    They aren't actually functions of all governments, or at least not what we consider to be those things. See, ours are supposed to apply to everyone, equally. Which itself is rather socialist compared to other systems when ours was created. Generally in the past if you didn't hold value to the rulers, they simply left you to rot with no place in the system, no help from the system, and typically absolutely nothing more than what you could scrape from the earth, and they then took some of that from you using the very forces we're talking about. Edit: For note, see Somalia, libertarian paradise. And if we're so damn destroyed, why is it that we've hit the worst economic issues by dropping or not applying regulations? And if we're so destroyed why is it that some of the highest taxes in our history are associated with the time that so many idiots idealize?

    Your problem is that you don't know the definition of socialism and you take everything out of context. You are a lost cause.

      What!? Generating wind is not a step when it comes to using wind power, or is it?

      It takes a lot land, resources, and energy to produce and maintain windmills, and they do not produce much electricity and wind is not constant. In the old days windmills would be used by farmers to mill their grains, and it would take more or less time to mill his grain depending on the weather, but it was easier than doing it by hand. Windmills can't power modern civilization, but they can still be used by small farmers off the grid for small tasks such as milling grain or powering a radio.

        Maybe I'll check the transcript of this conversation and see if that's true.

          Wonderful question, I can't want to see CSS's explanation beyond it's what he thinks he's entitled to.

          I don't think he will answer this one, it's way too complicated and he doesn't have thoughts of his own, if Ron Paul (or whatever is his name) didn't say it, he doesn't know it.

            It used to say that. The stupid pos realized that he pissed way too many people off.

            Let me explain: Newspaper headlines are written by sub-editors to grab attention. The Guardian's sub-editor thought that Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change was more attention-grabbing than what James Lovelock actually said. Got it now?

              Once again here is the official definition of socialism. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism[^] 1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods 2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state 3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done. Now tell me how courts are an example of socialism. Courts are an example of standard government function.

              Why don't you start by explaining again how the US government is socialist, so we can be reminded of the inventive word games you will accept when they support your delusion ?

                  Sometimes you get so testy with him. I think its funny at times. By the way what time is it there? It's 2:50pm here. Just curious. :)

                    I just remember past discussions and require him to be consistent in the rules he employs between them. 7:15 am here.

                      I have to agree but not completely, before they even go out to put windmills they do some research and look for the best place to put them and there only few places where wind is constant, but yes, CSS is right, windmills can't power modern civilization, an alternative has to be found, or actually they found it, it is everywhere, but the process to contain it in a safe and cheap way is still in development, hydrogen, also the process to "create" it is still too expensive. But one day, we will get rid of those horrid and dangerous nuclear plants that are sitting there waiting to create a disaster and get rid of oil and its pollution.

                          Lunaticfringe posted a message a few days ago about that "militia" that was planning on being cop killers because the New World Order controlled all federal and local forms of government. One thing I did notice when I was reading the article on them was their current situation. You see, none of them have attorneys. So a group that believes all forms of socialism are an attempt by a secret society controlling local governments is using a court appointed lawyer. (for the IQ impaired: The lawyer is paid for by the government that is oppressing them.)
