Is there a genocidal concensus among the powers that be?
Q. Economincal imperialist, plutocracies like our own.. have they implemented a philosphy of poverty?
A. Deep question there my friend.
A qualified yes.
First the United States is not an economical imperialist in the strictest sense of the word. Even though some may say that the invasion of Iraq was to give the U.S. unlimited access to the oil reserves the invasion never was built around that goal and it has cost the U.S. more than all the oil in Iraq could ever be worth.
The free - trade agreements that the U.S. favors generally are beneficial to larger multi-national corporations that have the resources and know - how to exploit the inherent financial benefits of a free - trade agreement. Those companies generally do not contribute as whole - heartedly to the financial well - being of the U.S. and its citizens as do smaller national companies that are often hurt by NAFTA like agreements.
The U.S. has certainly slid towards becoming a plutocracy as "elected" representatives come more and more from gerry - mandered districts and are re - elected without opposition and pass on their seats to their sons and grandsons. These individuals often amass wealth and power and work hand - in - hand with other powerful individuals in religion or business. There is a new book coming out that claims that the world is really run by 6,000 people. Interesting claim with some truth in it.
When it comes to a philosiphy of poverty, well I believe that it is more a philosiphy of greed that leads many to poverty or makes even people who have their basic needs provided for feel like they are poor.
Think about what Americans feel they "need" today.
Two cars. A four bedroom, two bathroom house with a two car garage, plasma big - screen TV and professional kitchen.
The best clothes and gadgets. A full retirement plan with hundreds of thousands in the bank or investments. A two week resort vacation. A large college fund for all their kids so that they can go to a fantastic school.
The consumer culture relentlessly promotes this standard of living and ignores the quality of life issues that cannot be quantified or valued in monetary terms.
This is destroying human culture and causing people to be stressed, harried and too busy to notice the awful conditions surrounding them.
What a mess we live in.
A qualified yes.

can those neon underbody kits for cars be used for home decorating. i.e. a kids bedroom?
Q. was wondering if they can be wired to an exstension cord and plugged in,plus they are packed in silicone filled tubes which would make them safer for a kids room.
A. You would have to convert it to 110V power, those car neons are designed for 12V power. And not sure how hot they may get, it may cause a fire hazard next to fabrics and such.
Another option would be LED Rope lights under the bed, it may have the same effect and be less expensive and safer as well.
And yet another relatively new kid gadget is:

There is also something called "Bed Effects" (As Seen On TV), but the reviews on the product aren't good, most complaints are due to poorly made connections and arriving broke or falling apart in assembly.
Hope this helps!

When you were a kid (16 and under) what type of punishment worked best to modify your behavior?
Q. Please only serious answers
A. If I was under 13 it would be to get a good smack on the butt, and take away something that meant a lot to me.
When I was 16 i got worst. So my parents wouldnt let me go anywhere untill I straiten up, no driving, no dates.
If I threatened to run away, then they would threatened to call the police and have me arrested for a runaway. Then they would tell me that they dont put up with run aways and that they get put into a home that is usually another state. Then I wouldnt have any of my close friends. At that time I believed them and it scared me from being away from my friends.
One things that really made me mad, was I wanted my privacy. Locked bedroom doors was a no. So when I did that or got into trouble, my door came off the hendges for a week.
If I had TV's and a radio in my room, it got pulled out. Along with any gadgets that I may have had that kept it fun in my room. Homework only. If no home work then I had to read a chapter of my book and answer the questions in the back for my parents not school. Or I would have to spell my spelling words over and over again(about 100 times but in sets of 25). This helped me learn to spell and got good grades. Some times the words were not from school but from the dictionary at home.
The worst part was if I disobeyed my parents in front of my friends, my parents would say something embarressing about me. Sometimes it really wasnt true.
But I mostly got wipped on the butt wether it was in front of my friends or not when I was 13 and younger.
If your a parent that lets your children have desserts after they eat or if they are good. Then dont let them have any for a week. Make them start asking for the foods they want to learn respect.
Try to show your appreciation for them when they are good though. So that way they can get better. Try the allowence thing. Give them a dollar every week when they do as their told. Or for good grades.
Good luck... My parents meant well. And I turned out great. Seriously. I am 23 and married with a great job and I respect my elders.
