I can argue philosophy...

Technically, he is. He thought that he reasoned his way back to reality, but his reasoning was so incredibly lame, that, in truth, he's still locked inside his head in his own little world. As Ayn Rand put it, "a consciousness conscious of nothing but itself is a contradiction in terms."...

Woodman got it... I finally googled it last night because it was bugging the crap out of me. I knew it sounded familiar, but it's been ages since I saw that movie. :)

Ouch!

The total contract is valued at $7 billion, but it was dependent on how much work they actually had to do. So far, they've only done about $50 million. That was for putting out the fires and repairing damaged well heads. I don't know, but I'm guessing the full $7 billion was a worst-case...

:rofl: I was expecting some long, thought-provoking post from you that was going to force me to tidy up my position, and instead I got "fucking yeah. :beerbang:" :rofl3: :beerbang:

Schopenhauer, realizing that the logical conclusion of his philosophy was solipsism, escaped it by saying that solipsism was more in need of a cure than a refutation. :) lkja? ?( Is that a private language you're speaking there? ;)

:grumpy: It was all Jan's fault.... :grumpy:

I think she's trying to say that she made me sign a contract too. :P

Squiggy, I am not going to debate this issue with you anymore.

This sentence is false.

Fascism promises power and glory for the people who follow it, but it has yet to succeed. That doesn't mean that the countries that tried it were not fascist. It's a label they gave themselves, because they were Marxist revolutionaries who sought to implement Marxist principles. If you...

The power of the state has to be limited by a constitution so that individual rights are protected. When individual rights, including the right to property, are thus protected, capitalism is the result. In order to protect the rights guaranteed in the constitution, power is dispersed through...

There is nothing theoretical about the hostility of fascists to liberal democracy/capitalism. It's revealed in both their speech and their practice. My point in posting Mussolini's writing was to show that fascism is not capitalism. It is opposed to capitalism and hostile to the ideals of...

He was the leader of the state. He was the ultimate decision maker, and his subordinates were the representatives of the state. There was a vast bureaucracy controlled by the party, the police, the special police (Gestapo), and the military. In that respect, they were no different from the...

How do you know that? :)
