Good going North Carolina

The point is that the "benefits of the conditions here" don't just apply to people living within our country's borders. They extend to the peoples of the world when we are so generous with the bounty of our country. It's not required that we share that bounty, we do it because of who we are, and because we can. This isn't a difficult concept, Strum.
I think you have your "we's" and "us's" categorized differently than I do, but that's fine.
 
If our instinct to share were more dominant, we'd never need laws or leaders or churches.
Do the people in the location share everything and love unconditionally? THAT is what counts as best, to me.

Yes, these ideals sound awesome in theory - but they don't work in reality. You're right, it would be awesome if everyone were to share everything, and still produce as much to go around, evenly split among everyone.

However, humans are lazy. You wishing they weren't won't make it change. Take the scenario of a group of 100 people, who all produce 10 goods a day (earning $1 per good) at their normal capacity, and telling them that they'll evenly share the output and earnings. What incentivizes a person to produce an 11th or 12th good, if they're only going to get an extra penny or two? Conversely, what prevents them from scaling their production back to 5 goods a day, when it will only cost them 5 cents, and they'll still earn $9.95 for doing half the work?

This "share everything" mentality severely handicaps productivity due to lack of positive incentives, and introduction of negative incentives. And humans respond to incentives - whether you think that's a good thing or not, it's not going to change.

They absolutely work "in reality." They work in theory and reality. People do it all the time. It's just that ALL of us don't do it ALL of the time. It's pretty simple. Are you willing to do it? Am I? It's not some magical, unattainable dream.
 
Obviously, you failed to read the list of mental illnesses/disorders. I was actually referring to that because all of you have one and I was pointing out in a bullish, sarcastic way about erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation being one they most likely have from that list. I don't care how tiny, normal or big they are or how well they can work it because I would not want any of you for any reason in that way. Like you guys, I find what stings a little and use that to poke fun at you. You guys do it to me all the time. The difference is, I can take it and you guys apparently cannot. Good day sir.

Oopsy....I think I touched a nerve there.
And you must miss the irony in saying you can take it while your bunched panties post clearly demonstrates that you can't!

This stuff is hilarious!

I am keeping up. I agree that mega-wealthy people like him stir shit up.

That part about "his One World Order becomes reality" is paranoid hyperbole.
You need to read up on the Clinton Global Initiative (it is not hyperbole, it is in their mission statement as well). The UN is also working towards a one-world government and has for many, many years. Also, mega-wealth means nothing without the power to back it up. Has nothing to do with filthy rich, it has everything to do with power. There are many mega-rich in the world that do not aspire to control the world. Georgie certainly does and has since his goose-stepping days in Nazi Germany many moons ago. I can guarantee I am far from an outlier in this.

Goose-stepping with the Nazis? That was quite a feat, given he was between 10 and 13... oh, and JEWISH! I didn't know Nazis allowed Jews into their little groups.

Soros played a significant role in the peaceful transition from communism to capitalism in Eastern Europe (1984–89). Now, I dunno if that means he's a Nazi or what.

I do agree that with power and money and wealth comes change and the need to start wars and greed for conquest. Welcome to the party. The UN was intended to preside as Washington DC acts over the states. That way there are rarely wars between North and South Carolina.

In the rest of that poast that you quoted I showed you why it doesn't work in reality. If you want to choose to ignore that then fine.

What qualifies anything as a "mental disorder?" Being stubborn and crystallized in your thinking is a mental disorder to me. I simply supplied evidence that there is a majority that believe it's NOT a mental disorder. For all I know, the people deciding what is and what isn't have their own mental disorders. And, if it is a handicap, then we've made accommodations for other handicapped people, and they are in the extreme minority as well. I guess it's just the handicaps and disorders that people are sympathetic to that qualify.
what you posted is in no way evidence of a majority.
 
We're not the greatest because we win more wars and subjugate more people. WTF are you talking about? Talk about right out of left field. Good grief, man. I'm talking abut the fact that Soros promotes and perpetuates anything that will disrupt and bring American society down and pit Americans against each other (OBLM, Gender ID, Wealth Redistribution (except his, of course), Slave Reparations, The confederate flag brouhaha, etc.). The faster he can bring America down, the quicker his One World Order becomes reality. Try to keep up.
Soros has brought small countries to the edge of ruin by shorting their currencies. The day he draws his last breath will make the world a better place
 
It doesn't work in reality in terms of an entire society. It is like the whole 'veil of ignorance' philosophy. We could come up with ideals and rules that work perfectly regardless of status, creed, etc... Then greed and human nature would take over. That is reality.

You're correct it is reality BUT everyone is capable of it, they CHOOSE not to. ;)

It is all about choice, being kind or being a total shit, all a choice.... sadly a lot choose the latter.

Look for a while at the China Cat sunflower,
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun.
Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono,
Like a crazy quilt star gown through a dream night wind.

Crazy cat peekin' through a lace bandanna,
Like a one-eyed Cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack.
A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle,
To a double-E waterfall over my back.

Comic book colors on a violin river cryin' Leonardo,
Words from out a silk trombone.
I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls,
In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee.

Don't lie- you googled it- you don't know the song
Okay, I won't lie. I have known that song foorrrrrr, about 35 years, now? Believe it or not, I have known one or two, or maybe two-hundred-and-two Grateful Dead-heads in my lifetime. Not to mention, my oldest cousin names every dog he has ever had Jerry, or Phil, or Bob, or Pigpen.

Would you like a more detailed back-story?

I thought you were in a good mood?
