You think that if an elected government passes laws to control its people under the guise of protecting themselves from themselves that it is undemocratic, totalitarian and Fascist? I don't think you know what any of those words mean.

If you don't actually make an argument you may as well not be here. I'm not going to watch a series of videos just because you link them. Make an argument. You can use the videos as evidence to support your argument. However, just throwing out links is not useful. 

If you can't articulate why you think are correct, then why are you on a debating website?

You can choose to educate yourself or not. Doesn't affect me at all.

That doesn't work any more. 50 years ago when alot of the companies you were dealing with were smaller that worked. Companies feared public backlash if they did something shitty. That simply isn't the case any more.

This is a debate site. If you don't intend to debate then you have no reason to be here. Make an argument, support it with evidence. That is the whole point. Just spamming links is childish.

Or you could choose to not educate yourself. That works too. You've already demonstrated your amazing ability to voice your valuable opinion without watching any of the videos I link, or commenting on anything about them.

Diversity of ideas is our strength, right?

Oh dear, I meant diversity of phenotypes. <mock salute to the DNA overlords>

This is a website about debating. You are choosing to not debate. You are just spamming links to videos with no explanation of what they are about or why they are relevant. And in many cases they don't appear to be relevant at all. That is not how debate works.

Agreed, so tell me what your ideas are. Don't just throw out dozens of links and expect me to try to figure out what your point is.

As former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher famously put it, “the trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

hey how did the Sanders campaign make out raising their wages to $15/ hour, you know because they were under threat by their union.....guess it got a really good taste of what socialism really is like lol
