If you want to pose ridiculous generalities rather than have an intelligent conversation, count me out. Why don't you try ASKING me what I think instead of pushing your fears on me?
"So if a bunch of people decide that a given peaceful individual must or must not do something, that makes it acceptable ?"

Looks like a question to me. What fear is being pushed on you? Do you know how to communicate with people successfully?

Well obviously you can see into the future and saw that Buck was going to accuse you of being someone else and planned that 9 months in advance by asking yourself a question so that you could use it now to make yourself look like someone else.

Random Canadian Economic History Lesson:

Gerald Grattan McGeer's 1933 book, The Conquest of Poverty, was influential in deciding Canada's "experiment" with Fiscal Policy ex nihilo. Unfortunately for Canada, Trudeau was duped in the early 70s into going along with the global way (at the US' behest, no doubt...)


It would be beneficial if we could recapture some of that wisdom lost so long ago.
After all, why did it work when the world was self-constrained by golden delusions? Was it merely because the railroads were the dominant employer of the time period?

Debt owed to someone else is not a reserve.
Tell that to the millions of investors who hold Treasury securities thinking they are the safest investment there is, and to the financial planners and chartered consultants who put their funds into the Treasuries (not to mention the many countries who are invested in them).

Also, the Trust funds in no way are a legal obligation to the recipients of SS. Congress can legislate them away at any time.
Shoulda woulda coulda betta musta. Wonderful reasoning: be very afraid of what could happen, like a major asteroid strike.

If the government defaults on those Treasuries, it would send a shock wave through the world resulting in the collapse of economies including ours and worldwide disaster. There. My "maybe" is more realistic than yours.
 
The trust funds have nothing but non-marketable bonds.
DO you know what that means?

The US Debt is made up of the most liquid bills, bonds and notes in the whole world. Totally marketable, in fact their market is one of the biggest markets in the known universe.

Do you know what the difference is?
Yes I know. I was not a financial planner for nothing years ago. My training, experience, and understanding stands to say you are wrong in your concerns. True, the Treasuries in the Trust Fund (thank you for acknowledging that there are Treasuries in it and not "worthless paper") are not "marketable". Do you know what that means? A reading of your posts suggests that you don't. It means that they cannot be taken out of the TF and sold on the open market. That was done so that a republican repeal of the SS Act would be more difficult among other reasons. But that doesn't mean they are not worth anything, although a person might think that if they didn't know how those Treasuries are redeemed without affecting the national debt in the process. You are so ready with information on this, -do you know how those Treasuries are redeemed even though they are not marketable?

It's a ridiculous generality. There is no "bunch of people" who have decided to impose their demands on "a given peaceful individual". Apparently you are one of those who oppose our representative democracy.

>"Do you know how to communicate with people successfully?"<
And your thinly veiled personal attacks are your attempt to intimidate your way to a feel-good sense of "winning" something. But they're more of an indicator of what makes you tick.

because that's when you stopped posting and started writing reviews about RIU under the name "phatfarmer" or some shit.

pointing out that you started posting as jahbrudda right after you got banned as beenthere is not helping your case.

Right UB, right.

I think your status here is a little more than you are letting on.
I've been here for a while now, I've never seen a date where someone was banned, and i'll bet nobody else (regular members) has either,

it's easy, it's the date when that person stops posting.

is that a difficult concept to get for you? no wonder basic scientific findings by NASA confound an idiot like you.

fucktard.

You have dismissed the argument, but you have not refuted it. Of course there is a "bunch of people" who have imposed their demands on many peaceful individuals. That's self evident, but if you'd like to refute my assertion go for it.... Whether I oppose a democracy or not does not mean that a democracy does not exist. A democracy IS a "bunch of people" that can and often does impose demands on the peaceful individual. Are you denying that?

Whether I'm attacking you or not, is irrelevant to whether or not my points are valid. Nobody "wins" when truth is discarded or one person sidesteps in order to NOT to answer a question. That's an avoidance, not a refutation.

Certainly I know very well how to communicate with people. I'm not personally attacking you, I'm questioning your ideas.

It seem like you have a problem answering questions too.

did the adversities that blacks in the south faced before civil rights cause harm?

can you name any historians who agree with you that the atrocities they faced were the product of mere "indifference"?
