What, no finished results of the hair cut?

Ha. I love this, people follow Misean view of economics without realizing that at it's cores it is against all statism and democracy as a whole. How would you like to be ruled over corporations and business interests?

You make an assumption here that is false. Businesses get the ruling over us when they are able to enforce the rule of law over us. When we are free to choose what we want when we want it, the consumer is in power.

On the other end of the spectrum, the labor side (means of production). There will always be a fight between the business owners and the workers. When there are many workers, the companies will be able to force lower wages, and vice versa, that is just the way it goes. I think one of the modern success stories of free markets and interesting self regulatory bodies that emerge are the labor unions. They were able to strike out their claims more effectively and nimbly than any government regulation.

When the power is in the hands of the people, they have to recognize that their dollar is indeed power, and where they choose to invest it directly affects the world around them. It is a world where much more thought and responsibility has to be taken into account.

I realized that capitalism possess no soul and could not work unless we were all robots and did not care about the welfare of others.

Business is all about providing solutions for people directly. You aim is for consumer satisfaction. Who are these "others" to which your refer? If a company charges a fair market price for its product, it can pay its workers well, and his family can prosper as well, the consumer also gets his product at a reasonable price. It is the happy medium. It is when the government interferes with this that the unfairness is introduced. When we are forced to pay twice what a hair cut is worth because we need to make sure the barber is placed in a position in society that we wish to make the new minimum, you undermine the consumers right to evaluate what things are worth, and thus undermine the entire price structure. Things will begin to break down and inflation will result, lowering the buying power of everyone and thus returning this man to the same status of which you wished to lower him out of, and over-complicating things by placing a moral agenda on economics that all don't hold to.

The key to good governance and national economy is the mixture of both
This is dialectic reasoning to think you can mix to things that are fundamentally opposed to each other. Trying to merge two opposites is not wisdom. This is the idea of having your cake and eating it too. You can not have the powers of the market work if they are stifled in other areas. There ends up with a bubble of something eventually, and the market will always find that and exploit it until it bursts. The resent housing bubble is the greatest explained of poor government regulation. the The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 caused the housing bubble by not alowing banks to use their normal risk evaluation models when considering blacks and other minorities for loans. The result was the sub prime mess of today; enterprising capitalist's found a way to exploit poor government controls for economic redistribution of wealth and manged to make the poor, more poor, and the rich more rich...which is usually now much government "level the playing field" laws go.

I was assured a full....
You were assured something, but where they something you even wanted? Where they something you asked for? The main problem with this whole idea is the massive waste that goes on, communism is extremely ineffective. It provides things to those that provide nothing. It provides things to those who do not want those things. It essentially is the most unfair system one could make when trying to make something effective and efficient. This is why Soviets could launch objects into space, but could not provide soap or women's pantyhose to its people, there is no real model for determining the value of things OTHER than peoples demand for them. There is no government system you could make until after you have a pricing model for them, it hasn't been shown to be possible without massive inflation or more widespread enforcement of market strategies.

Central planning nearly always results in tyranny of the most extreme kind. Once the power is centralized, the ability to abuse that power becomes irrefutable as far as history is concerned. The idea of the philosopher king (or planners)lacks the merit or the understanding of human nature. People are greedy. To place the power of all our lives in the hands of the few only begs for the worst kinds of tragedy that the world have known. More over, the few that we ask to do it are no wiser on those things than ourselves. Do you think that the hundreds of people on capital hill know what the best course of action is on green energy? Do their one or 2 advisers? No they don't. The only thing they can do, is force it. Even if it isn't the most wise course of action.

Oh shit, you're supposed to pay for hair cuts? Don't I feel like an ass now.

Irishman you fool i canot belive you dont get it i mean WTF

this is obvously a commentry on 80s womens hair cuts.

I leap over lies in a single pound
[who are you?]
The black prophet
One day I got struck by knowledge of self
They gave me super scientifical powers
Now I, run through the ghetto
Battling my arch nemesis Mr. Ignorance
He's been trying to take me out since the days of my youth
He feared this day would come
I'm hot on his trail
But sometimes he slips away because he has an army
They always give me trouble
mainly Hatred, Jealousy and Envy they attack me
They think they got me
But I use my super science and I twist all three
I see sparks over that building
They're shooting at me
I dip, do a back flip
Then hit em in the heart with sharp skilled book marks
Ignorance hates when I drop it
But no matta what he do
He can't stop the prophet.

[Yo prophet, yo prophet, come here real quick
Yo I just saw Ignorance down town
Let me put you on. Word, he down there buggin
He got them illing out, the shooting and everything..]

Let's continue the saga, mad, mad drama
I met this chick, she said she knew where Ignorance was at
I said where, she said downtown
He had babies having babies
And young niggas selling crack
I think the bitch is lying it's a set up
I can smell it, but Ignorance is runnig rampid
Aight baby show me the exact spot
Meet me at quick and skimo on the 3 on the dot
So I hops up on the A train, I'm being followed
My seventh sense senses danger
I turn around, it's Anger and he brought a mobb along
It's the same old song
Despair and Animosity got broke with the swiftness
I don't know what they think this is
I feel a sharp pain in my neck
Now I can't see on my hand
They hit me with the dart filled with the pork chops sim
I tried to hold on but before long I dropped
When I awoke I was locked in the barber's shop
Trapped in the barber's chair
Oh no, they're going to try and cut my hair
But that can't stop the prophet

[Yo prophet,
Ignorance is tired of you following him around
We about to put end in out right now.
Anamosity, Despair
Get him]

[Can't a damn thing stop me]

A few minutes passed by I hear a buzzin noise
It was that chick with some of Ignorances' boys
She said prophet we got you beat
By the way I'm Ignorance's wife, Deceit
But enough talk now for your hair cut
When the clippers touched my hair, they blew the fuck up
After the explosion there was no one left
Cause I know them mobb poison hair touch of death
My vision's still kinda blurry, but I see a clue
Ignorance is at the library
I hurry, with lightning speed like the flash
He's at the big one, on Grand, Army Plaz
When I get inside the doors shut and the lights go off
Damn another trap
I hear a hissing sound I smell a funny smell
I gasp, I can't breath
Ignorance is laughing at me
Waiting on my down fall,
But he can't stop the prophet

maybe she wouldn't be so evil if she didn't have the name Alma, or a had a hair cut.

Damn, and I just had my hair cut earlier today.

he's just a typical Liberal liar with a big house and a $400 haircut, at least my girl Hillary doesn't fit that mold, she gets her hair cut at BoRics

Thanks for posting this. It’s an old one, which I seem to have missed. It’s almost like Stephen Colbert interviewing Stephen Colbert. And if not for anything else, between the glasses and the hair cuts it is quite interesting to notice that Olbermann isn’t as tall as Colbert, but has a much bigger head.

>> ^rottenseed:
ahem I'd say he's Indian...but that probably has nothing to do with anything because "guy with emo haircut who lives with his dad and has a relationship with a girl made out recycled tires" does the trick. I don't know why race had to be brought into this...
...racist.


Believe it or not I paused and thought about whether or not I should include "black" in the joke. I decided that the juxtaposition of "black" & "emo hair cut" made the hair even funnier. No implications of black=bad or black=funny were intended.

I think the one on 'bogans' probably needed a little more. It's more the people wearing tight jeans, wifebeater singlets and sporting a mullet top hair cut. They tend to be from the lower socio-economic backgrounds, but not limited to

I also like:
"Copping it sweet" = Taking something (eg. bad news/punch/etc.) well or strongly
"Dunny" = Toilet
"Have a whinge" = To complain

Christ, man. Get your hairs cut.

Takes ya back, huh? More my parents' generation, but to think, 30 years from now my kids will be making fun of my generations stupid asymmetrical hair cuts.

And bless it, I'll be right there with them.

Kinda reminds me of the place where I get my hair cut.
