I suppose that's a smaller opening than the glottis...
Re: Living in a Farm... Reply #52 – 2015-09-26, 09:27:02 It's surprising how so many people I speak with enjoys the idea of a subsistence farming life but always something prevents them to make such step.That something it's called materialism and constant brain washing. One can still see a tiny light that appears in their eyes but rapidly extinguishes and so they return to their comatose daily life.An handful of braves still resists, there's hope.

Since when living directly from what you produce is to be considered parasitism? So many years of consumerism, political brainwash and citizen serfdom are preventing people from thinking anymore?Maybe you're confusing me with some hippy comunity living from the social security check while in harmony with universal vibrations and nice dope.

Re: Living in a Farm... Reply #73 – 2016-05-07, 17:19:50 He thinks that the 80% who consume 20% are parasites on the 20% who consume 80%. It's useless to say to such a guy that he's wrong.
Re: Living in a Farm... Reply #74 – 2016-05-08, 03:59:00 You both use very bizarre definitions of "resources"… Should the Russians, the Iranians and the Saudis be forced to drink their oil? Should the Chinese and Germans be forced to eat their coal? But, of course, what you mean is that the U.S. is more successful than most other countries…Why am I not surprised? Next, you'll say that there's too much tea and rice in China.
