You are deeply confused about some very basic definitional issues. I recommend a remedial course in economics before speaking or voting again.  
 
 
Is two years at Georgia Tech enough?  Free Market and Capitalism are NOT THE SAME THING. Read up yourself before sticking your foot in your mouth. "
No, two years studying an unnamed major at a mediocre school apparently isn't enough. The free market is an inherent part of capitalism.  Capitalism's focus is the allocation of resources through individual economic choice. This cannot occur effectively without the free market. 
 
Webster will demonstrate my point 
 Capitalism:   an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.

" Communism would work, just with a very small group, maybe 50 people. Otherwise it would take goddamn forever to distribute goods equally, and the chance of greedy assholes would become higher, since human are basically greedy little motherfuckers. Also just a thought, if we were to encounter some sort of intelligent life, lets say aliens, that lived through a communist style system, my first guess is a huge war started by humans so that we could "save them".  "


 It's been tried among 50 people. Many times. Failed every time. Have a look.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibbutz

Communists are like a person who believes they can free prisoners from their incarceration by blowing up the walls of  the jail. They argue that all previous attempts to do so, which have resulted in the collapse of the jail and the death of all inside, were due to improperly placed explosives, or some other technical flaw. What they fail to recognize is that the project is fundamentally flawed. Every attempt to extricate prisoners from a prison by exploding the prison walls will result in the collapse of the prison, regardless of how well you place the explosives. In the meantime, they continue to get thousands more killed by repeatedly attempting their failed project. 
  
Not Russia nor China nor Cambodia nor Vietnam failed in their communist projects because they were dictatorships rather than true communist states, but rather because attempts to produce a socialist/communist state are inherently prone to dictatorship because they put an inordinate amount of power in the hand of the state, which history has shown repeatedly results in corruption, poverty and massacre.

I love how "Crysis very high settings" is a game to you. Says a lot about the quality of the rest of the game.

" . . . play again Modern Warfare 2. Indeed, all this talk about Medal of Honor, the review and Quick Look, just made me want to come back to Modern Warfare 2. And, let me tell you, that game still rocks. I think I am enjoying it more than I did the first time I played it. I am even going to try and complete it in Veteran which I haven't finished a year ago.  Did Medal of Honor made you do anything? "
I just went back and played some MW2 multiplayer. It sucked ass. On the PC it's a broken ass, frentic game.

That's because you're fat and have ugly sideburns.

" Legalize pot already so that the profit potential of at least that drug is nil.   "
Yep, because that's the only drug coming across the border. And also because well established and powerful drug gangs won't turn to some other form of illegal employment (kidnapping, smuggling people, robbery) to make their money. Nope, they'll just leave their guns on the ground and go home, saying "Damn you, American pot smokers!".
