Is turak one of those DUers with 1000+ posts? Also, if he / she / it is a donor, I doubt it.

Stan: You mean like a baker and a cop?

Season 9, Episode 2 Die Hippie, Die

Yeah that’s the flaw in a hugs and kisses economy. It only works if you’re really hot. Since the vast majority are not hot the plan is dead from the git go.

[hsalaw]

Sounds like the OWSies want to base our economy on the world’s oldest professions - begging and prostitution.

[Fantasywriter]

Can we arrange a cage match between Turak and Know-it-all-Nadine?

[Grunthor]

One of if not the best episode ever.

I'm getting banged in the bum by the feds, and I have to PAY them for the privilege. Is that the same thing as trading hugs and kisses for car repair?

I'm sure my mechanic would prefer cash, but I prefer paying him in hugs and kisses. Although that mustache would have to go. (A new starter is surprisingly expensive.)

And to think, this fuzznuts is wandering around, loose, and no doubt votes...

Personally, this guy needs to stand right behind whichever celebrity is getting interviewed, with a BIG sign. It will show the laser like focus and realistic expectations of the OWS bunch. This is the thinking that is being linked with the WH. The Fates are smiling on us.

Instead of a money economy: based upon corruption, opposition, selfishness and greed: create your own self-sufficient communities and economies based upon cooperation, trust and fun.

I think this guy needs to read up on the Pilgrims and the story of the first Thanksgiving, and those folks were comparably VERY hard working, moral people.

Maybe the the most hysterical Dummy thread I’ve ever read. Some of the Dummies got a little miffed with Turak, but some actually tried to debate him. The funniest responses were the ones where some of the Dummies tried to agree with Turak only to be called a variety of nasty names. If Turak isn’t a recent escapee from an insane asylum, he’s doing a pretty good imitation of one.

[Future Snake Eater]

lol

[Charles Henrickson]

And I gave you only a FRACTION of that thread! I made it through about a fourth of it, and I decided I had enough material just with that.

I still think turak might be a troll, just trying to have FUn with the OWSies.

[bcsco]

You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din, for being able to put something together around this. Words fail me.

[bcsco]

Based on this "Instead of a money economy: based upon corruption, opposition, selfishness and greed: create your own self-sufficient communities and economies based upon cooperation, trust and fun" and this "Let the 1% have all the money in the world: then do not deal with them and don't buy anything they try to sell you and don't use their money. Get rid of money", turak's apparently aware these would be small co-ops surrounded by the real world. Those who he calls the "1%". Uh, huh.

So, what if he need to go from his little hugs-and-kisses community to Boston, lets say, to visit his sick grandma. If no one in the transportation, automotive or oil industries is part of his little community, how does he expect to pay his way to go see grandma? Does he realize the Internet will no longer be available to him or his community because it's likely to be controlled by some of those 1% people? Need I go on?

turak would be better off giving a modicum of thought to something before blasting it on the Internet where all the world is privy to his insanity. And no, I don't think he's a Troll. Not with the anger he shows when anyone takes him on. He's the real deal; a real nutcase.

[Libloather]

I give the loan officer 1200 hugs and kisses, they'll be so pleased they'll let us stay in our house, right?

Don't knock it until you try it.

[PJ-Comix]

Here is the latest: Pied Piper Pitt remains a NO-SHOW for any of the OWS protests despite urging others to attend.

[Charles Henrickson]

I don't think he's a Troll. Not with the anger he shows when anyone takes him on. He's the real deal; a real nutcase.

You may be right. I read more of that long, long thread, and I don't think turak is faking it.

BTW, turak is a Canadian, and he may be certifiably insane. But I repeat myself. . . .

[PJ-Comix]

It’s weird. I actually once knew a guy whose last name was Turok. Ironically he was like the ultimate button-down corporate man. He actually got pissed off when I said his last name sounded like it belonged to an extraterrestrial.

[freedumb2003]

Go back 2 months, change “hugs and kisses” with “Gov. Palin” and you have a repeat of MANY FR threads... ;) (I hope some can LOL at the memories...)

[freedumb2003]

>>I think this guy needs to read up on the Pilgrims and the story of the first Thanksgiving, and those folks were comparably VERY hard working, moral people. <<

Think of how many would have lived had they based their settlements on hugs and kisses!!!

[Future Snake Eater]

I don’t know if you’re familiar with the story (Rush reads it every year), but they basically did base it on hugs and kisses. They implemented Communism from the outset, and they nearly starved to death. Then the land was divvied up, and what was developed by the individual or family, they kept. They had a major bounty that year, and had the first Thanksgiving to celebrate.

Communism/Socialism was an utter failure hundreds of years prior to its invention...
