Your rambling. Get your ideas clear in your head and try again.

[biry0501]

@Goohuman Sorry you couldn't follow.

[thefdaisreallystupid]

I am curious to see the correlation between the development of new technologies and the implementation of either liberalism or conservatism. Any thoughts on this? Please reply.

[biry0501]

@thefdaisreallystupid The point was that people who live in suburban lifestyles get more conservative with age—city people do not follow that same trend. With fossil fuels on the decline people will have to live closer together. As that happens, people will move to the left as tehy get older.

I have to say that I am the same, I became more of a leftist as I got older. Although I am moderately leftist. I support the free market, but with a regulated currency and a fair tax system.

The main problem with the likes of Lee Doren is that they tend to defend unregulated capitalism based on nothing but social inertia. The idea that because capitalism worked centuries ago when the population was tiny and there was no health & safety laws, then it must still work now. Well, it simply doesn't.

[biry0501]

@ec123456789able Mr. Doreen and those like him ascribe to an ideology with totality. They do to capitalism what Trotsky and Lenin did to socialism. Such a quest for ideological purity always ends in disaster. And I am not sure that raw capitalism has ever worked for more than just a very few people in a society—and never will—just as with other proposed system. So I agree, we need a mixed economy.

I haven't met anyone on the left who is as ideological as on the right...

[biry0501]

@Tsugua21 Okay, thanks for that. Now that you got that out of your system, do you have something worth writing to say?

[xcvsdxvsx]

Say i create a product, people line up to give me 20 dollar bills for it because my product is worth more than 20 dollars to them and i give them the products because the 20 dollars is worth more to me than my product, which, by the way, means society as a whole has become more wealthy. Please explain to me what gives you the right to send thugs to my house and take what i have earned at gun point.

Poster, fisrt get out of your head the notion of "Green" energy. This is a complete fairy tail. It takes gigawatts of brown energy to crate one megawatt of green. Also "green" energy is not without finite and resources . Additionally the Green movement is scitzoid. First they want wind power then oppose wind farm construction. As for global warming now called climate change has nothing to do with mankind. In science you do not create a theory and try to find evidence to prove it.

[schoenhausen1]

Very good points! I had never thought about how suburbia makes us more conservative and stupid. I think you have a point that when suburbia dies, which it will because it is TOTALLY unsustainable, we will become a less sociopath country.

[Goohuman]

@biry0501 I can follow just fine. I'm just not going to waste my time listening to you meander aimlessly through loosely connected ideas. Try writing an outline. That works for me.

biry0501 In regards to electric cars. Right now in the US most of our electricity is WASTED during the night time. It's more economical to keep them running as a result 80% of the US cars could be powered with existing plants charged at night. That also doesn't take into account how many people could charge cars with alternative energy. I have a stream by my house if I put a generator on it, I could power a car off the grid. The only issue is the cost of electric / hybrid cars.

[TheZoonib]

biry0501 you are assuming the guy you posted to this reply to is not lying. Many young Republicans will try to work their way up the Political ranks by getting exposure. They will talk about false regurgitated talking points that are proven false. Watch "Gasland" where many states blocked corporate drilling due to dishonest and dangerous practices by a free market corporation (Halliburton)

[edwardkarl]

I really wanted to listen to your whole video, but you talk too softly. Even with my laptop speakers all the way up I can barely hear you. Please speak up!
