    lol I have a Conservative white friend that's always ? about "entitlements" and whatnot. Always listening to Rush and Hannity.

    Dude is a union member who's worked 6 weeks in the past 2 years. Literally.

    Says its "the government's fault" for making him lazy with fat unemployment checks.

    See things havent changed in here. Still hung up on labels like "conservative" "progressive" "democrat" "Republican"

    Im talking about survival. Standing out in the sweltering heat for a piece of paper in hopes for some housing is sad. ? who you vote for. I ripped up my voter card along time ago.

    My question is what will all these people do when the well is dry?

    Its true, its not a conspiracy theory. Go read for yourself. The government is fighting to keep housing prices up to protect investors and banks. Thats common knowledge.

    No, but if you have atleast 9th grade comprehension skills you can understand what the government says what they are doing.

    You still on that financial apocalypse ish i see. ? I'm more worried about A) Peak Oil, B) Global Warming, C) Muthafuckin Pakistan than I am about that. There's alot of bad ? on the horizon. Could hit all at once.

    But if it all falls down NOW.......only two things are gonna matter:

    and if Katrina is any guide, in the initial anarchy there will be tons of violence in the hood because people will settle old scores.....

    It would be more Free. But there would still be poverty, murder, ? , etc. Those things will never be eliminated, even in your socialist/communist/totalitarian Utopian fantasy.

    Im stocking up on ammo and guns too, initially it will be mass chaos. On top of that guns and ammo will be heavily restricted by the "gubment".

    And if your more concerned about Pakistans, Global Warming and Peak Oil than the Depression that we are already on the precipice of, your not going to prepared at all.

    People having freedom over their own lives, livelyhood and money is the total opposite of despotism.

    That's OK, so long as its done by a private corporation for profit. Like in the Belgian Congo, circa 1900.

    I mean BP ? an entire coastline and the Atlas Shrugged ? couldn't weep for them fast enough. This "Free Market" they speak of is as mythical as the ? 's "World Revolution".

    people wouldnt have that freedom tho, as the resources would be totally hoarded by the already-rich

    What does the theft of private property and foreign occupation have anything to do with freedom. That goes against everything I stand for.

    so born do you think a state should take any action to protect people from predatory businesses or are those profits totally up for grabs?
