  1. So the only verified citation he gave is from a city that destroyed itself by attacking the upper incomes with taxes?

    Hilarious. Fucking dumb lefties.

    No, you can't play this game because the people you are talking to didnt say anything about Fox.

    You are defending CNN on the basis that its only doing what FOX does. Everybody let that sink in.

    This guy apparently likes what FOX does, tho of course he wont admit it.

    Stop being retarded.

    Thats not good enough for Mozilla.

    Mozilla wants to be the guy that stops you. Its rooted in the same justification as any religion, such as Christians and Liberals. Its for your own good, our our own good, etc...

    First and foremost they are in favor of Rule of Law.

    Unconstitutional things remain unconstitutional regardless of how you feel about it.

    On the left tho.... that whole Rule of Law thing just gets in the way.

    That might explain what happened to Detroit.

  6. The enlightened left never wants to admit that your tax burden is already as high or higher than those enlightened Europeans. They always want to cherry pick what taxes are counted here (not all), vs there (all).

    Don't worry though, the Union over there is going to have its federalization moment as well. What will they be saying when the Union is also spending as much as all their "Countries" combined.

    If your "media" was championing either of the first two in light of the last one, YOU ARE LIVING IN A FAKE NEWS BUBBLE YOU DUMB FUCK.

    So just to be clear, because I think that you shouldn't give up rights simply because you work for the government

    How come the first thing you say is always a fucking bullshit fallacy? You do understand that you keep opening with a flag that reads "You cant trust me, now listen up" .. yes? You do realize that, right?

    The People are the Union of the Public Workers. Full Stop.

    No Rights are being taken away from The Police by abolishing their bullshit Union. On the contrary, their bullshit Union is taking away the rights of The People.

    is it All People you hate, or just Brown People?

    Exactly this.

    The W3C is how these companies have chosen to organize it. Nothing more.

    The fact that Mozilla so rarely gets its way on the topic of DRM is of no surprise, because their position on DRM is wholly unreasonable.

    I actively seek out non-DRM'd content. What I dont do is actively meddle with other people on the justification that I dont like DRM. If you want DRM'd content I will not be the guy that stops you... but Mozilla wants to be that guy. Fuck Mozilla, pretending to support freedom but actually an enemy of it.

    Starting point would be to ackowledge crimes figures in the USA

    No, the starting point is recognizing that the Police Unions are too powerful.

    All public sector unions need to be abolished. These unions work against the public interests. The voters need to be the only Union for the public sector.

    Not sure that this is true. Whole Foods was/is ostensibly in a different market than most grocery chains are.

    Whole Foods is all about the brand. While this is a recipe for profit, its also fragile as hell. Deep pockets like Amazon could destroy the business by targeting the brand.

    So I think Whole Foods simply chose the win-win option instead of the option where they definitely get hurt.

    So what you are saying is if I have $100 you are going to take $10, then a year later now that I have $90 you are going to take $9, and so on?

    Exactly how many times do you intend to tax the same money?

    I suspect that you havent considered this argument and have just panicked a bit because the go-to solution to this argument is to tax increases in wealth... however thats called "income" and would be an "income tax."

    Here is the thing... our "income tax" is a lie. It should correctly be called a "revenue tax." We don't tax increases in wealth. We tax a persons revenue instead, and its immoral on every level.

  19. You are all missing the forest.

    Patents originally only covered manufacturing processes. The intent being that superior processes become public information instead of trade secrets.

    You know what can't be a trade secret? The Components or Designs of your product. Stuff on the store shelves arent a "secret."

    Because the laws are so many that nobody has ever read them all and nobody will ever read them all.

    We've been saying that this is a problem my entire adult life. The establishment and those that defend them keep writing more laws. Tens of thousands of pages of legislation year in, year out.

    They even pass laws that nobody has read yet, or did you miss the "we have to pass it in order to find out whats in it"
