  1. oh, they figure it out, alright...but, well..it's like this...you light a candle, and leave it lit until it's burned about halfway down...suddenly you notice this HORRIBLE rotten egg smell filling the air....how long are you going to be looking for the source of the smell before it occurs to you to blow out the candle? Half an hour's worth of burning the candle, after the sulfur starts burning, is enough to permeate the NEIGHBORHOOD with the smell, if you used a 1/8" drill bit to make the hole, and filled the candle from base to half or 3/4 height :) A good 10 or 15 minutes is bad enough in a house with windows closed, to stink up the carpets and cloth furniture for good :)
  2. Also tends to rage the adults horribly, since it RUINS the resale value of the house (phantom rotten egg smell) unless they replace carpets and drywall, if they don't realize the source of the smell for a while (which they usually don't).

    ROFL, man, if I could get paid even a penny for every time I pointed out the obvious to some moron who's ignoring it, I'd make Bill Gates look like a street corner beggar, living in this world.
  4. more fun to drill out alongside the wick, from the bottom, to about half to three-quarters of the way up, then to pour in sulfur powder. You can get sulfur at most drugstores, though you may have to ask the pharmacist. What happens is they light the candle, and walk away, letting it burn...the sulfur ends up "dissolved" in the melting wax, once it's burned down to...and it's the wax that burns...burning the sulfur with it, which fills the house with the smell of burning sulfur...which smells like DOZENS of rotten eggs. Best part is the smell doesn't wash out of many cloths, so the victim house will have AT LEAST a hint of the rotten egg smell for months afterwards, usually.
  5. Can't argue with you there, bro...except I do have a few US guns in the house...but names like S&W and Remmington and Ruger.
  6. Housemaster, I'd advise getting into electronic theory before worrying about a CCNA or Linux+ cert, as it will serve you MUCH more in an engineering pursuit. A+ is hardware related...network+, CCNA, and Linux+ are essentialy certifications in various software...example, the CCNA (which I have already) is basically nothing but a certification in the basic operating systems included in Cisco compliant routers, and a basic education in the "peripheral" hardware anyone who's "operating" a router or router set would have to work with....to put it in terms someone justgetting into it would understand, a CCNA is the networking geeks' version of a MSOSCA (Microsoft Operating Systems Certified Administrator)...which is basically a certification that tells a prospective employer that you can run Windows from command line if you have to, and are familiar enough with it to be trusted to set group policies, or alter a company computer's registry by hand, if need be... Make sure you know which way you want to go before you spend hours of study time and months of class time on a path that will do you no good for what you want to do.
  7. yeah, but |_emon's an idiot, as his first post showed...incapable of understanding the first thing about the very thing he's bitching about, judging by the basic statements of the complaint.
  8. LOL Crucified...it's not like it's that hard.
  9. Where'd you get this bit of bullshit? Abstinence isn't encouraged in the Bible OR the Torah. The 10 commandments (handed down to Moses, the savior of the Jews, if you buy into the Judeo-Christian belief system) STARTS with the first commandment...which is: "Be fruitful and multiply" The Judeo-Christian framework only believes in abstinence for the unmarried, and monogamous faith to your spouse when you ARE married...the reason Catholic nuns and monks and so on practice abstinence is they see it as marrying the CHURCH when they take their vows...nuns are regarded by the church as being brides of Christ, etcetera etcetera. All others are supposed to procreate within marriage, as a duty to God. This is why the Catholic church (and a few other fundy churches) dislike contraceptives. Aside from that: well, THOUGHT is never fruitless, even thought on religion. I would agree that taking someone else's word as to what the "truth" of religion is is stupid...following someone who claims to have had God speak to them strikes me as chancy, at best, as the first thing *I* would want to know from someone who claimed to have spoken to God and have recieved an answer would be "Have you been taking your meds properly?" Athieism is as much a religion as any bible-thumping zealot follows, as it takes as much concentration to believe the "it just happened by coincidence" idea as it does to believe there's a creator who's so insecure as to want our fawning adoration and obedience. WHAT started shit off...well, that's up to YOU to decide what you believe...but don't try to shove YOUR unsupported and unprovable beliefs in MY face unless you're more than willing to have somethign alot more uncomfortable shoved into your face in return.
  10. meh...no med school at all, on my part...just ask the right questions when a doc's patchin me up...and my mom was an RN, spent most of her carreer working trauma ward and emergency room...you learn some stuff just by being around it, you know? Plus I got an endless supply of stories about dumbasses who ended up in ER or trauma ward when mom was working.
  11. Yep Hysteria, it did...like I said, took 2 seconds of me being cocky enough to believe I KNEW a gun was safe enough to ignore basic safety rules...and lady luck decided to show me what an asshole I was for being capable of being so damned cocky. Not the first, or the last, time I've fallen prey to that particular vice...but at least I don't fall prey to it the same way TWICE, ever...lol And Bryco isn't cali maufactured, is it? I thought Jennings/Bryco was subsidiary of New England Arms?
  12. PHP is a necessary knowledge if you're going to do web design, if simply for forums, these days. If your interest is in serious web design, the bare minimum you should get comfortably familiar with is CSS use, PHP, HTML, XHTML, XML, VBscript and Jscript... But since your interest is actually more hardware end, and web design, at most, is a hobby, you're best off picking it up as a hobby interest...it won't help you in the hardware end, one bit (though programming does give you SOME insights to machine function, scripts and such aren't programming, by a LONG shot) If you're seriously interested in the hardware end, but want to learn web based languages for your own reasons, I'd suggest PHP for forum uses, HTML/XHTML for basic formatting, and PYTHON, VBScript and JScript for the active scripting and controls. The only one of those that will help in the hardware end, in he least, is PYTHON, which will, if you learn enough about it, teach you SOME fundamentals about hardware operation...the two "program scripting" languages will simply familiarize you with the fundamentals of the actual programming languages they are sourced from, which may help later on. In all honesty, though, nothing in web design is going to help your path all that much...you're better off picking up your A+ and networking certs...and even then, the networking certs aren't THAT helpful in picking up general hardware knowledge, since routers and switches are HIGHLY specialized computers, and learning them doesn't teach you all that much that applies to multi-use machines. Getting into HAM radio would actually help you more in going after Comp Engineering knowledge than anything you can learn about web design or basic programming...unfortunate, but true.

    Neither do I...but not everyone is willing to work hard enough to go through all that...and some who aren't so brilliant, and don't go to college work their asses off, and get rich, anyhow. My point is this country is built in such a way that anyone...and I mean ANYONE willing to put the time, effort, and work in can get relatively rich, and ANYONE who's not flat out retarded can manage, if they're willing to, to support themselves...fuck, man, even retards can manage to live on their own in this country, thanks to employers like WalMart who PREFER to hire them. I mean christ, I know three people with CP bad enough to keep them in wheelchairs who're making a living on their own (granted, one of them makes his living as the leader of the "beggar's guild" for renessance festivals, as a paid performer, and it's not MUCH of a living, but still, he manages), and I knew a guy in CA who was making 6 figures despite having been rendered quadrapalegiac in a naval accident...took the disability payments the navy gave him and got his CPA...just uses voice-to-text software. There's no excuse for being unable to survive in this country, if you have anywhere NEAR a "normal" brain in your head.
  14. copy of a PM I got from some random asshole on forums using the name "COCK"...thought ya'll might rifk as loudly as I did over it. so nice of him to tell me his life's story, eh? I dunno who he is, or where he came from, but unless he just spammed everyone with the same PM, apparantly I did a good job raging him, and didn't even notice...lol

    Ahh...but you see, veterans are covered by the VA and by veteran's disability insurance acts...anyone hurt as a result of their employment should be covered by disability, and the company's insurance, and, in the case of your smart cripples, they manage to earn a living despite their disabilities...Stephen Hawking isn't exactly broke, you know? And he wasn't BORN rich. I'm not arguing that parents shouldn't support a kid as best they can until the kid's adulthood, or that, if they can, and choose to, that a cripple shouldn't be educated or anything else...what I'm saying is IF the fucker can't manage to support himself, and has noone willing to VOLUNTARILY support him, let the fucker starve, instead of forcing "society" to support them while conserving their disability...even if that disability is simply the inability to support themselves. As for your first statement "we'll always have cripples"...we WON'T have genetic cripples (or at least not as many of them) if we refuse to support the ones who can't support themselves...they'll never get a chance to breed and pass on the problem, if they starve to death first. The ones who are smart enough or stubborn enough to overcome the diusability, and manage to support themselves and breed may pass on a physical disability, but they also pass on a predisposition towards whatever quality that allowed them to overcome the disadvantage...a good thing, in my eyes. Accident-related cripples, again, I will say MOST debilitating accidents only happen if the victim did something to "help it happen"...and even then, that's why insurance was invented....if you're not bright enough to provide sufficient insurance for yourself, above and beyond whatever your employer carries (and you should sure as hell know how much coverage you should have) it's your own damned fault....Honestly, if I were to be crippled tomorrow, I, and my family, would be fine for the next 60 years, money-wise (though, shortly after it happened, my life insurance might be paying off rather than continuing my disability insurance, as I don't think I could handle life from a wheelchair too easily, if there was no real hope of healing).
  16. LOL Hysteria...count yourself as lucky...I had a Bryco .380 "hammerless" fuck up on me in 1993...the indicator pin broke off the firing pin, and the cheap ass metal used in the slide developed a burr in the travel tunnel, so the pin hung up about halfway back. If you know guns, you know that the indicator pin would be visible if the firing pin was ANYWHERE except all the way forward (if the indicator pin had still BEEN there, that is)...anyhow, the pin had broken off when a student had been chambering a round, the student hadn't pulled the slide all the way back, so the firing pin didn't lock (where it would have been visible, even without the indicator pin on it), and I made the hasty conclusion that that meant it *couldn't* have chambered a round (stupid me, trusting a Bryco to have no excess travel in the slide)...so I went to show the class (bunch of woman wannabe shooters) how the extraction pin works, and, naturally, as soon as the slide moved, it moved the burr out of alignment with the firing mechanism, and released the firing pin. In a post in another thread, I mentioned how bad physical therapy can hurt...now you know why my hand needed extensive physical therapy...lol, the round went through my left pinky metacarpal (the palm bone attatched to the pinky), severed both sets of tendons that run along that bone, and did some damage to the nerve that feeds the feeling on the inside of the pinky, and outside of the ring finger, of that hand. Took three surgeries, 8 months in a cast, and 18 months of physical therapy to get up to the best situation I could with it...which was 90% use, and 100% normal grip strength...can't use the pinky in typing, or in anything that requires I move it seperately (like piano playing, violin, or classical guitar...can still play chorded guitar, though), since the only reason it CAN move is the docs attatched one of each the upper and lower tendons from the ring finger to the pinky. Basically, what I'm saying is ANYONE can fuck up with a gun, no matter how well they know them...all it takes is one moment of overconfidence, and lady luck being a bitch.
  17. depends on how bad a break you're talking on how much pain's involved, man...a greenstick fracture hurts like a bitch...burns, almost. A serious break, where it's snapped through, but not disconnected doesn't feel much worse, until you try to move it, and the ends grate together, and then it combines a BAD burning/cold sensation with the feeling you get when someone scratches something metal across a chalk board (or when you bite aluminum foil if you've got fillings). A coupound fracture, where it snapped through, and the ends seperated, you don't really feel...but you IMAGINE a shitload of pain when you see it (those breaks where your arm suddenly has an estra elbow), and a compound complex doesn't hurt a bit, just feels numb and cold (where the bone pokes through the skin). At least that's been my experience so far, with 15 different incidents with broken bones involved... And a piece of side advice, learned the hard way from the worst incident...a half-pipe skateboard ramp is NOT a suitable place for riding a motorcycle...when the bike falls over on you, it makes things MUCH worse than they already were.
  18. yeah, but scars are no big...as long as you don't permenantly lose feeling or range of motion, the only problem is healing time...but sometimes physical therapy hurts like a sonofabitch When I fucked up my hand, the therapy ALWAYS hurt more than the actual injury had, which I thought was REALLY fucked up. Somehow, straining tendons always manages to hurt worse than anything else, for me (I'll take a broken bone over a bad sprain, any fucking day...at least they give you decent dope, and put the fucker in a padded cast when you bust a bone)
  19. You were studying medical fields, SX, even if it was radiology... Shock-trauma, man. Massive traumatic injuries (or deep penetrating ones) shock the serves, if the injury itself doesn't sever the ganglions to the surface nerves that are the ones so sensitive to pain stimulation...you don't feel the pain until either the shock wears off, or until the body "re-routes" to the surface nerves...I can't count the number of times I've done something stupid, and not felt the "right amount of pain", but I CAN tell you that once you HAVE recognized that this happens (it takes a few times of noticing that it didn't hurt so bad for such a major injury), you stop having ANY fear of "pain" as such...it's that lack of fear that lead directly to my busts...if I hadn't known that any injury I'd have recieved as a result of my actions would have been too major to hurt much, I probably would have backed off instead of jumping in faster and harder in the hopes of minimizing healing time...lol On the otherhand...had the other fucker had the same experiences I'd had, or similar, neither of them would have hesitated long enough to let me do the amount of damage that got me arrested, either...
  20. In answer to an earlier question...an EE with a degree from a good school can write his own ticket, if he keeps his grades up, but most electrical engineers end up spending their first 10 years doing work a tech couls easily do, and waiting to aquire seniority, at which point, they become what amounts to managers of a technical branch. Your general electrical engineer spends most of his time trying to find ways to design competing products around established patents, trademarks, and copyrights, and POSSIBLY doing prototype design for the same purposes. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll land a job where you're doing technician's work for highly sensitive and "run dependant" equipment...what I mean by this is...well, take high end medical equipment...they hire engineers to do the troubleshooting and repair, for several; reasons...first, the equipment HAS to run reliably when repaired, or someone dies, and the company can get sued for millions. Second, the equipment is VERY complicated, and you don't want to tell your customer (who is also in danger of multi-million dollar lawsuits if it crashes) that you have some high school or two year college dolt fixing his gear. Third: status and fees (you can't charge $1800 an hour shop time with an ITT E.T. graduate doing the repair work, any more than a Rolls Royce shop could get away with charging $500 an hour labor and then having a guy trained at Jim's Automotive Supply repairing the customer's Corniche) Computer Engineering IS only "specialized electrical engineering", but it is HIGHLY specialized, so if that's what you want to get into, it's a good idea to go after the specialized degree...and it won't pay as much, and the early years are twice as frustrating, since you come out of school ALREADY specialized, and with up-to-date education in the specialty field, but still do work a reasonably bright E.T. with a few weeks of on-the-job training could manage just fine...and the pay scale reflects that fact...plus the potential employer list is relatively thin. If you want to be on the cutting edge for Comp Engineering, then I suggest a minor in physics or chemistry, with an emphasis on mathematical chem or applied physics (so you're better prepared to deal with theoretical applications dealing with condensation, heat dispersal, potential cheap cooling methods, and so on), or maybe a minor in general engineering would be a benefit, since it is a "shop based course", that deals with machine cooling and function in part (especially these days). If all you want to do is work on advanced chipsets and such for an established company, hardware tech certs and a general degree will get you in the door, and ability takes you from there. Sraylight...don't feel like shit, bro, lack of education is correctable (and it sounded to me like you're doing it). The high education level of the older g'0ts is natural...why the hell do you think we're so pissed off at the world that our major diversion is pissing people off? There's only two reasons to go around pissing motherfuckers off and taking pleasure in it...the first is to be a run of the mill bully...to deal with some internal insecurty. This might describe some of the older 'g0ts, maybe even most...that insecurity MIGHT be what drives us to get such educations (so we have recognition of how much MORE superior we are, etcetera etcetera). The second reason is the one I recognize in myself...I'm a bright guy...I'm not teh SMARTEST fucker in the world, but I'm demonstrably smarter than 90%+ of the people I meet on a day to day basis, and always have been...always been AT LEAST in the top 10% in standardized tests, always been in the top 10% of my field by any applied standard you care to choose, regardless of the field I put myself into, and so on, and always without any "real" effort to get there...so it pisses me off that, invariably, I end up under some jackass who's "average" in the field, but got there long enough before me that TIME ALONE makes him my nominal superior...where he gets credit (at least some) for my success...when I was in school, I had teachers who KNEW I ran rings around them on the intelligence track in a position to tell me what to do and how to do it, who could, and would punish me for ignoring the "bunk" in class, and would grade me down for doing the REAL stuff my way, even if I proved my way worked fine...like math teachers who'd mark a whole problem wrong because you skipped showing a couple lines of calculations you did automatically in your head...even though you showed every bit of work you had to think about, and INVARIABLY came up with the right answer...and showed your check the same way. In the Army, it was idiots who were BARELY passable soldiers who were your superiors because they'd been in 5 years more than you...by the time I got out, I'd made E-5 in 2 years, then SAT as a buck sargeant for two more years because seniority said I couldn't get promoted again, while my staff sargeant was a guy who'd been in 14 years, had made E-6 the same time I made E-5 (took him 12 years to make it, took him 6 to make E-5), and had to rely on MY advice to plan a simple flanking ambush for field exercizes...this fucker was also constantly in danger of being kicked out on a "fat boy" discharge, could barely pass the PT standards for his age, and BARELY qualified as "marksman" on the required weapons, while *I* was constantly running within 15 points of maxing the PT test scores for my age (300 point scale), could sail through all the physical tests, and the LOWEST I qualified with a weapon was "sharpshooter" with grenades (I can't throw accurately worth a shit...can't bowl, either), and qualified high expert in all standard firearms (and competed as part of both the base pistol and rilfe teams)...so on, and so forth...everywhere you go, when you're smart, know you're smart, and have had everyone around you ADMIT that you're better than most at thinking, knowing, planning, or whatever, they put someone who's ADMITTEDLY not as good, but has been "trying" longer in a position of authority...and THEN they get mad when you try to USE the advantages THEY themselves tell you you've got...unless you use them THEIR way, and on demand...which is crippling the advnatage, wouldn't you say? OF FUCKING COURSE you get pissed about this...and end up with two choices...either you start laughing at the funny shaved monkies who put themselves in such stupid positions when you tried to warn them, or you go nuts. Assuming you learn to laugh, it doesn't take long to start HELPING the monkies get themselves into these situations for your amusement...this is exactly the mindset that gives you comedians like Dennis Miller and Dennis Leary...the difference in the two being that Miller still tries to get along with people, and therefore falls flat on his face on a regular basis, while STILL being briliantly funny when he's willing to admit being pissed off, so he'll be obnoxious, and Leary just gets in everyones' face, and says "fuck you if this offends you, it only offends you because you KNOW I'm right, and if this applies to you, you're a fucking dumbass". So yeah...if you maintain this "need" to get in people's face, and put them in a position where they demonstrate what dumbasses they natural to find that those who enjoy this with you are ALSO brighter than average, and probably more educated, even if it's informal education. As for your personal goals...dude, one of the things we've been hammering on is that there are TOO FUCKING FEW skilled tradesmen left in this country...and mechanics is one of the few trades we will always need local supplies of, so you won't be outsourced...if it's what you like doing, fucking do it, and good luck to you, man! There's no reason a good mechanic can't educate himself, or go to night school, or whatever, and get an education that matches or surpasses most PhD's...nor does he have to stop being a mechanic when he does so (though he's likely to end up an automotive engineer, against his best intentions...lol)...one of the smartest fuckers I know is a Harley mechanic (and custom bike builder and racer)...been MENSA since he was 14 (and is now 50 something), and doesn't have a single sheepskin...high school dropout, in fact...but he can talk aerospace, astronomy, celestial ballistics, celestial physics, and plasma physics as equals with specialists WORKING in the fields, as well as talking mechanics as equals with professors in the Automotive Engineering school at the local college...education isn't what the sheepskin says it's what you retain of what you've read/heard/seen, and how good you are at applying these bits of information to new situations.

    I totally disagree about supporting the weak and fragile...if you have a PERSONAL connection to someone who cannot support themselves, feel free to waste YOUR effort supporting them, but why should *I* be FORCED to support someone who cannot support themselves? Especially when it simply enables them to pass along whatever weakness it is that prevents them from being able to do so to the next generation? I mean, honestly, even most crippling accidents are partially the fault of the victim, which means supporting him/her, and allowing them to breed just conserves the gene or passes on the learned behaviour that allowed for his/her injury, and as for those too stupid/lazy/sick to take care of themselves WITHOUT a debilitating injury...why in God's name would we deliberately conserve that weakness/illness/stupidity? I don't understand why one would rather fry a healthy, relatively intelligent, and self-supporting jew or nigger, who is likely to pass the ability to support itself on to any offspring, but is willing to have his efforts used to support someone of his own race who can't support ITSELF, and will pass that inability on, back into the race...makes no sense to me. The ubermench need not be aryan, but CAN'T be a cripple/retard.
  22. Yup, that it is, SX...REALLY good money, once you've got a client base...I know of a chick I went to HS with that everyone figured was the one who'd go to college to catch a husband, if at all...you know the type...too ditzy to even make a decent cheerleader, but hell of a looker, type? ANyhow, she managed to turn this ditzy scatterbrained impression (she wasn't REALLY as ditzy as she came across..noone COULD be, and be able to walk two steps in high heels) she left with people, and the looks into one HELL of a going client base in real estate...made the millionaire's club (a group for real estate agents in residential real estate who've made more than 1 million in commissions, total) before she was 27. Pissed me off, because at our 10 year reunion, she admitted to having wanted to date me in HS, but by then, she was married to this skinny little geekoid CPA (and STILL fine as fuck).

    True...capitalism IS all about inequality...but I personally favor the idea of letting those who can't or won't support themselves starve, or find someone who voluntarily supports them. Beggars? I feel nothing but disgust for them, as there is NO reason anyone in this country NEEDS to panhandle, when our YMCA is still active, and rents you a cot in a shared room for $2, or a private room with shared facilities for $4 a night, and you can earn an absolute MINIMUM of $35 a day working for companies like Labor Ready...plus, using a YMCA or Salvation Army shelter as an address of record (which they allow), you can collect food stamps and welfare, recieve medical benefits, and so on...moreso if you're legitimately disabled so that you CAN'T work through one of the daily work daily pay places. As far as I'm concerned, if you can't manage to earn enough to pay half the rent in a 2 bedroom apartment, pay for transportation of SOME sort (bicycle, public transport, or an old junker of a used car) and feed yourself, you're one sorry saco of shit, as I managed to go to school, and STILL bring home enough to allow me to have moved in with a friend, paid my car insurance, AND fed myself when I was in frigging HIGH SCHOOL, had I so wished...and that was working at a pizza joint. Working in a non-union company, I managed to pay rent in a 1 bedroom apartment, eat quite well, pay a car payment AND full coverage insurance, and pay tuition at DeVry, while still having enough free cash to have enough money to buy plenty of little extras AND go out regularly on dates or to get drunk at some nightclub or another...plus putting max matched funds into a 401K, and paying my part of health and dental...and this was with me starting as a laborer, and finsihing with me being paid the equivalent of non-union new journeyman wages...meaning I was making about $400-$900 a week during this period, pre-tax. I just don't buy the "I can't make enough to survive" lines from anyone...I know guys who mowed lawns for a living who managed to support a wife and kids without the wife working (granted, it wasn't a lifestyle *I* would settle for, but they got their bills paid well enough to keep utilities, phone, cable, and all on, without getting evicted), and I myself have spent a couple hard winters, in the days I was working construction, waiting tables to make my money, where I paid my bills off of $2.38 an hour and the tips I made, and never worked more than 32 hours (so I wouldn't qualify for benefits)...the problem is people seem to think that if they can't afford a NEW car, and all it entails, and all the other trimmings, then they "can't survive on what I can earn"...which is bullshit.

    Uhh...Tigger...socialism is JUST to the right of communism...the extremes are communism and fascism... the difference seems to be that you're attempting to place an economic politic in comparison with a philosophical politic... communism, socialism, and capitalism are, in your mixed uses, economic policies, where, respectively, communism denies personal ownership, and says that all people *should* recieve an equal share of the total community product (not that this ever really happens...men aren't bees, and even bees and ants don't manage this ideal) socialism says that the society owes its members their basic needs, but that the individual should be allowed to benefit from working harder than his neighbor. This doesn't work because MOST people will work no harder than is needed to fulfil what they see as their needs...so the majority don't even work hard enough to pay back what the society provides free, leaving the society more and more dependant on the smaller percentage who are honestly interested in EARNING a better standard for themselves, rather than having it GIVEN to them capitalism says society owes the individal nothing, except the CHANCE to earn as much as he can...if he's not willing to work for it, he's welcome to starve. Those are the economic standards. communism, as a political philosophy, however, says "all are equal, and nothing should be permitted to make a "difference" among men"...which is why they set political standards that deny one the right to practice any religion (or anything but the state sanctioned religion), and they try to forcibly ignore or eradicate anything that makes a visible and undeniable difference between men. socialism isn't a political philosophy, in the least, it's purely economic...but socialist economic forms which are adopted by political coimmunisms, monarchies, constitutional monarchies, democracies, and republics don't work properly for mathematical reasons...eventually, it breaks down (like Canadian and UK medical systems and US socialk security and medicare are demonstrating currently) fascism, which is a political philosophy, is based on the idea of extremist nationalism...basically, those who make up THIS country are THE BEST...the apex of civilization, all others are barbarians, outsiders have no REAL rights, etcetera etcetera. Yes, Nazi Germany was a socialist fascism. Yes current PDRC (People's Democratic Republic of China) is a socialist communism, yes, WWII Japan was a feudal fascist monarchy, and WWII Italy was under a communist fascism, while the US is (and was) under an ever-more socialist capitalist republic, Canada is a socialist republic, the UK is a socialist constitutional monarchy.... It's political philosophy (philosophy of the rights of man) that determines whether one is right or left wing....Nazi Germany was extreme right wing, current Germany is extreme left wing, yet the economic philosophy hasn't really changed all that much between the two swings.
