    Timey Wimey: Doctor Who discussion thread

    Oh haha. I said love/hate because the only thing I hate is it's so addicting at a time where I need to be focused XD. Told myself one quick episode before bed and I slept at 3 am after having watched the ninth doctor's regeneration and absolutely being blown away by the show. Currently my...

    Capitalism: Do you believe in it?

    What do you want me to do? Conduct an experiment whereby I measure people's satisfaction in a capitalist v corporate society? Those definitions aren't from some article composed by some 20 y/o teen whose doing a degree in economics, no, they've been taken from reputable websites and are usually...

    What are your tutoring horror stories?

    Or we could abolish the teacher's union and dispel government intervention in the economy which would lead to the efficient fostering of quality teaching without militant means of discipline. It's a win-win.

    Capitalism: Do you believe in it?

    Right, the economic system that entails favouritism, suppression of progression and propels all the other negatives associated with government intervention. God help us all.

    2017ers Preliminary Chit Chat Thread

    Dracula's a good text, arguably the only text worth reading by Stoker.

    Capitalism: Do you believe in it?

    Supplant the word capitalism with corporatism. Laissez-faire capitalism is non-existent therefore pure capitalism can't be blamed for today's issues.

    Capitalism: Do you believe in it?

    Marx had the right idea, but he lost it when it came to actual execution. Capitalism stumps Marxism in terms of both efficiency and productivity subsequently resulting in a better quality of life. Entfremdung was one of Marx's refutations of capitalism claiming that modernised working resulted...

    Capitalism: Do you believe in it?

    Hemingway, T.S Eliot, Faulkner, Joyce, Nabokov (anyone calling him a pedophile, it's just writing, piss off), Salinger, Dahl, Bradbury, Asimov, Dickens, Camus, Steinbeck, Kafka, Ezra Pound, Flannery O'Connor, Oscar Wilde (kind of hate him, Pictures of Dorian Gray was such an arduous read)...

    Timey Wimey: Doctor Who discussion thread

    I'm going to try not to read the posts on here. I have the biggest love/hate relationship with Doctor Who. Started watching the TV series from the ninth doctor, heard that's how you're supposed to do it, and I can't stop! I'm in Year 11, I really should tend to my studies and now all I'm doing...

    Capitalism: Do you believe in it?

    Re: Taxpayers fund private school orchestra pits and swimming pools Yeah, thing is, it isn't too late. Rockwell's thirty day theory suggests a smooth transition from our current state into one of capitalism, quiet an amazing read from someone who is an absolute genius when it comes to...

    2017ers Preliminary Chit Chat Thread

    I'd like to think I do alright, even so, I have to excel in order to maintain my position. I'm a perfectionist and I tend to fuss excessively on one sentence which means I can't progress holistically.

    Taxpayers fund private school orchestra pits and swimming pools

    I don't believe in saltedwound's approach nor is his approach anarcho-capitalist.

    Capitalism: Do you believe in it?

    Re: Taxpayers fund private school orchestra pits and swimming pools Oh my god, I should've known what I was dealing with as soon as The Guardian article popped up. Never trust the Guardian for your daily dose of capitalism, they have retards like Paul Mason writing for them, ignoramus' that...

    The BoS Political Compass Thread

    I see the problem with American candidates, not one of them is plotted on the bottom right. Welp, need Ron Paul.

    Capitalism: Do you believe in it?

    Sorry, I didn't see this question originally. Many people do believe they correlate of one is a manifestation or the other, some believe the terms are synonymous, etc... This couldn't be less true, the two are different. Capitalism - Hands free, no government intervention, laissez-faire, free...

    Capitalism: Do you believe in it?

    I know. I love him for his writing, but when it comes to capitalism, Orwell butchered it.

    Capitalism: Do you believe in it?

    Re: Taxpayers fund private school orchestra pits and swimming pools Capitalism promotes innovation which in turn advocates alternative means. It's writers, such as those from the Guardian (of course!), who can't differentiate between capitalism and corporatism that gives pure laissez-faire...
