okay… that’s what I feared.  
 
have you wanted to talk about something related to the thread?

@DarkObsidian  
what does it have to do with anything? explain your reasoning. (if applicable, so far you never managed to.)

@tehwatever  
Yeah but does it means I have to be generous and be a good dumb consumer and buy everything the community create? Fuck it. I would rather save and invest for building a future for me, my wife and family.
 
Of course you need to at some point work, hire, spend and earn money, all that with the community but the community is not your life, not your interest, you have to think for yourself first. The only thing that links you to it is an exchange of goods and/or services.
 
You don’t owe shit to a community, like the community don’t owe you shit back. You’ll never go anywhere expecting from the “community” or rather the term “society” here is more adequate.

@lonewolf  
yep, the absolute state of neoliberalism.  
Little geniuses getting fucked by megacorporations and feel like they have a chance to work for FB/Google/MS and co. «I’m contributing for the future!» nah.  
No one will remember you. You’re barely paying back your student’s loans and your shiny Prius, rest in taxes, in a matter of time your job will be outsourced to India.
 
yep i was sarcastic, but at least California’s wines and beaches are pretty neat.

@Holofan4life  
ah, there’s an excellent opportunity and motivation to start cooking!

@MagpulPony  
you’ll have to check your californian privilege! because pay is high but everything is proportionally high including taxes which makes big numbers!

@tehwatever
 
By very far, fuck the “community”, this option is better:
 
>bury all these in an offshore deposit and not let anyone touch it for 55 years, so my daughter can, by the time she retires, have a shit ton of wealth
 
And before, because by the time, you want to communicate something to your children you raised.
 
@MagpulPony  
Even his previous reply left me confused, I’m not even going to spend time google-translating these mysterious runes.

@Background Pony #BE6A  
There’s still an option! Impeachment?
 

@Background Pony #BE6A  
not criticizing, religion established essential laws:  

@tehwatever  
It’s really a belief, no one is ‘blessed’ with anything. No one is equal, no one has the same ambitions.  
again, your religion or beliefs, mostly dictated by your religion (same for christians) just counts as your opinion there and some kind of moral reference.  
But it’s not the law. No one is obligated to spend their money. Then comes the logic, it’s a dumb thing to do as money is itself, a part of the debt devoid of value that will profit your bank. (I discussed this previously, invest in solid stuff vs keep with FIAT that only profits the banks ) if you invest it wisely, or place it in accounts it will be useful.
 
No one has the obligation to share what they own.

@Princess Applejack  
«If you make more money you should pay more in taxes.»  
Are you a lawmaker or a moralist.

@Background Human  
if a customer leaves a restaurant without paying, what do you do? you have a big guy at the door that will encourage you to pay up. Ever tried to shoplift or anything? Or just there, see something on craiglist, a nice barbecue the seller’s asking 50$ for. You load it on your truck, you think the guy will let you go?  
If you want to be in trouble that’s the way, not everyone calls the cops you know.

@Violet Rose in The Rain  
just imagine how it would be.  
«Sir, madam! I’m afraid to interrupt yeu but that’s just a control, may I ask you to provide your sexual service registration and loicense for this activity? No, this person isn’t your boyfriend but clearly a customer, he paid you by offering you a dinner.»

@Terminal Red  
>Privatise schools and make teaching a more competitive position by upping their pay  
and being all privatized they will have to join the competition and become affordable. Advantages being more safety, more focusing because parents PAY for it. safety is also a thing in private schools, children are your customers, the relation is completely different.  
Public schools really are about incorporating ideas and politic guidelines inside children. Teaching aboyut gender, diversity, making exposés on what you want to be or your own interests. That’s really bullshit. You’re here to at lest learn and prepare for getting a job. The basics, science, math, economy, technology.
 
That’s why the “american dream” is dead, it’s just the EU overseas.

>My guess is…yeah, they DON’T want pimping business to be legal. Which is weird.  
Because they need the moral approval from society. Feminists, religious and people calling out this is exploitation, also deterioration of relations in married couples. but better legalize and decriminalize prostitution than legalize drugs.
 
 
>I guess to them being legal means owing something to the govt and not having the freedom to run it how they want it to run.  
in this case, the government becomes the pimp, since they want to decriminalize to tax it. that’s the problem. The government becomes the one profiting from this business, generally women who have to sell their body to be able to eat, and the government wants to steal them the little bit they’re earning. As a customer, the only thing I expect the government is to ensure them safety. Not to be exploited or harassed, and if they are punched by a small dick psycho, they can sue them.  
Yes, they deserve safety, not as any business but as any person.
 
Imagine if selling commissioned art was with the same logic as the liberal leftists’ “legalize and tax” you would have to keep track of every commission you have done, declare the time spent working on it, disclose to the IRS or tax office everything: name of your customer, time active, how much you sold the commission, and they will ask to perceive VAT, and you to contribute like any business to pay up. You sell a commission 50, you earn about 25, 30-$ on it max.
 
everyone loses on that game.
 
no, seriously, get the government out of our fucking businesses. I have been fucked up a few times having to declare drawings and illustrations I have been commissioned for. Drawing for someone or even fixing a computer is considering black market shit; and it’s insane. Even the money given to a homeless man on the street would be subject to taxation.
 
@silbasa  
Always been, even people on the radio, on RTL a big one calls it “Chinese virus” just like there had a “Spanish flu” because COVID19 or coronavirus all kind of acronyms are meaningless.

@Wiimeiser  
huh? do you have a job? do you get paid? can you save money and/or buy or invest in what you want to own? you’re a capitalist. The rest is undecipherable so i guess not that important.
 
 
@Background Pony #A2C2  
Education as it is today is the radical opposite on how to become an independent business owner. my problem is with the jelly people who claims no one should be allowed to be rich, because they’ll never be or made the efforts to be.  
work hard, skip all the philo and moralism, find a thing to sell, commercialize it, grow your business, stop thinking what is right or wrong, the only right thing is to get revenues, invest in the things that will bring back money, have enough of a safety and you’re good. Find legal loopholes to avoid taxes crippling you by storing your money away from the taxmen (swiss, luxembourg, etc) buy things that value does increase, and whenever you can hire people to do the job for you, multiply it, hire 4, 8, 16, 32 persons well paid.
 
it’s a full time job and having rich parents does helps a lot. if you are a rich parent, you have the duty to help your children and grandchildren perpetuating this anyways.
 
the rest is really disney-tier bullshit that must be discarded.
 

 
@Ebalosus  
>black and brown people  
everyone can be a sex worker, nice way to start huh.  
>legalization  
>tax sex as work
 
this is again the difference between a socialist and someone who wants full freedom. same with weed:  
one wants “decriminalize, make it legal” the other want “legalize and tax, if you don’t pay tax, you’re a criminal”
 
isn’t that ironic to see the anticapitalists yelling at corporations, when the State becomes the biggest empire, voting laws to make you pay to do anything? explain that.

@Background Pony #A2C2  
It’s an advanced version of it, kind of how TV/media embellishes people like Bezos, Gates, Jobs, etc. like perfect winners or any stupid sockpuppet people who had a role on a film or a singing machine given a scripted opinion. This is just a tactic to sell more idiots a form of dream, like, “be like me, think like me” bullshit.
 
it’s all fucking artificial. Americans and the americanized watchers of thus kind of success stories are selling fucking dream. and thus causes teenagers and young adults to have goals they think they can achieve.
 
It ends in drugs. There, have your american dream.
 
@MagpulPony
 
I’d go further and come to believe that’s what forged their minds.
 
“pop culture”, in short.

@Dustcan  
you know, every billionaire, or even millionaire, or anyone with a salary, in fact had up and downs. that’s the bias of being fed by success stories on TV all the time, it does not includes the thousands of fuck-ups.
 
you know, it’s fiction. right?
 
Still, he has more money. Houses. And a fine plane. I don’t think that’s really the definition of a guy who lost anything. He could lose half his fortune in a divorce, it would not change a thing.

@Latecomer  
I start from the principle that every civilization / society can self-regulate, crime is punished in all cases. People inherently wants to leave in peace and stay safe, free. And counts for all species.
 
laws and government are just trying to keep it more fair but in the end, these principles remains.

@Latecomer  
Okay, if you really want to scrap the police, scrap also the whole government, let’s see what communities will develop without welfare in their little utopia, and which one will defend their property being now able to kill nyone trespassing or violating the non-agression principle.
 
You will quickly regret this move and want to go back to the time you could call the police or expect any form of justice than survival. Others won’t. Some people are preparing for this.
 
But again people have better things to do than doing the job of being their own militia, patrolling with machine guns in a world without law and its enforcement. That will be a serious mess, but sure thing ; Known pedos, rapists and drug dealers will be the first to get wiped without a trial. So…
 

 
Agreed, and that’s the point, still; the media loves to do cherrypicking stories portraying why cops are evil. It’s just bias and falsehood, throwing oil on the fire, giving a bunch of people the legitimacy of pretending being the victims, even if most who complain happen to be criminals.

@Princess Applejack  
Wars have always winners ans losers.
 
@DarkObsidian  
Speaking of.

@Violet Rose in The Rain  
if we’re here it’s to avoid this kind of morons who tend to forget that the cops are employees of the government.

«He’s a ‘war hero because he got captured. I like people who weren’t captured, ok?»  
haha, I never saw that video before, but he makes a point. Being captured isn’t a ticket to get labeled a “hero”.  
if you get captured, it’s better than being killed sure, but it’s not a victory and can happen also to both sides. Yes, hello! it’s called a war! But if you escape alive with your guys on your own, recovering from a failure then yes, that’s heroic. if he managed to do it, it’s good for him, otherwise you go with a prisoner exchange with the enemy and don’t forget to be polite with them.
 
(According to @Dissociation, american prisoners were well treated by communists, I still wonder if there’s any source backing this up)
 
Another great idea is not to take part on a conflict that you have nothing to do with it. Are American soldiers heroes for invading Iraq or Vietnam? No. Not as much as any country invading a sovereign nation for its own interests. You’re not heroes, you’re pieces of shit.
 
And if eventually you die on a conflict your country has initiated, well perhaps you should have thought about it twice prior to engage yourself.

@Background Pony #8382  
if you can back-up hearsays with evidence, that would be great but that’s at best anecdotal.
 
also who gives a fuck about McCain, a guy who sided with GWB.

@Latecomer  
like; human resources? highschool or college professor? usher, insurance expert, tax perceptor, psychanalyst, judge or journalist. Hell even the military at least have a role that’s more acceptable at certain tasks.
 
nah most just are evil and run for you wallet like every business, cops use the laws, other businesses use aggressive, convincing ads that have the same effect.
 
 
For the 1%, you have higher levels in the administration that allows you to report them, a few things I ignored before, cops does not work in a permanent team, it’s not «you and me we’re like Riggs and Murtaugh in Lethal Weapon okay?», two cops are designed so each cop can control what the other is doing, selected randomly all the time so they control eachother what the other is doing.  
Generally that’s the police doing that kind of actions since they are hired differently and are a different organization. and even them are patrolling in pairs, apart a few, the guy behind his radar controlling the speed on a nice spot, or the other one waiting to drop a ticket for your parking overtime.
 
even if now here it’s totally automatized, and performed by private contractors, thanks liberals!

@Latecomer  
there’s the same ratio of bad cops and good cops as in real life, just like there’s the same in any profession, you have doctors who don’t give a shit about their patients, you have firemen who pay themselves on house or shops that have been on fire, and cops who love to abuse their power getting a little extra «hey your taillight is broken»
 
Yes these people exist and will always exist, and that’s totally not my kind of stuff, it’s just that my country is a mess and wondered what I can do instead of whining on the internet about the government and all that.
 
@MagpulPony
