That's not what Michael Moore just said in that docu I just watched. He says you guys have peachy keen healthcare. So who's lying, you or him? :P

The Corporation. Thanks for that reminder. I've been wanting to see that and just added it to my Netflix queue. Sweet.

The Smartest Guys in The Room is also well worth seeing. Rented it once and watched it twice in a row. Riveting shit.

this statement boggles me. sure, i understand the underlying sentiment, but it's still bullshit. people who do not want/cannot care for children that they have... that's what the world does not need. the world doesn't need fascist blanket statements like this either. some people make a conscious decision to have children, to love and nurture, and *try* to help them to become productive members of society/humanity. some people consciously decide not to have children, for worthwhile (and valid) reasons for them. for either side to imply that their decision is what's right for the other is appalling. *if* humanity is so advanced, and kings of our world, then safe, smart sex is what the world needs, not mindless fucking without thought of consequence. and if we humans really are just another animal in the ecosystem, well, apparently the amount of babies is exactly what we need. nature will sort this out, trust that.

there was a ray of light in the corporation; they can change, but it takes a superhuman effort and will, that most dont have...
BUT SOME DO.
I've lived my working life doing things i enjoy, thats art and djing. now i'm giving up the djing because my ears have taken a beating, and finding a new line of work is proving hard, well making the decision on what i want to do now is hard.
i dont want to work in a job that makes me feel bad, so i think i want to work with kids cos i like em. (god even saying that with no innuendo sounds dodgy these days :( ) its easy to get stuck in something mind/soul numbing, and even some of the clubs i worked were pure money laundering dens, or cleaning drug money. so i guess its about finding what you're prepared to do to survive, and how much your morals/ principles/mindset help or hinder on that ride.
but yeah its hard sucking satans cock at the best of times let alone when they start spit roasting you for a job well done. :evil: :twisted: 8)

I'll guess that your a dad? You fixation on the intent of the parent here is not even relevant to my interpretation of the worlds "more humans" policy. I must have got your goose and unapologetically declare my enjoyment for that. I have a direct line to the world and after many talks and all things considered I think the fact remains "The world don't NEED -key word! fussy pants- more babies. With babies being the variable in the statement. For extra fun try replacing babies with a racial or lifestyle slur familiar to you... then compose and deliver your dissertation to anyone who you feel comfortable crying with. Opera perhaps?

Sorry this is the first time I've ever laid into someone here and I must admit I can see why it happens so much. It's a little bit fun.

The world don't need needs.

I work 44 hours a week doing telemarketing, this is the closest I have ever been to to hell. I'm desperately trying to find something else. I would be incredibly happy if i could work only 40 hours and pay my bills. My productivity would increase drastically if that where the case. As it is right now all I do is record drums on the weekends, then I spend what little time I have left coming up with guitar and bass over the course of the week after work. The unemployment rate in Miami is now 9.5, pretty much everyone I know is unemployed. So much for finishing school... Anyway if you work only 40 hours and you don't have to sell shit to people then you have nothing to complain about. Anybody know about any non fear based job in miami let me know... :(

Corporations are a 400 year old fascist concept, they are legally chartered to exploit people and the environment.

This documentary is really disturbing, especially if you have children in your life in any way (your own children, nieces & nephews, etc.). If you are a parent you really ought to be in possession of this information. A lot has changed since I was in grade & high school:

Man, I always seem to get into these discussions too late. By the time I get Tone riled up, I'm back in the studio working on music. Wish i wasn't so busy making music. :roll: Sorry your popcorn was wasted Neb.
