So what happens to tax evaders in prison? Cause If I don’t pay taxes this year in support of a cessation on my part to funding war I’m more than certain that I will be arrested.

Ha! will of the people! Ah ha! ha! democracy? ha! etc.

the truth is that so-called domecracies don’t really need the will of the people, they just need submission… nobody really cares enough to do any damage to power, those that do are marginalized…

i dunno, i’m either a pessimist or an anarchist

“there are actually laws prohibiting the CPP Investment Board from making ethical considerations when choosing investments.”

WOW. That has gotta go on the list as one of the most blatant inadquecy of government. The government is actually obligated not to make an ethical decision. So not only is the government not protecting us from harmful policy & business practices but it’s also making it illegal to consider the harm. As I said, that has to be the most blatantly warped view of government I’ve ever come in contact with.

Government exists to serve us right? I mean.. it can fuck up, it can be corrupted, blah, blah, blah.. there’s kinks that need to be worked out. But when the government itself is being built upon an abstainment from consideration of harm done to citizens & their environment - it’s now become inarguably harmful as opposed to even just attempting to serve the citizens and failing.

There’s a difference between failing to keep citizens from harm and designing government so they CAN NOT be kept from harm. Big difference.

Standup comedy is one of my vices.

Yeah, we have lots of adverts, especially for coke, and Guiness, which is odd because cinemas here don’t sell booze.

to me; tv is a whole pack of lies to show you a world that u should be living in as determined by those who benneifit from the way that we live with in it like ,revlon sells make-up in the most basic ways with plesant colors and attractive people ,who are only attractive because you are told that they are then a logo and tag line and you might kinda feel good at the end. i think its the repeating of the ads that make their message sink in. and most of the messages seem to be you will feel good if you buy this or eat this or look like this.
i stopped watching tv about 2 years ago
well i still down load some tv shows,
and some times movies but not having the ads and the constant indoctrination from news stations much better.
now im noticing how many ads are in the newspapers, in the grocery line when i see all the gossip bullshit it seems bizarre taht thease people should mean something to me
tv sucks just turn it off
i was wondering if anybody els has ads at movies in thier country?

yeah I saw a bit of the BBC and some other british TV footage and yeah they were like vulchers!! excuse all the typos I am hung over from a Suicide Machines show, it was a pretty kool show with only about 30 in the audience,hows that for intimate. I mean’t what does everyone do in general, activism,studying,working,anything. Myself I’m a uni student doing a bachelar of arts, not sure what I want to go into yet maybe environmnetal science, social work etc. I’m doing a fair bit of history,anthropology stuff at the moment with global development and poverty and environmental ethics and values as electives. As for work I was a part qualified chef until I turned vego/vegan( i say both cause I still eat non rennet cheese)and no wteach guitar. Activism well nothing major, I joined a university Greens group but its pretty unorganised,the only other groups here are the socalist alliance which do good things but are like vulchers. Beside sthat I just like to bombard my local mcdonalds with leaflets and draw doodles on there signs……haha not really…ok yes really. wow our like posts are like massive hahaha, if you want send em an email ksup22 [at] yahoo [dot] com anyone else taht wants to say hi can to.
