediaeval ancestors. However capitalism and socialism are both obscene ideas that are utopian in the extreme. They both rely on hardwork and an inherent altruism of people (well, except for Randian capitalism, which is again an impossible ideology). Both of these systems proponents argue as if they were children assuming that capitalism is the root of all evil in the world or socialism is full of lazy bums that are oppressed. Either way it just shows the idiocy of the modern ideologue. I have no respect, at all, for anyone who adheres in principal to the totality of any idea. It shows weakness and a lack of pragmatism. For example the mentions in this thread about "incentives" and "babysat". This is all bullcrap because you can look at the people of Scandinavia or WW2 Italy or the 4th of August Regime or WW2 Japan or some other example that is slipping my mind and you'll instantly find that this argument is blown out of the water. The high government intervention in the far-right wing regimes of Mussolini and Metaxas had the government providing many supplimental services to their citizens, yet were these citizens lazy, stupid welfare bums like we'd be lead to believe? Beyond the wretched oppression of Mussolini (Metaxas in all honesty wasn't that bad when compared to his European contemporaries) the people worked hard. Look at Finland (is it really even Scandinavian?  ) they have one of the most competitive economies in the world. WW2 Japan and its subsequent incarnation has a lot of govenment involvement in the citizen's world. Yet it all works. Heh. The Soviet Union is the sterling example of "SOCIALISM DOESN'T WORK BUT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAISSEZ-FAIRE" because it was at war. Socialism as a system is one that thrives on peace-time and co-operation. The Soviets were forced into an autarky that eventually starved the people (yeah, that's right, people DIED) through economic sanctions. Had these not existed and the influences of Stalin and Breshne...Bres...Some other vile dictator not been felt then perhaps the Soviet Union would've evolved parallel to the other nations of the world in relative peace. I mean, the expansionism of the Soviet sphere is a combination of old Russian ideals of the "great Russia" and the ideas of Stalin (and to a lesser extent Trotsky). Plus, following WW2 the veil of suscpision and mistrust fell upon the war buddies and then we entered a state of Total Warfare Preparedness. All the nations did was pump out guns and arm other nations to fight a war.
That all said and done the "ideal government" would not be one at all. Rather it would be the inherent charitable benefice of large anarcho-syndicalist communes (LOL MONTY PYTHON). However, we all know anarchy is a dream that we will never have. I'd suppose that my perfect government would be one with a mixed-market. Services to the people like health care and public transit would be done through the government and certain key industries would be kept in with democratically run Crown Corporations. Private entrepreneurship would be completely free and major sectors of the economy would have competitive incentives from the government in order to bolster the protection of the nation's resources and economy. It would be designed to keep extra-national companies out so that Canadian firms could be run competitively and efficiently. This would also allow for multiple small firms to exist and bolster competitiveness in business. Various things would be done to stop problems like monopolistic businesses, predator corporations and the Big 3 slouch that we are currently seeing in the auto-industry. Government intervention into the personal life of a citizen would be quite minimal. Beyond basic taxation and the necessities of Order and Good Government and be given to an excellent education. There would be a voucher system for semi-private government run educational institutions which would allow for specialized or general education. The nation would feature an excellent multi-culturalism campaign, similar to Canada's. However, discriminatory hiring processes would be stopped. I could go on, but basically a social democratic state would be the one that would benefit the most people assuming it had a pragmatic program for businesses. Of course this is a realistic state. The "ultimate" utopia is as mentioned earlier...AN ANARCHO-SYNDICALISM. (restricted) |

Originally posted by Silvershield Yo there, that ain't part of this conversation. Please drop it. If you want to whine about the left-right dichotmy, create a thread about it. And from there I will decide that whether an inflammatory topic will be allowed to stand on its own.

Did I close this thread? Did I get angry?

The simple fact is when it comes to "OMG LIBERALZZZ" it nearly always turns into whining. I'm not singling you out. I'm using those words to make a marked point so that if it gets responded to the next poster will know to post in another thread. Yeesh. And to accuse me of abusing my powers based on personal bias? Ouch, dude. Ouch. That republican thread. Notice how I closed it? If I were biased I'd have told you guys to go bugger yourselves if you didn't like it. Plain and simple. I closed it because it would've turned into an absolute flamewar OFFENDING you, geeogree, skydude and other conservatives on the board. If your insuation were correct my evil NAZI gay agenda liberal views would've came into play I'd have kept it open and branded all conservatives baby eating homophobes from the 8th circle of Hell. And again, I made no personal accusation. If you'd read my post I mentioned "from there I will decide that whether an inflammatory topic will be allowed to stand on its own." I made mention that the topic in and of itself was inflammatory because it turns into nothing more than a "you're wrong because I'm right!" or "I'm right you're wrong, na na na boogers!" sort of argument. You know how long I've watched this forum. I try my personal best to stop inflammatory topics before they come. In fact, I had an opposite-leaning moderator added to help me keep the impartiality of this forum. But yeah, thanks for accusing me of being an asshole that abuses his powers
