Comment Re:Or how about no jobs? (Score 1) 307

Housing, food, drink and entertainment - one still need that and I do not see how this is going to be provided to people that have less work as he over-occupied uber-class (the one just below the owners of it all). If you do not provide that you will first need some powerful security forces - these could be quite automated so not so much occupation for a joe sixpack who will miss his sixpack altogether probably. Still even if masses cannot reach the 1% they still cause enough mayhem to make life of 1% unpleasant. So at the end - whatever happens there will be some jobs at controlling of the masses involving beating up the crap out of them and dealing with corpses. Gosh this can even be a ceiling for 'natural' civilizations.

Comment wrong summary? (Score 1) 249

So they found out that sometimes populations get stuck in situations without cooperation and that this is not beneficial for their payoff and for the population as a whole. So how is this showing cooperation is bad or impossible? It just shows that sometimes you get stuck and there is no way out. How does that calls cooperation into question? Only in /.tards eyes maybe?

Actually I recall study that showed that most of the time - the more you work, the shorter your lifespan is. There are of course exceptions - working on own farm in a fresh air of Kaukasus was one. Working on a small farm in India is not.Or to put it bluntly - roof maker is not going to work till official legal pension age because of health issues, a white collar guy is not going to work till official pension age but his life is still going to be shorter and more miserable than those of the '1% elite' - those that can afford to work as much as they want and take care of their health when need be.

Comment Re: The health benefit of alcohol (Score 1) 305

but but but all men are rapists! It is OT for this discussion but it seems to me that in some societies on this beautiful planet, a man approaching a woman must be in a company of a lawyer and a witness just in case things will be investigated. I think making sex between humans illegal, when at least one party does not have a witness and a lawyer at his/her side, is not far away.

but that is not how some understood it. Alco is no help - evil then!
BTW: I know the dark side of alco as I lost a friend and a member of a family to alcohol (or to late effects of misuse). But you can overindulge in almost anything. Humans are very inventive at that.

It may be that alcohol helps in surviving a party with all those people around, that either are too intellectual for their own good or are to silly to allow meaningful discussion. I have a comparison because I had to give up drinking some time ago due to health concerns.I did not have problems without a drink. I had a problem without a drink during parties. I found solution - I do not go to the parties anymore. I have more time and save money too - win,win!
I miss a glass of good wine and/or beer tho. The taste of it especially red wine - I liked it as it made the taste of my meals complete.

I was with you until you somehow got confused about intelligence of people making presumably legal decisions in your (is valid for any) country these fuckwitts are usually not very intelligent and if they are they are either corrupt or committed some sort of silly act that the others made illegal based on their prejudice or bad will. Other than that you are probably right.
