Hm, you seem to know a lot of German history, but little about German culture and sociology.

So you think that blue collar people are useless parasites, and the university educated people would be better off without farmers and plumbers?

No, and only an intellectually dishonest and openly malicious interpretation of of her work could read that into her work, imho.

I'm curious what her definition of 'force' is, so much of it seems to rest on that. Do you have it handy?

I like this film too. The book however is not very good. Which is odd, usually its the other way around isnt it?

TBH I've never actually read it. Not for the lack of trying, but it was too poorly written to stay focused on.

What madness is this? That is one of my all-time favorite books. The movie, on the other hand, is one of only two movies I have ever walked out of, the other being Blair Witch. I didnt actually walk out of Blair Witch, either, I got dragged out by my girlfriend.

gotta agree that postman was rather awkard, especially towards the end...
Try The Road, much better imo.

No, try Startide Rising. David Brin's Uplift stuff is the bomb. If Spore had been MORE like that people would actually play it.

Potjeh is referring to Ayn Rand hth

You are right, my bad. I cant argue with him there, although I did manage to finish a few of Ayn Rands books.

Back to the postman, I admit looking shocked and pulling a gun because you smell bear fat is pretty odd behavior. Otherwise, awesome book, awesome ending.

So what explains the obsession with cocks?

[quote="jorb"]With this project, we seek to explore the boundaries of how limitless an economic simulator it is possible to build, and how well we believe it can mirror the systems of spontaneous order that we can observe around us in the real world, of human cooperative behavior and trade on the basis of voluntary, mutual gain.[quote]

[quote="jorb"]Me and loftar have a lot in common...[quote] Oh, not to nit-pick, but in English that is better put as "Loftar and I...". It's one of the most common native speaker mistakes anyway.
