@hossein_hosseini Hello. I'm a woman. I'd like to visit Iran. Is it okay for a foreign woman to travel in Iran alone? Also, I understand I must use a headcovering, but do I need to cover my arms, too? Can I wear clothing just to the elbows on my arms? Thank you for any advice you can give me.

@HotSufff LOL

@IVAN-V-SINČIĆ Come over. I want to have sex with you. Now.

@RexGreeley Yes i am right because they have shown 0 evidence. Check something instead of trusting dogmas and stop being dumb and brainwashed.

@MTGHummus Ummm where did you get that conspiracy theory?

@pe7erpark3r alright, two or more people*

@pe7erpark3r Maybe because money is now an ethos, represented by wealthy people who act against the rest of society’s interests. The power is when money is enough to builds strength, and its organization of profiting contributes to that power. Money creates political power even for politicians who do it because it creates wealth. It makes me think about how great communist in confiscating properties of rich in the past

@kaia_ said in Is Capitalism Evil?: @pe7erpark3r So we can say that it is good as long as we avoid manipulations at any level and by any group. Market forces will helpful if the rules are properly followed, then we need to change our consumer behaviour, and teach the children right. We won't avoid manipulations. I'm a realist, not a dreamer. People will manipulate. However this is an important topic indeed: virtue. And I will write something about that too, because it actually does play a big role in politics too. Because no matter how good the system is, the more people do evil in society, the more definite it becomes that the system breaks. You cannot mitigate immorality except by fighting immorality itself in the place where it sits: the individual! We can't avoid manipulations, but we can and should put mechanisms in place, that minimize the effects of a single manipulation. We also need mechanisms that favor transparency, however not forgetting that secret meeting too are an essential part of making politics. You mentioned another important issue: groups. People form lobbies. They push their own interests. This is also natural and has both good and bad effects on society. We will talk about this too in one of the upcoming articles... Changing consumer behaviour is an important task indeed. We do need morals, and we need to give our children a framework in which they can safely work their way as they grow, deal with things one at a time.

@Vicious-Retard The western world(Many don't consider Eastern Europe to be a part of the West; they might be right) in general is very godless and secular especially since the past few centuries. USA might be godless too. But surprisingly USA is one of the least godless countries in the western world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Importance_of_religion_by_country

For some countries, the carrying and use of weapons could be tightened (you know which ones) There is no point in banning something that saves the lives of decent people every day (bad people will always find their way to guns and they will not be interested in not having papers for it)

@princeofvibes Maybe lol

@Vicious-Retard i wouldn't really call the new deal a "communistic economic policy", but whatever floats your boat, dude

@JamieM117 said in politicians are sleeping: Here's the problem though, people are saying it's a good time for the rich and while this may or may not be true there is a bigger problem. They are losing money with less workers in the workforce and less people out buying. They didn't want to do this when COVID-19 hit the US, no they wanted to keep making money. If you aren't a 1% your life is forfeit to them, the real question isn't freezing the economy, it's how we deal with the fact that we are all cannon fodder to begin with. What do we do about it? Honestly... I think maybe it's a good thing everything is going to fall apart. That way we'll get rid of the enslavers of humanity. We just have to rebuild the system in a better way. I have a few ideas. For one, taxes should be exponential. E.g. the more you make, the more (in percent) they take from you. Because the problem are the super-big companies, and the super-rich. We don't need them. They are bad for society. We don't need super big. It should just get harder and harder to make more money, the more you have. Currently it's the other way round. If I had a few millions, I'd be a billionaire in no time. This is crap.
