"well, either my kid gets food, or your three kids get food. And like fuck I'm letting my kid starve".
- yeah, well, 3 to 1, guess who has better odds.
But you have as many problems with logic as you do with the very idea of the individual freedom.
People will figure out what to do to satisfy their needs and if they do not figure it out, they will decrease their birth rates and numbers organically, without ass-holes of various sizes getting their nose into every nook and cranny.
Well, it's the currently living generations that will pay for this economic disaster that the past generations (and the current) have perpetrated upon the society with all this socialist/fascist/totalitarian nonsense.
Is it going to be the children? The children need to run away and not pay for all these immoral 'obligations' that the old generations have placed upon them.
Didn't you hear? Newt Gingrich wants to start a Lunar colony. Of-course no amount of rockets will help him there, what he needs is James Cameron with lots of movie shooting gear.
In exchange for taking all your information, IP and data, they then went back to said companies and said - we can do what you do, at a 10th of the price. Que economic damage doubled.
- I have news for you: it takes two to tango.
USA is benefiting from the Chinese much more than the Chinese are benefiting from the USA at this point, and I have written on this last year in the journal and many times over for years before that.
Chinese and the rest of the world is destroying their own purchasing power - currencies, in order to feed the beast that is US government machine, because USA decided only to manufacture one thing: fake money, and given that the rest of the world didn't drop the USD like a dead corps that it was, once Nixon defaulted on the REAL dollar - gold, it just shows how really STUPID the rest of the world is for allowing itself to be turned into slaves with fake paper currency.
But of-course it takes two to tango, Chinese gov't doesn't give a shit about purchasing power and living conditions of the Chinese citizens and neither does US gov't of the US citizens, and thus everybody has the same problem - their governments are basically their real enemies.
Stop with the totalitarian bullshit. A human being who has never been conceived is not in any way "harmed".
- simply preventing people from what is their NATURAL RIGHT? As in - you are going to impose a government system on the people that would force them to have a prescribed number of children, and you call MY comment bullshit?
You are basically a failed sadist dictator, who'd love to impose himself upon the free will of others, and I am an ass?
Since you can't understand the written word, how should I spell it out to you, in which language? LEAVE THE PEOPLE ALONE. They'll be just fine without your totalitarian bullcrap, you modern day Hitler (end of discussion I suppose, no?)
Just MAYBE the GOVERNMENT shouldn't have created the false sense of security - the moral hazard, by providing the companies in question with 'insurance' against such accidents, especially in the form of liability caps (what was it, 75 Million per accident?)
And then MAYBE the GOVERNMENT shouldn't have used its power to prevent shallow water drilling with regulations.
For your individualistic approach and a probable adherence and devotion to the Constitutional principles, you are now declared the enemy of the State and are sentenced to be re-educated and recycled in that order.
Nonsense. People are NOT a drain on a system if the system does not turn them to be a drain.
The system that allows the people to be free and to fulfil their own needs allows for the people to provide for themselves, this is a natural consequence of free market - the more demand there is for something the more supply will be provided. People find way to create more supply when there is more demand and if they can't find the supply, there will be a natural decrease of population (this is seen in European countries, as they are forced into near slave taxation levels, they can't afford children and births are very depressed as the young are forced to give up so much for the old).
OTOH your proposal is nothing short of Modest, isn't it? I can see you standing on a podium, a round of applause from the junger-cpu6502s or however your preferred system of totalitarian regime will organise everybody. I bet self-immolation and other forms of suicide would be greatly encouraged and praised for their 'selflessness' that is so wonderful for your preferred flavour of socialist movement.
I have a better proposal - you have matches and access to some kerosene? Do you know how to use those things? Set an example.
block in all block out all... pass in log inet proto tcp from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to $ext_if port ssh pass out log inet proto tcp from any to $ext_if port ssh
or something similar depending on the versions of the tools.
I don't know why my W510 has this resolution. My old DELL Latitude D810 with WUXGA display has 1920x1200 resolution, but that laptop is now impossible to use, it's so old and underpowered and it overheats immediately and responsiveness is near 0. But I want that screen on my new laptop, WTF is wrong with this picture that since 2005 the screen resolutions have gone down as opposed to going up?
Nonsense. Speculators are in all markets, do you blame them for prices going down also? Do politicians do that?
Speculators are a huge part of price discovery and increase of efficiency (you don't want to overpay for stuff, but underpaying takes money away from the seller also), the more speculation there is the more precise the prices are given the market conditions.
Speculators help to discover prices, not set them.
The obvious reason for oil nominal prices going up is inflation and nothing else.
The Fed can't take credit for pushing the prices of DOW up with inflation but not at the same time admit that the prices of all other things are also going up because of their fiscal policy of inflating the supply of money.
In gold and silver and many other commodities the prices for oil are falling, not rising.
Government printing money pushes nominal prices up, be it prices of DOW or gold or oil or cotton, whatever.
Speculators are in fact keeping the prices as low as they are today, there are 2 sides to all speculations, many are betting that prices will go up and many are betting that prices will go down.
Blaming the speculation for prices going up is a political thing, politicians never blame the speculators for prices going down, but speculators are in the markets always, up or down. They are reducing the spread, the more speculation there is the more precise the price discovery mechanism is (wisdom of groups).
That would look strange, a bunch of hippies doing good looking kung fu moves on one side, and a bunch of technocrats throwing everything, and the kitchen sink out of their fortress.
Before you put yourself through 4-5 years of debt acquisition process they like to call 'higher education', fancy this:
If instead of doing it, you take 4-5 years and right away hit the pavement and go look for a job in IT, without any skills at all, whatever, just come to a shop and say: let me do some documentation for you, I'll do it very very very cheaply, just let me in the doors. Let me do some stupid stuff, that you don't want to do, but needs to be done, and I'll do it really really really cheap for you, just let me work and learn on my own, I won't bother you too much.
Give me a 6 week trial period, I don't even want a single dollar for that time I'll spend fixing fixing your printers, running papers around, whatever you have to do. Try me, I am very motivated and I really want to do this without getting into stupid debt that the country seems dead set at piling on top of me.

I bet you take that speech and you learn it and go around the block a few times, in 2 weeks you'll have your first tech related job and in 4-5 years you'll be way ahead: no debt, no wasted time, but 4-5 years of experience, a salary that may not be stellar, but you'll be CLEAR OF DEBT and you'll be rising on that corporate ladder, doing something you may find you either like or not and all of this you'd do on your own.
Looked up jm223, because combined with the fact it was the first comment by him, it seemed to be a strange nick, a type of a nick that is used by many local trolls, when they are banned, they take the same base nick and add some numbers to it. However there is no 'jm220' , there is no 'jm100' but there is this character, just jm UID 18663, and based on his ID and a few comments it didn't seem like he is a student in search of a better form.
So it seems it could be a legitimate question.
The answer is to work with people who are better than you and learn from them, you need to observe them work or at the minimum you need to look at their products and learn by reading, this is the only true answer.
The best option is of-course to learn by working with somebody like that and learn by doing while working with them.

Well, that's easy to fix, your lack of this particular knowledge.

Same thing. It's not like anybody doesn't know that the government taxes them to pay for running things into the ground, research, etc.
- FTFY.

You are right. Same exact thing can be said of every other MSM channel out there.
"it's white" - that's an ignorant and probably a racist statement.
The Moon is clearly not 'white'. The Moon is quite a mix of colours actually. The bright disk you see with your eyes is just a reflection of the Sun.
Well, with iptables for example you can do
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --dport 8022 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 8022 -j DROP
with pf:
block in all ...
block out all
pass in log inet proto tcp from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to $ext_if port ssh
pass out log inet proto tcp from any to $ext_if port ssh

Would you care to explain why despite supply being at an all time high just a few years ago, prices never came down to match?
- obviously. I can explain this very easily with one single word, but you can expand my other comment to see more details.
Inflation.
Export taxes are very specifically unconstitutional.
Obviously people proposing things like this have long abandoned the principles.
Nonsense. Speculators are in all markets, do you blame them for prices going down also? Do politicians do that?

It is all about inflation.

Of-course they do, and when the 1% is departed with their wealth and their heads, the next ones in line are those, who were just below them.
Eventually you can be that 1%, it's not like it takes too much to be in that category given enough murder. It happened many times, and just a little while ago the 1% were people with metal roofs above their heads (not that it helped them to escape the 99% with the guillotines).
