Er... no. "Free" != "paid for by the taxpayers".Funk N. Furter wrote:It would be free in that you wouldn't need money for it. You would just walk into a restaurant and get fed without having to hand over money. This is a basic socialist policy. Free like the healthcare I had yesterday at the Eye Hospital. I didn't need any money. It's just provided - free.
This is one the major crippling factors in socialist theory. All socialists ? Human race.Funk N. Furter wrote:The human race. I am a socialist, ie a communist.
Technically, you're not an expert on anything except parroting socialist drivel and spamming forums with your irrelevant links.Funk N. Furter wrote:Technically, what you are saying is what we experts call "bullshit". There is enough food in the world to feed everyone.
No it isn't. Prove it.Its a basic fact.
To grow food requires time and energy. These are what are known as "costs". Be specific in explaining how we would grow more food to meet the nutritional needs of the global population, and explaining what opportunity costs such an endeavor would entail.Not sure what you mean by specific.
... and quite the functional retard to boot, apparently.The human race. I am a socialist, ie a communist.

I think the recent reports about Tesco [UK's largest supermarket] binning 30,000 tonnes of food in six months suggests there is plenty of food to go around. I just thought I'd mention it as you're a fan of governmental incompetence and mismanagement. Oh wait, this is a corporate...

...food which was produced by capitalism. Socialism can't produce shit. Seriously, ask an expert, and all you'll hear is "we don't do economics or wha'effah, but trust us, there'll be food aplenty, like, yo mama so fat she must live in a socialist utopia".lowshelf wrote:I think the recent reports about Tesco [UK's largest supermarket] binning 30,000 tonnes of food in six months suggests there is plenty of food to go around.

Er, no. If it's paid for then by definition, it's not free. You new to the English language, perchance?Funk N. Furter wrote:The NHS is paid for by taxes, yes. But it's still free
True. However, others -- hard-working citizens -- were forced to pay in order to cover your lazy, broke ass. Doesn't seem particularly fair to me.I didn't have to pay yesterday when I went to the hospital.
