You do know that the British beat you to prison idea Mr Trail? In fact the first night of European settlement here in Australia turned into a drunken orgy between male and female convicts.

Australia really was a gulag for English convicts, and that's all Australia was until they discovered gold. After that, many English people wanted to become convicts What's less known, is that America was also used by the British as a gulag. Until it became independent, that is. Check it out Of course, they also made fortunes selling slaves there, so the gulags shouldn't be a surprise |

Everything, think out of the box Kev
Now you've forced me to think and make something up Got it See, palo likes Australians, he's anti American, he's also Russian which means Gulags are normal for him .... so by my logic he wants An Aussie for a friend but wants to be raped by a Yank so he can hate them all and it all happens in a Gulag where that kind of thing is normal Happy now

How can one have prisons without politics?
How can one have a society without politics? How can one have ideas, philosophy, culture, religion, civil engineering, chat-show television without politics? How can one have dreams without politics? Politics is part of getting anything done. It's messy/ugly/complicated because people (collectively) can be so. Quote:
You've said you live in a fantasy world where there can be such absolutes as "baddies" (and presumably also "goodies"), but the reality (fantasy?) of life's gulag is not like that, it has a great many different shades of grey. Why ever dream in the limited palette of a 256-colour cartoon world when you can instead have HD greyscale? Quote:
Some people (possibly Australians?) have said the US has a long-standing death wish. Kill all the plants & animals in the "new" (old) world. Kill all the people (slaves). Is that perhaps a symptom of (its continuing) colonialism; its politics? |

Remember we're talking about humans, who think they are so superior to other forms of life, when we are the worst. We are the only form of life that destroys its environment when they move into a new area. It is human life that has led to more animal and plant extinctions than anything else in nature. When humans push into a new area we dominate and destroy everything else that we cannot control. I feel sorry for future generations who will live in a machine dominated world where all our human emotions will have been destroyed by lack of use.(I'm talking about way in the future). Technology will see great advancement, but humans will de-evolve into mindless brutes.

My neighborhood in Chicago has a population of about 45,000, and it has at least a dozen things that happen here every day, but these things are all crime related: purse snatchings, armed robberies, car theft, vandalism, drug dealing, domestic disputes which require police intervention, etc. |
