Just the fact that you've clicked on the word 'politics' proves something, I suppose. I'm wondering whether musical taste is linked to political leaning, and so whether everyone here will be in the same area politically. Please indicate roughly where you stand, something like 'liberal', 'anarchist', 'Nazi' or 'don't give a toss', so I can take a quick survey. |

hrmm, well i am pretty much a liberal, but i don't know what category my true political feelings would be placed in. basically i believe in peace, love, equality and all that bullshit. but i really HATE economy. i would love it if there could be a society without economy. it might not be possible right now, but technology is rapidly changing and it will affect our everyday lives. i don't doubt that we will soon be able to have robots do all of the in service jobs. humans will just be required for critical thinking and art. i really do believe that. |

Ross - I wasn't expecting anyone to be a nazi, just giving examples of possibilities. As expected, most people seem to be left-leaning. But this 'progressive conservative' thing confuses me - isn't that an oxymoron? |

That's what I thought, but I'm testing the theory. I see some confusion here. In the UK, the Conservatives are the right-wing mainstream party. So in Canada they're the left? Anyway, I still think 'progressive conservative' is an oxymoron. To use the dictionary, progressive is 'favouring rapid progress or reform', and conservative is 'averse to rapid changes... disposed to maintain existing institutions'. Not to diss the party, just the name makes no sense. |

confucius was a philosopher... but he was mainly a philosopher of society. he was governer of his hometown once, where he made major reforms. it was known as the only time when there was virtually no crime. confucianism is not a philosophy, but an idealism for society. |

this is in reply to .. "XePhA88" who stated .. "i don't doubt that we will soon be able to have robots do all of the in service jobs" ... no offence dude .. but this is the prevailing myth .. that has been bandied about to subsequent generations .. 'ov workers for nearly a centurary .. 'the technology will lead to a utopia for all' ... well .. i'm afraid that it appears that we're not really heading in that direction .. i mean what happens to people who don't work in our society these days .. who through the above quote should been seen as the forunner's for this idealic social nirvana .. and look how they are treated by the general public .. as pariahs .. not as the inevitable result 'ov the expanding mechanisation 'ov labour .. but leaches on the rest 'ov society .. for not "working" .. even though there are no jobs for them to fill ... so if one were to extend forward a few years .. to when much more is automated .. who would really be benefitting from this ... and what would happen to the rest 'ov us ... .. power is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands .. disinfranchising the masses .. as they are given the same tired old line .. that if they just tough it out for a few more years .. we'll all be living in the perfect world .. (i could go on and on .. to really prove my point but i won't ...) i'm against most politics .. as the current democratic system doesn't have enough real participents .. to make it a valid representation 'ov democracy as a defined ideal .. (only a very small minority within the population is actaully a member 'ov a political party that then preselcts a candidate to stand for office .. therefore 'ov course we end up with idiots in office) .. we don't have real democracy .. and the people don't seem to care .. as their life skills have been impared be a poor education system .. and a generally ignorent community .. who's lase faire attitude is fualed by cynical media barons .. and opertunistic .. and parasitic corporations .. that said .. i'm probably gonna vote .. green .. even though the one's in my state .. stupidly believed the lies 'ov the conservatives three elections ago .. and gave them .. their preferences .. oh well maybe .. they've grown a brain .. yob_ .. with a capital ..

delet...: I agree with you about the prevailing myth, but just because predictions have always ended up as myths does not mean that it will always be result in yet another myth. But as for us actually reaching that technology soon? I don't know, who knows what will happen in the future for our planet. So then in that case, I'll take that comment back. Because soon we'll all be worrying about power, then water, and then all of a sudden we'll all be over populated-- ow, my skin hurts... must be the UV light... --Issues like these should be the ones that our leaders are addressing as their top priority. Here in america, bush's top priority is his obtainment and foothold on the presidency, rather than being the presidency itself. Also, understand my tone first before you start making comments sticking up for the "forunner's for this idealic social nirvana" as if i were putting them down. wtf do you think i am? so freakin' aristocrat sittin' at home all day listen to twin? no, i'm just another joe schmo workin' hard like the rest of you. Anywho~~ i'm not saying you should expect some utopia in 30 years, but just realize that one day, you won't need the goddamn keyboard under your hands to communicate your thoughts into words... you won't need a big hunk of metal in front of you to display windows, and you won't need speakers to tell you that you are listening to aphex twin... our minds, our ears, nose, eyes, skin and our goddamn tongue act simply as a receptors of the outside world, and utilize as input into our brains to give us a perception of the outside world, from within. -i've been sittin' in front of one of these goddamn computers for the last 11 years, and I'm going blind at 20 frickin' years old. And I'll tell you, when I 40 years old, I sure as FUCK don't plan on having to sit and watch myself click on 'Start|Programs|Windows Explorer' then expand the C:-Drive, then go into the windows folder, etc. etc. etc., --when for the past 20 YEARS i've known the exact path of the file i want, and exactly what i want to do with that file. why should I wait for some goddamn piece of metal? It's all just in our heads. Anyways, love ya! Have a nice day, plz don't get me wrong, i love to argue, but not to fight, so let's keep this an argument. :-) |

Face it, it's the way of the world nowadays that capitalism exists and it wouldn't be here if people weren't willing to spend money on these corporations. Money makes the world go round, I may not agree with it, but it's a fact. If you wanna fight a one-boy crusade against the global economy, then good luck - but I don't rate your chances. |

I'm all for supporting "the little man" amidst all these mutinationals, (I'm a bit of a leftee) but basic economics states that the bigger companies can use their large profits to buy in bulk and pass on their savings to the consumer in the form of cheaper products. A good thing? |

i think about it like this, children are being encouraged, at a younger and younger age all the time, to grow up not having to think about anything at all, they are shown what to wear, what to eat and what to listen to and ultimately how to live. This scares me alot as if i try to express individuality, people just either don't understand or laugh at you. i was looking at pro(xy) s website last night and saw his review of a night he played at, the stuff he said fits in perfectly, you should be given the chance to express yourself as an indivdual and if no one else likes it, then they don't have to say anything. i have probably mucked this up as i start off knowing excatly what iwant to say and then waffle, but i enjoy being who i am, mainly cos it does piss off everyone else, and if you convert anyone along the way its a bonus, as long as i have a mind, then i am happy :) thats it i think.....he he |

i look at this way: freewill vs. determinism. determinism is winning right now. you may have your choices, but those choices have been determined as to what they will be and who they are for. i can never make up my mind too well, so i enjoy it and appreciate the freedom i have. anarchism wouldn't work in my opinion, but it isn't a bad idea to throw the system off every once and a while. from order you gain nothing because actions are performed in the same manner through and through. chaos brings learning and experience when one is forced to devise their own controls for situations. |

I've read a lot, mostly to entertain my brain, even though it's pointless to accumulate recorded knowledge, since you'll die someday anyway and it will all be deleted right out of your head. I tend to avoid any topics that are related to the insanity of man's systems, but indirectly, in everything else I've read, I've found man is very very evil. |
