why that was nice

Well i caught on when you started to disagree with me.. most times only stupid fat people (and not the fatties that would be ok looking if they lost weight, the horrid ugly fatties) disagree with me.
I didn't respond to your other statement because it wasn't worth responding to. I don't feel the need to respond to people who cant distinguish a catchy title from actual opinion.

See above statement regarding titles and opinions.

You might try delving a little deeper into his work, beyond the superficial propaganda, before making yourself look foolish by commenting on it.

For example did you know that despite his focus on the inevitable crisis of capitalism and his portrayal of it as a system of domination and exploitation, Marx saw capitalism as primarily a good thing?Certainly Marx did not want to return to the traditional values of precapitalism. Past generations were just as exploited; the only difference is that the old exploitation was not veiled behind an economic system. Notwithstanding its exploitation, the birth of capitalism opened up new possibilities for freedom of the workers. The capitalist system provides the possibility for freedom from the traditions that have bound all previous societies. Even if the worker is not yet truly free, the promise is there. Similarly, as the most powerful economic system ever developed, capitalism holds the key to freedom from hunger and other forms of material deprivation. It was from the viewpoint of these promises that Marx criticized capitalism.

Here is another interesting tidbit for you; communism, as envisioned by Marx, has never been actualized.

It was a stupid little comparison meant to be a joke. If this joke is innaccurate then sue me. But talk about totally deviating from the original premise of this thread. Do you have any shred of consistency or do you just go on random tangents?

Edit: Scratch this. It seems there was absolutely no point to this thread in the first place other than to start an argument. It seems more like an excuse to stir the shit than have intelligent discourse. Ah well, this thread was probably a joke in the first place.

Here's something you wouldn't expect to find inside a time capsule from the 1950s: *********** from the 1970s.

But faculty members at the University of Washington Department of Communications found just that when they opened a half-century-old time capsule Thursday and saw a centerfold and copies of Playboy and Hustler.

Atop the 50-year-old memorabilia were items from the late '70s and early '80s: adult magazines, an April Fools' edition of The Daily, UW's student newspaper, clip-on ties, women's underwear, and nearly petrified Twinkies, among other things.

"I just think this is a great college prank," department chair Gerald Baldasty said Thursday night after an event at which alumni from the classes that sponsored the time capsule got to look at what was inside. "We're not upset at all; we're just having a good chuckle over it."

It didn't appear that any of the original items placed in the capsule 50 years ago — reel-to-reel films and copies of local publications — were missing, Baldasty said.

The time capsule was locked away, implanted in the wall of the Communications Building, with an inscription that said it should be opened on the 100th anniversary of the first journalism classes at the university, which is this year.

The department is planning an event for Saturday to reveal to the general public what was inside its capsule, which sits outside The Daily's offices. The more recent additions to the capsule will be part of that display, Baldasty said.

"We're not hiding it," he said. "We'll have that out so people can see that, too."

There aren't any suspects in the case — though the general assumption is that someone from The Daily opened it one or more times between 1976-80, said communication alumni and development manager Victoria Sprang.

Opening it would have been no easy task, Sprang said. The capsule was sealed by 36 bolts that require a special tool to remove — it is also in a well-traveled hallway, so it would have been difficult to break in without drawing attention.

"I am so impressed that whoever did that kept quiet for so many years," Sprang said.

Both Sprang and Baldasty wonder if the prankster or pranksters will reveal themselves.

All of the content will be on display from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday in Room 104 of the Communications Building.

And quite frankly, if you aren't in the minority groups being discussed here, you really have no knowledge of the true nature of these discussions. That is not elitism, it's simply that you don't share the same perspective.

To anyone who disagrees with me...
Why is it that minorities are so statistically disadvantaged in everything?

Do they like it? Are the biologically inferior? Culturally inferior?

What causes them to have underrepresentation in politics, income, education, and a shorter lifespan - if it isn't unequal opportunities and disadvantage - what is it?

1.) idk

2.) it depends on you personality and your mental state toward socially conscious affairs. biologically inferior? jordan or neil de grasse wouldn't think so. culturally inferior? neither karenga nor michael eric dyson would think so.

3.)politics= uninformed about how the process and/or just not givin a fuq

income= institutional discrimination, low education which lead to dead end jobs and /or just bein grateful (not happy) with what u bring home.

education= parents not givin a fuq how their kids do in school and the kids themslves fukin around and failin all the time

shorter lifespan= genetics, destiny, diet, homicides

THe majority of people in jail are white. Its common statistics for anyone to realize. Compare the amount of white people there are in the US to other races, of course they will have more people in jail, there is a higher probability. And again racism is a person issue, not an ethnic one. If it was ethnic the entire white race, black race, every race would be racist. I'm not disagreeing or anything with you iceteebone, just adding on to what you said.

Sometimes this forum reminds me of local radio. The same song gets played over and over again.
