Basically, if you are so against Capitalism, I'm sure Cuba and Vietnam would love to have you.

The inherent nature of humans is not sharing. We are competitive. I am one of the least competitive people I know and it is STILL in there. I would not want to live where I had to depend on others to that degree.

How did you manage to get so... weird ... in just a few short posts? You're obssesed with sanitation, and you want to hang on to your beliefs (like, the one about humans being competitive) and yet you think that beliefs will get you killed. I have no idea what just happened with you.

*Shrugs, walks away from discussing this with you*

In Signy's example, the communists/ socialists (Chinese) have it all over the capitalists (Indians) in terms of education, standards of living, and environment. And hygiene too.

It's probably something one wouldn't want to live through, however.

1.WHO WASN'T??? I'm IRISH. Hubbs is part INDIAN. I got a little Jew in there TOO. And Black people?? We still are not free range pooping. Most have managed at least toilets. Literally HALF of India has NO PLUMBING.

2. I seriously doubt the stats on that. Socialists have a history of lying to make themselves look good, and even then a broken clock can be right twice a day.

3. Never said I wanted to. In fact- hubby wanted to start stockpiling emergency stuff and I said "Don't bother". If the end of the world doesn't have stable air, and water, and anti-biotics and the half dozen meds we actually need to get through a day, we'll be dead within a year anyway. Enjoy Armageddon for me.

Sigh, you people are incapable of reading between the lines...

Praying to any one of their 300 gods that the water don't kill them and being ignorant as to WHY the water kills them has exactly the same result.

DEATH.

And there is a HUGE difference in having religious beliefs in various invisible forces, and having beliefs about the actual observable nature of people and the patterns they behave in.

If you don't get that basic premise here, I don't have anything to discuss with YOU.

Wish has built up a soft spot in my heart just adjacent to where my Niece resides....

Right or wrong, I'll kill you or at least bark loud enough until you go away.

Wish is off limits here. :)

So I was watching "Archer" and he was drinking a TON of alcohol and the CIA guy who was going to guide him up a mountain "frowned" against his drinking, as he drank a tub of blue liquor....

He said, "we're going to get up at DAWN"

Archer said, "A.M. Dawn?????"

To which the guy replied, "as opposed to....."

"P.M. Dawn", Archer said, to which Ray sang "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss"....

To which 6StringJack was infinately happy :)

EDITED TO AWESOMELY ADD FOR STUPID PEOPLE:

Do Right, Be Right. :)

What I get out of your posts, WISH, is that everyone else's beliefs are no good, but YOUR belief are A-OK. So, whatever.

It worked great for the joke, and I snorted Miller High Life out of my nose....

But if you really don't know PM Dawn, I'd be doing you a disservice to not show you one of the best love songs ever made. Even if I don't know you or even if I don't like you, you should know this song.

It truly is one of the most beautiful songs ever made.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have :)

I understand that the pickings are pretty slim in these parts these days Sigs... :)

You know I love you Sigs, but don't start shit with Wish.

She's protected, unless she chooses not to be :)

JACK, what's with you and older women? You had an irrational hatred of NIKKI and drove her off the board, as far as I can tell, and now you've got an irrational bond with WISH. In any case, you can't tell me who to discuss things with and what I should/ shouldn't say. And if I should decide to disagree with WISH on any number of things, what are you going to do about it? Have a major snit? Get drunk and THEN have a major snit?

I'm sticking to a topic, and I'm being about as calm as I usually am, while WISH has gone off the deep end on me. It's on her, not me.

But thanks for the videos!

"Literally HALF of India has NO PLUMBING."

Probably goes along with no running water or sewers - that infrastructure I mentioned that you have as an advantage the Indo-Indians don't.

BTW - when the NAmer-Indians were living in the forests and on the plains 150 years ago - where do you think they crapped? The nearest Ho-Jo? How about those Irish farmers who counted themselves lucky if they had a stream nearby? Your ancestral Jews who lived in the deserts - what kind of plumbing do you think they had? What did they use for toilet paper? (I'll give you a hint - there's a reason being called 'cack-handed' - another word for left-handed - is such an insult in that part of the world.)

India and Pakistan came into existence as countries in 1947. By comparison, the US came into existence in 1776, almost 150 years earlier, and based on centuries of British tradition of limited democracy. Give India and Pakistan another 150 years and see how they progress by then.

SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.
