Horrible spelling, almost all reactions are based on emotional feelings rather than hard facts, and made up of rantings. wtfamireading.jpg
>> [_] Anon 1642014 >># "Implying every human problem is solved with science" op here, pray to God to solve your problems then.
>> [_] Anon 1642016 >># How's being 17 working out for you? Is atheism fun? When you grow up and join the big boys 5 years from now, you'll realize how much of a faggot you're acting like.
>> [_] Anon 1642017 >># Fail :/, as in not all people think the same so always using science as a solution instead of diplomacy or common ground when communicating with them could work far better for solving issues. fuckthisthreadimoutofhere.jpg

>> [_] Anon 1642021 Where do you decide to separate your animal qualities with those defining us as Human? You'd probably have more fun reading Starship Troopers for its ethical inquiries.
>> [_] Anon 1642033 >># I actually did enjoy Starship Troopers for its ethical inquiries in the beginning.
>> [_] Anon 1642034 Why does every kid think he or she has the solution to all world problems. Fuck off with your stupid earnestness already. You bound like a drunken puppy.

>> [_] Anon 1642084 we all fall on hard times. that's the benefit of the social contract. if for some reason we find ourselves broke we don't starve to death. it's one of the perks of human civilization. insurance against a universe that's frequently shitty at providing any reliability in our lives. sure, some people abuse the system, but that doesn't mean it needs to be scrapped, just so people get a sense of vengeance upon those who do.
>> [_] Anon 1642106 >># >that's the benefit of the social contract. And the cost is people robbing you.
>> [_] Anon 1642107 I would point out that Print to Flash was written by underpaid overseas workers - but the creator of this didn't even pay for it.
>> [_] Anon 1642112 >># >robbed this argument can be applied to anything. WHY ARE YU FORCED TO PAY TAXES TO FUND PUBLIC EDUCATION ?! MAYBE YOU SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO PRIVATE SCHOOL AND DO NOT USE IT!! sure, ok, but then vote for that position. you are free to decide what you spend money on and what you don't through tax dollars, by voting for representatives that can support this position in government. I for one will always vote for a welfare system, because while I am a taxpayer I like the idea that the lower class that works at my business has a safety-net in case they loose their jobs so they and their children don't have to go hungry. And if I fell on hard times, I like the idea of being able to afford food and sanitation.
>> [_] Anon 1642114 Also, keep in mind you don't live inside a bubble. You have to interact regularly with people who pay taxes which support the stuff you use, and vice versa. There are certainly nations that approximate what this guy's opining for, in Latin America and India where money can buy you virtually anything, it can be spent exactly as the wealthy please. People in the US should accept that they will be living in a nation that increasingly looks like the developing world if they're OK with their out of work neighbors ending up on the streets or perhaps dying of starvation if they want to scrap the welfare system altogether.
>> [_] Anon 1642121 >># >sure, ok, but then vote for that position. you are free to decide what you spend money on and what you don't through tax dollars, by voting for representatives that can support this position in government. So you're saying that if a majority of people vote for it, then it's okay to steal someone else's money. >I for one will always vote for a welfare system, because while I am a taxpayer I like the idea that the lower class that works at my business has a safety-net in case they loose their jobs so they and their children don't have to go hungry. Yeah, that's what charity is for. Nobody has a right to turn someone else into a slave, hard times or not. >And if I fell on hard times, I like the idea of being able to afford food and sanitation. Yeah, just because you like the idea of robbing someone doesn't change the fact that it's their money.
>> [_] Anon 1642123 >># >Also, keep in mind you don't live inside a bubble. ... Don't mind me, I'm just waiting for your point. >You have to interact regularly with people who pay taxes which support the stuff you use, and vice versa. "Have to"? Yes, because the taxes are taken involuntarily. It seems you assume there would be no other system if it weren't for the government, like there wouldn't be a post office if it weren't for the government, Lysander Spooner be damned. >There are certainly nations that approximate what this guy's opining for, in Latin America and India where money can buy you virtually anything, it can be spent exactly as the wealthy please. If it's their money, they should be able to spend it as they please.
