Which "system" would you rather live in.

[xfire]

I would never ***** of stealing your thunder.

Don't talk about yourself like that. :tongue:

Nut :tongue:

 

[Sam Fisher]

Communism would be interesting

 

[Rane1071]

You mean anarchy. If you can shoot anyone then anyone could shoot you.

Also you forgot, you would have to deal with the sheriff, and other people that would be after you for ******* people so haphazardly.

Nuh'uh! Not if you're a supa-fly, steathy-ninja, ******* machine.
Not to mention a god-damned sexual tyrannosaurus. Just like me. :tongue:

[Thomas O'Malley]

I'd choose for femalism. :thumbsup:

 

[Straight Shooter]

Social democracy. We'd have universal healthcare, free education, and a secular and socially progressive policy

 

[Deepcover]

Socialism of course. My political views is Democratic socialism.

 

[Straight Shooter]

Capitalism is the single most successful engine of growth in human history. It is responsible for lifting more people from starvation and misery than any known alternative. But capitalism is not a monolithic concept; it comes in different forms and it cannot exist without a well defined legal code. The question is not whether to regulate capitalism: It is how to regulate it.

 

[Galactic]

Capitalism. Far and away given the choices.

 

[abrogate]

Winston Churchill once famously said that "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." I wonder if we can say the same thing about capitalism?

Iceman nailed it with the following....

Which nation is democratic?.. "democracy" isn't mentioned once in the Constitution of the United States of America, it isn't mentioned in The Bill of Rights and it isn't mentioned in the constitutions of any of the individual 50 states. So... :dunno:

Can anyone point to even ONE example of Communism or Socialism succeeding? Just one. Just one example.





That's what I thought.

I guess Athens the was.

Since you're being technical, the US Constitution doesn't have to mention the government being a republic. It defines a government that is a republic.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

I don't get it: does the question ask us which system we want to live in as they are right now, or which system we would want to live in if it was perfect conditions for it?

Capitalism in the former and Communism in the latter (assuming it's the whole Star Trek deal). Anyone who tries to argue for anything else is some kind of stupid, I think.

 

[Facetious]

Social democracy. We'd have universal healthcare...]

..The quality and service of single payer medicine/ universal healthcare can only be as good as the govts ability to fund it, seems to me that the government is neither timely or proficient when it comes time to creating a budgets, just look at history.
Be careful what you wish for because you might end up being the poor soul who has to hear something like this,
"Sorry Mr. Iceman, we understand that your cancer needs immediate treatment, but there simply isn't enough revenue in our budget to treat you...how about we book you for another look see in about 3 months? Yea, hopefully (wishful thinking) by then we'll have the resources available to treat you... or, you could jump the border into the states for prompt service just like the Canadians have been known to do... Wait a minute! We're in the states!!"
:surprise: :uohs: :rofl2:

free education

It's not the role of government to be involved in educating its citizens, particularly post grade 12. Seriously, if the government has a monopoly on education, they (the bureaucrats) get to chose the curriculum, and from the looks of things, the government is in control of education today more than they have ever been in the history of our country... have you seen where American students rank these days in comparison with the rest of the world? It's embarrassing!

Are you sure you want to go there?

and a secular and socially progressive policy

meaning exactly what?


:2 cents:

 

[Rey C.]

If I wasn't growing so weary of rubbing my hands against my head, I'd offer a poll which asks: how many people know the difference between economic systems and governmental systems?

It's bad enough that Latin is no longer taught in most school systems. But it's unforgivable that adults continue to debate economic versus governmental systems, comparing and contrasting apples and oranges.

 

[Facetious]

A capitalist leaning system might help.
