Then wtf is mars a candy ? <| sep |> Ahh , the old I ' m an idiot so I discourage other people from having ideas response ! <| sep |> Agreed , I suppose Mom could have put it in a more encouraging manner like It ' s a shame this time but let ' s set a target to get you that NDS 3 DSPSV in the near future but I don ' t see anything catastrophic with the way she dealt with it unless there ' s one hell of a lashing waiting for her kid at home when they get back . <| sep |> wow , they are literally retarded <| sep |> First world problems , mate . <| sep |> Nobody else is doing it , so let me tryLet us first set out a major fact a common complaint is money in politics . That is , businessmen buy out elections through donations , media coverage , endorsements , lobbyists , etc . But we forget one thing when we point this out businessmen do not require the spending of money to control politicians . Even if we remove money from politics , politicians must bow to the will of businessmen . In a decision between aiding the voters or aiding the businesses , they will nearly always pick business . Why ? Because , in our economic system , the class of business owners form the jobwork distributors and anyone who distributes jobs decides who gets those jobs . If the owners are not pandered to , they can leave and the market itself supports this maneuver . It ' s called capital flight . No politician wants to be known as the one who destroyed the economy , they ' d never be reelected , so they will never be representative of the voters . Voting , then , is merely a choice of which faction of the business class you would like to oppress you . Functionally , it changes nothing . Either way you get what the business classes are okay with you having and little else . Your time is better spent focusing on direct action activities than what is essentially a religious ritual of choosing representatives of your gods .
