Race to 9001

[BillyMc]

<p>

Do you seriously believe people are dying on the streets of America? Have you ever volunteered at a homeless shelter?

Some are, though not nearly as many as in other lands. This country has it better than most; those who have it better by quality of life might number some 20 among 200. I do know that people here hunger, people here freeze, people here die for want of medicine they did not receive because a massive corporation deemed them unfit for the paid privilege to life. However, the Revolution is for all of humanity, and some people have it horribly worse. It is for they that we will rise.</p>

<p>

I find all of these conditions to be very dubiously met by your particular beliefs about the state (pun intended) of America
the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;
all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;
there must be serious prospects of success;
the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power as well as the precision of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.

1.) The damage done by the rich to the poor of all nations, lands, and countries is grave, it is certain, it is deadly, it is oppressive, and it has been so since the dawn of human civilization.</p>

<p>2.) Reform cannot be used properly. Most of the world is not democratic; those countries that do have some form of political democracy are still controlled by a power elite. In the US, the economic oligarchy of the rich will not allow for the destruction of class divides. We cannot reform Darfur into being able to provide for its citizens; even if we could, it would take so long that many millions more would die. Many billions around the world live in oppression and die in misery. All avenues for stopping this hitherto pursued have miserably failed; it is time for Revolution.</p>

<p>3.) Revolution has an infinitely greater prospect for success than doing nothing. Given the force wielded by the poor, Revolution would be simple if enough had the will. History has shown us what an oppressed and inspired poor population can do to a government in power. Now it must be done again, but followed by a true liberation.</p>

<p>4.) Billions live in poverty. Approximately 13,698 human being starve to death each and every day, not even counting those who die from complications arising from malnutrition. Not counting those oppressed and slain by the rich in countless other ways. The destruction of poverty cannot be matched by Revolution.</p>

<p>So we will have our Revolution; no man will live in wealth while any other lives in poverty.</p>

<p>

^^Not to mention your story of a rich man, shouldn’t you pity a rich man more than a poor one if it is more difficult for him? You become what you hate the most. The rich man in that story clearly is not just a wealthy man, but also a prideful man. Wealth can be used for good or evil. When you elevate yourself above those who have wealth with socialism and this “rEvolution”, you are no better than the prideful man.

The man’s sin was his wealth; it came between him and God. Wealth can be used for good, but so long as someone retains what is more than their share, it is an evil. Further, wealth is built upon the backs of the poor, and thus evil.</p>

<p>why is this game not on ESPN3?</p>

<p>What game is this?</p>

<p>Are you a fan of one of these teams?</p>

[meadow36]

<p>I really want to get 1000.</p>

[lordfarquaad]

<p>I would like to be a part of this!</p>

[mathsciencedude]

<p>Silly Billy, Trix is a top-selling cereal brand!</p>

<p>I would rather talk about the U.S. since I think this is a better form of government than socialism (I think neither anarchy nor socialism is a better form of government than socialism). The Catholic church only requires that sick people be given the basic necessities (food and water). Everyone must die eventually. </p>

<p>I find that you are not terribly specific about the way in which you hope to accomplish this revolution as you merely reiterate buzz words (hope and change anyone?). You dream of this action of revolutionizing but not the later equilibrium, an awful blunder. You have not given reasons why there should be an equilibrium instead of a steady decline of quality of life into anarchy and another revolution. Perhaps you would be disturbing the current equilibrium, and thus making the world worse leading to not only the deaths of the evil rich but also the innocent poor, or rather newly mediocre citizens (Thank you socialism!!!).</p>

<p>You want the poor to rule, but then they would make everything equal, right? Then they wouldn’t be poor anymore? Again, you live in the action of revolutionizing not the afterward equilibrium. Unintended consequences they call it in economics.</p>

<p>Also, wealth is not a constant. You claim it to be so that you can say poor people become poorer when the rich become richer. Clearly not true since our whole world has at least the quality of life of Ancient Greece.</p>

[mathsciencedude]

<p>Yeah, I’m not getting 1000 because it’s time for sleep.</p>

<p>Do you know nothing about the NBA, Billy?</p>

[Hovito]

<p>Billy seems to know nothing about anything. lol</p>

[meadow36]

<p>Can we please save the 1000th post for the afternoon. It would be more convenient for me.</p>

I would rather talk about the U.S. since I think this is a better form of government than socialism (I think neither anarchy nor socialism is a better form of government than socialism).

Socialism is an economic ideology, not a political one. For socialism to function properly, it must be joined with democracy. Socialism is opposed to capitalism; communism, as a democratic economy, is more compatible with true democracy than capitalism. Of course, if the system works for you, you are less likely to think it wrong.</p>

<p>

The Catholic church only requires that sick people be given the basic necessities (food and water). Everyone must die eventually.

Look up social justice. However, I do not need my Church to tell me whether or not to rise; my morality does that. The Church does not oppose my view. The words of Christ compliment a socialist/communist view.</p>

<p>

I find that you are not terribly specific about the way in which you hope to accomplish this revolution as you merely reiterate buzz words (hope and change anyone?).

An organized, disciplined, and dedicated group beginning with protests, resistance, theft from the rich to feed the poor. Add people planning, people speaking, people inspiring, people resisting, and others will be drawn to it. Seeing the worst of the rich being stolen from for no purpose but to help the poor has a historical precedent of winning the poor over. Several countries are/will be on the brink of revolution; some aid and conversion from socialists can aid in their resistance and eventual government.</p>

<p>However, I am going to college to study history to discover how to go about this; obviously I don’t know it all now.</p>

<p>

You dream of this action of revolutionizing but not the later equilibrium, an awful blunder. You have not given reasons why there should be an equilibrium instead of a steady decline of quality of life into anarchy and another revolution. Perhaps you would be disturbing the current equilibrium, and thus making the world worse leading to not only the deaths of the evil rich but also the innocent poor, or rather newly mediocre citizens (Thank you socialism!!!).

Once a provisional government takes over to ensure democracy and communism are established, public projects must begin at once. Full labor mobilization to renovate cities, repair infrastructure, produce goods, grow crops, produce clean energy, advance science, and sustain society. When infrastructure is established and agriculture/production consolidated all over the world, united human effort would then be directed in one direction: the exploration and colonization of space. The expansion of the human race beyond the Earth is necessary for its survival. Of course, it would also serve to motivate humanity to a common end, give us a reason for continued production and economic motion, and provide for the eventual alleviation of the population problem.</p>

<p>

You want the poor to rule, but then they would make everything equal, right? Then they wouldn’t be poor anymore? Again, you live in the action of revolutionizing not the afterward equilibrium. Unintended consequences they call it in economics.

All humanity must rule; after Revolution, there ought not be any involuntary poverty. The workers will rule the economy, all humanity will rule their destinies.</p>

<p>

Also, wealth is not a constant. You claim it to be so that you can say poor people become poorer when the rich become richer. Clearly not true since our whole world has at least the quality of life of Ancient Greece.

See most of Africa, much of Asia, and parts of Latin America. They do not have the quality of life of Ancient Greece. Further, Ancient Greece had one of the highest qualities of life of its time. Even if economics wasn’t a zero-sum game, it would take too long to produce enough wealth for everyone to have enough while allowing the rich to remain rich. Look at the past ten thousand years. Still, millions starve, still the poor suffer, still, too many die.</p>

<p>

Do you know nothing about the NBA, Billy?

Most of the rules of the game. But not whether this is some sort of special game or any other reason that you might care about this if you weren’t a fan or one of the teams.</p>

<p>And “doubletime” was a labor joke.</p>

[Hovito]

<p>LOL that’s pretty sad if you don’t know when the NBA playoffs take place. It’s being advertised all over the internet/tv</p>

[BillyMc]

<p>Not on the TV channels or websites I frequent. As far as sports go, I’ll generally follow boxing, football, and baseball, to some degree.</p>
