| Here's a big long boring thesis I posted here a long time ago by an Orthodox priest. http://www.oodegr.com/english/koinwnia/politika/kapitalismos1.htm He concludes that "capitalism" as we know it today is actually a product of Western/Protestant thought processes. And Communism is a product of the c... |

| I don't know why. It's probably just leftovers from my youth affecting my mental state today. Maybe I need some CBT to tell me it's not "logical" or whatever and to just change my way of thinking to affect my feelings because that's how it all works and if I only try hard enough I can lift cars off ... |

| On the flip side, take low carbers or Paleo dieters, they're the same way toward others that don't follow their beliefs about diets. Both these sides form dietary cults. I disagree. Paleo diet eliminates grains and sugars. There is plenty of information written by medical doctors with degrees in hu... |

| I would say both are important and one needs to be able to utilize both sets of skills, theoretical and practical, in equilibrium, in order to be happy. I agree, it would be very helpful for people to learn how to be more practical. I was shocked when I came to university and saw that people didn't... |

| This is sort of an argument I'm having, whether or not children and young adults in school should be taught academic theoretical things that would basically make them cultured and smart or practical things that are less intellectual but are essential life skills. When I was in school, most of the st... |

| Traditional Latinoamerican food is carb rich and very fattening. It's as bad as Deep Southern cooking in the US. And sure enough, the American Deep South and Mexico have some of the "fattest starving" people on earth. Fat starvation is when you eat junk food all the time. Your body is storing the f... |

| I don't think so. However, the only problem with the "What's your excuse" and "if ______ could do it, so could you" thing is it's ultimately pointless. You might as well walk up to blind and deaf people and be like "SEE, LOOK AT HELEN KELLER, LOOK WHAT SHE DID, YOU'RE SO UNDERACHIEVING!" Of course, ... |

For me, it was more that I thought society was just evil and I wanted to do whatever I want secluded away from society and libertarianism was the best means to accomplish this goal. Basically I wanted to be the guy from Anthem. In fa... |

| I don't mean this post to be really about Communism totally as an ideology. As in, the theoretics of the ideology. What I'm really interested in is what day to day life was like under Communism in Russia, East Germany, etc. Specifically, what I'm wondering is, would life in such a communistic societ... |
