Every time I pay a visit, any inclination I had to return evaporates. The news coming from there makes me sadder and sadder (and I don't even make much of an attempt to keep up with it).
OK, so let's say I go to the store and buy a carton of live yoghurt. I get home, pull a gallon of milk from my closet and dump the yoghurt in the milk and stick it in the airing cupboard. Have I stolen from the store now?
What, that many E-numbers are still in use today and being eaten by the majority of the population and that a few have been banned because they are known to be harmful. Seems like it worked out pretty reasonably to me.
No one (almost) wants to pay more because the utility of doing so is pretty small. It'll all be over in a couple of hours and you would have to pay a pretty serious amount extra to actually have a pleasant experience. An extra two inches of legroom might be "nice" but it will still be cramped, you won't really be able to move around freely, the food will still be uninspiring (if nothing else, due to the effect of altitude) and the baby two seats over will still be crying.
The only place I can see it would be worth it would be on longer flights (say 3-4 hours plus) and then it would be even more expensive and the bigger planes tend to be a little bit more comfortable anyway. My cousin and her husband did pay for one of those private cabins on a recent trans-pacific flight, that looked like it would have been nice (he's fairly loaded though)
Maybe. But one person's idiocy is another person's fundamental belief system. Thus, when it comes to socialized things like public schooling, the lower down you can push the decisions, the more local to the people who it affects, the better. Yay, I say, even unto the individual level. Which is why I bring up homeschooling which is, unfortunately, not allowed in all jurisdictions.
A standard PPL allows you to split the costs only. That could be a significant amount though (or, as I'm sure many pilots see it, more hours in the air). Of course, no one is standing there watching so unless you were doing some serious abuse...

No need for a paint job, I was thinking vinyl decals.
but I want to know that that's ALL they're doing with it, and that they're not selling my data etc. etc.
You can't and never will. That's the point.
What if they throw away the primary key?
Except 12 years ago.

Same here.
Additionally, you could issue a "fine" that is unenforcable with the proviso that if it is not paid, the finee is banned from the property in future.

And that's fine. It's when you start fining people for exceeding the speed limit when conditions are safe to do so that the problem arises.
Sooner or later you run up against the quantum nature of light.
But it's somewhat evocative of the much-imitated Iron Maiden font which was out-and-about much earlier.
I thought hipsters don't carry cash.
They don't have to hemorrhage. If their price drops, they could be bought up and asset stripped.
Hot air meet hot air, actually. Hot air squared.
Decided to give the "weather is not climate" thing a convenient rest, eh?
Yup. The chemtrails are finally paying off.
It's only a Republican convention so only half the rats, alas.

Should a company be able to sell vegetarian food which contains animal products by mislabelling them as "natural flavoring"?
Many people do not want to eat GM food so labeling should be provided accordingly. End of story.
You may want to look into the costs of handling cash and cheques. There's a reason the card people can charge what they do.

However, quite a few of us are not big fans of utilitarianism (Not that I'm a fan of IP laws either)

I and 48 other people would rather our stuff wasn't stolen in the first place.

You don't have to be filthy rich to fly your own plane (though it surely helps)
