    Part 2 not in the Mainstream news

    I wonder if this will be filtered. One week later and the dance begins again on a bigger scale and swat was called out to back everyone to the steps. People wonder why I have infowars.com in my URL, its stories like these that you wont see in mainstream news short of Judge Napolitano.

    2) The same can be said of how we dealt with Environmental protection before the 70's. it was called Private Property rights.
    3) The only freedom we have in life is choice.
    4) Gwiz pointed this out already. So not complying with police is now punishable by resisting arrest? Scary

    May be interesting. A Next Gen culture in thee oldest culture alive.

    History lesson for the day. The Phynx is 8000 years old but the Qur'an holy words detail out the age of man is only 6000 years old so it goes against there religion to actually detail this out. Look it up :) Then we wonder why Egypt doesn't want to find out whats in the chamber under its foot.

    It makes one wonder if the players in the field came together to really inovate and share ideas what kind of world we will have. Altrustic? maybe. But free-markets work well with a repository of knowledge.

    Also this brings up another good point; if were so against patents and the monopolies they bring are we willing to grant an arbitrary time length for even a shorter period? I know this has been discussed, ad nausem in other threads so spare us the debates on that issue.

    However, can we get on a reasonable debate on abolishing the patent and copyright system?

    This, my friends is the awakening period I think the world needs. It's through communication of ideas that greater ones develop and I pray I see that come to pass. The Whats In It For Me thought process is archaic and its never more blatantly obvious than it is here since I started reading TD back in Hot Cofee crack for NFS. Hey what can I say? My ideas flow to entertainment & having fun; Toy soldier that I am.

    Chris in Utah ( profile ), 31 May, 2011 @ 09:35pm

    Just a thought but doesn't the school system as thus (ie public & college & the ever popular public college (double-think much?)) been doing this for years already?

    Before we certified teachers we had experts in that field teach. It was called Master/Journeymen/Apprentice and it's still in action in other countries. We've just governnmentally monetized this system with an entity that thinks money into something equals profit and then we wonder why the only complaint from the top funded schools is "we need more money".

    The MJA system still works and is seen more in other countries. I still wonder why we have a society so built on the double-think word it is, public schools, that we forgot what worked for us very well for every culture since the dawn of man.

    My basic premise for this argument is what method is more sound. Having a system where at the age of 12 you can decide a trade then having the option to later decide to apprentice in a different path all leading to having at the very least skilled journeymen in an industry at the age of 18. Or (do your own google) have a system where the majority spend an average of forty thousand, compounded with interest, don't even know what the hell there major is going to be at 18 and 4-12 years down the road say oops and spend the rest of the meager existence paying off those loans and finally at 30+ actually finding a field there happy in. Nothing worse then a system that perpetuates wasting years of time, money and energy. /soap-box end.

    hack the planet!!! Nerd moment continues...

    Defiantly Chaotic Good Nature. Libertarian I think hits the Demeanor. Fits my personally as well.

    I daresay I maybe parroting myself on these stories and yet some more insight to share with the TD crew.

    I wonder if I will be charged with contribution of funds to terrorist organization if Anonymous ever got a kick-starter project for future ideas for action. I really think they may need to invest in information dissemination a bit though. Climate-Gate effects haven't really seen any policy change from status-quo. There are other examples but I may be here all night.

    I think we all still remember being fascinated by Hollywood depiction of the altruistic hacker in the movie so aptly named. Personally I still put my faith in the culture to remain Chaotic good. There are outliers in everything but like the game recently in newgrounds with the name even these can be dealt with in majority. Side note: Sony has been long overdue.

    Leave ya with some food for thought on Chaos.

    We long ago we noticed the popularity of The Daily show and its red head step-child as our primary source of news.

    Satire has ruled the airwaves since George Carlin. I also noticed the governmental interventionism in free speech since the 7 dirty words as well.
