RE: Fair taxation.

Firstly the super rich own all the assets and shares and the only way to make real money today is to already have money. A few people hoard all the money so most people get nothing. How do you tax nothing?

Secondly it's people your age who created the debt, instigated the situation above and avoided paying their fair share of tax. Every third dollar earned by your children and grandchildren has already been spent by you.

RE: No pressure

That should be optimum, not optimism

RE: I would love to live in a world

I would love to live in a world where we valued public services and workers rights more than we do an extra annual month on yacht for those fortunate enough to own a yacht.

RE: The American Nightmare

Don't say that you'll make their narcissism even worse. It's not their prosperity we don't like, it's them. Swiss, German and Japanese don't invite contempt to anywhere near the same extent.

RE: now what do men want?

I wish women were less political and scheming, more frank. Love that they're willing to please, loathe that they're never wrong or the bad guy.

RE: Snowflake micro aggression triggers...

I'm glad you're upset

RE: Epigenetics as in traumata....

DNA is much more flexible than we once thought. The descendants of women who survived the holocaust experience night terrors even when they don't know who they're descended from, and the descendants of longbowmen have greater bone density in their right shoulder.

RE: any tips?

Tape a big bag of drugs to a frisbee and let it fly. For the not so adventurous use money.

RE: How to maintain a woman

No mate, no. When in context exploit every opportunity you can to mention great times with former lovers. For example do casually mention how good your Russian ex was at giving head.

RE: Why?

I'm more concerned about the insanity of doing the wrong thing over and over again, and feeling guilty about it. The worst exploiters I know spend more time in therapy than anyone else I know. Real sociopaths are in the minority, wannabe sociopath is a cultural norm.

RE: Dude, you're doing it wrong

Don't do this, that and the other makes you realise what a rigorous process of elimination this is... are there any pro-active tips on how to be less wrong? Obviously telling a man what he needs to be is the greatest wrong of all - on a date, but this education.

RE: IT STARTED OUT AS JUST ONE AND NOW IT IS TEN

Bad people need more rules whether bad means irresponsible, stupid, selfish or evil. Good people need almost no rules.

RE: You cannot multiply wealth

What do we when we can more or less build a second you? When every person has a second version of themselves in the garage? Who goes out to work then?

The robot you goes out and does everything you wouldn't want to do anyway and where does doing what you want to do in life fit in with Dr Rodgers logic of the Great Depression?

RE: Laughable US Snowflakery

If it's safespace they want they should go the whole hog and build a wall around the country.

RE: Hmmm...married people, just how happy are they?

In the early days it's all about the spark in the latter days it's the companionship. You come together during the honeymoon and drift apart throughout the marriage, longterm it's more about your ability(true ability)to tolerate other people and live with being bored for mundane and mature reasons.

RE: Educated Isn't Synonymous With Intelligent!!!

Education tends to invoke the feeling in others that they could your job just as well as you do - and they call it common sense.

RE: The Online Disinhibition Effect

It's speakeasy like the pub, but speakeasy or not the pub has boundaries you can get punched in the mouth down the pub. It's more of a safespace where you can be narcissistic without hurting anyone like meditating, therapy sessions or that hole in the back yard you yell in.

RE: "Calm before the storm."

His fans are filled with an ever-present sense of dread and the man knows hows to chime with his audience.

RE: Brexit

Not many people who voted to leave will actually build the independent Britain, something unexpected will emerge from the ashes of Brexit 1. That's why I voted for it and would again.

RE: How real are you ?

Speak from the heart, don't speak from the heart. There's tell me your thoughts, dreams and reflections real, and there's keeping it real which means obey the code or get taken down in a second.

RE: Why do a lot of women wear high heels?

I was underthe impresssion that women wear heels for longer looking legs, not to be 6 foot. The fact she's vulnerable and in excruciating pain must be part of the fun. It's graceful which I look at as feminine resolve.

RE: REVENGE

Better to torment others than yourself as Himmler used to say.

RE: Hawaii warned against nuclear attack

You've increased the odds of armageddon, but you're not there yet Lindsy, the lord below has had less than a year in power. Chances are there'll be a coup in NK within 5 years instead of 6 with only a doubled risk of armageddon.

RE: age

And it's more than simply the stamina to keep up with the kids, there's a loss of support and enthusiasm with age.

RE: age

It depends where the relationship was going. Kids for example forgetting the biology for a moment older parents, at least these days, don't invest as much of themselves into raising the kids they're more self-interested than the young mother who will more likely dedicate herself to something more than herself.

RE: Dating for the undatables

But this independence on piggy back as I like to think of it is inauthentic and that's why it's insecure and juvenile at the same time. You don't need anybody else because of luck, not strength, and thus you can't afford to show weakness when you're not actually confident in your own strength. You won't admit your needs, advice will be taken as criticism, and you'll be really thin-skinned and sensitive around anything that makes you look sensitive.

For example soldiers after WWI all leaned on each other and they wrote some of the most beautiful poetry in the history of mankind. Contrast this with how people sound in today's nanny state and fast-food culture of instant gratification.

RE: Dating for the undatables

And I'm not sure if older people are necessarily pickier, their options are less attractive and they carry more baggage, no I believe this isn't really to do with age but generation. Today's older people were the first and foremost generation me where all the material powers of the world stepped in to carry each lone individual from cradle to grave.

RE: Dating for the undatables

You can't always get what you want and healthy relationships require you to need somebody else.

The problem is that our material needs are met by the state and industry and our deeper ends are neglected by the insecure and juvenile. They're liable to end up alone in a place like this with a simulated friendship circle that doesn't tend to anybody's needs precisely because they undervalue their need for the people around them including lovers.

RE: privilege

And I believe Trump and Brexit, a bit like Communism in the 20th century, will force the hand of the rich. The fear of these reactionaries sending us back to the caves will make the centre respond generously realising it'll cost them less to do right by the people.

Trump/Brexit although not communists - far from it - are the only threat the rich feel. From the perspective of the centre it does not matter if the rebels represent revolution or anarchy and war the important thing is they know they can not maintain things as they are in the interests of a few. We need Trump and the ageing senilies to lose same as the Bolsheviks lost and same as the Bolsheviks we use the fear of them as the 21st century equivalent of funding the NHS and banning child labour. Only the sword of damocles hanging over the rich and powerful makes them do right by their underlings, this senilic force of hatred and spite may help the world in spite of itself.
