We need the Galactic Empire .? The alternative is anarchy and extinction. Long Live The Second Foundation !

What we need now is more of the rule of Law, freedom, socially and economically and the rule of law again. What we don't need is a government, even global,. that bases it's existence in any kind of collectivism,..Because it is shit,.. It has been proven historically beyond any shadow of the doubt,..(must have been drunk on my other post),.. And it is not what we need it is what individuals need,is a free society with the rule of law. it works. Everything else is bound to fail and fail? hard,..

@Chindro2828 Ok, but my point was that you dont have legitimacy if? your decisions affect third parties. It doesnt matter who pollutes more, the point is: Does they have the right to pollute at all?
By: AshtonPhoto. on 07 Nov 11, 18:42:33
@Chindro2828 Thanks, I have read research? and no, it does not all conclude that burning fossil fuels will 'heat up the atmosphere' (whatever that means). There is a mass of research that points to an imminent cooling period but you discount all of that because the media headlines never mention it. Have you watched 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' on YouTube so you have both sides of the argument? No, of course not. Your mind is already made up.

@Homelandz Wrong, the US emits the most? Co2, nearly double that of China. But at the rate they`re going they will probably surpass America in 20 years.
By: Chindro2828. on 07 Nov 11, 07:45:49
@AshtonPhoto The river was also wider, more shallow and flowed slower than it does today. 10 minutes of reading research material and knowing high school science would tell you that the burning of fossil fuels does heat up the atmosphere. Please get real and don`t use the river Thames freezing over as conclusive evidence.? Yes the Earth does go through changes. But to discount human industry as a cause of global warming is plain silly.

@595o The situation is likely irrevocable, at least in the short term. The US government is totally corrupt and the people don't care. Despite claims to the contrary, they believe everything they read in the media ('global warming' being the latest fad). Clinton, a clown, got reelected. Bush, a clown for entirely different reasons also got reelected and now the clown? currently in office has amassed a massive war chest to fund his (almost certain) reelection. I'm not optimistic.

@AshtonPhoto Ok, so again,? what's the solution/alternative? More transparency? More altruistic politicians?
By: AshtonPhoto. on 26 Oct 11, 07:13:30
@595o Ok, let's cut right to the chase here. The problem is that people are naturally self-centered. Bankers want more money, government officials want more power (and money) and celebrities want more recognition (and money). Children exhibit this behavior from the moment they're born. The bigger the government, the less accountable it becomes. That's a hard and fast rule. The less? accountability people have, the worse they behave. That's also a hard and fast rule.
By: AshtonPhoto. on 26 Oct 11, 07:13:14
@595o Giving people in government? more power and less accountability is a recipe for calamity. Mr. Asimov didn't see this and frankly, you don't either. Only a fool would want more of something that doesn't work, but seeing as people are happy to continually vote for ever larger governments it would seem that foolishness is the biggest global threat we'll ever face.
By: 595o. on 26 Oct 11, 06:12:43
@AshtonPhoto It's one thing to talk about whether man-made climate change is true, another about what to act against this or similar threats that affect most of the earth population. You indicated that "more government" was not OK, so what would be your alternative to cope with this,? ignore for a minute whether it's really there, just think of the theoretical situation.
By: AshtonPhoto. on 26 Oct 11, 02:56:05
@595o I didn't? change the subject at all and I do not know what you're asking. Please elucidate.
By: 595o. on 22 Oct 11, 18:52:50
@AshtonPhoto You just changed the subject? Ignore for a moment whether there really is a climate problem, what should be done in case of a world-wide problem that affects? everyone and needs everyone in helping to solve it?
By: AshtonPhoto. on 22 Oct 11, 17:55:50
@595o What 'climate problem'? My friend, 10 minutes of reading would tell you that the world's climate changes all by itself. Between 1400 and 1814, the River Thames in London froze over 26 times. Londoners made the most of it,? and "Frost Fairs" developed. Then the world got warmer - without humans doing anything.

@KingKahnTV? Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
By: 595o. on 20 Oct 11, 16:27:10
@AshtonPhoto I? ment an alternative solution of the climate problem.
By: AshtonPhoto. on 20 Oct 11, 15:53:42
@595o Yes, absolutely. It's called common sense and not political demagoguery. It's thinking for yourself and not believing? everything CNN tells you to.
By: Homelandz. on 11 Oct 11, 00:29:34
The whole point is on the legitimacy principle.Right now China is the biggest industrial power on earth and thus? they emit the biggest amount of CO2 to the atmosphere.If they keep emiting CO2 at this pace the consecuences will be global.Is it fair for such a decisssion, that affects third parties, to be in the hands of the chinese government alone? Is this legimitimate?Some issues are global,and we all have a say on them.Through a global government OR simply through international agreements

@595o inescapable=oppressive, by? definition
By: 595o. on 06 Oct 11, 23:13:11
@amn3h23h2 Who said? something about oppressive?
By: amn3h23h2. on 06 Oct 11, 22:21:20
@595o again, i can't escape all governments, but that doesn't mean we should make one very oppressive government that cannot be escaped by anyone ever. of the limited alternatives, i choose many different governments? so that i at least have some hope. otherwise, i'll just have to become an anarchist and start blowing up the institutions of that world government.
By: 595o. on 06 Oct 11, 20:49:53
@AshtonPhoto 1.) Do you have an? alternative?
By: 595o. on 06 Oct 11, 20:45:31
@amn3h23h2 Personal multiverse transporter. But now seriously, I get your point but there are certain things you can't escape, in fact the majority of things you can't escape and even if you can then there are only limited alternatives, better make the best of what? you have.
