    I just think this site is really funny. Do you think this is an appropriate form of communication in this digital day and age? Would this help you to connect with others or hinder you?

    In fairness, there is also an Anonymous Praise section of the website that I think is very cool.

    Not too long ago, the Internet was the American frontier, where society was more primitive and you could live very much how you wanted. Now, as more and more settlers move in, more and more rules pop up in attempts to restrain how we live virtually.

  • The government is helping out, "redistributing" money to the bottom. "The Rich" can use their money and influence to get in. The middle class gets no special consideration or privilege. Because they do work hard, they get to work harder -- and the Ruling Class calls this "justice."

      So. True.
  • And this is what the Tea Party is really mad about.
  • And the balance between the lower class and their upper-class leaders is upset by the injection of the middle class and its struggles to carve out its niche.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • His Communist Manifesto is nothing more than a rant about the evils of this group and how they have inflicted harm and damage to everyone around them through colonialism and ingenuity.
  • Marx and Engels envisioned a return to the simpler time, where a vast lower class was ruled by its betters. Not surprisingly, they saw themselves as leading the underlings to the new paradise.

  • The byproduct of this Socialization is the shrinking of the middle class. When you punish people for working hard, those people will stop working so hard.

    The book from which we read the discourse by Rousseau mentioned how his ideas had a substantial influence on psychological thought. This article from the Journal of Mental Health describes how his ideas about the natural man compare with Freud's and how both apply to whether or not state mental hospitals should exist. Very interesting.
