Pro-illegal freaks at Columbia U at it again.

Again, all you're disputing is the reasoning behind the oppression, rather than the existence thereof. The fact that they were born into it is really irrelevent. The point is that there were a few extremely rich people at the head of society holding most of the money and oppressing the rest. That's what Marx was against. What you're pointing out is the fact that there were less social classes then than now due to the lesser resources -- instead of upper, upper middle, middle, lower middle, working class, and working poor, back then it was basically the bourguise and the proles -- which is EXACTLY what I pointed out earlier, and why Marx beleived in the class war that was upcoming.

People should all be responsible to the point where anarchy is possible. Unfortunately, they're not. In part due to the brainwashing that the government mandates they're given from birth.

Yep, they are brainwashed into believing government interventions in the free market such as OSHA, the minimum wage, the Civil Rights Act of 1965 are neccessary, This is done by such actions as teaching the robber baron myth to impressionable youngsters.

Why can't it be the political left that has exploited minorities to the brink of mortification? Trivialized our miniscule border patrol? Then abusing our overtly generous welfare institution?


If you're talking about Democrats, sure. They suck.

Since we, as Americans, have to tiptoe around ****ing shitheel Muslims because of political correctness;

Tipetoe around? We're coming close to violating international rules of war, such as the Geneva Convention. In addition to lessening our civil rights. We're becoming rather repressive due to 9/11. The only possible way you can say we're "tiptoeing" is the fact that we aren't outright saying "Let's kill all Muslims." There's still plenty of racial profiling and the like going on. It's just not quite as bad as, say, the anti-Japanese hysteria back in WW2 or the communist hysteria during the 50's.

why is it so hard to believe that the foundations laid by neo-commie/ultra-liberal establisments, like the ACLU, has weakened the country's utmost important goal. Which is, national security, and this can only be achieved by thwarting this ****ing leviathan with a harpoon.


Actually, I don't tend to beleive much of the reasons for going to war. I don't think The Patriot Act and other such conventions are making us any safer. Same with the war in Iraq. I think it's dangerous to place national security above civil liberties. That's how the Nazi occupation of Germany came to fruition.

Strengthen our country's resolve by enforcing the laws of the land.

Then again, the neo-cons have figured it best to concentrate their efforts in Iraq and forego the squabbles of the petty poor citizens.


"Concentrate" their efforts as in waste their efforts for oil and an excuse to limit the youth population, gaining extra money, in addition to spreading American imperialism. All while the true Jihadist hotspots are handled with relative kid gloves.

You're ... Against minimum wage??? You do realize that without guidelines like minimum wage, poverty would vastly increase and a few major corporations would end up with virtual monopolies on almost every aspect of life, correct? As for the Civil Rights act, depends which part you mean. I don't see how a sane person could support having to pay taxes to vote. OTOH, a literacy test being required isn't so bad.

Of course, voting is really a waste of time, given it's mostly the same people running things behind the scenes with the same agendas regardless of who you vote for ...

You are truly ignorant of economics. The vast majority of working adults make more than the minimum wage. Once again I ask you...Would you support a minimum wage of $200 an hour. Let me tell you why you should not. It would result in massive unemployment and inflation. The effect of any effective minimum wage would be inflation and unemployment. The reason minimum wage increases have never resulted in excessive inflation and employment is there has never been an effective minimum wage increase. The minimum wage has always been lower than what the vast majority of working adults earn. In other words the free market has already raised the wages of adults then stinking pinko liberals come in and try to claim their little ****ing minimum wage bills have created the increased wages. Of course you are stupid when inferring lower wages would reduce competition. Lower wages reduce barriers to entry and therefore increase competition. Please..educate yourself. I am tired of debating with ignoramouses.

Sadly, our minimum wage laws have harmed the most vulnerable workers,

Minimum Wage Harms Entry-Level Workers
A number of economists are coming to the conclusion that minimum wage hikes disadvantage minority teens and those with low skill levels trying to get a foothold in the U.S. labor market.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman says the minimum wage is one of the "most anti-black laws on the statute books."

Economist Walter Williams, who is black, warns that the wage floor "is one of the most effective tools in the arsenals of racists everywhere."

Government data show that black and white teenage unemployment rates in 1948 were about the same -- 9.4 percent black and 10.2 percent white.

But as the minimum wage rose in the 1960s and 1970s, the unemployment rate for blacks roughly doubled compared with whites -- to 37.7 percent for black teens by 1980, compared to 18.5 percent for white teens.

According to the Employment Policies Institute, 215,000 additional jobs for teens should have been created in 1995, but the minimum wage hike that year killed them -- a 3.5 percent drop in job opportunities.

This job cancellation hit black and Hispanic teens hardest -- opportunities fell by 9 percent and 3.8 percent for these groups, respectively.
According to U.S. Chamber of Commerce statistics, when Congress raised the minimum wage in 1989, the proportion of black teens who had jobs fell by 12 percent. While blacks comprised only 15.3 percent of all youngsters age 16 to 19, they suffered 30 percent of the job losses.

"Most working adults" STARTED at minimum wage and worked their way up. If you're not making enough to support your education or carreer training around your late teens and early twenties, all that goes down the crapper. Think before you post.

Um, no. If companies can hire newbs for as little as they want, all across the country, that would result in less and less people being able to pay their way towards career training, thus less new businesses and higher poverty rates.


In any event, while what you're mentioning is technically true, the scenario of a $200/p/h minimum wage is such an exaggeration that it strips your post of all meaning. What I'm talking about is have A minimum wage so that Wal-Mart, Coca Cola, and Ford can't suddenly decided that they want everyone to work for $1/p/h unless they're experienced.

Regardless of the flame-oriented direction this thread wandered off too, I do plan to eventually check out these books you speak of. I'm open to hearing new perspectives, and I've paid less attention to economic debates than social structure and foreign policy. However, I'm also planning to read Howard Zenn's own writings on economics, among others'. I expect that the books you recommend will be biased, same as what I'm planning to read right now. I doubt I'm going to agree with either side on everything.

Blanket statement. Are you saying that ALL Americans are peachy keen perfect little angels, superior to Mexicans or people of other countries by their very nature?
No I'm not. Many Americans suck, true. BUT, they are Americans. To have alien invaders shitting all over my country pisses me me off. And it should you to.
Did you come up with that all by yourself, or did your Imperial Wizard mama help you out?

HAIL SATAN!! and what not.
Um, again, CIVIL UNIONS. Name of marriage is protected, but gays are allowed the same rights as married couples by making a similar commitment. Everything you just said is an irrelevant dodge of this simple solution to the problem.
Until two men or two women figure out how to impregnate each other, they don't need to be in a marriage/civil union. Like I said before. Once we climb the slippery slope of redefining marriage, we will see all sorts of crazy requests enter the fray. And why not? Pedophiles and polygamist, hey why can't I marry my pitbull, we're in love?
No, I said it in condemnation of places that hire them en masse and treat them like early 19th century workers to save some bucks from hiring people who are qualified. Wal-Mart, for instance.
What is it you don't get buddy? They are literally dying to come here and do this.
It sounds like all you hear is "you're with all us Americans or you're with them damn dirty Mexicans." You don't acknowledge the complexities of the issue.
Its not a complex issue. Its made that way through the liberal political wrangling. Its a simple problem. Mexicans coming here by the millions overwhelming us with their exported issues. Gain entry through the proper ports with the proper documentation. Learn the language. And there ya go, your an American. Viola!
If you really believe all Mexicans fit your sterotype any more than all Americans fit the stereotype I mentioned, you're truly a fanatic on this issue.
Typical liberal BS! I have already acknowledged the presence of good AMERICAN-Mexicans. I have never met an illegal immigrant that doesn't fit the description I provided.
If all of Mexico was as you say, why do so many Americans flock to Cancun every year for Spring Break?
Step 10 feet outside the designated tourist location and you'll witness the depravity of Mexican people. Actually American tourist cause alot of problems in Mexico with their drunken idiocy. BUT, Americans don't go there to live for two years and send 75% of their income back across the border.
Are you saying that ALL Americans are peachy keen perfect little angels, superior to Mexicans or people of other countries by their very nature?
I never claimed such a thing. Lots of Americans suck, sure. BUT they are Americans. It doesn't make their actions right. But it does at the very least make it OUR problem. Illegals bring THEIR problems here. We have enough issues, and we don't need more to add. This is at the heart of my view. How can we, as Americans, take care of our own issues if millions of spics are adding to the social problems here in America?
 
So why did the followers of Marx i.e. Lenin, Mao. Pot, Castro result to tolitarianism when they came to power? A simple question to answer. Let me quote Marx;

The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.

Private property is what our founding fathers labeled a natural right. In fact the primary purpose of government is to protect lives and property. Wherever property rights are weak you will find widespread poverty. People will always desire private property that is why tolitarian means are needed to severely restrict property rights. Marx's ideas require tolitarian means to carry it out.

Let us contrast Marx's quote with two of Locke's

Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.

Government has no other end than the preservation of property.

One man's ideas led to prosperity and liberty the other's to poverty and slavery. Good intentions be damned it was Marx who stated "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." One of the rare times he was correct on anything.

As I've stated, I support stricter border policies (although coupled with a smaller wait time for legal immigration) However, I don't assume that EVERY person who's illegally immigated does so for the same reason or is trying to "destroy America." Likewise, there ARE plenty of legal immigrants. You seem to see anyone who's Hispanic in America and automatically assume they're both illegal and here to cause trouble. Maybe it's because of where you live or something, but your views are very narrow-minded.

Speaking of which, your post is slightly ironic, given that people of European descent, like you and me, forced their way into this country and subjected the previous inhabitants to some of the greatest oppression in history.


Jhony5 said:

Um ... Envitro-fertilization? Sperm doners? But are you implying that people shouldn't be allowed to marry or form a "civil union" unless they're going to have kids? That's quite a totalitarian idea, if it's what you're thinking.


Jhony5 said:

Hence civil unions. A specific term is designated for what they're doing that DOESN'T redefine marriage. Marriage remains a religious ceremony between a man and a woman, but gays have their own deal that gives them the same rights.

As for polygamists, if everyone's consenting, I don't see why not.


Pedophiles and people into beastiality are another discussion. Personally, I'm against the strict sex laws we have now (unless there's clear exploitation, e.g. an 8 year old molested by a 40 year old, in general I don't buy into the "you're physically incapable of consenting until you're 18" crap), but these things are illegal and involve the debate over whether the animals or youngsters are capable of consenting.


Jhony5 said:

Some of them, yes. Most of which being the ones living in the slums who could die soon if they don't move. Which I guess speaks on Mexico needing to work on its ghettos. But that doesn't change the fact that it's shitty when companies hire mass numbers of illegals for low wages to cut bills, rather than hire qualified applicants.


Jhony5 said:

It's simple in the fact that people are crossing the border. But the way they should be defined is more complex than your views.

Wrong. Marx assumed that the people themselves would carry out his beleifs without government assistance, then the classless society would make its own non-oppressive order. The reason why his followers became totalitarian has nothing to do with his own views -- it has to do with Lenin. After Lenin, the other "communists" followed HIS theories. You make it sound like each communist leader interpretted Marx in their own way, which is bullshit. Lenin used Marx's beleif in a classless society as an excuse to form a dictatorship, then other would-be dictators followed in his footsteps. Simple as that.

Actually, this sounds like the property he's speaking of is the human body itself.

This, OTOH, is clear-cut. And I agree with Locke's views for the most part.




hugo said:

I don't think "liberty" in the truest sense is found in much of the world. It's all varying degrees of oppression, though we have it pretty good on the world's scale over here.


hugo said:

Sure, but it was Lenin's views in particular that led to what you speak of. And capitalism DID lead to slavery, before Leninist communism did, in fact. Leninist communism also led to prosperity in Russia, making it for a time one of the world's only two super-powers. Of course, the cost for that power was a highly oppressive totalitarian shithole.


Anyway, I agree that Locke's ideas were more accurate than Marx's. That was never an issue. The issue was the ignorant lumping together of Marx's ideas with Lenin's.
 
First: what do you consider capitalism? Slavery was around along time before democracy. So was capitalism.
Second: you state that capitalism started slavery but you said you had highly oppressive totalitarian shitholes. I believe oppression and slavery is the same thing. These statements are contradictory.
Third: the classless society would make its own non-oppressive order? How do you get a classless society from Marxism? There have always been separate classes in Marxisim.


Class:
Marx believed that class identity was configured in the relations with the mode of production. In other words, a class, is a collective of individuals who have a similar relationship with the means of production (as opposed to the more common-sense idea that class is determined by wealth alone, ie. high class, middle class, poor class).

Marx describes several social classes in capitalist societies, including primarily:


Leninist communism also led to prosperity in Russia, making it for a time one of the world's only two super-powers.

Please explain how Leninis communism led to prosperity.

You will always have a bottom rung on the ladder. These people will be oppressed.

If you want to be married with children then don't be a faggot. Rules of life. Get over it. Marriage is for men and women, mutually. This "civil union" bullshit is simply a way for fags to cry about feeling left out.
Where do you live?
Indianapolis, and It's infested with the immigrant menace. I am constantly confronted at work (I'm a manager for a major grocery chain) with idiot illegals that get pissed off when I can't provide them with a translator for their questions. It happens several times weekly. A spic will approach me with his/her food stamp voucher in hand, speaking garbledy gook. Pointing at the government provided freebie stamps in their hand and saying some Chinese sounding bullshit. As soon as they realize I don't give a ****, they get all pissed because I can't speak Mexicanese. Its not my problem. Its their problem. Once I had to call the sheriff because I had a whole gaggle of piss drunk Mexicans in my store at 4am trying to buy beer. They didn't understand the local liquor laws prohibiting sales after 3am, or rather they didn't understand the language I was speaking (silly me:rolleyes: ). The drunks were refused service. So they go out into the parking lot and do donuts in their van until the sheriff arrives. They had 9 copies of the same fake greencard. All with the same picture and name. This is not an isolated incident. **** like this happens several times a week.
No, but your posts sure did have a lot of implications of America's inherent superiority. Or at least that's how they came across.
IT IS WHAT IT IS!!! Go ahead and say that America IS NOT superior to Mexico in every way. Go on? Racist statement? Or simple blunt truth?
Did you miss WAAAAAAAAY back at the beginning where I said that I support an increase in border security? It was your generalizations of Mexicans as a whole that I disagreed with.
Border security isn't what I'm directly worried about. Its the bastards that live here in Indy that are ****ing up my groove. Border security doesn't do squat to address the millions of invaders that have planted foot on my turf. Yes, there are more on their way, thousands everyday. BUT. But there are millions of illegals, criminals by default, they are lobbying our political system for rights to our land, to our freedoms. To them I say clearly. Mother****er, GET OUT! Tolerance is a poison. A blackened cancer that is eating at our land.

So go on feeb. Tolerate two big bear looking men standing at the alter in leather chaps. Tolerate illiterate criminal immigrants sucking our resources dry. Tolerate it because Its politically correct to do so. Its the nice thing to do.

Nice guys finish last.
