Cool, now do guns.

Re: Ordinance Tax farming
You cited "current trends". I'd like to know what those are. There's no point in arguing with an opinion of trends unfounded in facts.Speaker to Animals wrote:brewster wrote:Citation?Speaker to Animals wrote:At current trends, the city as a social construct may become an anachronism.

We are only accustomed to dealing with like twenty online personas at a time so when we only have about ten people some people have to be strawmanned in order to advance our same relative go nowhere nonsense positions. -TheReal_ND

Automation resulting in rising unemployment but also rising production with the eventual end being post-scarcity society. You don't seem to understand the facts, so fuck off unless you want to discuss this like an adult.

You have given no facts, just some speculation, but I'll fuck off since you aren't interested in a civil discussion.Speaker to Animals wrote: You don't seem to understand the facts, so fuck off unless you want to discuss this like an adult.

Do you want to have a discussion or not? If you think the purpose of this forum is to just search the web to print dueling links, then fuck off. I am perfectly willing to discuss this and develop the argument for you. It's an interesting topic to me. It's an intellectual topic, based on argument, and not something one would copy and paste from Salon. Comprende?
