Yawn . . . !!

Salmo.....you seem unusually out of sorts today......need another glass of Metamusil? or taxes got you down?

I found a number of things in the clip that seem quite valid to me.

Along the same lines, there is a local group of idealists here (I forget what they call themselves) who think that all is rosey if we all just live communally.....with a minimum of impact to nature. Gee, nice thoughts for sure.....but practical?.....hmmmmm I haven't figured out how they plan on making a buck. When you run out of your savings which was earned by your folks or working for the man, what then? What product can you sell to people who have no income? It's a problem I haven't figured out an answer to.....if I buy your turnip, where did my money come from....selling my artwork? then where did my buyer get his/her money? from selling her blanket?........Somewhere along the line someone has to produce a salary-creating job or product, don't they?

just wondering how this all shakes out.......maybe the ideal solution is to steal from others who don't live up to the "common ideals"?

you guys seem to hate each other...can't you all just get along?

Nah, hate's not the right word.
or even close, actually.

I know you all love each other...that darn Todd is the one filled with hate I guess..he must be fishing or he would be dressing you down too...

Another Rodney King fan!

Salmo's issues (found on other thread)....." I went in for a minor procedure on my left shoulder. Now I've got a case of the Parker chicken wing syndrome and am loaded up on vicoden right now."


Two more "pick me ups" and you'll be just "fine", bud.

Fine......Fuked-up.....Insecure....Nuerotic....Emotional

or

ya just won't give a rat's arse.

either way......"change gonna come"

Good Luck with the shoulder.

<= Is once again laughing out loud at the projection practiced by the sad and pathetic...living the good life and being far happier than that!

Fish on...

Thanks for the good words Slab. It'll be better in a few days.

I yawned and turned off the video not just because of the drugs, but because I've already taken Econ 101 through 400 something on natural resource economics. The speaker's story had a hard RWWJ slant that I don't need to listen to. That's as objectionable to me as the LW slant that you attempt to project for what you imagine left wingers think. I have a low tolerance for stupidity is all. Stupid like the woman in the 2008 campaign who was so glad that Obama was gonna' pay her mortgage when he got elected. Stupid like Newt Gingrich saying he'd bring gas prices down to $250/gallon if he were elected. I'd cut the woman some slack because she more likely than not is ignorant. I wouldn't cut Newt an inch because he has been and is in a position to know better, and I bet he does know better, which makes him something of a pathological liar. Anyway, Grizz' video is flawed because of cherry picking facts to fit a slanted presentation. Why waste time watching crap like that?

Sg

your interpretation is?

Slab,

Please tell us how an industrial growth society is sustainable over time and hasn't contributed to the present mess we're in.

Sg

Salmo, why do you hate America so much?

Fish on...

Todd

Is that an answer?

Let me ask you an equally complex question......what product(s) can/are being produced that will satisfy family wage jobs? And how will that be financed? I don't think the answer is in turnips and trinkets. It will take a couple of bushels to finance an intellectual-in-training.....where will that money come from if not industry?

All I had was my Rodney King comment. Sorry I can't contribute more.

That's probably as good as it's going to get.

Slab,

My question to you isn't complex at all. The perpetual industrial growth model is not sustainable. Pretty simple. I guess that makes it a trick question. And indeed, your question is "equally complex" in that it too, is simple. The answer is none. Because the model is fatally flawed, the answer is not predictable because there are several possible outcomes, including global socio-economic collapse, pandemic, or attenuating dynamic socio-economic equalibrium that rotates the locations of production and consumption, and other alternatives. That does get a bit complex.

There goes Salmo, hating 'Merica again.

Go back to Kenya!

That video was retarded and obviously was backed my big oil and the like.

I was expecting some weirded out teenagers crying and creating an actual suicide pact. now that would have been worth watching...

Those one armers aren't like the rest of us.
