"You are naming the US "mostly prior to World War II" as an example of "wealth for the average person...superior healthcare system" while ignoring not one but multiple depressions (more than 40, by some methods)"<br /><br />Actually I'm not. I thought that I clearly implied that World War I had more economic freedom. I guess not. Times prior to World War I had more overall personal and economic freedom within the west. You could literally buy any drug you wanted to. You could buy any form of booze you wanted to. You could easily start a business with little money in your pocket, without worrying about filling out paperwork from and paying fees to 15 government agencies. You could go anywhere on earth without a passport. If you wanted to come to immigrate to America, you just had to survive the boat ride with no horrible disease.<br /><br />The most noteworthy depressions occurred long after the federal reserve, some added regulations from the Wilson era, some added regulations starting with Hoover, continuing well after Franklin Delano Roosevelt grew the government by leaps and bounds. Virtually all the economic disasters you speak of occurred almost always when the government was at it's then record for largest and most powerful.<br /><br />Even the 19th century panics (which were far tinier than anything happening after Wilson) coincided with government measures like imposing greenback money, or imposing national banks on the public, or some large scale war or some other scandal involving government.

The only problem is that people are deluded enough to allow a government to remain which has the power to tax. These professional parasites then tax all the growing wealth and eventually grow to super strong governments. This is what happened with the USA and UK, and yes, even the Nordic countries.

Problems with Starship Troopers the movie:<br />1. IRL wars since WWI do not have infantry as frontline forces. Since then, the trend has been increasingly artillery shots, then aircraft, then tanks, then lighter vehicles (like APCs, Infantry Fighting Vehicles and helicopters, THEN infantry mops up what is left). So, why, in the future, which would logically have even less risky situations for infantry would they actually increase their role, let alone make them frontline?<br /><br />2. Why would said infantry not have weapons that could NOT eliminate the enemy in about one shot? What is strange that even the Doogie Howser actor points out that the bugs need a million shots, unless you hit them in a special place. In the heat of war, hoping to hit a very tiny place is extremely unlikely. Especially when they are ridiculously outnumbered.<br /><br />3. What the hell is wrong with the sergeant who threw a knife at the hand of a private? This is supposed to be a protagonist? What I thought was crazier was his justification on practicing knife throws:<br /><br />"[Zim throws a knife and hits Ace's hand pinning it to the wall] <br />Career Sergeant Zim: The enemy can not push a button... if you disable his hand. Medic! "<br /><br />This scene made no sense whatsoever. The alien bugs used neither knives nor nukes. This scene might as well been about practicing scuba diving warfare. Even if the bugs used knives, guns are way more powerful. And if the knives were for the humans, even standard assault rifles needed 100 shots to take down a bug. A knife would be a joke. If this scene was to highlight what a tough nut the sarge was, that would still not be a good enough excuse. Full Metal Jacket and other military movies displaying aggressive drill sergeants have them doing things which actually make sense.<br /><br />4. Why didn't the forces of Earth just nuke the damn aliens?

Yeah, you're right. I should have, as "avant-garde" is a terrible word to describe radical cultural production practices as it merely internalizes and embodies the violent, disciplinary rhetoric (and power) of the neoliberal State. It is a military term denoting, connoting, and identifying with conservative bodies and apparatuses of control that should never have been used by or for "radical" practices. That is, there is nothing "radical" or resistant about reifying State and hegemonic biopolitics, whether through language or action.

Besides, the biggest instigators of WW2 were arguably either almost completely statist (Soviet Union) or mostly statist (Germany, Italy and Japan).<br /><br />Vietnam was neocon paranoia about their "dominoes" theory.<br /><br />All these examples are aggressive state uses of power. Capitalism is about markets and trade. I really wish all these countries DID rely on markets and trade instead of acting like angry 5 year olds with mass destructive weapons.

Umfuld, c'mon! You're savvier than this. By responding to his tangential bullshit as though anything mDS has posted on this page has any relevance at all, you've not only allowed him to derail the conversation from the original topic to whatever retarded agenda he thinks he's posting about but, worse, you've given him basis for his false pretense that he is in fact engaging equally in participatory debate. He isn't. He might as well have started off by "arguing" that asteroids travel faster than Priuses and more efficiently, too. Who cares if it's correct or incorrect or whatever--it's entirely irrelevant to the conversation; it's tantamount to crap spam trolling, it's so stupid; and it completely destroyed an otherwise nuanced discussion between people who were not shitting out retarded copy-pasta from entrenched binary positions like two chimps throwing Red State and Blue State feces at each other. I may be unproductive and obnoxious in my vitriolic attacks but you are actually feeding him a steady diet of troll pellets, as witnessed by the fact that, through your response to him, he successfully dumbed down and shifted a decent conversation to whatever the fuck his binary understanding of, well, he thinks he's talking about politics and forms of governance, but we [i]were[/i] talking about economics and the hegemony of economic power, so fuck, I dunno. Might as well give him a hand job while yr at it and reward him for being so fucking ugly, too.

Political parties. Morality. Class equality. Economics. Crime. Corruption. Innocence. Fairness. Survival. Comfort. Safety.<br /><br />Timeless, endless struggles of humanity. Confusing, overwhelming, unsolvable problems.<br /><br />I'm not highly educated, but I'm not stupid.<br /><br />I observe, listen and watch everyone but I rarely debate or participate.<br /><br />All I know is that everyone is basically looking out for their own interests, wether they realize it or not. <br /><br />Anyone who claims to know everything and has it all figured out is usually either dead wrong or just lying (in part or in full to themselves and/or to others).<br /><br />Still, one has to take a stand somewhere and choose a side to some extent. <br /><br />I'm no anarchist. I agree we need a society, government and police. But I also hate the inherent, unavoidable corruption and abuse that comes with it.<br /><br />But I'm also half expecting society to crumble at any moment. I try to rely on the system as little as possible. I don't drive a car, I'm somewhat of a preper, I try to stay off the grid as much as possible, while still taking advantage of it as much as possible (a difficult balance).<br /><br />Bottom line is that everyone is an animal. Sometimes territorial and fierce, sometimes communal and bonding. But always wanting to dominate their surroundings using any means at their disposal, be it money and power, emotional subterfuge or brute force.<br /><br />I don't have it all figured out, but I do know you have to be damn careful out there and you can't really trust anyone. Not a stranger, not a family member, not a cop, not a president. <br /><br />Except that there are times when you have no choice. That's the rub.

Because I somentimes dislike the actions, content and comments of certain users to the point where I might selectively punnish them more frequently than I would someone I like who might break the same rules.<br /><br />I try to be as fair and honest as I can, but I recognize that I can't always be because I'm a little judgmental at times.<br /><br />Sometimes I catch it and correct it. Like I used to give PDE a hard time because I didn't like that how he talked over his sites. Later I realized I was just being a twat and stopped.<br /><br />I think the best way for me to avoid passing judgment prematurely is to not have any power over anyone.

ha! I agree! Give power to the Community members! plus methods to ignore those stupid cyberbullies... I know Pewdie Pie would approve :). Max, I'm all in on this! Please implement :D!!!!

she is talking about the milkshake power referenced in the song by kelis

To give a more descriptive response:<br /><br />x point in time: no confrontations on YTMND<br /><br />x point later (still no confrontations), send message to Umfuld asking whether or not he plans on making any more batman sites from the original series<br /><br />Response: "didn't read", a picture of a mudkip, etc.<br /><br /><br />Yeah. Really makes me want to give Umfuld more exposure by posting about how x person tweeted his site. I'm sure it's the same case for the other "trolls".<br /><br />And finally, you're a bit vague when you say "trolls [rodheh] said should be made mods". Who are those people specifically? Ochobobo is the only one I mentioned, and I don't see it wrong that he seems like a pretty neutral and reasonable member here. I know you like to put L83 on blast for being a "troll" here, and if you think I'd want anyone like that to be a moderator then I don't know what would have given you that idea. You don't put someone who is/previously has been heavily involved with this shit in a position of power - regardless of how reasonable I think a person like him might be outside of YTMND drama. Other candidates would be people like DaveTheRave when and if he had time, which he doesn't.<br /><br />Though max answered a question regarding mods I'd been wanting a clear answer about for years now, so it's pretty much decided that there will be no mods for the dwindling community. mDS proposed an alternate thing but whatever, just seems part a lost cause and part that it would be half-assed at this point.

There are no moderators and really there never have been in any real capacity. When there were moderators they would set sites as NSFW, but beyond that, they didn't have the power to do much.<br /><br />The problem stems in that anyone who would be a moderator here is also a member. Each member has their own point of view on who is a troll, what constitutes an offense worth taking action for and what should just be shrugged off.<br /><br />I think one of the fatal flaws of YTMND is the way I built it to be permanent. Once you delete a comment or a user or a site, it's gone for good. For that reason alone I always was afraid to give moderators any real power.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new website, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.<br /><br />Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that website, or any website so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that website might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.<br /><br />But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this website, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.<br /><br />Abraham Lincoln<br />April 1, 2004

"Nipple lasers" is a recurring motif in Famery-Gai's work: one of the classic examples from his middle period, http://tooltimes.ytmnd.com/, is one of Mr. Gai's first experiments with nipple lasers, and remains a powerful demonstration of the artist's narcissistic struggle with his repressed homosexuality.<br /><br />[site tooltimes:site]
