schestowitz> Yes, your always welcome to redistribute, post and share with your audience, as the whole point to this is to inform, adjust and improve the effort, so that everyone can learn or gain from our mistakes and or perceptions. If nobody dared to make any mistakes, there would be very little if any progress made. Of course, it helps if "people" explain the bases of their thinking, so that other individuals can better understand. Jun 03 08:31
schestowitz> Jun 03 08:31
schestowitz> I think your former past U.S. President, the late John F. Kennedy said it best, "The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie—deliberate, contrived, and dishonest, but the myth—persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."Jun 03 08:31
schestowitz> Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> That's mostly because a lie may be shown to be untruth by the application of logic and reason whereas a myth is more resilient to such methodology. Myths allow an idealized conception: a set of often idealized or glamorized ideas and stories surrounding a particular phenomenon, concept, or famous person; and may include a false belief: such as a widely held but mistaken belief; and a fictitious person or thing: somebody whoJun 03 08:32
schestowitzor something that is fictitious or nonexistent, but whose existence is widely believed in!Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> This analogy actually have a lot in common with another great American named "Mark Twain". Whom said, "What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know, it’s what we know for sure, that just ain’t so."  Which former U.S. Vice President Al Gore has often repeated.   Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> It is good that you don't deny the interpretation from other view points. Even in Germany, there is much room to openly discuss matters, as a means to workout indifferences and come to a better understanding. So your most welcome to share your thoughts in confidence and establish your point of view. In fact, I encourage you to put forth any evidence, facts or just your thoughts, on the subject. Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> When you mention that you hold a different point of view (don't agree) please state your reason and explain your point of view. What do you know and why would you had come to a different understanding based upon what evidence, process of determining your conclusions? Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> Isn't intellectual freedom the right of an individual to both seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction? It provides for free access of all expressions of ideas through which any and all sides of a question, cause or movement may be explored, right?Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> Jun 03 08:32
schestowitz> Freedom of the mind requires not only, or not even especially, the absence of legal constraints but the presence of alternative thoughts. The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity, but the one that removes awareness of other possibilities.Jun 03 08:32

msb_schestowitz: Very good high-level ideas here!!!Jun 03 12:25
msb_We are under enormous pressure to believe what we are told and what the people around us think (who believe what they have been told).  So we must make the necessary effort to understand how our mind works, and where we our beliefs come from.Jun 03 12:31
MinceRwe're lucky then that most of the people around us don't think at all :>Jun 03 12:32
msb_We must then test our beliefs -- our model of reality -- against the various alternative models of reality that we can find.  Jun 03 12:33
msb_It may turn out that our model is as inaccurate as Neo's before he was awakened out of the Matrix.Jun 03 12:33
oiaohmReally beliving what you are told without evidences means you don't believe in science.Jun 03 12:34
oiaohmReally science everything is just a theory that has not been proven wrong yet.Jun 03 12:35
msb_The mainstream belief system about the US government and its supposed furthering of democracy, which floods us from TV, newspapers, etc., is in fact just that inaccurate.Jun 03 12:35
oiaohmDepends where you are from.Jun 03 12:36
oiaohmLot of Australians don't trust the USA.Jun 03 12:36
msb_oiaohm: Right.  Here in the US we are flooded and smothered with that system of deception.Jun 03 12:36
oiaohmMost because the USA mil manuals is stupid.Jun 03 12:37
oiaohmIe the idea that soldiers don't have a right to think.Jun 03 12:37
oiaohmAustralian forces training is mostly about how to think on one feet and make the right call.Jun 03 12:38
msb_MinceR: We are _not_ lucky that most people don't think.  Because not thinking results in their believing what they're told, and thus becoming programmed robots in service of world fascism.Jun 03 12:38
oiaohmReally Australia is luckier than most countries.Jun 03 12:39
oiaohmOur media is prepared to use robot drones to get into areas they are not permited.Jun 03 12:39
msb_oiaohm: Interesting!  US military training is simply to create robots that will follow orders and kill or be killed on command.Jun 03 12:39
oiaohmmsb_  Really its funny.Jun 03 12:39
oiaohmUSA mil air command and control is forbin from giving australian aircraft orders.Jun 03 12:40
oiaohmMostly because in the iraq war the screwed up and tried ordering australian fight aircraft to bomb a target.Jun 03 12:41
msb_oiaohm: I guess you mean military is prepared to use drones.  Unless Aussie media is even more forceful than ours!Jun 03 12:41
oiaohmIf an australian fight pilot recieves a direct order to bomb a target they have called suspect.  The australian play book calls command and control breached.Jun 03 12:43
oiaohmSo making where ever command and control is a P1 target to be taken out with what ever arms the aircraft has left.Jun 03 12:43
oiaohmAlso automatic trigger of change to backup australian to australian mode.Jun 03 12:44
msb_GHW Bush murdered  at least 500,000 Iraqis after asking Sadaam to attack Kuwait.Jun 03 12:44
oiaohmSo yes the USA command and control people effectively called an full airstrike on themselves.Jun 03 12:45
oiaohmLucky an australian commander was at the location.Jun 03 12:45
msb_Clinton murdered 1,500,000 Iraqis by preventing Iraq from repairing its water purification systems.Jun 03 12:45
msb_GW Bush and Obomber have murdered 1,000,000 Iraqis in their invasion and genocide for no reason whatsoever.Jun 03 12:46
oiaohmSorry to say compared to the death rate under the ditactor.Jun 03 12:46
MinceRoiaohm: so how do australians call an air strike on non-C&C targets?Jun 03 12:46
oiaohmThe numbers you are talking about are smallJun 03 12:47
msb_That's a total of 3,000,000 Iraqis murdered by the US, out of a population of 30,000,000.  The US has murdered 10% of the Iraqi population, and probably injured at least as many more.Jun 03 12:47
oiaohmC&C can by not following australian rules controlling australian fighters can mistakely call an airstrick on self.Jun 03 12:47
oiaohmDue to bad orders.Jun 03 12:48
MinceRi knowJun 03 12:48
MinceRbut how do they give a legitimate order to bomb a target?Jun 03 12:48
msb_oiaohm: Please provide a reference for Sadaam murdering more than 3,000,000 Iraqi people.Jun 03 12:48
oiaohmA few ways.Jun 03 12:48
MinceRsuch as?Jun 03 12:48
oiaohmAustralian fighter aircraft themselves can operate as C&C for ground forces.Jun 03 12:49
oiaohmAnd australian spotters on ground can also send messages straight to fighter aircraftJun 03 12:49
oiaohmAustralian forces are designed to operate with a decentralised command and controlJun 03 12:49
oiaohmSo making them far worse of problem to disrupt.Jun 03 12:50
msb_oiaohm: Please provide a reference for Sadaam murdering more than 3,000,000 Iraqi people.Jun 03 12:51
oiaohmmsb_: Please beaware 20.000.000 people in Sadaam time are not accounted for.Jun 03 12:52
oiaohmOver 20.000.000 peopleJun 03 12:52
msb_Please give a reference.Jun 03 12:52
oiaohmThat was anistary internal national numbers.Jun 03 12:53
oiaohmBasically people who were imprisined by Sadaam and has never turned up again.  msb_Jun 03 12:54
oiaohmNo bodies no nothing has been found of them.Jun 03 12:54
msb_oiaohm: "anistary" is not a word in English.Jun 03 12:54
oiaohmamnesty internationalJun 03 12:55
msb_Please give a reference for the 20,000,000.Jun 03 12:55
oiaohmDon't have the document on me.  Basically Sadaam did not get the title of butcher for no reason. Jun 03 12:58
oiaohmYou also have to remember the chemical weapons the USA was looking for.  They had given to Sadaam.Jun 03 12:59
oiaohmThey were used against the curds and in the iran and iraq war.Jun 03 12:59
oiaohmWhen using those weapons was out lawed by international treaties.Jun 03 13:00
oiaohmEven when the USA gave them to Sadaam.Jun 03 13:00
msb_Yes, US wished to mass-murder the populations of both nations so it fomented that war.Jun 03 13:00
oiaohmNo USA did not want iran to win.Jun 03 13:01
oiaohmSince that would have cut off USA cheep oil.Jun 03 13:01
oiaohmThe chemical weapons killed more than 3.000.000 people.Jun 03 13:02
oiaohmAnd those chemical weapons got the people of a iraq scared to fighting against a dictator as well.Jun 03 13:02
msb_Both the 20M and 3M figures seem many times higher than ones I remember seeing.Jun 03 13:03
msb_Maybe 3M were killed in Iran-Iraq war, but mostly not by chemical weapons.Jun 03 13:04
oiaohmIran-Iraq war + curds(the northen peopl in iraq)  Killed comes up to 3 million.  From the USA supplied chemical weapons.Jun 03 13:05
oiaohmThe iran-irag war also saw a lot more die from direct shots.Jun 03 13:06
oiaohmThe losses for iran was so massive that there was not a single famally at the time that had not lost someone in the iran iraq war.Jun 03 13:07
oiaohmWithout the chemical weapons Sadaam would have lost the iran iraq war.Jun 03 13:09
oiaohm20 million is the missing.  Unconfirmed where last seen in Iraq special police hands.Jun 03 13:10
msb_I can't find any such number in http://www.amnesty.org/en/region/iraq  Jun 03 13:11

oiaohmmsb_: I guess I should have rounded down to 2 million Jun 03 13:36
oiaohmIts still a hell load of people killed by USA made chemical weapons.Jun 03 13:36
oiaohmGiven to someone who was not responsable.Jun 03 13:37
msb_I would sure like to see a reference for 20M Iraqis disappeared by Sadaam.  If the remaining was 30M, that would be 40% of the population.Jun 03 13:37
oiaohmmsb_: that is over Sadaam complete rule.Jun 03 13:37
oiaohmIe not like one year.Jun 03 13:37
oiaohmOf course missing.Jun 03 13:38
oiaohmThat could be people who changed their name and hid in that number.Jun 03 13:38
oiaohmReally the problem with missing is that they are exactly that.Jun 03 13:39
oiaohmThey might be dead or they might have hid.Jun 03 13:39
oiaohmThe big thing is the ammount of people going missing in iraq has dropped after the battle.Jun 03 13:42
oiaohmSo I really do think its a better out come to know if a person is dead or not.Jun 03 13:42
msb_Sadaam was an ally of the US.  He was put in power by the US aiding the Ba'ath coup against socialist Prime Minister Abd al-Karim Qasim.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1963_Iraqi_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat#U.S._involvementJun 03 13:46

oiaohmmsb_: and has kept on going to know.  Jun 03 13:48
oiaohmnowJun 03 13:48
oiaohmYou agree from 1963 to when Sadaam finally out put out of power is quite a long time to make a lot of people disappear.Jun 03 13:50
ender_33How about the US prop up of Mao Zedong, mass murderer, communist revolutionary of ChinaJun 03 13:51
ender_33released everyone from prison to terrorize the publicJun 03 13:51
ender_33lenin and trotsky (freemasons) had intellectuals rounded up and exterminatedJun 03 13:52
msb_Saddam (oops bad spelling before) lasted from 1979 to 2006, 27 years, so that would be an average of 740,000 per year for 20,000,000 total.  Still sounds way overly high.Jun 03 13:53
oiaohmIt is a high figure compared to the normalls.Jun 03 13:55
oiaohmFor a 20 000 000 popluation.   That is less than a 4 percent disappearing a year.  msb_Jun 03 13:56
oiaohmNormal disappearance rates are about 2 percent.Jun 03 13:57
oiaohmNote normal in a population at peace without a dictator.Jun 03 13:58
oiaohmBig thing is most of that 2 percent do turn up.Jun 03 13:58
msb_oiaohm: You are saying one person in 50 disappears every year and is never heard from again, nobody knows where they go?Jun 03 13:58
oiaohmI said normal disappearance rates.  Not normal disappearance rates that don't turn up.Jun 03 13:59
oiaohmIn most countries are peace a lot of those people turn up.Jun 03 13:59
oiaohmIn a country with internal problems.  Large percent of the 2 percent will not turn up.  Due to changing names and other things.Jun 03 14:00
oiaohmBasically 4 percent is way outside normal.   2 percent disappearing in a country with internal problems you would write up as normal.Jun 03 14:01
oiaohmie 2 percent in a country with internal problems disappearing never to be sean again.Jun 03 14:01
oiaohmIs normal.Jun 03 14:02
oiaohmThat is a country where you would be just descrimated against due to back ground.Jun 03 14:02
oiaohmIe minor internal problems.Jun 03 14:02
oiaohmYou don't call someone like Saddam a minor problem.Jun 03 14:03
oiaohmBasically missing people numbers really tell you how healthy a country is.  msb_Jun 03 14:05
oiaohmmsb_: mind you due to the on going mess in iraq might also explain why the missing numbers have not dropped as you expect in an area that has gone into peace.Jun 03 14:08
msb_Slaughter of a million people, injury of probably three times as many, destruction of vital infrastructure, and imposition of a govt that is puppet of the US.  Not exactly what I'd call "peace".Jun 03 14:11
msb_And there was no reason, no justification, for any of it.Jun 03 14:12
oiaohmExactly.Jun 03 14:12
oiaohmReally their is a reason.Jun 03 14:13
oiaohmBut its not a good reason.Jun 03 14:13
msb_This was US desire to control oil, and US/Israeli desire for power.Jun 03 14:13
oiaohmAustralian special forces were giving key target aquirements like cemment factories.Jun 03 14:13
oiaohmBecause Australian forces are trainned well enough to take a target without destorying it.Jun 03 14:14
ender_33too bad US still gets oil from Canada as its biggest importJun 03 14:14
oiaohmWhere most USA forces are not trainned well enough todo that.Jun 03 14:14
msb_That is a minor issue.  US, Australia, England should never have invaded or bombed Iraq at all.Jun 03 14:15
oiaohmBasically poorly trainned troopers need as much of the playing field as possible tilted in thier direction.Jun 03 14:15
oiaohmAustralia did not indescribably bomb.Jun 03 14:16
oiaohmReally Australia was stuck between a rock and a hardplace.Jun 03 14:16
oiaohmSupport USA in the iraq war pick up hardware we required to keep the peace our region.Jun 03 14:17
msb_That is disgusting.Jun 03 14:18
oiaohmAlso by our forces going in lot of targets that USA forces would have destoried reducing means for IRAQ to rebuild themselves would have been destoryed.Jun 03 14:18
oiaohmYou have to remember with the mass killing in east temor Australia got no support from the USA or UN to stop it msb_Jun 03 14:19
oiaohmAnd that is in our local region.Jun 03 14:19
msb_Aus can't defend itself against Indonesia?Jun 03 14:19

oiaohmNot something australia particularly wants todo.Jun 03 14:21
oiaohmAustralia is stuck in a really hard place we do need the USA paciffic fleet as backup.Jun 03 14:22
oiaohmmsb_: basically how could australia say noJun 03 14:22
oiaohmmsb_: Reason why Australian forces have advantage on the Australian mainland.  Is  lot of the planits and animals on the mainland if you know how to use them are living bioweapon factories.Jun 03 14:25

msb_Sukarno and 500,000 leftists were killed, and Suharto put in.  I can't believe the US was not behind that.  Suharto was the brutal dictator who attacked East Timor.Jun 03 14:31
oiaohmYes when East Timor first fell australia did not have the forces to assist those people either.Jun 03 14:31
oiaohmBasically Australia has had to sit by and watch bad things happen in our region and not have the power todo anything about it.Jun 03 14:32
oiaohmEven when some of our people have been killed.Jun 03 14:32
oiaohmIe the 5 monitoring reporters in East Timor and the 6 that went with approval from Suharto to find out what happened.Jun 03 14:33

msb_From the wiki article, the policies of the Fabian Society seem to be ordinary liberalism, not socialism.  Minimum wage, health care, welfare.Jun 03 16:54
MinceRwhat have those got to do with liberalism?Jun 03 16:55
msb_Those are the policies of liberalism.  _Jun 03 16:56
MinceRthat's not the liberalism i knowJun 03 16:57
MinceR(or not one of the liberalisms i know anyway)Jun 03 16:57
msb__Classical_ liberalism is something entirely different.  It is synonymous with libertarianism.Jun 03 16:57
MinceR(one of them is orthogonal to these policies; the other one would be opposed to them, afaik)Jun 03 16:58
ender_33msb_ their goal is the eventual conversion of the planet into world socialismJun 03 16:59
msb_MinceR: please rephraseJun 03 16:59
ender_33msb_ that means that they have to get people to accept small parts of the plan graduallyJun 03 16:59

MinceRmsb_: i vaguely recall two things being referred to as "liberalism" (or maybe "libertarianism", i can never tell them apart) -- one of them doesn't seem to specify a policy in those terms and the other seems to oppose themJun 03 17:00
ender_33George Bernard Shaw said Stalin would've made a great Fabian tooJun 03 17:01
msb_Socialism by definition means control of the government and economy by working people.  And the economy benefitting everyone more or less equally, not most of the wealthy going to a very few.Jun 03 17:03
ender_33you'll never get that thoughJun 03 17:03
msb_If that is not the goal of the Fabians, then they are not socialist.Jun 03 17:03
ender_33citation neededJun 03 17:04
msb_for what?Jun 03 17:04
MinceRworking people never got any sort of control in regimes calling themselves "socialism" thoughJun 03 17:04
ender_33working people won't through socialismJun 03 17:04
msb_In Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba they do.  But in Cuba not at the top level of the govt.Jun 03 17:05
ender_33msb_ can you explain why you're not living in those tropical paradises then?Jun 03 17:06
msb_I was born here, and have never traveled much.  I have a lot of books and stuff -- hundreds of boxes.Jun 03 17:06
MinceRso, are you afraid that the perfect utopia you envisioned is just a lie?Jun 03 17:07
msb_But if the US govt gets much more nasty than it is I may have to.Jun 03 17:07
ender_33lack of travel and owning a ton of books would prevent you from living out the perfect socialist utopia?Jun 03 17:07
ender_33sounds fishy to meJun 03 17:07
MinceRthat's insulting to fishJun 03 17:07
msb_I never said those countries were "perfect socialist utopia".  That's your bullshit straw-man argument.Jun 03 17:08
MinceRwell, not in those exact wordsJun 03 17:08
ender_33msb_ whenever we criticize socialism you use them as examples of it having no flawsJun 03 17:08
MinceRexcuse me for not pasting all your lines from the log instead of this summaryJun 03 17:08
msb_Show me where I've ever said that socialism has no flaws.Jun 03 17:08
ender_33msb_ you're putting much burden on us with that requestJun 03 17:09
ender_33there are too many placesJun 03 17:09
ender_33you've only cast doubt on cubaJun 03 17:09
ender_33nicaragua seems to be the perfect place to liveJun 03 17:09
MinceRyou mean nicaragua is even more perfect than cuba?Jun 03 17:10
ender_33cuba is lacking in its upper government a few thingsJun 03 17:10
msb_Amazing.  You say that I've said these countries are perfect and that socialism has no flaws.Jun 03 17:10
MinceR172702 < msb_> Nicaragua is democratic.  Sometimes they vote the socialists our for a while.Jun 03 17:10
msb_I never said either one.Jun 03 17:10
MinceRmaybe that's his problem with nicaraguaJun 03 17:10
ender_33you keep arguing the flaws we bring upJun 03 17:11
MinceRthose pesky voters don't get to vote the "socialists" out in cubaJun 03 17:11
ender_33perhaps you could explain flaws in socialism thenJun 03 17:11
ender_33I can think of one, human natureJun 03 17:11
MinceRi can think of one, it's called "dictatorship"Jun 03 17:11
msb_Then I ask you to show me where I've said those things, and you say I've said them in so many places that you can't show me one.Jun 03 17:11
ender_33general nature tooJun 03 17:11
MinceRand another, "lack of privacy"Jun 03 17:11
ender_33"goes against evolution"Jun 03 17:12
msb_All either of you care about is bullshit rhetoric, not an actual exchange of ideas.Jun 03 17:12
MinceRno, i actually know what socialism is, having lived in it for a whileJun 03 17:12
MinceRwhile you're just spouting bullshit propagandaJun 03 17:12
MinceRsince you have no idea what you're talking about.Jun 03 17:12
msb_I learned a lot this morning talking with oiaohm, but you two just keep spouting the same slogans.Jun 03 17:13
ender_33msb_ you're the one who seems to have the closed mindJun 03 17:13
msb_To you, I'm sure it seems that way.Jun 03 17:13
ender_33we're providing examples, some of us are providing ACTUAL EXPERIENCEJun 03 17:13
ender_33you're ignoring it allJun 03 17:14
ender_33i've told you I have experienced in my own life the downside to labour unionsJun 03 17:14
ender_33from a customer service perspectiveJun 03 17:14
ender_33as a student at school with bad teachers, and as a customer of public transitJun 03 17:14
ender_33i live in canada which is very socialistJun 03 17:15
msb_Some unions are corrupt and some are not.  You extrapolate from problematic ones to all unions.  That's a logical fallacy.Jun 03 17:15
ender_33I see it all around me every dayJun 03 17:15
ender_33unions protect the worker, they don't care about quality of work or the customersJun 03 17:15
msb_You say that because the Hungarian communists harmed people, that therefore all socialists harm people.  The same fallacy.Jun 03 17:16
msb_Until you learn to think clearly, it's pointless talking with you.Jun 03 17:16
ender_33I had a teacher put me on ritalin because she was a bad teacherJun 03 17:16
msb_You constantly distort what I say in order to support your unchangeable beliefs.Jun 03 17:17
ender_33i have changable beliefs msb_Jun 03 17:17
MinceRmsb_: so, what did you "learn" from oiaohm? "cuba is so great, they have such great healthcare, they keep you alive and happy form zomg long, but i must not move there lest my faith in cuba is challenged"?Jun 03 17:17
ender_33read the historyJun 03 17:17
ender_33a year ago I was accusing people of being capitalistsJun 03 17:17
ender_33I was super left wing  back thenJun 03 17:17
MinceRi'm sure this changed msb_'s beliefs A LOTJun 03 17:18
ender_33by the end of my high school days I was a borderline communistJun 03 17:18
msb_I learned a lot about the history of Indonesia and Iraq.Jun 03 17:18
ender_33I would have voted communist if I wasn't strategically voting for liberals to keep stephen harper out of powerJun 03 17:19
msb_So you had a bad teacher, who was kept in the job by a corrupt union.  And you want me to think that proves that all unions are harmful, and none beneficial?Jun 03 17:19
ender_33long time agoJun 03 17:19
ender_33msb_ I haven't seen one that was ever beneficial for everyoneJun 03 17:20
ender_33i've seen some beneficial for the worker onlyJun 03 17:20
ender_33but those ones were bad for the business, bad for the customerJun 03 17:20
ender_33the internal union heirarchy becomes more important than the job itselfJun 03 17:21
MinceRwell, guess what, not having workers work 24/7 for the same wage is bad for business and customerJun 03 17:21
MinceRdoesn't mean it's worth it :>Jun 03 17:21
ender_33show me an example of a union that benefited the busines owner, the worker and the cusotmerJun 03 17:21
msb_Well, strikes do inconvenience customers.  But if you can think of some other way to put pressure on employers, I'd like to hear it.Jun 03 17:21
ender_33msb_ once you fuck with the customers, you need to be punishedJun 03 17:22
msb_Well, strikes do inconvenience customers.  But if you can think of some other way to put pressure on employers, I'd like to hear it.Jun 03 17:22
ender_33msb_ without customers you have no businessJun 03 17:22
MinceRwithout workers you have no businessJun 03 17:22
ender_33the business owner would have to do itJun 03 17:22
ender_33small businesses are like thisJun 03 17:22
MinceRthen the business owner would be a workerJun 03 17:23
ender_33why not have laws passed for better rights for the entire countryJun 03 17:23
ender_33instead of just these people in these unionsJun 03 17:23
msb_Because wealthy employers can afford to bribe legislators so that never happens.Jun 03 17:24
ender_33LOLJun 03 17:24
MinceRwho would cause those laws to be passed?Jun 03 17:24
ender_33Canada's ESA 2000Jun 03 17:24
msb_And BTW, what you're proposing, if it went through, would be liberalism or social democracy.Jun 03 17:24
MinceRi guess hungary is not the only place in the world where the word "liberal" has been stripped of all meaningJun 03 17:25
ender_33yeahJun 03 17:27
ender_33same in Canada tooJun 03 17:27
ender_33its not socialism to pass laws to help workersJun 03 17:28
ender_33it helps societyJun 03 17:28
MinceRonly up to a pointJun 03 17:28
ender_33gives everyone rights, not just those who join a unionJun 03 17:28
ender_33you get more rights in Canada if you're not in a unionJun 03 17:29

schestowitzWhoaJun 03 18:23
schestowitzJust caught up with this interesting conversationJun 03 18:23
schestowitzOne thing I'd add isJun 03 18:23
schestowitzThese two people at the dock I spoke to about the BBC todaJun 03 18:23
schestowitzCause the new BBC building was nearby and they had to go thereJun 03 18:23
schestowitzThey said they hated the BBCJun 03 18:23
schestowitzAnd then I heard something I had not heard beforeJun 03 18:23
schestowitzI thought gay people were lliberal and all (no problem), but this one man said that the BBC was "socialist"Jun 03 18:24
schestowitzI never heard this beforeJun 03 18:24
schestowitzHe said their panel is stuffed with these people, who are biasedJun 03 18:24
schestowitzAnyway, that was news to me. Never mind me...Jun 03 18:24
schestowitzI told them the BBC is now funded not by taxpayers only... but also rich families like GAtesJun 03 18:25
schestowitzAnd also explained to them what I was typing on the keyboard\... patent stuff and how it affects the UK-IPOJun 03 18:25
schestowitzPeople hardly know how patents workJun 03 18:25
schestowitzIt's a travestyJun 03 18:25
ender_33:)Jun 03 18:53
ender_33seeeeeeeeJun 03 18:54
schestowitzYesJun 03 18:54
schestowitzA lot of what you say makes senseJun 03 18:54
schestowitzBut some remains dubiousJun 03 18:54
schestowitzYou need to gather more linksJun 03 18:54
schestowitzYou're not the BBCJun 03 18:54
schestowitzPeople don't take words you say at face valueJun 03 18:54
ender_33exactly, im not the BBCJun 03 18:59
ender_33lolJun 03 18:59
ender_33I probably should provide more linksJun 03 19:00
ender_33otherwise I look nuts, I get itJun 03 19:00
schestowitzIt's not what people are trained to hearJun 03 19:20
schestowitz90% repetition, 5% new stuff, % bolloxJun 03 19:20
schestowitzThe key is making the latter 5% penetrateJun 03 19:20
schestowitzfilling people's mind with new bollox, little by littleJun 03 19:20
schestowitz"Saddam is evil and hates us"Jun 03 19:20
schestowitz"Iraq is getting uranium"Jun 03 19:21
schestowitz"Attack on Manchester possible within 40 minutes"Jun 03 19:21
schestowitzSince you hate communism so much, you ought not to criticise the FSFJun 03 19:23
schestowitzYou should look into Nils TorvaldsJun 03 19:23
schestowitzLinus' dad still has political power in FinlandJun 03 19:24

ender_33is why anyone in finland would be pushed towards communism based on historyJun 03 20:20
