[I know you don't like it, but--the Daily Mail.]

[Chapter 24]

Doesn't surprise me, unfortunately. :(

Kind of reminds me of when congressmen vote against a raise in the minimum wage and then vote raises for themselves.

[spartan]

Well if ever you needed a reminder that all politicians are hypocritical double standards bastards...^

We should hire their chefs when we eat the rich.

i thought that was so disgusting when i first heard about it...

jeez Tom, get up with the times. More recently i learned about a 61 yr old woman who was given ticket for "trespassing" at a McCain town hall meeting.:confused:
she was simply standing in line with a sign that read "McCain = Bush". now she has a court date.:blink:
how ridiculous,eh?

Sorry my subscription to the Daily Mail isn't up to date. I usually only read British newspapers that feature topless women with big hooters. :D

He's referring to tabloids like the Sun and the News Of The World - usally they are centre-rightist crap that are often full of bigotry, sexism and rascism.

Out of the mainstream newspapers, the better ones are the Guardian (which is centre-left) and the Independant (which tends to be non-biased).

Mmm looks yummy.

i didn't know we were being so serious...
god, i wish there was an emoticon for sarcasm. it could be a smiley dripping drool or something.

Just saying, didn't know you weren't serious.

I played golf today at a pretty fancy resort near Sarasota FL with some friends--right when I checked in, they had copies of the Daily Mail--printed in America for the British visitors to Florida every Wedensday. (Max Mosley's doing something kinky--that's all I remember from leafing through it.)

Learn and grow Grasshopper--you have been warned TWICE by a Commie Club Member. I'm sure on orders from the Rev Left Central Soviet Committee of Commissars of Propaganda and Discipline. Though honestly I've also seen such orders come from the RevLeft Extaordanary Soviet on Interdisciplinary Discussion and Forum Unity. Even sometimes from the Revleft Union of Solidarity for Revolutionary Causes.

Anyway, my spies tell me that they have a thread on you in the Commie Club already!

You are future Gulag meat--to be sure. :)

WELCOME!!!:lol:

[Dust Bunnies]

Wow what a complex menu, can't I just order a pizza?:D

[534634634265]

yeah, but it would be foie gras and caviar, with baby fetus au jous for dipping it in.

and the rolly-eyes emoticon can be other than sarcastic. you roll your eyes at blatant stupidity too. I roll MY eyes when i see people act like a stereotype. i need one thats clearly an indicator of sarcasm in every event its used. like a drooling retard smiley. whose avatar is that? it would be a perfect sarcasm smiley. the spinning eyes with hillbilly teeth one.

Globalization will continue to destroy us all.

a trully insightful comment.

[Die Neue Zeit]

The current food production problems revolve around meeting demand from three sources: organic food consumption, biofuel production, and typical food consumption. Typical “mainstream” solutions revolve around the further development of agricultural technology in order to increase production for the two latter demand sources, thereby freeing up land for organic food production. However, there is only so much arable land on the planet. One radical solution being proposed is vertical farming, which has, according to Dr. Dickson Despommier of The Vertical Farm Project (http://www.verticalfarm.com/), the following advantages (among others):

1) One indoor acre is equivalent to several outdoor acres (due to multiple floors being used);
2) Droughts, floods, pests, and other weather-related crop failures are avoided (due to the crops being grown inside);
3) Because of the lack of pests, food produced by vertical farms can be done so organically (thereby increasing organic food production and overall food production at the same time);
4) Some industrial equipment, such as tractors, will be rendered unnecessary; and
5) External farm land can be freed up to allow the restoration of ecosystems, which in turn will absorb more carbon (with all the current talk about carbon emissions and global warming).

However, given the massive economies of scale regarding this still-industrial form of agricultural production (just the mere construction of these more than offsets the absence of tractors and pesticides), this will prove to be too capital-intensive to fit within the small-cooperative model (it is already too capital-intensive and “unprofitable” to fit into the schemes of bourgeois capitalism).

Indeed, on a historical note, economies of scale eventually drove the Soviets to abandon “Comrade” Stalin’s historical compromise on the collectivization question and thereafter promote the sovkhozy (state-owned industrial farms) over the kolkhozy (collective farms legally owned by those operating them). Every sovkhoz worker was a proletarian, whose “respective existence” as a wage slave and lack of exposure to the profitability risks that plagued the kolkhozy (similar risks, but of a lesser degree, belonged to the state) obviated any need to earn income on the side through private-plot production (existing adjacent to the central kolkhozy).
