Greatest thread to human civilization : capitalist greed - Stephen Hawkin

[bedowin62]

Idiots. It is amazing how some of the smartest people can be so dumb.
Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than anything else. IT's benefits are literally without precedence.

Opportunity is what allows Capitalism to lift people out of poverty, exploitation by Capitalists creates income inequality and social unrest; it is why Capitalists need to be regulated by a government elected by the people.

Today, do to both Citizens United rulings, and the greed of the mass media, elected officials are purchased by the wealthy and govern for the wealthy.

Simple minds never take the long view, and Rabbi is one of the simplest minds around.

we must have gotten more capitalistic since Progressives started governing us; because income inequality has exploded on their watch; growing AT A FASTER PACE THAN IT WAS UNDER "GREEDY" RIGHT-WINGERS

libs are losers who lie to themselves

Maybe Rabbi is not the simplest mind around?

The rich get richer, and the rest do not, most fall behind. That has been true since the 1981 election. Progressives support a progressive income tax, and taxes are anathema to the current crop of Republicans.

Democrats have been branded as the party of Tax and Spend. What has proven to be much worse is the don't tax and spend Republicans.

Look up how much money was spent on the war of choice in Iraq, how much has the majority in the H. or Rep. spent on politically motivated investigations since Boehner became speaker?

your own mind is much simpler than the people you're making a fool of yourself being smug toward.

Republicans havent been running the government; Progressives have; and poverty has gotten considerably worse on their watch

libs are losers who lie to themselves

In what reality do you reside?

Your second paragraph is convincing you have no understanding of how our Federal Government works; the rules of each chamber of congress and the limited power of POTUS create checks, balances and since 2010, impasse.

Don't post what you hear from Limbaugh or Hannity, it only makes you appear stupid.

if you werent such a mindless, and quite frankly pathetic moron and hypocrite you would have applied your own logic to the rantings coming from your side about the "republican congress".

“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed.” Hawking continued, “Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."

We have been warned.

And we can legislate away our sins through fascism/socialism.

This is what they mean by our "collective salvation".

Repent sinners!! Turn from your sins and vote for Bernie or die in hell fire capitalistic global warming!!

Just out of curiosity, do left wingers baptize yet?

 

[bedowin62]

it has never been the role of the opposition Party to roll over and play dead for an idiot that ACTUALLY told them to "GO SIT IN THE BACK OF THE BUS", and that "elections have consequences"

YOU'RE simply a loser, lying to himself here daily

 

[Wry Catcher]

True. Polluters are the aliens who put profit well before our posterity. And who are the Polluters? Anti Regulation Capitalists off course.

Nice ATTEMPT to spin it, but Hawkins is actually talking about 'little green men', not failed 'little green energy companies'.

I don't know what Hawkins meant since there is no context / primary source for me to read.

The little green (aka wealth obsessed) men I referenced are human beings who pollute our air, water and soil for profit, or vote for those who represent polluters by their voting record as members of The Congress.

split goverment doesnt have to equal impasse; but it has under this President. Once again a left-wing idiot makes the point for the other side failing to admit this president isnt a leader and is unable to build a concensus on anything, or admit the Democrat Senate leader sat on like THREE HUNDRED bills passed by that "do-nothing" Republican-led House and NO; it wasnt because they had no chance of passing that made Reid table them; it was because they WOULD HAVE PASSED THE SENATE.
Republicans ACTUALLY IMPEACHED CLINTON (impeachment is the process even if it wasnt successful) but still managed to work with him, so republicans cant be picking on obama because he's a poor ol "Black" man.

I suggest what you call a rant was nothing more than an echo of how the American People feel about The Congress. But don't just take my opinion:

Lol he's rich. It easy for the rich to say "oh I'm rich but you shouldn't be rich."

Stephen Hawking has an estimated net worth of $20 million.

 

[Wyatt earp]

Its so amusing to see posters on a message board calling Stephen Hawking an idiot. He is the Einstein of our age.

He is right of course. I would add all the rest is just talk as Global Warming is the one thing we will not stop and have never seen before. Physics and chemistry are about to decide which species survive the next mass extinction, which has already begun, and which will go gone. Humans will likely suffer massive losses and if not go extinct come perilously close.

The worst part is most humans don't have a clue about what is coming and soon to arrive. Much like the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

Something wicked this way comes.

.............And that's what they have been saying for forty fuckin years........

Lots of good that does him, what do ya think he is going to buy an ounce of coke and hop over to the bunny ranch?

 

[TNHarley]

They wouldn't need technology to do everything if they weren't being threatened with higher pay. Why doesn't govt go after INFLATION instead of destroying nonskilled GDP with minimum wage bullshit?
I guess they don't care. Hell, this morning one lefty admitted he knew minimum wage hurt the poorest of the poor but he didn't care. He would be sitting back..
Fuck the bullshit for making everyone equally miserable. If you don't want to be miserable you work for it. Capitalism is earned and is the best system in the world. Obviously it has its kinks, but what doesnt? If you would like to discuss the historical aspect, I would LOVE to do it

ET will 'conquer and colonise' humanity, warns Stephen Hawking

"Stephen Hawking: Intelligent Aliens Could Destroy Humanity"

------

"Humans may be wiped out if aliens find Earth warns Stephen Hawking"

The 73-year-old professor and author spoke of his fears of a war of the Worlds style attack should a "nomadic" race of more evolved beings ever find Earth and WANT it.

"If aliens visit us, the outcome could be much like when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans," Mr Hawking told El País .

He does not even believe in God. No matter how much evidence to the contrary.

No, he is not an idiot, he is a fool.

 

[easyt65]

No one is calling Hawking an idiot, just pointing out that his OPINION on Capitalism being the biggest threat to our civilization (which immediately pisses off the Liberal Extremists who insist Global Warming is the biggest threat) - since it is no where near his area of expertise - is about as meaningful as my opinion that bio-molecular engineering has an impact on the airspeed of a laden swallow....

It doesn't matter. He's rich telling others to not be rich and yes I'm sure it has improved the quality of his pathetic life.

"Stephen Hawking has since published a rebuttal to his critics, insisting that “Intelligent design” doesn’t in any way prove that God exists, but only that a “God-like force” played a role in the creation of our Universe, approximately 13.8 billion years ago."

Stephen Hawking Admits Intelligent Design Is 'Highly Probable'

He believes in intelligent design science people. A god like force that isn't god lol. He believes in god but critics have forced him to say a god like force.

And before you rip my source I have heard him say this through his computer voice.

It would seem some people want to enjoy all the toys that capitalism produces and yet want none of the downsides, when you guys come up with the perfect system or at the very least stop consuming the production of those that you so enjoy disparaging, please share,k?

Give us production without profit motive, pollution or capital accumulation!

No, he is not an idiot, he is a fool.

But he does believe in God. He's been pressured into calling it a god like force or intelligent design.

Capitalism is the best thing we have going for this country...
We don't need a bunch of dumb a$$ politicians telling who should be and who should not be wealthy.

Redistribution is only appealing to the weak and envyouse.

 

[easyt65]

Misty...how do you know the computer that 'speaks' for him was not hacked, and that was not even HIS 'words'. Maybe he is rolling around, completely P.O.ed because someone has hacked his computer and is saying all kinds of stupid stuff to make him look bad / as a joke?!

(I am JUST KIDDING....and yes, I know...I am probably going to hell for that. )
