An agent of what? Common sense? Realism? Yeah I don't want everything handed to me. I have a little something called pride. I agree with itsscience...why reward mediocrity? It just creates a mediocre society. I think you would like so desperate to be insightful that you are willing to put...

I think plenty of people do not want to work because they want to travel, play with their kids, watch tv all day...I think people want to do what they want and not HAVE to do anything.

Sorry forgot to say, I think this is really well said Crimzen "its silly to think we'll ever be entirely equal, we're all different and i wouldnt want it any other way if everything was equal it would be like a flat line rather than this vibrancy"

Because I "agree with inequity" I am corrupt eh? Again, you are being extremely judgmental in a way that it not warranted whatsoever. I think your obsession with "equality" is a flaw in your thought process in and of itself. You want to paint everything with a wide brush and seem to indicate...

I am corrupted because i don't agree with you? That sounds awfully judgmental to me.

Thanks for your mature and adult answer. Because someone doesn't agree with you, they are a "fucking idiot." To me that screams of ego buddy. I think you need to sit down and reevaluate where you fall on this spectrum of highly evolved progressive minded people. Because you have done something...

Crimzen, it sounds like these are more viable solutions than anything apeiron has offered up but I think then it undermines what he is looking for. Money is gone but people are still "not equal." Whether it is money, materials, or services, it still makes some people "above" others which will...

why is god's name do you think everyone will be "living to work" people don't live for work...if they do, that's sad. i live for my family and for myself...not for a 9-5. so that concept sounds pretty bogus to me. a doctor could step into the role of delivery guy a lot easier than the delivery...

You aren't rocking anything...while I thought it was impossible, i disagree with you more than when I started. "Um really? They're reward would be the sense of fulfillment of duties they actually love performing and praise they receive from satisfied customers. Why do you insist on believing...

If everyone doesn't want the hassle and cleans toilets, no one will be the doctor and fill a valuable role. All the "important" roles are gone because you refuse to fairly reward them. Indeed scholarships are given to sharp minds....it is those sharp minds that are often able to create and...

Well hot damn I missed you changing your name to crimson! Every "job" in society is NOT as important as the next. Cardiac surgery > grocery bagger. The actual person is not necessarily a better person but the role is. You could bag your own groceries but likely could not replace your own heart...

Crimzen, Why should a cardiac surgeon reap the same benefits as a grocery bagger? I agree that people should be judged on their character....but how can you justify not rewarding hard work and a more significant role?

Regurgitate is certainly the right description for the word vomit you just spewed forth. I am reaching for the words to accurately describe how inexplicably stupid you sound in this thread. I hope that your thoughts and opinions you've shared here are not completely indicative of your...

Amen to that too. I am open to alternative, progressive ideas. That's why I read this forum and ultimately joined it. But at some point it becomes diffifult to listen to utter stupidity and be told that you are the one who is foolish. I will chalk this up as a learning experience and a lesson...

"the pixies of course would work for and live on love" LMAO.... :rolleyes:

Oh man everybody, I can't see real good, is that apeiron or is that Carrot Top?? I should have paid admission when I logged in for this comedy show. In case you forgot, I'm not the only one to think that this idea should be flushed :toimonster: But I'm sure you're right and everyone else is...

sounds like a smashing idea as your foolish pride makes it impossible to discuss all the reasons this is just ridiculous. maybe someone else can take up the torch to try to enlighten you...it exhausts me and my daughter is hungry...I'm sure she and I can have a much more intelligent conversation.

That's the reponse I would expect from someone who doesn't admit flaws in their thoughts, words, and actions. It's fine to be progressive but don't be ludicrous in trying to be.

no clue what that means. what i do know is that myself and everyone else that posted on this thread seem to see the error in your narrow minded thinking. not sure why you can't. probably because you are one of those charming blokes not willing to just admit when they are wrong or when they...

We all see how well socialism has worked in the past haven't we...but ANYWAY all classes of people have exactly the same wealth. no one has more than their neighbor. What this does is create a sense of security and comfort. When someone works harder than another person, the exact same profit is...
