Miss Valeska

I'm fairly annoyed with the responses, So far, I got responses from a Troll, Namely being Stephen. And Rose, That is a cross dresser, It is in no way related to transgender. Being someone who just has the wrong genitals, And a Cross Dresser being a man for example, Who likes to wear bras and dresses sometimes.

Hmm, Why did they have to supply their satalites with everything? Did England do this with theirs?

Okay, Thank you so much for posting as much as you have, Now I have two more questions. One, Why weren't they so patriotic and indoctrinated that they believed in it regardless of the economic situation as it is in the U.S? And why did Perestrikia and Glanost fail, And backfire?

Hmm, Why didn't they care? They had been indoctrinated, and propagandised for decades! It was an entire Communist Union, In an entire communist world with everything else blocked out for so long. I don't understand why they stopped caring, Especially if it was prosperious prior. I still don't understand why the satalites started to pull away, Can you elaborate on that some more? Is there any possible way the Soviet Union could have survived till now? Is there any possible way it could have recovered like it did early on? I would think they would just have an endless cycle of, Socialism, Temporary prosperity, Depressions, Economic Liberalisation, Recovery, And so on. Unless, Of course, People figured out it was just an endless cycle, And the lie about "pure communism" was never going to happen.

This is bizzare though, After World War 1, The Soviet Economy was also in shambles, And all they did was a brief peroid of a few years of a sort of "state capitalism" so it was called. A brief period of freer economic policies which revived the economy, Why didn't they just make a habit of insituting these policies every couple decades to revive the economy? Why did they do the peteroskia and glasnost stuff? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Economic_Policy Also, I don't understand why any Government would chose to dissolve itself, It just doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't it be better for the rulers to hold on until the peasents are literally breaking down their doors?

Yeah, I mean, I know that, But, What specifically columinated to cause the collapse?

I know Socialism doesn't work, But, That answer doesn't sadisfy me. I heard it was mostly caused by Peteroskia, But, That doesn't make sense to me. I heard it caused greater nationalism in the componet Republics, But, That doesn't make sense to me. The Soviet Union becomes freer, So, You become nationalistic to your little Republic? Wouldn't that make you like the Soviet Union more? I've heard it was related to Afganistan, But, I don't know how valid that is, And why they wouldn't just pull out of the war. Please help

*nods* okay, Hmm

*nods* Okay, Thank you! Hmm, I have 500 or so dollar build on newegg for him, But like I said, That'd be too much to spend all at once. 200 or so dollars would be much more doable, He could buy it in parts over a couple months. My only issue is, I want him to be able to upgrade it slowly over time as well. I want as little limitations as possible, Which is why I am concerned about the mother board. Can you tell me a bit about it's upgrading capabilities? Because now, Thinking about all of that, Buying something really cheap in parts over time, And slowly upgrading it sounds like the way to go.

I was talking to my friend, Who has a Power Mac G5, He really needs a better computer. So, We were talking about getting him a new one, Building a decent one for like, 500, 600 dollars. I found some parts and everything, And it all looks nice. Though, He isn't really able to drop 500 dollars on his computer right now. So, I was thinking, Maybe, We could take out his mother board, And put in another one. Then, We could put in newer and better RAM, And a better CPU, And Graphics card. Now, I am wondering, Is there any special shape of the Power Mac G5 mother board? Is the case compatible with something like a Gigabyte GA-970A-D3, Like I have? If it is, Then we could just slowly upgrade his parts. We could get him a better mother board, Then better RAM, A Better CPU, graphics card, Hard drive, Etc. And eventually, Just buy a whole new case and put what ever parts we wanna keep in there, Maybe buy better ones. If this is at all possible, I want to try it, This would be amazing. I am dying to play games like Minecraft with him, Even minecraft won't run because he is stuck with an old version of java. And Linux keeps failing when we try to install it, The screen is just blank, And it's too hard to explain what to do over the phone, Especially when I don't even know how to install from the Command Line. And the computer keeps crashing in mac OSX when ever we try to partition the drive. So, This would be greatly appreciated help, Thank you for reading. p, li { white-space: pre-wrap;

I wouldn't normalise violence at all, And the diactomy probably means something. I do not like it at all, Even in low graphics games like Wurm Online. Though, To be perfectly clear, It is NOT immoral, It may be unasethtical, And unhealthy, But it is FAR from immoral. *hugs you tightly*

I heard it was changed because it looks better on techno-colour.

Neither was the "good one", Lenin established a bloody revolution where thousands died. He had the Czars murdered in their home, Their children murdered. Russia was already slowly becoming more democratic, They were out growing Monarchy, And would have left that soon enough. Lenin was sent in by the Germans to destablise Russia so Germany didn't have to fight a two front war because of the enterence of America in World War 1.Without forigen interference, European wars fight themselves to a cease fire. Each side is equally matched, And the money it takes to invade is equal to what it takes to defend. (In the past, Now you can take down a couple million dollar plane with a few thousand dollar RPG) If America wasn't involved in World War One, Not only would World War Two have never happened, But World War One would have been significantly less bloody.Far fewer would have died, And the war would have ended sooner. Germany was set for World War 2, Especially because of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was forced to pick up the bill for every country invovled, Which Germany was incapable of doing. So they printed money to the point of hyper inflation, Destroying their economy. It took millions of dollars to buy a loaf of bread, They didn't have wheel barrels big enough to bring the money in.A man spent his entire life's savings on a cup of coffee, Not only that, But this was The Wiemar Republic. It was total subjectivist land, And the Germans had horrible childhoods during that time as well. Most Germans felt they could have won World War One, They had a lot of troops forced to retreat. So a formerly unknown Political Part rose to popularity. The National Socialist German Workers' Party (A.K.A, The Nazi Party),The party with few to no seats in paralment slowly gained more seats. Adolf was a Socialist, Never forget that, National Socialist Germany was a Socialist State. He scape goated the economy, And loss in World War One on the Jews. I don't know if he really cared about Jews or not, but no one has ever really liked them in Germany, Or Europe for that matter. So they were an easy target, And through this he was able to rise to power. Remember, Adolf Hitler was democratically elected.He did NOT save the German Economy, He just set up fake corporations to accept bonds that he made as a shot of heroin to the economy. They were all promised to be paid for after the War, Which of course, Didn't happen. They do these kinds of bullshit things all the time now, It isn't realy growth, It isn't sustainable. It is just a shot of heorin, Morphine for a tooth ache. The problem is never solved, Or even talked about.And don't forget, Nazi Germany invaded Poland at the same time as the Soviet Union did. They split Poland in half, Right down the middle. Don't forget the Katyn Forest Massacre either, The slaughter of thousands of Polish officers by the Soviets. And don't forget the Russian Gulags either. Don't forget that the Soviet Union went to war with Afghanistan, And don't forget it collapsed under it's own weight. This bullshit just doesn't work. Violence achieves the opposite of it's goals.If you kidnap a women to marry her, She won't love you, If you steal a Tv for a present to a women, She will call the cops. If you hit your child to make him listen, He will ignore you long term, Only complience comes in the short term. ANd he will hate you when he gets older, And he is strong and you are weak. When you steal from a population through taxes, You can't expect everything to reverse. When you use violence to restrict people peacefully trading, You can't expect things to be differentViolence is the problem, Statism is the virus that infects society, It is always the vampire, The parasite sucking society dry. Some places are just more doomed than others, And quicker. Nazi Germany was horrible, And quick, The Soviet Union was probably worse, And dragged out. America was better than most in the beginning, And now it is horrible, ANd getting worse every day. On it's road to collapse.Think about it, America was the smallest Government to EVER exist in the history of man, And now it is the very LARGEST to ever exist. All the checks and ballences by all the genius founding fathers, And what did it get us? A Police State, You can NEVER restrain the state, We have tried Political Action for hundreds of years, It NEVER WORKS. No piece of paper called a "consitiution" will stop bullets from statists. You can never have checks and ballences with the state. Every single Government since the dawn of Government six thousand years ago has collasped, EVERY SINGlE ONE! They have all oppressed their citizens, All stolen from them through taxes, All slaughtered them, Sent them off to war. Propagandised them, Messed with their minds. They ALL HAVE, Freedom with Government is a joke. It's like calling rape love making, If it is love making, You don't need violence or the threat of it. We need not more violence, We need a philosopical revolution.

The Wizard of Oz is a metaphor for Religion, Oz creates a religion around his supernatural, Supreme being form. People worship him, And come to him for favours, And wishes. When, In reality, He is merely a man behind a curtin controlling smoke and mirrors.

I am so tired of you Stephen, You are a troll, Go away.

I was wondering, How many people here are transgendered?

*hugs* Yeah :/

I am not certain of the statistics, But, They aren't solved, The Police are not, However, Useless. They have two uses, One, Controlling the masses, Two, making everything look nice.

Yes, That makes sense. *hugs*

Yeah, It was pretty offensive, And, I do get that A LOT! This guy is hitting on me right now, And no matter what I say, He won't stop. I can see why people would want to hide it, But, I don't really want to hide it. Gender is part of my identity.

*hugs* Yeah

No no no, It is not a moral principle, And, I did not say there were no innate behavioural tendencies between men and women. Just that gender roles are not valid, It may be true that women are, Inherently more empathetic. But that is not a gender role, All I am saying, Is, It isn't masculine, Nor feminine to be a Philosopher. I don't seek only female friends on here, I just also seek female friends, Because I feel more comfortable around other females. That is just a preference, It isn't related to gender roles, Or anything else. Like I said before, Gender is not gender roles, Gender Roles are Cultural statements about how males and females are to behave. It is not gender itself, And it does not say how males and females do, Innately behave. It is just an insane cultural statement about how they are supposed to behave. That's all I'm saying.

Gender is the gender identity based upon the physical differences in the brain.

There are physical differences between the brains of males and females, Gender does, Definately exist, Gender roles, Are entirely different. A girl, Is a girl no matter the culture, Or location. Girls like pink, Is not, However. Gender roles are just a cultural thing, Which is totally different. Now, I do consider myself very feminine, As my profile says, I consider myself a girly girl in black. That said, I don't believe in most gender roles.

Which is why I resent referring to them as "masculine".
