    Oh blah blah blah.

    Canada could house 10 million. Go up north and you will have a better way of life.


    Or are you so fascist that you want to have the supreme race?

    Well it's that old perspective thingy again. It's an economic crisis for Syria. It's an economic boon for Germany. Germany suffers from a declining population. Germans are having fewer babies these days. Homes will need to be built. These new immigrants will need clothing, education, food and all the other things that go along with living in Germany. It's an economic boon to the Syrian immigrants, they go from a war torn country living in poverty to stable modern economically prosperous European nation. So the only ones who lose here are those who stayed behind.

    This is what happens when Magic Thinking hits up against reality.

    Not without changing their entire way of life in Canada.

    Actually, I lean more towards Anarchy than Statism. As for 'race', race is a concept - it doesn't exist in reality. Supreme may be an aesthetic but is nonsensical in this context. It's like asking which is the supreme Insert Magic Thought. I don't think I've used Supreme to qualify a subjective experience. Supreme flavored ice-cream? Vista? Beer? Nah, it's not an expression I feel makes sense to me.

    LOL

    In Joe's World if we all went out and broke a window the economy would BOOM I tells Ya! Think of the Jerbs and gee, the correlating rise in GDP says it all, I tells Ya!

    Sorry Joe, taking in a million people who do not share your cultural norms, speak your language, share your values - some of whom are opportunistic criminals others genuine refugees and still others murderer's and rapist specifically looking to murder, rape and steal (as such people exist in ALL societies regardless of creed or culture) and who do not have the high-tech skills needed in your economy, is NOT going to be an 'economic boon'.

    Not only that, but the Germans will have to DIVERT resources to build homes. That's not a boon, it's a bust. A sacrifice. Sorry again, but this so of Magic Thinking World where there's unlimited resources just out of reach if only the rich Germans / rich people would make them available is just that - MAGIC THINKING. In reality this means Germans will have to make do with LESS. Not more, LESS. Less resources for medicine, less resources to educate German children, less resources for homes and industry. Less Less Less

    To suggest otherwise is a severe case of Magic Thinking. A SLOW influx of highly skilled people - yes, that IS a boon. This is not that.

    The plot shows that about 70% of all asylum applicants in the EU were male in 2014. There was a greater degree of gender inequality for asylum applicants aged 14–17 or 18–34, where around three quarters of applicants were male. No one can know if the literal flood of undocumented people in recent weeks retains the same profile - so, for now, it's an unknown. Although, it's been argued that single young men travel much faster compared against women looking after their children, and accordingly, there may be even higher numbers of young men.

    Oh, and the numbers have risen (as an estimate) so fast in the past few weeks starting out at about 300,000 to 680,000 to 800,000 to 1.2 million and now 1.5 million. And that's BY the years end.

    Anyway, kind of like our QE1, QE2, OT, QE3 experiment our Central Regulators have Planned for us (which subsequently failed), let's see how this bungle / experiment works out for Germany.

    Somehow I don't believe you are revealing your true motives.

    Germany had a plan to eliminate 11 000 000 Jews by working them to death if they conquered Europe...

    Obviously "Germany" didn't plan anything - it's not a person, it's a geopolitical delineated landmass. The people who composed the German State's Government - they attempted talking all the other little State-bots into murdering off millions of It's citizens.
    Why?
    Why would the Socialists that ran the German National Socialist German Workers' Party want to kill off the most valuable and productive members of society?
    Maybe it was because Germans who are Jewish happened to follow a different superstition? But, then again, there's a lot of German people who believe all sorts of superstitious bullshit. Perhaps it was because German Jews had a genetic advantaged g-factor? Kind of hard being the 'superior' race when the Jewish kid next to you blows your SAT score out of the water. Maybe they didn't like the intellectual competition? Who know's the mind of a Statist? In my experience, most successful Statists would probably be diagnosed with classic Narcissism. Other than that, they do seem to be pretty good at giving the Magic Thinkers something to think about. Mainly starting with the notion of "Free".

    See Bernie Sanders vs "The" Koch Brothers for an example. In the first instance you have a career politician who has never produced ANYTHING of value to ANYBODY - ever. He's part of the Class in society that make a living stealing from the rest of the productive working Class. In the later you have a family that not only produces value, does so successfully enough to be one of the largest companies, hiring and providing jobs for thousands of highly paid, highly skilled workers. So, of course, THEY have to be made to be seen as the evil ones. JUST who else is a thief like Sanders going to steal from (oh, I mean redistribute from) to give to everyone he's promising bullshit to. You'd think someone in Sanders position would know better - but, the type of person who becomes a successful Statist, can't but help themselves.

    Stateists like Bernie give us Welfare Ghettos.
    Capitalists like the Koch brothers give us products in a sustainable manner. They HAVE to, or they go bankrupt. They MUST work within real world limits. Statist like Bernie HAVE NO limits. Which is why Welfare Ghettos are now ticking over to 5 and 6 generations! That would NEVER be allowed to happen in a free-market. But it will in a Socialistic Paradise. And these Socialists are turning all of the Nations they infect (Germany included) into Welfare ghettos.

    And here's where Reality runs up against Magic Thinking. See, in a the real world there's limits. And all that "FREE" costs a shit ton of money to produce and a shit ton of money to 'Redistribute'. This means an ever expanding Tax Chattel base. See, to live in a Progressive Socialist paradise (perhaps one like the German National Socialist German Workers' Party was trying to build) you need to live in MAGIC WORLD where there's an ever expansion of children who's productive gains and labor tomorrow you can promise to the selfish Progressive Magic Thinkers of today.

    Joe is absolutely correct, Germany NEEDS more children to Bond labor to. There is no other way to provide all the FREE. German children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have ALL been sold-out and the State is bankrupt. Which is why Progressive Socialism, when not destroying societies, works very hard at destroying the Earth's ecosystems. MOAR is the key to Magic Thinking. MOAR Debt Slaves. MOAR expansion. FREE costs a lot of money and Earth.

    National Socialism at it's finest.

    And you think any of that makes sense....really?

    What's wrong with being an honest and honorable politician? I'd rather trust an honest politician who has a record of standing up for the little guy against corrupt wealthy industrialists you so idolize and who spend billions to corrupt politicians (e.g. your Koch brothers). You know, the guys who fund your ideology.

    So poor houses and debtor prisons didn't exist? You are rewriting history again Michael.

    Sometime ago I pointed out to you the foundation of your ideology rests upon magical thinking and now you are accusing everyone else of magical thinking. The fact is Michael, as has been endlessly pointed out to you, your ideology is just as deeply flawed as communist doctrine. It requires people to stop behaving like people. And short of a massive rewrite of our DNA, that isn't going to happen.

    Nice demagoguery, but that's all it is Michael. You are trying to playing identity politics and appealing to the basest fears and emotions at the expense of rational thought.

    I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's.
    - Mark Twain (12 September 1907)
    in Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 3 (2015)

    LOL

    Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

    - Mark Twain

    You think the STATE protects Citizens FROM debtor prison? It's the STATE that imprisons them! Jesus Horus Christ (See: Quote #1).

    America's Debtors’ Prisons, Then and Now
    Let's see, does Koch Industries make it's money imprisoning the poor? Um, no. No it doesn't. Koch Industries has to provide goods and services that other's WANT to buy. That others find VALUE in. How we know other's find value? Because they FREELY pay for those goods and services.

    Let's see, WHO does make his money working in the institution that imprisons the poor in Debtors Prisons? Oh yes, that would be Bernie Sanders. How is he paid? Not by providing goods and services people FREELY pay for because they find value in those purchases. No, he instead sells Magic Thinking / Bullshit.

    Bernie makes a living peddling bullshit. Bernie is ONLY paid because if Citizens don't pay for people like him, the State will imprison them (see: Debtors Prison) and can even kill them if they resist not paying for Bernie and his Buddy's. State coercion and threats to murder any "Citizen" of the USA that doesn't pay for Bernie and his Mafia friends is how they make their living, it's how Bernie makes his money.

    How do we know people do NOT value ANYTHING he sells? Because, unlike "the Koch Brothers", NO ONE wants to freely pay for his B.S.. Because they know he's FULL of shit. He sells MAGIC THINKING. They may like what he's saying (people do like their Magic Thinking) just not enough to actually pay for it. They value what he has to say at ZERO.

    That aside, if Bernie actually wanted to make change happen, then he'd start a company and make that change happen. But, people like Bernie can not do that - because they have nothing of value other's around him want to pay for. Other than Magic Thinking, and that has a short shelf life (see: Nobel Peace Prize Weinner, O-Blah-Blah).

    If Bernie wanted to ensure Americans received medical care - he'd be a f*cking doctor and provide that good or service or work developing medicines.
    If Bernie wanted to ensure Americans received a proper education - he'd start a f*cking school, and provide that pedagogical change.

    Oh, but that's going to take a lot of skill, and work. No No No..... people like Bernie like to talk bullshit, it's so much easier. Steal and redistribute is the name of his game. He's made his ENTIRE living as a politician peddling Magic Thinking to the functionally illiterate masses.

    As for Germany, you made it quite clear, Germans can no longer afford to have the children needed to pay for all the Magic Thining their parents and grandparents are engaging in. Thus, Germans either have to give up their Magic Thinking and live in the real world, with limits, which requires sound money and capital..... OR import 10s of millions of new humans and DELAY the inevitable. See, THOSE people will ALSO need many MORE children to pay for all THEIR Magic Thinking. Thus, either these new migrant German's get to work their entire lives paying for the current Germans Magic Thinking, only to be shafted in their old age with nothing - OR, they ALSO bring in 100s of millions of immigrants and the population expands indefinitely until it destroys the Earths ecosystems (which is what's happening, thank you Progressive Socialism).

    Ok, and....? Your posts very clearly demonstrate the veracity of Twain's commentary on politics and religion.

    You are being very disingenuous Michael. You were asked a question. Instead of avoiding the question, how about answering it?

    Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

    You don't remember writing, " Statist like Bernie HAVE NO limits. Which is why Welfare Ghettos are now ticking over to 5 and 6 generations! That would NEVER be allowed to happen in a free-market."? Your Libertarian nirvana brought us debtor prisons. That's why you have avoided answering my question.

    Koch Industries also makes money polluting the environment, stealing oil, and lobbying state and federal governments for legislation favorable to their pocketbooks. That's why the Kochs pay NO state income taxes in Kansas while working class Kansans pay 5% of their income in state income taxes.

    Bernie Sanders makes his money representing his constituents in congress. And you don't think that has value? Well your buddies the Koch brothers think otherwise, that's why they spend hundreds of millions and a billion this year alone buying politicians. Bernie and folks like him build the highways, the roads, the bridges, and all the other infrastructure we depend upon every day. That isn't magic.

    That's just more of your demagoguery Michael. I freely pay my taxes. It's the price I pay for living in this country. I could live anywhere, but I choose to live here. I freely choose to invest here and taxation is a logical consequence of investing here. People choose to live here and in doing so, obey the laws of the land. Republicans and fellow conservatives think we have too much immigration...too many people wanting to come to this country and live by our rules. If you don't want to live here Michael, no one is forcing you. You have a choice.

    What you and your fellow moochers want to do is to enjoy all the benefits of this land, but you don't want to pay the price or the cost of those benefits.

    Debtor Prisons predate the USA and still exist. The evidence suggests they are ONLY maintained by the State (Republic, Empirical, Theocratic or otherwise).

    A Libertarian society may or may not have Debtor Prisons - it's all dependent on what free people voluntarily opt for in their private contract with other people around them. What we do know is our current Progressive Socialistic Fascist society DOES have Debtor Prisons - and this is even when we have protections attempting to LIMIT the reach of the State. See, unlike our Statist society - people in a Libertarian society would have to PAY for them directly, and this would mean they'd have to THINK about the real world and the implications of supporting a system that includes debtor prisons. People generally thinking a bit about things they're sent bills for directly. Which is why income tax helps to undermine society while at the same time promoting Magic Thinking. No one is sent a bill for the over paid Union Teacher who's kids cannot read or write - so they don't care.

    This should be east provide the evidence of illegal pollution and "stealing" oil.

    That's correct Joe, it's called peddling bullshit.
    - See, it's easy to TALK about bringing industry here to the USA (while at the same time denigrating Koch Industries). It's altogether different to start a successful company.
    - It's easy to TALK about providing "FREE" education. But in the real world that's a LIE, people are paid. Government Schools provide some of the LOWEST quality 'education' in the world. That's what 'free' buys you.
    - It's easy to TALK about Asian Slaves - it's altogether different to make a smart phone.

    Bernie is good at the bullshitting part, and because people don't pay him DIRECTLY, they like voting for the Magic Thinking he proposes. Which is why Bernie LOVES him some Koch Brothers - see, without the Koch Brothers, or The Jew or The Terrorist, or the Communist, there's no one to blame for why the Magic Thinking is just that.

    I remember hearing over and over and over - hundreds of times, about why Australians were poor, it was all America's fault. Yes, that's right. America's fault. This thing called "America" was to blame. F*cking Seppo's. No, it wasn't Australian's fault, it was America's fault. It was only after the mining boom exploded that suddenly all was right in the world. Or in China when it was all the Evil Capitalists fault. Progressive Fascists like Bernie know exactly what shit their selling. You suckers don't, but he does.

    Except that the USA doesn't have a problem with it's infrastructure.

    No, you could not live anywhere Joe. You're too old to move to most other Socialist Paradises, they wouldn't take you.

    Actually Joe, you are the moocher. Oh course you're more than happy to pay the State a tax - it's the State that's forcing the poor and the weak to pay for your early retirement. Hell, my father retired at 46 on $5000 a month. He could take more if wanted as he hasn't even collected all that the State could give him if he fills in the forms. Bailing out GM was one of the best things that ever happened to him. So, yes, income tax is propping up the system that works for you. But, sorry Joe, in the real world, in the real America - the poor are getting poorer. The middle class is disappearing. McJobs and SlumLords are the reality for more and more Americans. No more mom at home - nope, day supervision centers, SSRI's and Government Schooling is the New American Dream.

    But don't worry, thanks to Government Schooling, the functionally illiterate will keep voting for the Magic Thinking.

    Oh, and where do they exist today Michael? Didn't I say debtor prisons existed during the era of your Libertarian nirvana, back when government did very little in the way of regulation, back in the days before the nasty income tax?

    And how do we know our current "progressive socialistic fascist" society does have debtor prisons? Perhaps you can point one out?
