Awww..... Did you maim your friend and forcefed him said muffins afterwards?
After I told them, I just stared unblinkingly at them until they finished them.
Like a boss.
The sinking feeling when you're doing a culminating project on Corsica, and need to bring in some corsican food, and need chestnut flour, and WHERE THE feth do you find chestnut flour?
...When you think that you're a real person when... NOPE! you were stuffed by Chuck Testa! The most realistic dead cats with scouter eyes out there!
...When you realize that the world's governments will soon be replaced by massive corporations.
...When your cat starts to think that you speak cat language because you meow back to him when he meows, and now he has cat conversations with you. Ich spreche Deutsch, not cat language. Sorry Merlin, my German has not improved much.

When you saddened them by forcing them to awkwardly finish your terrible, terrible muffins.
Can someone please explain these muffin jokes.

You know that sinking feeling when you put your ork footsloggers on the table and your opponent puts down mech guard.

Still roughly cat-sized though. I'd worry about him getting hurt.
My black lab/border collie mix, coming in at 70lbs, would eat yours

Food for thought...and for shadow.
He's not exactly gigantic but his bark sounds like a German shepherd

....when you are going on a trip to a music academy with your orchestra tomorrow, and YOU HAVE A FETHING CUT IN YOUR LOWER LIP!!! We'll be staying there for four days, but I wont be able to play my saxophone in the first two days because of my lip. AAARGH!
YKTSF when your Doomscythe dies.... again :( as much as i want one, I just cannot justify buying what is essentially a flying rhino with a highly situational gun that costs about 5x as much bit is neary as easy to kill.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the (awesome) quote is "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others".
Capitalism has faults for sure, but at least it hasn't resulted in the collapse of any nations.
The reason communism has failed in the past is because it wasn't done because of any ideals, it was done because the rules wanted absolute power *cough*Stalin*cough*
And china is communist, and they are owed 1 trillions dollars by the US. For those of you who don't know what a trillion looks like; 1,000,000,000,000$.
Either way, I personally believe a socialist setting leaning a bit more towards the capitalist side without going too far is ideal. The canadian welfare system, government involvement in the economy, universal health care etc. combined with some good old fashioned common sense, which seems to be lacking these days.
Also, it could never work in practicality due to greedy a-holes, but utilitarianism is probably the best, as long as everyone involved co-operates to the fullest extent.
1) precisely, communism in its rawest form is impossible because very few people are content with being utterly equal with everyone else. Everyone wants power, and in a true communism, that cannot happen.
2) that is a very flawed example. China is more of a capitalist/communist fusion these days. In the past, under Mau (sp?) China suffered greatly. Poverty, famine, that sort of thing was common. However, years later (not sure when) China relaxed its strict policies and allowed people to own their own businesses. Things got instantly better for China, and tgey have bevome what they are today.
3) I would tend to agree
