Malaysia to abolish unpopular security law
Quote:
It will be very interesting to see how my government will respond over the following days. If Malaysia can do this, why can't we? |

Personally, I believe the ISA is there for a reason - to contain radicals and retards should there be insufficient evidence at that moment to hold them. Sure as the ruling parties had nothing better to do in the past 2-3 decades and thus abuse them, the ISA still has to be around because it is a security wildcard - it is better to have one random piece to play than have no cards to play.

Analysis: Bachmann vaccine comments toxic, doctors say
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/...78E5YM20110915 To be honest, thoses than belive that ''headache-inspired'' lunatic are more likely to belive already than vaccine are dangerous.

This is by far the most easily digestible explanation by Peter Joseph as to why our system needs a complete overhaul. Hopefully, people all over the world will begin to understand why technological unemployment is real and the jobs are not coming back.

We're pretty much developing our way out of work and the means to survive (somewhat hyperbolic statement, amg!). Between that and the way jobs most of us CBF'd doing are being sent to nations that still appreciate the ideal of doing what is needed to get food on the table you could say the first world nations are digging their own graves in the rush to make a buck. I know people that have stayed on Welfare because planting tree's or picking up rubbish is beneath them. Too much self entitlement on our part maybe?
Needs more cashless society like Star Trek imo (as impossible as it is).

The Star Trek quip was somewhat tounge in cheek. But what other expansion is there (I mean that seriously cause I'm coming up blank ATM)? Keeping in mind that any repetitive task that can be sucessfully automated will get that treatment, likewise if it's cheaper to outsource elsewhere. Those two are pretty big things to overcome. Even if we did have a cashless society or something so that outsourcing wasn't necessary the automation side of things wouldn't be gotten around if only because of pure efficiency (nevermind anything else like say automated cleaning robots or something). Expanding into space would be totally awesome though. But it really needs to change from being the domain of scientists and the military (I'd say that's one of the biggest reasons for public interest dropping in space programs, it's just not accessible to the common man). It'd be awesome to see space expansion that average folks can get in on - admittedly I'd expect there would have to be some big education changes though. I am in a slightly pessimistic mood today I guess.
Apologies for the format/tone wrote that on my phone which is disjointing.

That guy wasted 16.21 of my life spouting the obvious and beating around the bush. It is either he is a confidence trickster, or he is a very lousy conman. Screw the street performances. Use the time to grow potatoes in our backyard - at least there is a chance to have something to eat.

Technological advancement has surpassed the point (in fact it did this several decades ago) where it is by far more efficient and productive to automate rather than employ. To put this another way: you'll be much more likely to be employed for space travel if you have a higher education in the sciences than you would as a manual laborer or service employee. You can see this right now actually, by looking at Defense: despite the size of the military industrial complex and how much money is poured into it, it isn't exactly setting record employment numbers. You simply don't need the labor force that you used to. At some point society is going to have to paradigm shift. The system relies on consumers spending money earned from jobs. No jobs, no money, the system is unsustainable. Obviously things are more complex than that, but it's the simplest reason. Quote:
Peter Joseph's biggest problem is that he's not good at layman explanations. He uses terms and phrases that confuse people and he spends more time than he should explaining what he means....which hurts his message. I get that he finds himself into the position of explaining what is a large scoped and multifaceted concept, but that should be all the more incentive to do a sort of "FAQ" and create bullet point sound bites he can repeat that anyone can understand.
