You mean to say that workers want to be paid?!  How very greedy of them . . .

I think every mind altering drug should be legal to buy and sell own and consume and be lightly taxed and heavily commercialized and be as deregulated as possible for everyone in the world

I mean that would probably help, would make it much easier to get shrooms or acid which can be helpful, that afterglow is something to be said like the trip can be fun..but the real beauty is the like month of feeling on top of the world and everything is ok after tripping. But it only last so long so more trips are necessary. That said so many people say acid is more intense than shrooms...and I think acid is more mellow than shrooms.Like I feel more in control of my trip on acid than I do with shrooms but so many people say the opposite it seems.

Bring back mental institutions....

Prison/jail is not an adequate substitute I mean a big question with getting rid of mental asylums was 'were do the patients go after' and in a lot of cases it was the streets...or in jail. for sure some may put it in a good light but getting rid of mental hospitals has not had a good effect on society.

Spiritual reality is real but it emerges as "something more" than humans and their cultures in a way similar to how a living cell is something more than a sum of molecules and a living human is something more than a sum of their cells.
Exploring spiritual reality on one's own is full of real dangers, well recorded in practically every religion old enough.

A belief kind of neither theist nor atheist.

nah, they tried it in germany, but it makes it -more- obligatory- too
idk what happened after the kerfuffle?

everybody? wants to be a civil servant, never fear the firing & a bit of thieving by the way
the required iq seems to stop at the lowest common denominator, lying is a prerequisite for any position :skull:

all the wom-mags seem to operate for the office position, in there is still plenty of room for judgemental, ehum sorry, i mean socializzzing

haha the civil servant prostitute untill retirement, are 'clients' still going to pay or is it all benefits by taxes??
for which prices, minimum wages for all ?
but you still have the large contigent of addicts who need more §§
(bc its a trade off, selfworth vs money)
and the proxéneets, also civil serfs as the "occupational managers"?
:wink: :jester:

[the historical megalomaniacal mass murderer of your choice] is not actually burning in an eternal lake of fire, but he is in an astral "penalty box" where he is prevented from harming others and is receiving an immersive remedial ethical education.

it should be funded all out of the general fund. but perhaps the following joke will illuminate things a bit? -

An accountant was at a convention in Las Vegas and decided to check out the local brothels. When he got to the first one, he asked the madame, "Is this a union house?"
"No, I'm sorry, it isn't."
"Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"
"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20."
Mightily offended at such unfair dealings, the man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable shop.
His search continued until finally he reached a municipal brothel where the madame said, "Why yes, this is a union house."
"And if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"
"The girls get $80 and the house gets $20."
"That's more like it!" the man said. He looked around the room and pointed to a stunningly attractive redhead. "I'd like her for the night."
"I'm sure you would, sir," said the madame, who then gestured to a sixty-year-old woman in the corner, and said "but Ethel here has seniority."

Socialism will cease to function when Capitalism is eliminated -- Socialism cannot work without Capitalist funding.

Something similar: socialism is not a way to fight poverty, it's a way to manage excess wealth.

I feel deeply.
Thanks for the reform and opening up.

Which brings me to another unpopular opinion of mine . . .

"There is no such thing as 'too much wealth'."

Capitalists don't think they have "excess wealth".
Socialist government always thinks capitalists (If they still exist) have "excess wealth".

So the government does have "excess wealth" to "manage". :wink:

I think that abortion is a million times more ethical that reproduction and birth. People shouldn't have babies and it's one of the most selfish things people can do
