Another Question: What would you do with people burdened with severe physical or mental defects? Would that be work camps or military service? Just curious.
I am for: Countries where folks don't whine 24/7 about how the unemployed are cheapening their quality of life.
I am against: Ayn Rand wannabes.

I am against unemployment benefits.
I am for taxing the rich on the larger percentage then the poor.
I would like to remind our audience that genocide is not a tenant of fascism. The Nazi brand, maybe, but not fascism in general.

I think the majorities can be just as guilty as milking the system as any other racial or social class.
These would limit unemployment severely. But like I said before, the entire economy/society needs a work over.
Thats a horrific idea. Your military would go to shit pretty fast. Have you thought this through at all?
Which becomes a horrific political problem. I’m really glad you don’t hold an office anywhere.
I cant work. I’m agoraphobic. Am I then only suitable as cannon fodder? I do not receive unemployment benefits, however. Although, I’ve never tried to get any.

So you advocate laying off farm workers, miners, and the logging industry (which is not automated), and then reemploying these skilled labourers as slaves in government industry. So too all of the machinists who used to make and service the machines you think are being used to do all of the labour of farming, mining, and forestry.
I wonder also what would be the point of laying off all of those people and of creating giant inefficient medieval farms at great expense, if in the end you're just going to feed the unemployed anyway? Isn't it easier simply to give them a benefit cheque and allow those farmers and miners and lumberjacks (as well as all those machinists) to keep their jobs?
I wonder too what happens when these folks become too old to perform unnecessary and inefficient manual labour? Perhaps they could be made into soap.
I am for: using soap.

That was pissing me off for some reason.
And more importantly, I'd like to ask how one knows that morality is dead... Because that's the first time I'd heard that it had died. And, seeing as I considered myself a moral person, I'm ashamed that I wasn't invited to the funeral.

Slade, who's trolling?
I'm not sure this was a terribly serious topic to begin with. Perhaps Mr. Logan is just playing devils advocate.

Perhaps.
Yes. Which is why we need to rework the economic system.
Yes I have. The conscripts, cannon fodder if you will, will be used as distractions so the proffesional army can make advances into enemy territory under cover.
Perhaps.
You can work in a mine.
Morality was first preached 3,000 years ago by old men who molested little boys. Tell me of an age were human beings were moral.

I never said employed people would be redeployed. Who works on farms? On a one acre farm maybe 1 person with a tractor and attachments for that tractor. Those who would lose their jobs can be the new chief executive officers.
Why? A human being is worth more then a bar of soap. That idea is horrible. It takes 21 years to raise a human and you want to waste those years by turning them into soap.
