Are You Beautiful? You could Eat For FREE!

[thekeemo]

Capitalism isn't the issue here, btw. It's China's priorities (Though, incentivising people to shape up and look better isn't exactly the worst thing China has done).

its a huge issue in the states. The cia ha funded dictators and wars to spread pure capitalism. Eg Pinochet and Iraq

[Misanthrope]

Odd, most parts you can also eat for free if you're ugly enough to panhandle 

[ForsakenLive]

Honestly I don't have complains.

[Foxxer]

Dude really lol

And the KGB did the same thing to spread socialism, what's your point?

 

I'd rather strive to be the highest common denominator rather than be forced to be equal to the lowest common denominator.

I thought I blocked you

So, you're advocating also for smaller communities (IE, smaller countries?)

yes. there is no such things as a world economist leader. but rather a balance of who does what, in witch quantity.  to make sure everybody is equal in they're individual sizes. 

although it kinda works with a rating system. everybody is equal, and its not because somebody (lets say the US) produce more food than someone else (incert any non agricultural oriented comunity/country) that they have power over them.   its hard to elaborate about it. since its not an actual thing, mostly thoughts I have.    but I think I will continue to elaborate on this at some point in a small book or blog...

I can't wait for someone to eat free one day and then have to pay the next day.

How is that worse than having to pay everyday?

It's not really about the money. If it were me at least (not that I'd ever be able to eat free) I'd be paranoid about what I did to make myself less attractive.

[shiftberry]

What about those who have just had a cosmetic surgery? For sure, that machine would reveal to people exactly how ugly they are  :lol:

Oh, I thought you were talking about not being able to claim the rewards of beauty as people get older and loose their looks. I didn't realise that you were actually talking about people turning ugly overnight.

Nothing wrong with cosmetic surgery.

[Homicidium]

I smell a conspiracy. They are gathering all the beautiful people with the promise of free food. Then they'll seal the doors and release the toxic gas. No more beautiful people.

I mean really, there are beautiful individuals who ruin their physical appearance by that crap.

[Ruostunut kokis]

So if pretty people get to eat for free, what about ugly people? Do they pay double? :lol:

 

If ugly people paid double, I'd have to be paying maybe a dozen times more instead of just twice... lol. I'm that fugly.

[Guest]

Well, I'm beautiful on the inside.

And if they don't believe me, I'll yell at them about how offended I am until they concede that I'm right.

[Camul]

There's also people that look fucking terrible that have benefited from it. If someone abuses it then it's their own fault really.

[RH00D]

Hate it. Any institution (exempting medical institutions and the like), government, school (esp. colleges), etc. that takes physical attributes into account (skin color, voice, whether your reproductive parts go in, out, or both, perceived attractiveness) is toxic both towards the individual and the population.

 

The rewards people get should be based off of their own actions, not just getting lucky with society's perceived idea of beauty or genetic makeup. Racism, ageism, sexism, etc. are all byproducts of this view that physical attributes define who we are as people. It is simple minded, illogical, and old fashion to operate a government, bus system, or (in this case) a restaurant in this manor.

 

Would it be O.K. to give people a free meal because they had blonde hair and blue eyes? No. Is it O.K. to give someone a free meal because they fit society's perceived notion of beauty? No.

 

Of course (as I touched upon above), there are cases in which physical attributes should come into play, such as sports, or medical research. Also for someone's partner, as that has to do a lot more with the individual's personal views toward what is attractive. That should be pretty self evident.

 

 

 

Not sure if you are joking, but some people actually think this.

People shouldn't be so animalistic. Does that 'ugly' person know a lot about severe weather systems? If so, I'd probably sit over there. Does the 'beautiful' person know a lot about the Sr71? If so, I'd go sit by him/her/other. Unless I am looking for a partner, I don't care how they look.

 

8/8 gr8 post m8, I do appreci8 and congradul8.

 

Seriously though, QFT.

[Phillyphries]

well I think the world would be better in a communist way of being. as of everybody does they'e part. everybody is fair. without the leader. the comunity decides of stuff. in small groups . its complicated to explain in text. but its a very good way of being for humans. as there is no bullshit and thief and stuff. as long as people follow along and don't ''cheat'' to gain benefits... then again. explaining how it works would take hours

 

I think that's already been tried before

 

And I'm pretty sure it never works lol

[givingtnt]

the reason it doesen't work is hard to explain, but ''easy to understand''  think about it, how do you know no one is behind your back ? you know only personal stuff about you. everything relies on trust. wich is something you need to ''force'' in someone at a young age. if you let them experience with no trust and stuff like that. it becomes very hard to sustain in such a civilisation.

The reason that idea of a community based government where everyone works together is based on the flaws of human beings themselves. Every attempt to create a truly communist society has been killed in its infancy because human beings cannot manage themselves in such a way. 

 

What happens if that "trust" is broken? Do you not think humans are incapable of suppressing their personal ambitions? Therein lies the main problem: "trust" is something that cannot be "forced". Trust is strong when based on merit. Why would you just trust anything? There needs to be a reason behind trust. 

 

You cannot create a movement/government change with no leader. Throughout the many socialist revolutions in recent history, the ruling party/class is thrown out by the people; however, there is not one instance where the power does not revert back to a single person. Salin, Mao, Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Kim Jong-Sung..

 

And can you guess the only successful 'communist' country to date? China, which since Deng Xiaopeng reverted the country's economy to a more 'capitalist' system. There is proof throughout history that says we simply cannot, as humans, abandon our ambitions. That's what makes us human. We all live for our own best interests.

 

The only way to enforce socialism is through many many years of oppression. Think about it, Mao killed MILLIONS of his own people throughout China's first experiment with socialism, only for the country's next leaders to revert back to capitalism in modern times.

there is not a single leader. everybody is a leader. id need to make a drawing. it works with some kind of subgroups and divisions.

There is no government with no authority. You can't just "trust" people to do their part in society. There's no incentive, nor stopping of anybody from going rogue.

 

It's like trusting wolves to be sheep, but with nothing holding them down.

[shiftberry]

Yes, totally.

[Camul]

Yes, totally.

I really can't tell what you meant by that.
