Re: Left to the free market, end up with horse meat burgers
So we are agreed? Capitalism results in corruption and horse meat in burgers. Good debate and well argued. I have learnt a lot from the experienced philosophers here.

No, you haven't learned anything at all. Even the Chinese have learned more than you, and they live under a dictatorship. But, of course, they have open minds and saw the futility of the socialism you so admire.richardtod wrote:So we are agreed? Capitalism results in corruption and horse meat in burgers.

Yeah! Like the Russians they are going to have state capitalism, one communist and the other laissez faire.
Will be interesting to see how they do.

Left to the free market, we end up with education being turned into a sausage machine.
Even Bob agrees with this one.

Re: Left to the free market, end up with horse meat burgers
You are dead wrong; the reason education is one of the biggest scams on Earth is that there is no free market in education. What you have is either government education or private institutions that don't pay taxes, get government subsidies and build up their billion-dollar endowments to the detriment of everybody except the bastards who run them, simply because they're non-profit organizations that have found a slick way to suck the life blood out of the rest of the world.chaz wyman wrote:Left to the free market, we end up with education being turned into a sausage machine.

You are just so dead wrong.

Speaking as a teacher and student. it is PRECISELY the adoption of the Free market and free market methods that has turned education into a scam infected with league tables, the profit motive, targets, and dropping standards that boost apparent results.
If you were not such a monumental joke I'd pity you. But you are just too daft to know how ridiculous you look; and too happy to be an outsider and eccentric.

I'm sorry, but socialized medicine is a joke and socialized education is a joke, and please, refrain from ever insinuating that you are a past, present or future American because you never were, are not now, and never will be an American in view of your corrupt European thinkling.chaz wyman wrote:You are just so dead wrong.

There are some arenas of civilisation that are at their best when they are not driven by the profit motive, and your insane addiction to that particular ideology is a continuing joke amongst, I think, all of the other contributors to this website.

If that is true, than everybody else is quite mad. The profit motive is what drives not only innovation, but the entire economy. If you can believe the news reports coming out now, not even Mother Teresa was the altruistic saint the Catholic church has painted her out to be.chaz wyman wrote:I'm American whether you like it or not.bobevenson wrote:[q

Since there is no profit in your continued activity on this website, then why do you continue to post here?bobevenson wrote: If that is true, than everybody else is quite mad.

And since you do not have to pay for the service that you use here, how can you account for this as a free access facility?
You would have to have a very poor imagination not to be able to think about things that work really well without any money being exchanged.

And yet your continued activity is proof positive that you are indeed stupid.bobevenson wrote:It's an experiment to establish that everybody is stupid except me, that I'm the only person on Earth who's not stupid!chaz wyman wrote:Since there is no profit in your continued activity on this website, then why do you continue to post here?

You don't believe in the value of experimentation?
And the rest of my post, you ignored..
I wouldn't ignore it if I could figure out what the hell you are talking about.

Unfortunately, Bill Gates is not a capitalist or he wouldn't be giving away billions of dollars to non-profit organizations that accomplish nothing except nice livings for the people that run them.
