Who gives a crap about money when everyone's needs are provided for? You work becuase A. you are provided for, and B. you like to give back to a community that, under communism, and even socialism, would have given you so much

Yes, because hours in the office is much much harder work than, for example, laying bricks and paving roads. I'll say, all this sitting on my ass at work, and typing up useless quotas and yearly stock amounts sure as hell gave me a sore back and cramped wrists. Oooh boy, does that guy breaking his back over roofing tiles have it easy or what?

They had some of the greatest theatre ever written, to my mind. DOnt ask me how such a system produced it, I have no idea. The revolutionary-era theatre of the Soviet Union is fascinating.

It really was, waste gate. You offered a point, it was countered. Not refuted, but countered with examples and proper content.
In a choice between actually responding why you think what was said was correct/incorrect, and being sarcastic and insulting the posters motives, you chose the latter. What a friendly chap.

With Capitalism, there would be no Tetris.:yep:

Without Captialism, (and with communism), there would be no sucess. What is there to gain in life if everyone is equal?

An amazing time on Earth, my friend. An amazing time on Earth.:up:

Amazing how? Amazed from being just like everyone else?

Amazing because you can do whatever the crap you want without ending up on the streets broke.

I wonder what this question looks like from the other side of the fence. I'm assuming that anyone with an Internet connection is on the better side of a global average.
Just a thought.

I am crushed I was not mentioned... :cry:

Your naivte is staggering. Go back and read my previous post about human nature.

Yes, because mindless jobs that anyone in good physical shape can do should pay as much as jobs that require months or years of training. An example here: One of my first jobs was in a warehouse, loading and unloading trucks. That was a hard backbreaking job, and it paid $8.50 an hour. When I obtain my auto mechanic's licence, I'll be working for at least double that, even though most auto mechanics's tasks are far less physically demanding. Explain why an auto mechanic (or other jobs that require skill and training) should only make as much as a menial labourer. Expalin why I would train to become a mechanic if it only paid as well as menial labour? Sure I enjoy working on cars, but I could still do that in my free time.

Which means I could sit at home like a lazy bum and my needs would still be met. Same story if I worked back-to-back double shifts for a week. Now why would I want to work hard, or even at all? People who don't work should only be alowd to live off the government if they are physically incapable of working. If they refuse to work when they are able to do so then they deserve to be thrown on the streets

To me this means nothing left to live for. Nothing left to die for. Nothing left to strive for. No meaning to life. No meaning to death. Just a bullet to the head.

Anything else is take a number - you mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Meaning nothing, why live? Why do good? In the end, it all doesn't matter.

See the post above.

Capitalism stole my virginity
