  • Dude I might be hiring a music manager here soon. He was really impressed with my music and I want to go over the paperwork to make sure everything's legit. If all is good this could be a HUGE opportunity for me.
    Not much man just chillin trying to ignore the crap going on but it's also given me inspiration for my music in a way. Starting to get myself out there more, especially after I get this mixtape released. Oh boy, some people are gonna be OUTRAGED and I can't wait. Hopefully it goes viral and get's the media involved but probably not haha. I also performed 2 shows in a week! Anything new with you?

    this is all you get for my mixtape until it's released (I might be nice and give you more haha) This is the opener to it. The rest is topics inside the Black Box.

    Not really, I just finished a pretty big cut so I don't have a real reason to diet. I definitely have a few extra pounds to shed, but as a strength athlete I'm more concerned about maintaining performance than shedding weight at this point.
    Of course! I love Iron Maiden! They're my second favorite band!

    Hm. I've listened to more songs by Metallica, but I honestly like Megadeth a bit more. Dave Mustaine is a pretty sweet vocalist, Vic Rattlehead is a pretty cool mascot, and I just love the band's sound.
    Thanks!

    My favorite album is Master Of Puppets, but I also really like Ride The Lightning and ...And Justice For All.

    The rich should pay more because they have more. Does that not bother you? That they're such a disproportionate number when it comes to overall society but they own so much wealth?

    You're stuck in a current system mindset. Where market demand dictates production. Do you know how much food Britain throws away a year due to it being overproduced?

    Capitalism doesn't work. It hasn't worked for a long time. My system would only work in a world where we decide starving kids and the long term sick are worth more than our paper and metal gods we use to dictate who deserves the good life and who deserves to watch their family die of easily preventable illnesses.


    Its a fairly big chunk yeah.
    I just get a 404 from that link

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Norway

    Wiki breaks it down for Norway fairly well. Corporate tax is 27% and is far more rigorously enforced than in the UK where it's 20% and a lot of it is avoided through various Tory schemes. The USA is variable between 15% and 35% and again, there's a lot of dodgy offshore shenanigans with the US too.

    We wouldn't need an economy without money. Money only has the value we have given it. We would produce food based on population calculations, we would build houses and allocate resources based on the same calculations. It's a bit of a lazy example, but Disney's tommorowland could be used to illustrate the society-driven system I'd like
    Nearly all of the Nordic countries have higher tax on the rich, stricter regulations than Britain and the States on corporations, most have an NHS that is properly funded and most have a far higher level of public ownership than we have now. The acceptance of capitalism in these countries is a necessary evil and one I could live with
    Corbyn is a Fabian socialist. He's noway near as strict with it as I'd be given the chance. But compared to the drab neos and the right wing goons of UKIP and the Tories Corbs really is our best hope at a better Britain.
    I'd like full automated communism in an ideal world where mankind works for mankind's interests as a whole, on bettering the lives of as many as possible. Money just wouldnt be involved in my ideal world.
    It's not so much what I believe in personally that matters, it's what I believe is achievable that I think matters. I'm a Marxist in a lot of respects but I just don't see Communism or full Socialism as likely right now.

    The Socialism that Jeremy Corbyn offers is what I believe we can achieve. It's really not very different to the Nordic system.
    Oooh AP, that thing I avoided throughout high school until I took AP stats and got a 5 ;)

    College has been fine. First semester was rough, but I got to pick my schedule for the second and I made it actually reasonable. I have had more issues with my vehicle than with classes, which is good I guess?
