Dirty Hippies Whining For A Free Lunch

Hasbinbad, I think most people who could otherwise engage you in whatever sort of annoying debate actually choose not to because you are a dimwitted regurgitating turkey.

That's cool Jeremy, but I defy you to take one of my wall'o'texts and determine where exactly I regurgitated it from. Sure I post a lot of videos, pictures, essays, and websites that other people have created, but that part of my posting is simply intended to create awareness where there was none in the first place. Sure I post a lot of one liner ad hominem attacks as well, but those are obviously tongue in cheek; when I actually don't know enough to speak on a subject intelligently, I don't have a problem admitting that. I do my utmost not to use fallacious techniques to engage my opponents.

When I do speak on something, those are my own thoughts. Of course they are regurgitated from somewhere, as original thought is actually a fantasy since we all are simply products of a collection of perceptions and sensations, and all of our thoughts merely reactions to external stimuli. When I write, I am not directly quoting or paraphrasing, but rather drawing on my breadth of experiences to make a statement which is unique to how my brain works.

Attack what I'm saying all you want, but don't cheapen yourself by making things up that don't exist. If you don't like me, that's fine, but don't like me for something actual, not the prejudices you have about me.

People like this on the forums, yet I am the one on drugs. lulz.

So telling that despite all of the posts I've made, the best argument they can come up with is "HASBINBAD SPOILED AND ON DRUGS HERR DERR!!"

Rants and flames... Not the debate team based on moronic post. You posted a stupid vid in rant's and flames? That was your rant? Now we are clearly defining who you actually are. Because for the life of most people we can understand how someone can be so retarded... Now your ranting about the best argument we can come up with. Reputing the same conclusion we come up with for you , now your suggesting it to me... Cute come up with your own material bro rather than try to spin someone elses. Or can you not think for yourself? www.youtube.com and www.google.com go back to thinking you have a thought for yourself. Buddy...

Hasbinbad has never had an original thought pop into that drug-addled mush of a brain. He just remembers stupid shit he saw on youtube while high.

). At the World Bank, he served as Senior Vice President and Chief Economist (1997 – 2000), in the time when unprecedented protest against international economic organizations started, most prominently with the Seattle WTO meeting of 1999. He was fired by the World Bank for expressing dissent with its policies.[10] He was a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change where they caught frauding to make it seem man-mad global warming is a real thing (hint: our carbon footprint is so irrelevant)

One of the biggest problems is people really don't understand how screwed up the banking system in the US really is. And it's not screwed up the way the OWS people think - it's actually a very managed, controlled system that blends government and banks seamlessly by flipping basic human choice (economics) on its head, establishing a godlike figure with supreme monetary authority, and enforcing the state's currency as the ultimate arbiter.

That may sound overstated or verbose, but check this out:

http://pragcap.com/resources/underst...onetary-system

I don't agree with it as the ideal monetary system and I find it very freaking orwellian, but these people have described the US' current system very accurately (with a few exceptions). The notable exception I take with this view of the modern system is that they believe they can actually "drive" the economy with the banking system without crashing it. The history of central planning in general and centrally planning something that involves the whole money supply is a dark one. No human being is just or moral enough to deserve to control the world's money and currency in whatever way they choose, if they are even able (which I dispute).

The US doesn't operate under anywhere near the same system that the EU and everyone else use. We have the first true "fiat" currency, complete with floating exchange rates - everyone else operates under sane, reasonable systems that are still loosely connected to essential reality - i.e. you must come close to balancing your budget or risk debt crises, you must tax to obtain revenues, banks must have enough deposits to cover in case of bank runs, etc.

The US' system is not so. It is entirely experimental (past 40 years experimental, compared to other systems which are still tethered to stuff we have centuries and sometimes millenia of experience with) and most congressmen don't even realize what makes it different from the rest of the world. That's part of what makes it so dangerous. No one realizes how much power the Fed has since we closed the gold window and began issuing the world's currency. The rules of banking have literally been turned inside out, like a negative image - but somehow people aren't seeing that it's a negative. Once people realize how coercive and subject to human corruption it is, it'll probably be too late to alter it.

If this system were applied globally, the person or people at the helm would literally have the power to control the world. That's what is probably on the horizon, and OWS folks will ultimately support it because it will be sold as an entity subject to complete government regulation. They don't realize it will be virtually identical to the current banking system in the US, where the Government and the Fed work hand in glove.

You see, traditionally, individual human choice always overrides government or management. In time, it always wins - if through lots of blood and sacrifice. People defy management by an outside source intuitively, even if they absolutely desire to obey it. Eventually, systems which oppress or harm the individual at the behest of some "elite" group are overturned - and when that overturning begins, the violence of the system becomes apparent.

As is written in the link provided - "don't question the currency, or else." Countries that have tried to or successfully priced their oil in euros (a challenge to the dollar) have been met with severe hostility or even CIA attempted coups or interference in their countries.
