[QUOTE=Lachz0r;43965956]ethics code. alot of (respectable) news organizations won't allow their journalists to flat out lie about who they are to get a story[/QUOTE] seems like it worked out for the better tbh, really exposes how scared they are of this stuff getting out when like 40+ people start flipping the shit and hyperventilating
In times like this it's difficult for me to keep my cool and not say something that would counter with my belief that the death penalty is wrong and killing people is generally a bad thing. I wish the worst to these fucks.
[QUOTE]The first and most obvious conclusion was that the upper ranks of finance are composed of people who have completely divorced themselves from reality. [/QUOTE] yep
Kinda makes you wish for a communist revolution Not that I actually do want one, it would just be interesting to see these shitlords get wrecked
[QUOTE=Jmir 54;43966112]Kinda makes you wish for a communist revolution Not that I actually do want one, it would just be interesting to see these shitlords get wrecked[/QUOTE] Yeah, and everyone else too. And then a new elite establishes themselves, and they actually will have complete control over everything. How about no.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;43966435]Yeah, and everyone else too. And then a new elite establishes themselves, and they actually will have complete control over everything. How about no.[/QUOTE] It would probably be the same people, if they weren't killed or something.
what happened to secret societies just getting togather to get shitfaced drunk... also with everything that happened LAST year with secret conversations being taped they didn't beef up security any? GJ rich fucks but seriously these guys were all starting out in the 80s so what do you expect
[QUOTE=CrumbleShake;43964162]I was expecting something more like this. [img_thumb]http://zogarok.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/eyes-wide-shut-chap.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] You were expecting Q putting humanity on trial? :v:
So it's bad to goof around if you are rich?
[QUOTE=OrDnAs;43966799]So it's bad to goof around if you are rich?[/QUOTE] Jokes are ok. Cross-dressing is just plain weird.
[QUOTE=Blazedol;43966828]Jokes are ok. Cross-dressing is just plain weird.[/QUOTE] Cross-dressing to specifically make fun of people is wrong.

Who the hell cares what they're wearing. Doing dickish things is what matters.

From my experience in the upper middle class and knowing people from nearly all socio economic strata, the richer people are, the more divorced from reality they are. You go from down to earth poor and middle class people to moderately rich people talking about the poor needing to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, to, well, these freaks...
The most interesting part about this is the fact that they're basically celebrating that they destroyed the economy and took bailouts.
[QUOTE=dai;43963990]man I bet the dude's heart stopped when he got caught, but what the hell was he thinking just blurting out "I'm a reporter" when asked who he was.[/QUOTE] he's a journalist maintaining his honesty and integrity, the attendants might be separated from reality, what's right and what's wrong, but he isn't. plus, this [quote]“Who the hell are you?” Novogratz demanded. I felt my pulse spike. I was tempted to make a run for it, but – [B][U]due to the ethics code of the New York Times, my then-employer – I had no choice but to out myself.[/U][/B] “I’m a reporter,” I said. [/quote]
I did enjoy one of the jokes about Hillary Clinton from this.. "What's the difference between Hillary Clinton and a catfish? One has whiskers and stinks, and the other is a fish."
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;43966435]Yeah, and everyone else too. And then a new elite establishes themselves, and they actually will have complete control over everything. How about no.[/QUOTE] Yeah I don't think you know the first thing about Marxist revolutionary theory.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;43968031]The most interesting part about this is the fact that they're basically celebrating that they destroyed the economy and took bailouts.[/QUOTE] Either these sick fucks don't understand the damage they've done, or they don't care, but either way I'd like to see them be judged psychologically unfit and have them stripped of everything. The only thing more horrifying than these men and what they've done is that there are still people out there who defend them.
[QUOTE=trotskyy;43968372]Yeah I don't think you know the first thing about Marxist revolutionary theory.[/QUOTE] I know it will never work on this world is that enough?
[QUOTE=Blazedol;43966828]Jokes are ok. Cross-dressing is just plain weird.[/QUOTE] woah there let's not say things we can't take back
[QUOTE=trotskyy;43968372]Yeah I don't think you know the first thing about Marxist revolutionary theory.[/QUOTE]That may be, but Marxist revolutionary theory has nothing to do with a goddamn thing. Your name is "trotskyy" which, and correct me if I'm wrong, is referring to Leon Trotsky who's only fault was constantly asserting that the revolutionaries weren't sticking to the plan. You know, that Marxist revolutionary theory thing was kinda important to him and he didn't like where things were going, especially after Lenin died. You know how his former BFFs (specifically Stalin) handled the idea of truly giving power to the masses? Trotsky got a fucking ice axe in the back of his goddamn head.

Trotsky got a fucking ice axe in the back of his goddamn head.[/QUOTE] It has everything to do with the statement that 'it will never work in this world.' The vision that Marx and Engels laid out in The Communist Manifesto is abstract and, on the face of it, almost utopian. And this is all that people attribute to his ideology. But Marx and, later, Lenin actually laid the groundwork for the revolution and how it was to pan out in order to work. Stalin built his Russia on the graves of the revolutionaries, he wasn't following the ideology. He was a turncoat with no shred of true passion for the revolutionary cause. And Trotsky challenged that, yes, and was killed with an icepick, but what is that meant to prove? Are the beliefs and ideologies of everyone who is murdered automatically obsolete? Was the racial equality movement made irrelevant because MLK was assassinated? And why do you consider his criticism of the revolutionary events of Russia in the early 20th Century to be his "only fault"?
This is just evil

That theories, ideas, and concepts are only as strong as those who believe them. So, yes, the beliefs and ideologies of everyone who is murdered, exiled, driven out, imprisoned, or otherwise incapacitated are essentially null and void. They're not destroyed, but they are literally powerless if nobody subscribes to them, which didn't happen with MLK. Racial equality continued to be a struggle because others believed in MLK, his death was not also the death of racial equality, but rather, strengthened the belief and resolve of others. Saying that somebody doesn't understand Marxist theory when they point out that a communist revolution would end in a catastrophic failure doesn't make sense. Global revolution didn't happen, and the USSR turned into a bullshit clusterfuck that oppressed it's citizens through fear [i]in spite of[/i] the idea that created it. In fact, the USSR was just as far from the utopian vision as the Tsarist government it replaced, which made the conflicts that followed the revolution essentially pointless. Theory, however noble, means [i]nothing[/i] the moment it is tossed aside after the revolution, which is usually what happens with these sort of things.

Nelson Mandela was locked up, ridiculed, attacked and so on so forth for the cause he fought for. Eventually he became the leader of the country, sure, but he sold out on the beliefs he held in his younger years and as a result South Africa remains as torn and devastated as it ever was. The failure of his idea has nothing to do with its validity. Look at it this way. When Jmir 54 joked and said that s/he sort of wishes there was a communist revolution, he wasn't saying "I sort of wish that there was a recreation of the Stalinist state to put these bozos in their place." He simply said that he wishes there was a communist revolution (though it was a joke). He was pointing to communism as an ideology, not the historical failure of a distorted version of the idea. Now communism as a political ideology belongs to Marx, Engels and perhaps even Lenin, and the ideas of these men do not support the actions that Stalin took. In fact the Marxist-Leninist revolutionary method actually puts steps in place to combat exactly what happened in the USSR, and so Trotsky was right in criticizing the revolutionaries of the time for not staying the course. And so 'saying that somebody doesn't understand Marxist theory when they point out that a communist revolution would end in a catastrophic failure' indeed [I]does[/I] make sense, because not all communist revolutions are going to follow the Stalinist example, but rather the Marxist recipe.
