Question for you USA'ers

[marcus]

Cyg, many places here at the beach still serve the small bottles. I never quite understood the logic behind that but I guess maybe i'm not supposed to. I don't drink, but my wife (being the rebelious yankee that she is) allways asks why they are so behind in the times?

The logic behind this law involved the profit margin on the little airplane bottles. Of course, if you asked them, the liquor distributors were really looking after you, the consumer, by mandating drinks of a certain strength. I think thats a bunch of bs though

Nope. Simply a lesson in how self interest in socialism is not acceptable.

You can try to make it more complex by using big words, but as with everything it really boils down to something real simple.

In a socialist economy, you wouldn't have a computer to type on, or electricty to use a computer, etc. I'm talking about the ultimate end result, not the pipe dreams of Marx, Mao, Stalin, etc.

The loss for incentive to work drags civilization into the cave again.

You'll find as you get older that self interest is not something to feel guilty about. It's something that is very real and noble as the results are fantastic.

Regardless of the politics, current foreign involvement and other issues that the current American political system creates, there is no denying that the United States is the best place to live on earth. This wasn't done under a socialist philosophy. This was done in a capatalistic philosophy.

BTW, non US Citizens are not protected by our constitution. So we don't need to let you have freedom of speech.

For what it's worth, I think you have bizarre views of both socialism and capitalism. The USA, along with most countries including China, has taken a lot of ideas from both of those idealogies (among others).

In the real world there is a time and place for both socialist and capitalist ideas.

I figured it had something to do with profit.

It's the color of the hair metal party. Wild outfits for all and a guitar solo in every song! In our world, no one will be forced to play rhythm. Everyone can solo at once, pure Cacophony. We shall unite under our fearless leaders Jason Becker and Marty Friedman.

Well then, I'm fucked!

I'll do promotions since I suck at both rhythm and lead.

Here's a little nugget for your obviously Abby Normal brain. You take umbrage (there's another one for you to look up in your Penguin dictionary for the interminably (ooh and another) dumb) that an avatar with a hammer and sickle is used, but boy oh boy you must really get pissed when you see a rising sun Charvel or Jackson. Answer that and stay fashionable, yer twat!

Do you believe in creationalism?
