To achieve the full benefits of trade, however, we need not just a little more economic freedom the typical mixed economy offers us today; we need a system of full political and economic freedom: laissez-faire capitalism. In such as system, individual rights, including property rights, are recognized and protected, all property is privately owned, and the government does not play any role in the economy (by regulating it, attempting to “stimulate” it, or “re-distributing” wealth from those who have produced it to those who have not).

Today, we live in the most prosperous time in human history. Poverty, sicknesses, and ignorance are receding throughout the world, due in large part to the advance of economic freedom. In 2017, the principles of economic freedom that have fueled this monumental progress are once again measured in the Index of Economic Freedom, an annual guide published by The Heritage Foundation, Washington's No. 1 think tank.

Bounty, seriously, how can you post a statement like this without even questioning the truth of it and at least wondering what metrics are being used to come to the conclusion that this is the best of times for all people the world over? How do you measure that this is the most prosperous time in human history? Are they measuring the GDPs of OECD members? The list of members includes not one country from Africa, and with the exception of Israel and Turkey there are no countries from the Middle East, and only Japan from Asia. On the face of it the boasting for increasing wealth and prosperity is fall down laughable.

Seriously, how do we reach the conclusion that the world is in the most prosperous of times ever? We need to have a clear answer to that question before we can even begin to parse the effects of size of government and the other principals of economic freedom that have allegedly fueled this great global surge in good health and well being.

Isn't there something in the TOS about posting articles in their entirety? I thought someone pointed that out recently.

no, not really. the TOS forbids "Copyright infringement" and leaves it vaguely at that.

mod3 wrote this: "Copyrighted material may be cited in your posts only if you include just the relevant section and provide a link to the full article."

however, not only is it debatable over what's "relevant", posting most of the article, or even whole articles does not automatically disqualify the apparent "infringement" from being considered "fair use."

when other rules of "fair use" are considered (there are 4) the argument for it being a copyright infringement lessens.

in short, mod3 did not interpret the TOS rule correctly.


so comrades, given my "shallow beliefs" and what not, i'll just keep on "plastering" the forums with my "19th century propaganda" whenever the need/occasion arises.

Oh look who showed up. How are you spanky. It's the racist that likes to believe he knows what he's talking about...but unfortunately doesn't know just how ignint he is.

Well let's see spanky. Let them eat cake was a monarchy, but you wouldn't understand that. If you look around and see which countries actually eat well, go to the doctor, live long and prosper, that will be your free market countries. I don't expect you to understand that spanky.

dumb as a post are ya..... evidently u didn't understand the actual question. hit a little close to home did it?

thanks for not answering the actual question, but that's normal for u. poster boi.

Next.

Oh wait....you think that you ask questions and I line up to answer them...hahahahahahahahahahahah

oh hell no, not u.... that would be an indication of intelligence and management skills beyond a single cell amoeba. That would mean ur brains are in ur head, not anywhere boss-hoe can lick them and get jazzed....LOL!

nope... not an expectation of urs - u can breath easier now.
come on boss-hoe, save ur boi from being the only one who cant answer a question. he's just 1 more brain cell loss away from owning 30 cats, and ur the litter box.

Spanky, you've said all of the above before. It didn't make you look smart the first or second time. It still doesn't. Did you want to actually discuss being an affirmative action hire from the ghetto or does your racist hate not allow you to be thankful for getting out...well physically getting out, your mentality is still there. You can actually tell your story here on a thread about leftist fundamentalism and tell people what it's like to rise above your expectations to become a draftsman.

Who needs to be smart around u?? How would u know?

now I know u took an I.Q. test and the results were negative, but u really should look into getting some class..... er, I mean, management classes. Since u don't seem to like My opinion of u - improve urself so there can be some honest dialog here.

not that I expect u to be honest.

Oh spanky...nice try at new material. It would probably sound better in English.

Well see... he doesn't know!! and he cant answer questions ether way!! And doesn't know English ether, even his own pigin.

it must be so hard for u to come here and have a lowly student call u out on ur own business mistakes and u have no answer.....

all u have is a tired old racial slur that u haven't figured out only points out how pathetic ur business Management acumen is because the slur begs the questions ur too embarrassed to answer.

Come on man,..... ur an embarrassment to urself. If brains were rain, you'd be the Atacama Desert.

Spanky, the sky is blue. Too bad you're too dumb to know that. Someone should have helped you remember your colors. How pathetic is it that you don't know colors...and can't speak English.

so u painted the inside of ur colon blue?? Because since ur heads deeply up ur ass that's the only way ur sky could be like the rest of us.

otherwise ur kind of stupid knows no color. So even when u look in the mirror and still see stupid, how do u know?

I told u that plain sugar is affecting ur brain but u still keep ranting on..... Those Cookies & DNC donuts are waiting on u....

Come on man,..... ur an embarrassment to urself.

ur most hated leftist points out ur business acumen sucks Chinese Billionaire style, and that's the best u got?

......colon color management??

Cant speak English and don't know your colors. My you're an embarrassment to affirmative action.

and u're an embarrassment to American business by being exposed as ether a moron &/or fraud by someone u called embarrassment to affirmative action. And u cant get the better of hm.

Well, Chinese Billionaire poster boi.

that makes u multiple ways pretty damn stupid,

On a thread u started!! LOL!!


So go start another thread where I can make the joke out of u that u are.....

Im having trouble understanding your pidgin. Did you say you're taking a class to learn your colors?
