Tears in Heaven" is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a window of the 53rd-floor New York apartment of his mother's friend, on March 20, 1991. Clapton, who arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident, was visibly distraught for months afterwards.
Is this the only thing you mormons are allowed to listen to?
Sorry Alch. I did acknowledge you, I just forgot to do it on the RMB. What rep do you want to be?
God dammit. This always has to happen to one of us, doesn't it?
He's not dead. He just can't talk.
I listen to Metal.....Heavy and Power. I also listen to Screamo.
Right doe
Meh, I'll take whatever.
So bad!

Remember, I'm Nancy Pelosi.
What if both the Keynesian, Chicagoan and Austrian School of thoughts are wrong?
I barely listen to scream. My Favorite Band is a Power/Heavy Metal band called Sabaton.
Then Rand is right.
...that's a funny joke.
I'm no Economist and Don't know much about School of thought
But what I'm Getting is that
Keynes: War Causes boost in Economy. Government spending and actions is what affects the economy and builds it
Hayek: Free Market works on it's own without the affect of the Government and that the economy would get better without government involvement.
Is this correct?
This is your required listening list, TTA.
1. "Song against sex" and "Two headed boy pt. 2" by Neutral Milk Hotel
2. "Heroin" and "Sunday morning" by The Velvet Underground
3. "Still ill" and "These things take time" by The Smiths
4. "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners
5. "Milk it" and "Serve the Servants" by Nirvana
....Ummm..Okay
I expect an essay.
I don't feel like it.
Sabaton, eh?
I've listened to a bit of them. I'd call them power metal, too.
I like Rammstein and Ruoska, personally. Alice in Chains is in there somewhere too.
Manowar is up there on my list as well.
Meh, Get on youtube.
Godisdead...
Godisdead
Godi's dead
So someone named Godi has a dead thing?
Godi's dead god is dead.
Rot! You're back!
Song against Sex.....Is the singer gay or something?
Oh Yeah! It's the guy I've never actually met!
No. Doesn't matter. Listen to it with your face.
Yeah...No.
Also that Rap song in the WFE...It's pretty damn good.
I am so sorry. I had no idea you people were so uncultured.

Yeah, I'm back! Sorry for my extended absence. I've been at a few JROTC functions (I got promoted, wooo!), hanging with my friends, and going up north to visit family and whatnot. I've also been very busy with World of Tanks. It eats up a lot of my time.
ROTC is cool. CAP is better. I was only in it for three years before I became the Cadet Captain, which I served as the commander for two years, and then I aged out.
Back into the Economic School Of thought.
I get what Hayek and Keynes were thinking and I think to some extent they were both right.
On Hayek's side For one the Markets Drive Themselves and war does destroy instead of build
HOWEVER
On the Opposite Keynes side it is true that Markets are greatly affected by the government and the government can in fact do certain things that help the economy rise. War as well offers short bursts of Economic High Rates of Employment and Production Sadly though in these cases all our materials are used for the war and we get rationed. That's where the Austrian theory comes in.....

I frickin love country music.
There's a pretty wide bench to choose from. Anyone from Michelle Bachmann to Thomas Massie would qualify.
Ahem, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jtZx9LNpAY
And George Jones, of course!
Is this more to your liking, sire?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myQmM8RTkLk
Wait, who am I choosing from?
Not at all. I'll just redirect you to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jtZx9LNpAY
You old man, aging out. I got promoted to Cadet Major a few weeks back, meaning I'm not the Battalion Executive Officer. I'm a glorified paper pusher, really. But hey, every unit needs paperwork done.
One of my best friends is in cap. He says it's what made him hate the government.
Government greatly affects the economy - in a bad way. Countless amounts of data have shown that high government spending contracts growth. The only way the government can help the economy is by investments in infrastructure and education, but I am not sure if these result in net economic gains to society as capital is expropriated to fund them.
Saying that war provides any sort of 'boost' to the economy is like saying if I go around breaking people's windows, thereby creating employment and work for window repair shops, I'm helping the economy. This is a fallacy because there is no net gain whatsoever. If it cures unemployment, then it does so in the same way that paying people to dig holes and fill them back up creates employment.
Keynesianism is based fundamentally on ignorance. Marxism is based on misanthropy. Austrian economics is based on human action.
Any Tea Partier, preferably a leader, in the House.
Welcome back Rotgeheim.
Anything could make you hate anything. My lack of food in my mouth right this second could make me hate the government.
Much obliged, Pevv.
Meh, Ted Cruz.
He's a Senator.
That's a good point.
I did the various command positions and spent quite a bit of time as a first lieutenant (Captain's right-hand man). Then got Captain (Commander of a unit of about sixty cadets) for two years. I even joined the Indiana Wing executive council (people in charge). Had I joined earlier, I was slated for Lieutenant Colonel two weeks after my discharge. I would have become one of the three in the state. And then I could have tried for Colonel, the cadet commander of the state.
Allen west?
No need to explain the chain of command, mate, I understand how the whole system works. I went from second lieutenant straight to captain, skipping over first lieutenant - in the Army, it's mostly just a staff position and I was in command positions. I just finished up with my last command position (company commander) and now I'll be the second-in-command of the battalion. It feels good to be a major, honestly.
For the n00bs who have no idea how the Chain works. I like CAP because it is not affiliated with the school, so you can do a lot more. We even have a mounted drill team that I commanded briefly. I had my own horse when I was captain. Her name was Snowball. My Major (adult battalion commander) gave her to me as a discharge present. I still have her.
That's actually pretty cool. All my instructors give me is a pat on the back or something.
Yep, sometimes I go out there and help them drill cadets with her. It's weird seeing the commanders, they were grunts when I was commanding.
He's not in Congress anymore, but we could assume that he's got back in.
Assumptions are good.
That shocking revelation when everyone except Lack is technically a Statist.
I'm not statist I'm a Tea Party Conservative
Still a Statist.
In political science, statism is the belief that the state should control either economic or social policy to some degree. Thus while Minarchists might oppose a forced government and prefer voluntarism so long as the government exists in your plan of governance you are a statist.
Oi. Eternal Leaders Liberosia and Snabagag are proud an-caps. Anarchist Movement is too. And philosophically, I am an anarchist.
Lib is An-Cap?
And leads a region's government somewhat? Of course.
And of course he chooses one of the worst types of Anarchism instead of one of the better types. At least he didn't go with Anarco-Queer, Anarci-Naturalism or Anarco-Feminism
Let me restate that after thinking it though.
At least he chose one of the better types of Anarchism.
No type of Anarchism is good in my opinion so there simply can't be a best form of Anarchism only a better form.
Anarcho-capitalism is, in my opinion, the only ideologically consistent form of anarchism. Taking left-wing anarchism to its logical conclusion would mean denial of and resistance to the laws of physics.
But there are some laws that cannot be broken. Civilised societies are based on laws, and they are best enforced voluntarily and non-coercively.
And I don't really understand anarcho-queerism (sorry, Hallo). It seems rather single-issue to me. Even femarchism makes more sense.
It is.
It blames the state for marriage inequality basically....I think.
Fair point.
I find it a preferable type but not the best.
Unlike Rot, I had gone through the ranks. From 2lt to maj I have been in command of platoons to staff sections. Now I am third in line of batalion commander as the operations and training officer.
Mounted drill team sounds amazing!. Better than my people feet drill team.

Ill be your Nixon if you be my Winters.
Also Pev. Thank you for linking that song. I'm hooked on it.
What is the best type? Left-"anarchism" posits that control should be destroyed, but indulges in the idea of telling other people how to live economically.
You think that one's good? The sequel is even better!
Agreed. Simply because it is longer and we get more of it.
I also looked into that channels Econpop videos. The ones where they look at the economics of movies and such. Great channel really. I subscribed.
Like I said above. There is no Best type of Anarchism. Just like there is no best type of Totalitarianism.
You know whats the best form of socialism is?
No socialism
You should also check out the channel 'The Kronies'. It's done by the same guys who do EconPop. Dryly humourous stuff.
Yep, that's a par
I'll check it out.
Anarchy, as a political concept, is a naive floating abstraction: a society without an organized government would be at the mercy of the first criminal who came along and who would precipitate it into the chaos of gang warfare.
Not always...
Name one example of where it has not happend
Caveman times...
You're right - tribalism was dangerous for entirely different reasons.
Couldn't you accuse the government of being said gang?
How awfully familiar.
It's pretty great. They get a special uniform. The Indiana Wing could afford for one battalion to get a mounted squad, so we had to compete for it. They got the
squad special uniforms, twelve horses, it was special. They get pretty sabers too. Not as pretty as mine, of course. CO always get prettier stuff. Amirite?
Like what?
Yes....
Where you don't live past 30 and are in belief that rocks are used to kill mamoths
No. The government does not compete with other governments. It's hold on the use of force is to ensure that a worse form of government doesn't take over.
Yes they compete with other governments. Thats the basis of most wars
You must have a different idea of competition than I do, because mine is a competition between men and not ideas.
The idea of a master race of men superior to others.
