Hi guys, haven't posted in a while, but..............
Have been using the soft-top since about March (hard top on for the winter before that). When I bought the car (Nov '11) I was told/shown that the top had recently been replaced, and hardly if at all, used. (just kept folded under the HT).
Waited till the weather warmed up to remove the HT and then it took two of us to stretch the ST & latch. Left for about a month before folding the first time, but even now, the ST is VERY hard to get latched (really just rthe last inch or so) & it's quite frustrating as it's not a "quick latch" jobbie. Enjoying the top-down motoring but latching the top again is a pain.
Any ideas, or does it just take more time..................? (Car lives in the garage normally though does get left out in the sun fairly often). I have loosened the latch adjusters to their limit, but can't get them to "catch" easily due to reach, and also they seem to misalign sideways quite easily (I s'pose 'cos the ST can/does move when being pulled down tightly).
Oh BTW, the ST is a vinyl HRW type and does seem very new.
Oh and one more thing..........
Rain water drips in from near the front of the moveable glass section, don't know if it's the hood seal against the door glass, or other leak eg blocked rain channel..............
Any info appreciated!
Yours sounds like mine on Sunday. Mine was in the garage unused for two weeks, I left the top down. Come to put the hood up whilst parked up after a drive and it was very stiff to try and close it. Usually it's really easy to close.
I suggest once you have it raised and clipped closed leave it like that if you can for a while, it will help stretch it back into shape.
Thanks Mick.
That's what I did on first "unveiling" the ST after it had lived folded up under the HT.
It's better now that it was, but still very stiff to re-latch after top-down driving.
Keep it up as much as possible for a couple of weeks, it will stretch
A few things I found helped with MGBs,
leave the hood up when not driving, even in the garage; stops them shrinking and keeps out dust, spiders, and mice,
if it's tight in winter put an electric fan heater inside the car for a few mins with the hood closed as far as possible to warm it,
once up stand it in the sun if you are lucky,
then go for a good blast at death defying speeds (well, ok, on the motorway) with the hood up for half an hour which soon stretches the thing
When i bought mine from a dealer with a hard top, i asked if I could have a look at the soft top. The hard top did not look like it had ever been off. The rag top looked brand new (6 years old), and would not go beyound the last 6 inches. The dealer said we would leave it for a few mins to let the sun warm it up a little.....and sure enough about 5-10 mins later it locked into place. It looked very tight. So i would concur that a little heat will help, and leaving the rag top up in place will help. i have had no problems with it since. Don't forget to lower the windows a little first before lowering the roof
watchnut:Don't forget to lower the windows a little first before lowering the roof
One of those things you do automatically and don't think about for someone new to the cars, either windows down a couple of inches or doors open when putting the roof up, also when the roof is up and you put the windows back up I think it pays to open and close both doors as it lets the window sit on the roof side rubbers nicely rather than the windows pushing the rubbers up and getting the odd drip coming in
MX5 hoods are great though aren't they, folding and latching so quickly. My old MGs had build-it-yourself frame tents for roofs which took several minutes by yourself. If the weather was set fair the hood came off and the tonneau went on. I haven't seen them on MX5s myself but you can get them. We didn't have a garage, so many was the time I'd unzip the driver's side in the morning and swill the water off the other side before going to work. Still luxury compared with the motorbike though! We had a few good summers back then with 2 and 3 week stretches at a time without the hood at all in 1975 and 1976, happy days
Thanks for all the info guys!
I keep the hood up all the time except if I'm gonna drive with it down, then it goes up again when finished..............
Yep I open the windows or doors when putting the ST up.
So looks like just more time required ( & more weathering with hot/cold temp cycles) to stretch it some more. Maybe I should leave the car out in the elements more, still tend to "baby" it, avoiding birdy t*rdies & rain where possible ( want it to last as long as possible!)
Thanks again!
We've got the same problem, but vinyl hood at least 5 years old (and more I think). No hard top so hood's always up when on the drive. been Ok until this year, but now when ever you drop the hood it's a pig to get the catches to engage when you put it back up.
We treat ours with vinyl roof restorer a couple of times a year. Do the vinyl roofs lose their elasticity with time?
Not really, the hood on my last MGB was vinyl and 12 years old and was fine. As said before really, a warm day, then take it for a blast down the motorway for 20 mins which is a gentle and effective way of stretching them back a bit. I've had several daily drivers over many miles and they all go through these cycles of tightening themselves up then getting stretched again at speed.
Another question:
Noticed there are two internal straps at the rear corners (looks like to keep the hood shape around the rear curves) rivetted onto the frame internally. Have noticed they're VERY (drum) tight with the hood up/latched & wondered if these might be pulling against the effort to close the latches............ Might these straps have been fitted too tight? Just a thought............
Still struggling as it spoils the ease of closing the ST after driving (sometimes still takes 2 of us to pull the front down enough to latch).
Regards, Bill
Ours is also getting worse - will soon have to sit on the front edge to get it near enough for the catches to engage. Impossible for wife to close it on her own that's for sure.
Have you tried a good high speed run with the hood up? The hood goes like a soggy paper bag

The compact design of the Eriez Hydroflow Portable Tramp Oil Separator is a suitable choice for small metalworking plants. The high-speed centrifuge built into the portable separator delivers clean fluid with tramp oil levels below .5 percent and metallic solids in the 2 to 5 micron range.
"Reducing tramp oil is a high priority for all metalworking shops," said a company spokesperson. "Excess tramp oil leads to smoke, mist and bacterial infestation of the metalworking fluids and adversely affects surface finish and reduces tool and dimensional tolerance control. Installing the Eriez Portable Tramp Oil Separator can extend the life of coolants and cleaners, improve machining and preserve valuable tools."
Eriez' Portable Tramp Oil Separator recycles fluids at the sump by placing two hoses directly into the machine sump, removing free and emulsified tramp oils from water miscible coolants and aqueous cleaners while the machine tool continues to operate.
Features of the Portable Tramp Oil Separator include stainless steel hood and bowl, built-in clean fluid centripetal discharge pump, quick disconnects on feed and discharge, strainer and 50-micron cleanable pre-filter and air pump and floating skimmer for feed.
"The simple operation of the Portable Tramp Oil Separator is perfect for small metalworking plants with a limited crew," said the spokesperson. "The stainless steel bowl can be easily dismantled for cleaning and the automatic shut-off kicks in when the tramp oil collection tank is full."

Twinlab Magnesium Caps -- 400 mg - 200 Capsules
Great product
My mother has to take 3 of these a day and she has no trouble swallowing these. We have bought these for about 4 years and cannot beat the price either!
April 7, 2013
Great product, Great value!
Anyone who's not including magnesium as part of their daily regiment for overall good health is missing out. This stuff is amazing. It keeps everything moving - in a good, easy way - and just gives me an overall feeling of lightness. It's the only supplement I'll never skip a day of.
April 7, 2013
Great Product!
I usually order the Bio-Citrate Magnesium but I know that Twin Lab is an excellent product and when I was unable to buy what I usually buy I went looking for an alternative. This has proved to be a wonderful product as well.
March 26, 2013
Great product, My husband and I both use magnesium caps daily.
March 11, 2013
Magnesium is very important to your health
I have been taking magnesium tablets for many years now and find that Twinlabs quality is among the finest. I highly recommend you consider this brand when choosing your magnesium tablets.

Ross grand opening is today
SUN PHOTO BY ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICH, firstname.lastname@example.com
Stephen Lansing and Kristin Orr, both of Englewood, laugh at the head-shaped vases they spotted at Ross Dress for Less, which opened Friday in North Port. The grand opening is 9 a.m. today.
SUN PHOTO BY ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICH, firstname.lastname@example.com
Sisters Sherry Davis and Janelle Black, who have lived in North Port since the 1980s, said Friday they love shopping at Ross. The pair said the off-price department store has brought "style" to North Port.

NORTH PORT — Janelle Black picked up a trendy pink lamp and held it near an abstract print on canvas already in her shopping cart.
"It matches perfectly with the painting — let's buy it," Black told her sister, Sherry Davis. "I love Ross. There are so many name brands for cheap."

Actress – Ascending
The Wire jumped the gun when it named Actress's second full-length as best album of 2010. Splazsh had its moments: the warehouse industrial of "The Kettle Men," the spare funk rubric of "Purple Splazsh." But the nomination said more about where critical chic was headed circa the 2010s. A decade earlier, various hyperactive strains of IDM and drill'n'bass had corkscrewed the headier end of electronic music into a corner. Seekers spent the first part of the new century digging out, going minimal, and getting back to basics, whereas club culture turned indie and celebrated all things smooth and glossy. Bedroom producers continued to do their thing, but it was softer and rounder around the edges, and even that wasn't hip.
As the decade progressed and the core genres were rebuilt, a leftfield-looking auteur had a few options. One was to envision an album as an organic, contiguously flowing experience—like it or not, this was the mold cast in the previous decade by Endtroducing, and Scott Herren struggled for many years with projects emulating this mode before succeeding with The Only She Chapters. Flying Lotus also followed this path for the rubbery grooves of Los Angeles, but then he found some new techniques in the trick bag: condensify your sound, let the blippy ornaments accrete, and write between the lines to mash in all your influences. His ambition was impressive, but I found the whole of Cosmogramma too bloated.
With his third album as Actress, Darren Cunningham could've grafted onto the same pattern. But though R.I.P. builds on Splazsh's skeletonized approximation of various genres, its fabric is mysterious, suppler. Some of that's due to his signature, an off-kilter center of gravity—even his more nominally house and techno tracks emphasize what you wouldn't expect, like the odd shuffling sounds that background the beat. And whereas various tracks on the last album felt like bare schematics, his embellishments here add character, and they're tied together with mythological track names that call to mind Ovid's Metamorphoses.
Actress functions like a dark mirror, held up to fuck with traditional dance frameworks—and that was IDM, after all, a supposedly "brainier" take on club records. I don't think R.I.P. is his masterpiece; he's still refining the motifs he uses and the magnifying power of his lens. But there's an insistent, pulsing absence in the track shared here, "Ascending," that conjures to mind visual tools for writing music that we've envisioned for ages—a graphically precise spectrographic chart on which you can erase at will, like a chalk board. We're nearly there, and in the meantime Actress and fellow minutiae savant Hieroglyphic Being will continue to sift the microcosmos for gold.

Viewing cards
Mingle gives you many different options for grouping and sorting cards according to the information you need to know.
There are a number of ways you can view cards
- in a list (default view). This view simply lists cards and is similar to Microsoft Excel. From here you can add or remove columns that represent the card properties. Click on column names to re-sort the list according to the column value.
- in a grid. This lets you view cards as you would physically view index cards on a whiteboard. You can group cards by a selected card property and color cards by a second property. Click and drag cards to update the selected property value.
- in a tree. This lets you view relationships between cards as an inverted tree shape.
- in a hierarchy. This view lets you view relationships between cards as an explorer-like hierarchy.
Mingle always remembers any changes you make to card views or filters within a tab. For example, say you're working within the All tab and you change the view from List view to Grid view, and select a few card filters. If you click on another tab, and then later click back on the All tab, it will appear as you left it with the view and filters intact until you reset the view using the icon on the tab.
This only applies to your current login session. While you're logged in, any changes other users make will not affect how cards appear to you. When you log out (or if Mingle logs you out), Mingle 'forgets' the way you left card views and resets views and filters to the defaults for each tab.

EXCLUSIVE: Mad Men star Jon Hamm has signed on to provide the lead voice (alongside Sandra Bullock) in Minions, the Universal Pictures/Illumination Entertainment spinoff of the Despicable Me franchise. Bullock was previously set to voice Scarlet Overkill, a stylish bad-ass super-villain who is (what else?) bent on world domination.

At the same time, veteran animated feature film executive Tito Ortiz has returned to Chris Meledandri�s Illumination Entertainment in the position of VP Development. Ortiz was one of the original employees at Illumination when it opened its doors in 2007, serving as Director of Development until 2011, when he left the company to pursue opportunities in the music industry. Even during his hiatus, Ortiz stayed close to the company by assisting in development across multiple properties. In his new role, Ortiz will be involved in the development of new feature film projects, and has already started in that mission with the recently announced animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss� How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, which will be directed by Pete Candeland.

"I want anybody who is deaf to come to the front. Anybody who can't hear. God is going to heal tonight." Heidi Baker, with short, swept-back blond hair, hawk-like blue eyes, and Teutonic features, speaks over a powerful sound system into a pitch-black African night.
We are in the dusty village of Chiure, Mozambique, the 11th poorest nation on earth. No electricity or running water is available here. From their ragged clothes and bare feet, you can see that the people are destitute. Two trucks have brought students from Pemba, Baker's mission center. Setting up open-air screens and generator-powered projectors, they have just shown the Jesus film. Preaching followed. And now, a crowd of several hundred has gathered on the bare ground in front of the trucks for the climactic moment.
Heidi Baker, known worldwide for her healing miracles, spends a third of every year on the charismatic speaking circuit, where people routinely fall to the floor in unconscious bliss or shake and laugh uncontrollably. They come, enthralled, to hear of Baker's miracles in places like Chiure.
In recent years, she says, 100 percent of the deaf in the Chiure area have been healed through prayer. Not only that, she claims, scores have risen from the dead, food has been multiplied, the crippled and blind have been restored, and the gospel has spread like fire. Baker's church association now numbers 10,000 congregations, maybe more.
Responding to Baker's call, four people straggle to the front, standing uneasily. The audience crowds forward around them, blocking the view. Most of what happens is relayed over the booming sound system in Portuguese and translated into Makhuwa, the local language, with occasional explanations in English. One can hardly see through a blinding floodlight on the truck.
Attention focuses on Antonio, a somber boy of perhaps 12 who, as a young child, it is said, lost his hearing completely.
Antonio cannot explain himself, because he cannot hear or apparently speak. Baker asks the audience for help. "Do you know Antonio? Is he really deaf?" Only a few people seem to respond. But Baker is satisfied and proceeds to lay hands on Antonio and pray.
Then she gives Antonio a microphone. "Ba-ba!" she shouts, her voice booming through the sound system loudly enough to make the deaf hear. "Ba-ba," Antonio repeats in a strangled, calf-like mew. "Ma-ma!" Baker shouts. "Ma-ma," Antonio repeats.
"Jesus," Baker cues.
Baker announces jubilantly that Antonio is completely healed, and that, in fact, all four people on stage have been healed of deafness. She invites the crowd to praise God, but the response is weak. Later, when asked about the subdued reaction, she says, "It's always that way in Mozambique. They never show much reaction."
Her assistant Antoinette, who has seen many Mozambican healings, agrees. "It seems odd," she says. "We would be jumping around."
Was it a miracle? Unless you knew Antonio before and after, you couldn't say for sure. Baker, though, has no doubt, and nobody else seems to either.
After the healing, Baker asks for villagers with bad backs to raise their hands so that members of the outreach team can find them and pray for them. Then come those with stomach problems. Finally, she invites drunkards who want healing prayer to identify themselves, and a few do. The evening program concludes with outreach team members circulating through the crowd laying hands on and praying for anyone who wants it. Plenty of people seem eager. Some indicate that prayers have been answered.

Hi. I was interviewed for this article because I am Rolland Baker's sister. As a psychologist, I help people recover from religious trauma. Tim Stafford is the first person to discover that R and I are related- both known in their field and completely opposite - but Tim never quoted me, only blogged without using names : http://timstafford.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/im-right-youre-wrong. Rolland & Heidi are saving lost sheep while I am the family black sheep doctoring the casualties. In their "spiritual warfare," I must be an agent of Satan. When I left the faith many years ago & no one wanted to know why, Heidi voiced the opinion that it was because I wanted to sin. I have visited R&H in Africa, but they do not visit me. I respect fruits of the spirit, not miracles. Rolland's breakdown was pills, not demons. I'd like hugs, not sermons. I love them despite the insanity & cruelty because it's the belief system ITSELF that hurts. Raising the dead? Is CT a tabloid? Why is H ill now?
There must be something happening there, and it seems clearly to be something from God. If she has had 10 genuine miraculous healings, that's about 10 more than have happened among wiser, "know better" American Christians. Actually, we have been hearing many reports of healings and other miracles by missionaries in poverty-stricken undeveloped areas for a long time; they just haven't gotten as much press. Perhaps we theologically-developed modern churches and Christians don't know as much as we think we know, or perhaps God has left us to our doctors, hospitals and medical insurance programs to concentrate on those who know that He's their only hope.
Thank you, CT and Tim Stafford, for this beautifully written and moving article. To those reading this on-line, be sure not to not miss the related, stirring story about Feliz Talibo found in Timothy Morgan's "Inside CT." It is refreshing to see a signs and wonders ministry that shows no signs of being polluted by the deceit of riches or personal pride. The Holy Spirit is clearly at work among these poorest of the poor. The critical comments posted in this section shed more light on the commenters than on this movement.

No, Steven, you are LYING. This is the filthy, vicious, evil tyranny and injustice you grotesquely claim is, "liberty and justice":
"During the war I served in a Kentucky regiment in the Federal army. When the war
broke out, my father owned sixty slaves. I had not been back to my old Kentucky
home for years until a short time ago, when I was met by one of my father's old
negroes, who said to me: 'Master George, you say you set us free; but before God,
I'm worse off than when I belonged to your father.' The planters, on the other hand, are contented
with the change. They say, ' How foolish it was in us to go to war for slavery. We get labor cheaper
now than when we owned the slaves.' How do they get it cheaper? Why, in the shape of rents
they take more of the labor of the negro than they could under slavery, for then they were compelled
to return him sufficient food, clothing and medical attendance to keep him well, and were
compelled by conscience and public opinion, as well as by law, to keep him when he
could no longer work. Now their interest and responsibility cease when they have
got all the work out of him they can."
From a letter by George M. Jackson, St. Louis. Dated August 15, 1885.
Reprinted in "Social Problems," by Henry George.
Your claim that this result is liberty and justice is just despicable filth.
No, you are telling evil lies again, Steven. Here's more of your "real liberty and justice":You're the one who calls real liberty and justice evil, while redefining oppressiveness and perpetual injustice as "liberty and justice".
"The widow is gathering nettles for her children's dinner; a perfumed seigneur, delicately lounging in the Oeil de Boeuf, hath an alchemy whereby he will extract the third nettle and call it rent." -- Thomas Carlyle
And with perfect evil, you call what I advocate -- rewards commensurate with contributions and payments commensurate with deprivations -- "oppressiveness and perpetual injustice."
Such claims are simply filth. Evil filth.
Why always lie about what I have plainly written?Why contradict yourself?
It is indisputably true. If it were not, you could show how someone is compelled to labor under LVT, and you can't.Why say "No one is compelled to labor under LVT...", when that is patently untrue.
No, I could not, because it is objectively false, like all your other claims. No one is compelled to labor under LVT, ever. Even those who wish to deprive others of access to more than their share of the land need not labor to do so. They can make their just compensation out of income not earned by labor, or indeed out of any sort of assets they wish.You could honestly say, within your own framework, "People are only compelled to labor under LVT to the extent that they must pay for what they deprive others of..."
No, Steven it is never there at all. You are just flatly lying about what I have written in plain English, as usual.The compulsion to labor is very much there at all times.
All apologists for landowner privilege must lie. Perpetually.Perpetually.
No one said economics was magic, Steven. Although, it might as well be for all you understand of it.The so-called "advantages" of land value don't magically convert themselves to money and appear in anyone's pocket, simply by virtue of landholding.
Anyone who holds land in an LVT system can always pay the LVT by simply allowing the high bidder to use the land. No compelled labor whatsoever. You are just lying. As usual.
?? "Once you pay"??? ROTFL!!! Why would you ever pay lazy, greedy parasites for what nature provided for free, unless you had already given away -- or been robbed of, except that you refuse to know it was robbery -- your liberty to use it?No, Roy, once I pay other landowners for the land (not "rent" but actual purchase payments),
By "agreeing" to pay them in return for nothing (the land was already there, with no help from them or anyone else), you have already admitted that you are paying them for permission to exercise your erstwhile right to liberty.I get a fixed quantity of land in return.
Yes, well, just as it is much more appealing to evil, greedy parasites to be a slave owner than an honest producer, it is no doubt also much more appealing to them to be a landowner rather than an honest producer. THAT is very much the point.Much better than any mess of pottage exemption. That is very much the point.
Buying land is just paying all the rent in advance, just like a slave buying his freedom from his owner by paying for all his future compelled labor in advance. So you are merely describing how you have successfully deceived yourself.If I wanted to rent from a landowner, I could. But if I want no rent, I can buy just as well.
What principle is that, Steven? The fallacious principle of begging the question? I have already proved to you that landownership inherently violates the liberty rights of all who would otherwise be at liberty to use the land, and therefore CANNOT be a right.Then the only pernicious rent-seeking bastards violating the principle of landownership as a right
No, you are still always lying, Steven. LVT is inherently always affordable. The landholder always, by definition, has the ability to pay it by just allowing the high bidder to use the land. LVT is always levied with full regard for ability to pay, because holding land ALWAYS CONFERS the ability to pay its full rent. That is very much the point.are governments that allow for property taxes - making themselves perpetual landlords, collecting rents which are due and owing without regard to one's ability to pay.
But even if you want to redefine ability to pay dishonestly, as ability to pay while forcibly depriving others of opportunity but not capitalizing on it yourself, and counting only income, not assets, as conferring ability to pay, then you still can't defend your claims: when you take something home from the grocery store, is the storekeeper obliged to adjust the price you pay for it based on your ability to pay? No? Then why would government be obliged to charge you less in tax than the value of what you take from society, just because you can't afford to pay for what you are taking without suffering a loss of net asset value, and consequently want to steal it?
Empty name calling. The only "collectivism" in my philosophy is the FACT OF OBJECTIVE PHYSICAL REALITY that people are social animals, and our genetic make-up has been shaped by individual reproductive success within societal success just as much as that of chimpanzees, ants, wolves, etc.Everything about your philosophy is based on collectivism, Roy.
The basis for it is the individual right to liberty -- which can only be secured collectively. Stop lying.And it is not the individual exemption that is collectivized - only the basis for it.
It is fact."non-exclusive use" - what a macabre joke, if it wasn't a lie in reality.
Of course: pitching tents can compromise others' rights of non-exclusive use.Unless you mean that I can wander some parks freely, gather berries and smell the air. Go pitch a tent on public lands that aren't slated for that usage, Roy. You'll find there are laws governing even that.
As above.Are you hungry? See some game you want for dinner? Sorry, that's controlled too.
As above. You just want to call your intended exclusive uses non-exclusive.Want to build a fire to cook that game so you don't get sick? Sorry, that's controlled too.
Except by comparison with everything else that has ever been tried...Pretty much proven incompetent in that respect...
WHICH IT NEVER, EVER WAS, until the advent of settled agriculture and significant fixed improvements some thousands of years ago made it a quick and dirty solution to the problem of securing property rights in those improvements.Yes, and your normative, your premise, Roy, is in the narrowing the definition of "valid", such that landownership is not part of property ownership.
I'm still waiting for you to offer any actual arguments in debate. So far, I've seen nothing from you but factually false claims, outright lies, equivocation fallacies, name calling, lies, strawman fallacies, evasions and lies.That's your narrowing view of "valid", and also the proper role of government through your geolibertarian collectivist lens, and completely debatable.
However, I completely agree that some of my premises are normative. But as explained in my exchange with Buddha, I have refuted the false dichotomy fallacy of normative vs factual. The normative is ultimately grounded in the physical facts of human evolutionary history.
ROTFL! Your economic ignorance and/or dishonesty is hilarious. LVT ENCOURAGES fixed improvements, because that's the only way the user is able to use the land productively enough to pay the LVT. And fixed improvements BY DEFINITION do not cause unimproved land value to increase, because unimproved land value is DEFINED AS the value the land would have if all the improvements were removed.And the net effect of LVT, just like property taxes - don't make fixed improvements to the land, or do anything else that would cause the value of the unimproved land to increase.
Every objection you have offered to LVT, or ever will offer, is objectively wrong.
No, Steven, you are just lying again. Property in land INHERENTLY creates a greedy, privileged, evil, parasitic private landlord class, as already proved. There is no way around it.Yeah, I prefer a fixed reservation. Of my own acquisition and purchase. Freely convertible through sale of one and repurchase of another, with no evil landlord in the mix, public or private.
No, Steven. You tried (unsuccessfully, of course) to "argue from my premises" because you could not consistently defend your own premises, and thought you could derive a reductio ad absurdum from mine. But you couldn't.No, you idiot, I was playing devil's advocate, and quite obviously I thought, to argue from your premises. You can't even do that, Roy.
ROTFL!! I suppose that must be why landowners are proverbial for their greed and parasitism in every culture that has an established tradition of private landowning, and why landowner privilege reliably destroys every civilization that lets it get a foothold. It must be why land reform to take land away from landowners and give it to users has been brilliantly successful in places like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, etc. It must be why Hong Kong, which has no private landowning, is reliably at the top of lists of the freest countries in the world. It must be why the crushing burden of rents and servitude to greedy, idle, parasitic landowners caused revolutions in China (at least three times), Russia, France, Mexico, Cuba, etc., etc.Easy - it didn't turn out to be wrong. It was never the problem.
And you're the one who wants to keep them enslaved and impoverished. Right.You're the one pointing out that others are condemned to pay rents that keep them enslaved and impoverished.
Putting scare quotes around clear, simple English words to try to impute a meaning that isn't there is despicable behavior, Steven. Despicable.Your answer: a friggin exemption - not for a specific quantity of land, but only "land value" exemption that can be applied somewhere on "good lands" that you "propose"
be made available to everyone who has an exemptionAll resident citizens would have exemptions, and it is obvious that only someone as stupid as a bag of hammers could suggest that "quantity of land" be the basis of an equal exemption, as an acre in a prime location can be worth millions, while an acre in most places is not enough to survive on. Land value is the measure of economic advantage obtained by use of land. If the universal individual exemption is not based on value, some will have an unjust advantage over others. That is self-evident and indisputable. You have merely realized that it proves your beliefs are false, stupid, and evil, so you have to refuse to know it.
That is exactly what LVT would do. It just wouldn't make such use of land by "homesteaders" the basis for receipt of an arbitrarily large welfare subsidy giveaway financed by taxing away the fruits of other people's labor indefinitely into the future.(how about do that first, and see what happens? Open up all available public lands, but only in limited quantities per first-time homesteaders. Would you be in favor of that to start with, Roy?
So again, your only "argument" against LVT is that some other system is currently in place, and thanks to dishonest, brain-dead, evil opposition from people like you, LVT is not likely to be implemented as proposed. Moreover, you actually think that sort of puerile, anti-rational garbage deserves to be read and responded to.Fat chance of that ever happening, now or under an LVT).
If landowning is anyone's right, it cannot be everyone's right. That fact is inherent in the fixity of land's supply.Meanwhile, the state takes over the role of those you hate so much, as all previous landlords are turned into a renter class. Yippee, and mission accomplished. That tickles your collectivist turnabout-equals-fairplay sensibilities to no end, but never did you propose that landownership should be everyone's right, because somewhere along the way you got the "LIGHT BULB!" that everyone was somehow violating everyone else's "otherwise at liberty" fact, which you want recognized as a right, so that those liberty deprivations can be recognized as "unjust", or "invalid" based on anyone's exclusive use of lands.
Funny how you have to lie about everything, you mean? No, I don't find it all that funny. It's totally predictable. Which is why I predicted it, and why my prediction has been proved correct.Yesss... isn't it funny how that works, Roy?
Propose in one hand, then let reality kick in, as the government shits in the other, and see which one fills up fastest!"Meeza hatesa gubmint." The entire "content" of your philosophy...
As above.Those "dispossessed aboriginals" had government proposals which were turned into PROMISES - that weren't kept. Like pretty much all government promises over time. That's why your LVT "single tax" solution and "proposed" exemption promise, even if it was a good thing, isn't worth anything at all, Roy, because you haven't addressed that one niggling problem - that government does not keep its promises. That's why we CONSTRAIN government, and still must remain vigilant, knowing in advance that Feed Me Seymour! is going to grow many heads and devour your children if you let it grow.
I have proved it indisputably. You just deny and refuse to know it -- like a flat earther denying and refusing to know the facts that prove the earth is round even though it has been proved round indisputably -- because you have already realized that the facts prove your beliefs are false and evil.Yes. That is precisely what I want to do, because I don't recognize "otherwise at liberty" as a right, nor do I pretend that my exclusive access to land is "unjustly" depriving anyone of any thing. You haven't made that case at all. Capice?
Ah, da gud o'da peephole. Live long and collectively prosper. Spock, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (and most certainly the one).
Collectivist. Nas-tee, Dir-tee, Fil-thee Collectivist.Your use of the word, "collectivist" purely for purposes of name calling does not impress me in the slightest, Steven. In fact, is it puerile and laughable. Yes, I am willing to know the fact that human beings are irreducibly social animals, and can only thrive in society, and to the degree that their society thrives. You just refuse to know that fact, and call anyone who is willing to know it a "collectivist" because you want to thrive at others' expense -- at society's expense -- and pretend there are no consequences of such behavior, like any other greedy, lying, evil sociopath.
You have become confused again, Steven. Of the two of us, I am the one here who is championing individual rights. You are the one trying to rationalize and justify the removal of individuals' rights for the unearned profit of greedy, evil parasites.If you can't acknowledge the rights of each individual, as individual, you aren't worthy to look after the rights of more than one individual.
No, they are not. Such a concept of rights is jejune and self-evidently vacuous and circular. What you really mean is that other people's individual rights exist to be sacrificed on the altar of the Great God Property to satisfy and cater to YOUR whims.That is precisely what individual rights are for, Roy - so that we can cater to our own whims.
Yes, you indisputably do. See your own words, immediately above.I don't.
Your refusal to know the fact that society is an organic and interdependent whole and not just a random set of unrelated individuals does not and cannot alter the fact that it is.And I don't recognize or accept your twisted views on landownership, in and of itself, as the source of harm to that thing you call society, but which I see as nothing but individuals, EACH of whom have rights.
It is the BASIS of individual rights in empirical fact -- as opposed to Buddha's (and your?) doomed and laughable attempt to base individual rights on religious faith.I did read it. What an evil, nasty, collectivist rationale for trampling on individual rights.
No, they are indisputably rights. You just do not know what rights are or why they exist.There is nothing special about that Roy, and those aren't "rights" you are describing. Those are privileges masquerading as rights.
That is a dishonest attempt by you to pretend that there is no difference between a social regime such as the one I advocate, where those who contribute the most to the welfare of all win and those who steal the most from others lose, and a regime such as the one you advocate, where those who steal the most from others win, and those who contribute the most to all lose.I find the appeal to "society", with all its winners and losers under ANY regime,
It is your pretense that society does not exist that is nauseating, naive and infantile. And dishonest.nauseating, naive, and even infantile.
Nope. That's just a lie from you. You have stated explicitly that you want to enshrine landlord greed, privilege and parasitism as rights. It is inherently impossible to separate landowner privilege from thievery, as I already proved to you by the example of the bandit.Nah, I'm the only one who wants to give everyone equal access to the "right" to eliminate "evil landlords", and thieves of all kinds, public and private, from their lives.
No, I am not. Many, many people, including some of the greatest minds who have ever lived, have agreed with me.You are the only one who is saying that the existence of a landlord is only good if it is a public landlord.
Fiat money is not counterfeit, and Kucinich is pretty much right about the monetary system, while Ron Paul is wrong. Trying to go from a debt money system to a gold money system would be catastrophic. Gold worked well as money in the past and is the best base for commodity money, but we can't get there from here. We CAN free ourselves from the banksters by using fiat money issued by government and eliminating debt money issued by private banks. All we have to do is separate the money ISSUING power from the money SPENDING power, and make price stability the former's only mandate.That's no different than Dennis Kucinich, who thinks that a counterfeiting Fed is BAD in the private hands, but GOOD in the hands of government - fer da gud o-da peephole.
You are lying, Steven. I proved that the landowner is no different in substance from an outright bandit. I also proved that you cannot answer The Question:You have only asserted, Roy, and repeated it in circles, ad nauseum. You have PROVED nothing whatsoever,
"How, exactly, is production aided by the landowner's demand that the producer pay HIM for what government, the community and nature provide?"
And no one else can, either.
except that you want to shift what you see as the power of THEFT, which will somehow be magically transformed into JUST COMPENSATION when practiced by the state.That is exactly correct. The state, unlike the private landowner, is the SOURCE of the value I propose to recover for its maintenance. LVT is the only possible way to make government self-financing. You just don't want government to be self-financing. You want government to steal from the productive and give the loot to landowners in return for nothing. That is the entire content of your "philosophy": something for nothing, for YOU.
Such a "philosophy" is just evil, vicious filth.
The only way to secure the property rights of those who produce fixed improvements is to secure the ownership of the FOUNDATION upon which those improvements rest.You have made that objectively false claim a number of times in this thread. Why can't you ever remember that Hong Kong proves all such stupid lies are objectively false?
No, you are still always lying about what I have plainly written. It is the strength and health of SOCIETY that is the standard of right and wrong, not the state. Two different things, no matter how you try to pretend they are both just "collectivist."You want to do exactly the opposite of that, since your interest is in not in individual property rights, but rather whomever has the willingness AND ability to make the state strongest. That's the fascist component of LVT.
There is no such thing as "individual reality." Reality is objective, not subjective.In that, you are married to a puerile, autistic, even sociopathic notion of rights that admits of no flexibility, no adjustment to accommodate individual reality,
Why do individual rights matter? Blank out.no recognition that individual rights are the only rights that matter in any society.
No, that is merely a confession of moral and intellectual bankruptcy.Sure it is.
That is exactly correct. We are all disposable, because in fact, we are all going to die. Children often have a problem coming to terms with that, and even adults may turn to religious fantasies in their desperation to evade it, but I don't. Unlike you, ACTUAL grannies are aware of that fact, and 9 out of 10 of them would sacrifice their own lives for their children and grandchildren without a second thought. Rights, and the human capacity for moral reasoning that they are founded on, are simply evolution's way of dealing with the fact that in society, the effects of grannie's situation and actions on her children and grandchildren's welfare are often subtle, indirect, and counter-intuitive.There you go again. Collectivist. Someone thunks Granny on her head, and leaves her bleeding and dying, and all you can think, in your Hive Oriented Mind, is that the Hive is in danger. Fuck Granny, she's disposable. Society is now weakened - that's what needs to be protected.
Content = 0 (other than your usual sociopathic blather)Again with "society", and "its" prosperity. Collectivist. (sorry for the spray, I spit sometimes when I use that cuss word)
Evolution will make sure that eventually the non-thieving and non-murdering kind of landlord -- which inherently cannot be any kind but government, as government is the source of land value and the only competent securer of the right to life -- prevails because that is more effective. Privilege can't compete with justice on a level playing field. It's just a question of how much needless suffering, how many needless deaths, apologists for privilege and injustice like you will force upon long-suffering humanity in the meantime.Yeah, so let's make sure that if we're going to have thieving, murdering landlords (not just landowners, but landlords), that we make it The Good Kind. You know, the one that will look after a Strong Society.
No, it can never, ever do that because the injustice will always be there, like an infected boil that cannot heal and can only get worse. As long as the injustice is there, the need for compensation will be there. It can never be eliminated.Yeah, private landowning can eliminate the entire notion of "providing compensation".
If you ever figure out what you intended to say there, and can translate it into English, let me know.It would be a wonder to me that you don't advocate the outlawing of rent collection of all kinds, were it not for your screwy rationale that an "otherwise deprivation" being a fictitious "liberty right".
No, you were "arguing" that LVT in place would be something other than what it is.I was arguing as if LVT was already in place, Roy.
No landowners in Hong Kong, remember?No landowners in that fairy tale world, remember?
Thanks for conceding the whole debate.That those who would otherwise been at liberty to access land that is exclusively used by someone else are indeed deprived of that specific natural liberty. That is true.
Yes, actually, it is. It is merely a fact that, because it proves your beliefs are false and evil, you have to refuse to know.That this 'liberty' is a 'right', and that such a 'deprivation' is 'unjust' - is NOT A FACT.
Yes, and I have explained that the normative - factual dichotomy is fallacious.That is a normative assertion on your part,
Law is an attempt to codify rights. It is not a source of rights.which has yet to be codified, recognized as an actual right, and consequent deprivation, according to law.
No, I have never said rights were all codified in law. I have stated many times that laws often violate rights, as laws codifying ownership of human beings or land do.And yet you persist in arguing, asserting disingenuously and quite dishonestly from your premises, as if they were already one in the same.

Same East legislator Anne Kilango has asked the government to stop members of Parliament interfering in affairs of other constituencies, thus fueling chaos and breaching peace.
Kilango made the remark in Parliament last week in her direct question to Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda. She claimed that such interferences should be controlled. "Politicians are capable of building the nation…but they can also ruin it and trigger war," Kilango cautioned.
She explained that some politicians interfered in affairs of other constituencies they don't represent by questioning their performance, something the outspoken MP said if left unchecked will breach peace in the future.
Responding, Pinda acknowledged existence of such acts, saying that he once experienced the same problem in his constituency. "What these politicians are supposed to do is to talk about policies of their political parties or assist in areas they think need improvement," he said.
However, the premier noted that he had requested the registrar of political parties to assist by educating them on multiparty democracy because many of them lack proper understanding of the system.
"I had a chance to talk with the registrar of political parties before we came to Parliament and asked him to assist each political party get proper understanding of the system," Pinda said.
He explained that the law governing registration of political parties stated clearly how political parties should conduct their activities even at times when there were no campaign activities.
The PM said that the laws also allow canceling of registration of any political party with permanent or temporarily certificate when they breach the law, including engaging in acts threatening peace.

The cord wraps really nicely, and the card is attractive. I left it credit card sized - since there is no information on it which could be stolen.

For some time, I've been enamoured with the concept of altbloods and altkids; alternate versions of canon characters that were raised by a different guardian (if human), or have a different blood colour and lusus (if a troll). It raises the question of just what aspects of a character's personality and behaviour is intrinsic to them, and how much comes from their upbringing and social standing. Writing altcolours is just fun for me.
My other love is pesterlog fanfics, because they're fairly simple to write while still allowing for characterization and depth. Needless to say, I have a few floating around my computer. I made a word document a while back to write random altcolour pesterlogs, and the other day I decided to throw them into the fanfic thread.
After the fact, I made an offhand comment about how I need to start writing something that isn't just pesterlogs, to which mutecebu responded:
Then this exchange took place:
I couldn't just leave that. So I made the chart.
Oh I'm sorry, I meant to say
That's right guys, it's up to us to write up conversations between each and every possible pair of altcoloured characters. We will not rest until this chart is full, or until we realize how terrible and unobtainable this idea is. Here's hoping for the former! Anyway ok so here's how this works:
- I'll be the one filling in the chart. As ArcFour put it, I am the Official Recorder of the Altblood Challenge (the challenge otherwise known as Raikonos' Boast). The chart will be linked to in this OP, as well as my sig. I'll try to keep it as up to date as possible.
- There is no overarching canon here. We're probably all going to assume that the canon colours for each character correspond to the canon character, but beyond that there is no single, canonical instance of (for example) mutantblood Sollux. If you want to use a version of a character that you used earlier and expand on it, or that someone else made, go nuts. If it fills out the chart then more power to you.
- As I have it in my head now, memos will count as a conversation between all pairs of every character involved. To counterbalance the fact that this will fill in a lot of squares at once, I'll be marking them in blue as opposed to the usual red. If anyone has any better ideas as to how to handle memos, I'm open to hearing them. Addendum: I will now only be filling cells of characters who actually interacted with each other in the memo.
- Try not to post a pesterlog that would fill an already-filled cell. I'm not going to break anyone's balls on this; if you were in the middle of writing it and someone else posted it first, don't worry about the fact that they beat you to it. Just try to aim for new horizons if possible. Blue cells (characters have been in the same memo, but have not talked one-on-one) are fair game.
-Black cells (all canon/canon pairs, and all instances of a character talking to themselves) are optional, and not required. If you want to write them anyway, feel free. "Feel free" is a bit of a theme in this thread, it seems.
-If you feel like writing something with a character or alt-character that is not a part of the chart, such as Doc Scratch or one of the post-scratch kids, you are holding up the whole process and are a detriment to the very foundation of this thread. The auxiliary chart has been added in order to display the shameful product of your hubris. jk ilu <3
- Above all else, have fun with it. This is a terrible idea and is almost certainly doomed to failure, so why don't we enjoy the ride on the way down?
Archive of pesterlogs from the fanfic thread:
CURRENT PROGRESS: 253/32520 pesterlogs completed! (~0.778%)
Also, here's the colour codes. The text is in bold Courier, so you can copy these into Word or something and then paste the final version with the alternate post editor mode instead of having to manually add colour tags. The RGB values are given for reference, but using RGB values in colour tags appears to be impossible now, so use the hex codes. Or copy the text samples into Word and paste them into the thread with the alternate post editor, since it automatically generates hex codes anyway.
Use the alternate post editor, is what I'm saying. It's easier.
