Is this a word from your sponsor while you dream up an actual response.
Still not figured out what the social contract is then?
It’s basically the minimum the majority will accept before they reject the status quo, often resorting to violence.
King Charles Ist convinced himself there was no social contract until his neck was on the chopping block.
So I was right then, majic fairey dust, right on.

Historical facts, they are called historical facts, not to be confused with your dream thoughts or how you would like the world to be.

I had to pay a subscription fee to down load the contract, don't sweat it guys I wasn't putting my hand out, although the sub was, let's put it this way, unwieldy, so if anyone wants to help that's not me asking because no doubt in TOS you can't solicit money.

No matter how worthy the cause.

Simple concepts are clearly too complicated for you wajoma but unfortunately if you cannot grasp the concept of the social contract without seeing it in print then there is nothing anyone can do about that.
How can you commit to ink something whose associated expectations are different in any given society. It’s not for simple folk like yourself mate just keep banging away on your basement bound keyboard about the goobermint while you tickle the gonads of the rich and powerful and wallow in their excrement.

I'm taking that as a 'yes' you do want to see the social contract. And already the coincidences are eerily popping. The first sentence deals with a point you raise in this very post.

Edit: There's nothing about excrement, you're starting to sound like , shag doody for brains or soothfast. don't be a cock.

If you drive on a road paid for by other people's tax dollars, what do you owe in return?
The road is not built by other people (people other than yourself)....It is paid for by all people including yourself. It is boring how often Zahlanzit et al will say we do socialistic things, like roads and military and OSHA. That is correct, why keep saying it.
I will try to respond to his treatise above, but tell me...WHY are people ike him so obsessed with the rich over on the other side of town? I think that the libs/dependents think there is ONE pie that we all share, and the rich get and keep a large part of the pie. No, there are many pies, someone today will make his own pie. Why can't Zahlanzi bake his own pie?** Why won't he answer this question ? I think he thinks there is only so much money, currency, and the rich people have hoarded a large part of it. He can't go earn money because the rich ....have it??

**Does his country restrict how much money he can make, is that it? The more he works, the more he has to give away?......to a person who does not work as hard as he does?

Kev is right, esp the violence part. Kev, what will you fellows implement for your marches when it all hits, certainly a step up from poster boards I would think.
Remember, Kev, and everyone .....Socialism is for the socialists (I will be one), not for the people under the socialists. That would be every dependent, and then some. You Ok with Soylent Green?

These conservatives love to talk smack about socialists and moochers but it’s all projection. AvJoe here plans to be a socialist and Booger Boy wants welfare! Lols.

zahlooney bamboozle for brains, you speak big majic, where is this majical 'social contract' you speak of? Have you seen it? Is it defined? Or is it as I suspect majic fairey dust?
Don’t be dense. You are a huge proponent of the social contract you just think it has different specifics. The social contract is why you think the goobermint should protect peoples’ lives and property.

'If' I am well-to-do, would it be reasonable to assume that I would sidle up with the socialists, use my sway, to help run the people who live under socialism, ,,,,the society, a word you libs enjoy using ? This question, as usual, is too simple for you.
Would you ask Zahlanzi, and I am being serious as I do to have a working knowledge of socialism, can he own/buy as many cars as he wants to? In a socialist society? I really don't know the answer to that question.

"What you are suggesting reeks of socialism,"
so? I am a socialist

"which is not what we do here"
Yeah you are. You're doing socialism for the rich. You allow "too big to fail" giants to exist, and when they do fail, you give them welfare. You give subsidies to various industries. You give tax cuts to the rich.

You don't believe in pure capitalism either.


"You ...[text shortened]... unter and Joe!!!"
Idiotic nonsense, i can't be bothered decyphering what the hell you mean by this.
I myself get 'tax cuts', it is all legal. Why don't our legislators change the law? Notice they never think of it, because it is the nature of capitalism. Farmers would go under without subsidies. Govt assistance and laws which keep corps alive, to make more jobs, and put out 100 brands of cereal, is what capitalism is about. YOU as socialist simply cannot think in those terms. You only think of other people's stuff.
I us went by a contrition site. The $50/hr hard has were hard at work in the sun. The architect left his air conditioned office and came to the site. He makes abut $2M a year. He looked around, made some comments, and left for the day to meet some friends on the golf course.
Ca you PLEASE tell us what should be done in a situation like this, given the tenor of your arguments, seeking socialistic equality, for lack of a better phrase. Like, we have the delil owner raking in cash while paying waiters $25/hr.
What in the HELL is the answer that you will to tell us? This is what I mean when I say you dont close your arguments.

Next you mention fair taxation. What is that, you ever define it. Now is your moment.

Your paragraph about sheep, living in a society, 'donating ' their labour blah blah, can you be a bit more specific, without suggesting punishing the successful. I hate it when you do that.

Your last para is about billionaires should not exist, I think. Let me jump to the obvious question, which you never answer. Could your son get a job from a poor person.

I'm sorry you dont think the american dream Is alive and well, It most certainly is. Make plans , earn all you can, buy what you want, never even think about the govt. I bet you think about your govt a lot. Esp when you go to the mailbox. Brrrrrrrrrr

No it would not be reasonable. The first thing Commies and Anarchists do is line up the landlords, aristocrats and bosses and execute them in mass. Russians shot them, Chinese impailed them with spears, Irish blew them up with car bombs, Spanish cut their throats or buried them alive…
