Minimum wage, overtime laws, the 40 hour work week, the Department of Labor, OSHA, NLRB, UAW, UFCW, just to name a few off the top of my head. I've been in the IWW for years, look in to their history. Hell, even the AFL-CIO, they're our classic enemies for a good while but even they are not the same as your average bootlicker. Communism has brought you all kinds of of comfortable things, you rotten baby. We'd still be working 100 hour work weeks if it wasn't for Communism. Hell, I'll say Communism's failed outright in America because of all kinds of factors. I'm not even a Communist but they're closer to what I like than anything I see in America today. We still have tipped workers, that's a remnant of slavery. Our minimum wage laws are a disgrace, they should be at least tripled federally And yet its failed lurches countered by capitalist forces at every turn bought you all these comforts, wonder what its successes would hypothetically look like But no, I am sure your distinctions will fall on the side of the worker rather than those who wield power. That's definitely how capitalism works | |||

I don't go to church, I don't pray much, none of my kids are baptized but I base my households rules and values on Christianity. My issues with religion are with the corruptions of man. The two can and should be separated. I do hope to find a community in the church but it hasn't happened yet, plenty of time for that. | |||

Yes, assume your opposition is ignorant. Great way to engage in debate. You won't hear me tell you Capitalism is perfect, not at all. It's obviously that at best it requires some very rigid rails to keep it on track. I'm all for new outlooks on the systems that govern us. Capitalism does seem to be the best version we have so far. At least parts of it, you know personal freedom, free-market and the value in the individual. You attribute way too much to Communism for my taste. 15h work days unless Communism killed 100 Million people? What's your proof of this? Saying tipping culture is a remnant of slavery is like saying farming is a remnant of slave culture. It's a joke and not a serious approach. Minimum wage should be tripled, that's utterly insane. The issue is the markets are not free, if the markets were actually free the wage issues would address themselves. See my comments from earlier about rails. | |||

The sermon in my opinion is just lessons on HOW to be a good person said 1000 different ways, sometimes with some humor or personal examples from people tossed in Not a big fan of rituals such as Communion. I understand the meaning/significance, but it still feels like just going through pointless motions to me For single men or women, most Christian churches have singles groups after by certain 10yr age ranges. I got connected to a hiking group and made a lot of friends years ago that way Church gives a good feeling of belongingness and feeling connected to a community in person. If someone can get that some other way though, more power to them. I think in this era more people are increasingly disconnected due to only interacting online, however | |||

Churches r kewl. What do u do with eunuchs who just want to train the way of the blade and look good while doing so? I always find Churches not up to my standards.
