    There have been many good will gestures in the past but it's totally unnecessary for the central government of a nation to do something that in no way helps it's own people. The judgment of the leadership could determine this but if it comes down to humanitarian aid versus the space race, it's probably more in any nation's interest to go with space probes because technology is a major economic and political issue, which can tip the balance of power. So, let good will organizations and individual donors help the people if you have to choose.

    So this is a thread about communism and it's potential in a human world. I have a friend who would like to see a world with a working, fair communist government. Is that even possible? U.S.S.R, for example pretty much rebelled on the backs of the peasantry then said, "You know what, screw the workers." The people up top controlled everything and imposed horribly unjust laws and caused much of it's population to die. China, did something similar, however instead of remaining mostly communist this government allowed capitalist economics but kept a dictatorial stranglehold on it's peoples freedoms to own land and speak freely. This is what the world knows as Communism. Is this what communism really is? The answer is no.

    These are just more examples of dictators manipulating people into giving them power and flying a false banner to unite people under them as they ascend to power. Communism is the simple economic system under which the central community not necessarily the government holds all the resources and distributes them equally to all people for putting into the metaphorical pot for everyone. This may sound good to some, terrible to others. On the one hand, everyone is equal, everyone gets the same amount and the community gets everyone's support. This has worked for smaller communities across the world, but whenever the size of this community goes up there are problems. However, on any scale the problem of equality of opportunity versus equality of results problem can arise. It's communist equality of results side is simply characterized as one person with a simple menial job ends up with the same assets and paycheck as a person who studied many hard years in medical school to become a doctor. ON the other end is the capitalist side where everyone can get any job if they're qualified to get it and that decides their pay, medical plan and retirement. This seems very appealing because all people wish to get ahead and have something.

    That leads to the second issue with communism, property. In a communist system the land belongs to the collective not the individual and as such no stealing can occur because you own nothing to steal to begin with. This gives rise to the problem of people wanting to have extravagances, which in communist societies cannot be obtained because they must benefit the group rather than one out of the group. On the other end the capitalist system is all about people buying, selling and generally exchanging goods and services. So, in that system it is a good thing for people to try to obtain extravagances that make life possibly more enjoyable. The final point regarding communism is the governing. In small agrarian societies that put this kind of system into play it was easy because everyone knew everyone else and they all decided together how to use the groups materials and labor. It was simple an worked out quite easily. However, in a country like Russia with the largest land area of any nation and at least inhabitants in almost every far flung corner this system of government won't work at all. So this give the people the decision of how the feel is best to govern this large group fairly. In almost all global cases thus far this has lead to dictatorial regimes. So what if the communist system was run by a democracy, where the majority ruled in the group and decided what was best for everyone else? It is hard to say because it has never successfully happened and there are far too many contributing factors in the equation to properly predict the outcome.

    So, is communism a better idea than capitalism? Does it go against human nature to ask people to care for the group over themselves? Can the competitive nature of humans destroy an otherwise workable system? Most of all, could communism ever work at a global or national scale?

    Well, first off don't drink them. Not the smartest of ideas, true I had a worse experience when I got bleach in my mouth but this one was no picnic either. That's why when you're cleaning out your ears you shouldn't pour hydrogen peroxide into your ear without a spotter.

    I wouldn't expect this to work out. EGM had this in the rumor mill section. A lot of the stuff there doesn't exactly pan out. I'm always wrong though...

    I'm up to date on it. It's very good in my opinion. It's weird but is well drawn and doesn't do anything ridiculous like so many other series tend to do. One of the best things about it is probably the fact that even though people are dying left and right you have enough humor to keep it up beat for a lot of the time.

    Feh. Death Note is certainly one of the most influential series of manga and anime to exist, but it's old now. Anyone who acts like it's new is deluded and anyone who acts like it's the best thing since Rick Astley is overestimating it. It's interesting and poses a moral argument but other series do a way better job of that. I'd say it's not a fad but a brief resurgence in popularity, it's days of being the new hot stuff are over.

    I can't sleep

    I had to make a thread about my harrowing experience. I just finished a manga series that ****ed me up. I never knew a comic could do that but the whole depraved world hooked on drugs that cause spontaneous human combustion, murder, rape and other kinds of ill events is more than disturbing. I mean, I've been disturbed mentally many times in my life but this is the kind of thing I'm gonna lose sleep over. Mental scarification is not good kids. Remember that as I watch you from the pits of hell. Good night.

    Fire Candy

    I'd like to start by saying this series messed me up in a serious way. It's totally inappropriate for pretty much any sane person and is not recommended to anyone under any circumstances. The themes are really, really dark and sickening. It's pretty much madness and insanity in manga form. That being said, the art was good enough and the moral argument was pretty damn profound. So, it was philosophically deep, but the author could've gotten the point across without mentally scaring the reader. If anyone else has read this I'd like to hear your thoughts. If no one else has, I'd like to leave it at this.
