That's exactly the problem, human beings are not capable of that.

Communism would work if people weren't greedy by nature, and always sought to have more than others. If we where capable of being content with economic equality things would be much better, and we could effectively deal with poverty and other issues, instead of only worrying about becoming richer and thus having better life's according to the presupposed capitalist standard.

Benito Mussolini, for being a brilliant Anarchist and journalist and becoming the ideologue behind fascism. Talk about Charisma, this guy owned Hitler.

George Lucas... who can write a good plot but sucks so bad when it comes to writing dialog for movies. Its disgusting. He should forever die in that thing of a thousand deaths on Tatoonie.

J.K. Rowling- For making Harry Potter

George Clooney- For "starring" in "Batman & Robin"


The original draft of The Lord of the Rings featured Chuck Norris instead of Frodo Baggins. It was only 5 pages long, as Chuck roundhouse-kicked Sauron's ass halfway through the first chapter.

which makes capitalism... superior? Communism obviously wouldn't work if it can't go up against anything else. All of the attempts at it have failed miserably b/c of the corrupt nature of man. The reason people disagree with capitalism is not so much the whole concept of it, but the corruption that can happen in the system. Basically, until we all stop being so damn corrupt, we won't need ANY form of government. But reality just makes everything so much more challenging. yay!

The people who actually thought communism could work, it's a great ideal but most people with the IQ of cheese figured out that it's not able to appplied to the real world (did you know that peanut butter has an IQ of 5? that's higher than the US Congress averaged together!*)

*counting janitorial/service staff with out them the congressional IQ would be in the quadruple digit negatives

Any person who got into that book, what was it called? Ah, thats it, the Darwin Awards. Awards for people who kill themselves in stupid accidents.

Back to being on topic... this was recent but I felt it was stupid enough to be in here. A man from Columbus, Ohio tried to get out of jury duty by saying he was a heroin addict and murderer. Of course, he was then sent to jail and charged with an obstruction of justice.

here's the article http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060626/ap_on_fe_st/unruly_...NW1oMDRpBHNlYwM3NTc-
