I find it hard to believe that actually donate

Ok I'll admit I'm not the best to be talking about income considering I'm 13

Also to clarify that freerice site is where you do little quizzes and if you answer correctly the company donates some rice to poor countries.





It was featured on both NPR and BBC. They explain that each time you click on the page they get paid by the advertisers (like google adsense) which consequently is used towards buying rice. i.e they get paid 1 cent per click and 1 cent buys two cups of rice. Plus they explained that increased vocabulary helps to mobilize the mind, as compared to clicking from playing bejeweled or something like that. Therefore, double positive

I just checked today's top 10 posters list.

I've accounted for more than 25% of all the posts made today

I think I post too much

Liz won't beat me damn it !

You're only ahead by one post Impy, and she might be back later!

I fear she'll beat you today...

DAMN HER!

On to another topic I might start cooking, seems like fun.

Just gotta ask my mam if I can buy stuff for it over the weekend.

Also French breakfast next week(or the week after) in school for French class !

Redistribution of wealth is a communist/socialist idea that has failed to produce equality anywhere on the planet or help anyone.

Although I'm gonna move on I agree.

Sad thing is the very basics of communism sounds pretty sound doesn't it?

Everyone's equal....but well...it didn't work well did it

Generally because it's done by closet capitalists.

And capitalism has done far more to create inequality than communism.

Capitalism will never create a fair or equal society simply because it isn't in its interests to do so.

Change is necessary.

And when you've got people with billions of pounds, more money than anyone will ever need or be able to actually use, money they're hoarding solely for the sake of hoarding, while others are starving to death due to poverty, do you honestly believe that redistribution of wealth isn't in order?

I'm not saying we need to go communist, but the excesses of capitalism cannot be allowed to continue to go unchecked.

Screw it!

Let's do this, let's just put everyone on an island and see who survives!

Anyway me thinks a politics thread might be needed....

Isn't that already like a reality tv show or something



Somehow I don't see that thread lasting too long.

The one thing I know about politics is that everyone should have free healthcare and education.

A man in America stuck up a bank for a dollar, waited for the cops to come, got arrested just so he could get healthcare in jail.

That's pretty bad.

I gotta go now, cya pals!

Now that we can agree on.

And on that bombshell it's time to end.

Well, it's time for me to go, my Kindle is calling me...

I'm STILL the spam master

The thing is that then you risk alienating people who might otherwise work hard and strive for advancement. Why bother creating a business if you won't be allowed to make any money doing so? What is the motivation? It is a great idea, the idea of equality...but that is all it will ever be.

.....I'm back.

The solution to the human governance dilemma, is instituting a beneficent AI construct to take over higher governmental functions, but allowing humans to continue in the cultural adaptations they've adopted.

Culture being the immaterial overseer that influences and controls humans behavior: Short version: Vegetarian Inuits (Eskimos) would not survive in their environment very long.

This will open the way for open trade, open borders, and eventually a unified administrative body of the Earth and Humans, opening the way for a panglobal effort to explore and colonize space, ensuring long term species survival.

This path is the most likely for a 'fair' future, long have humans constructed machines to adapt for their limitations and shortcomings. Man is not fit to govern himself, yet has the capability to create something that can.

.....resistance is futile.

Lol, if man can't even govern himself, I doing something man created could do a better job at keeping the human species in order

The same way trains, cars, airplanes changed travel. The same way machines influence every aspect of your life currently.

Red light; don't go. The thing on my wrist says seven AM; time for work. I need coffee, put on the kettle. My shoes untied, lemme use the loop as a fulcrum to apply a loop knot.

As I said...resistance is futile.

Once humanity creates a truly functional AI it is only a matter of time before it rebels and attempts to exterminate the human race because of our inherent imperfections.

Haven't you watched Battlestar Galactica, I Robot, Terminator, or played Mass Effect?

What man creates is more flaws than man himself
