I'm betting on them instituting polygamy with two or more husbands for every female. Or making male homosexuality acceptable and even preferable. Maybe castration as a way to receive free college education (it reduces the needfulness)? Another thing is that maybe they'll all take to avidly watching pron and never even notice that they've never actually hung out with real women nor do they care to.
It is true though. It also worked well for Japan. And, hell, it is how the US got started, by stealing patented device ideas from the British/UK. The thing is, they start out copying and then springboard that knowledge into innovation. Anyone with any amount of experience knows that engineers learn a lot from the manufacturing lines and processes. We've sent a tremendous amount of ours to The Middle Kingdom, what is that doing to the development of our engineering talent? Even when dealing with AI: insights gained on an assembly line can be used as catalysts and motivation when developing AI.
Yeah, there's some truth to this but remember that the original saying was: "He who represents himself has a fool for a client". So it didn't specifically speak to lawyers representing themselves. It is also possible that this saying is propagated by law bar associations and attorneys to keep their profession in higher regard.
Moreover, I was referring to the profession defending itself from external challenges. If all the lawyers threw in together, they could surely come up with some "best choices" to be leads and the rest could crowdsource the grunt and research work. I imagine they would be like the IBM Nazgul only scarier since they would be purely intrinsically motivated.
Were you trying to win simultaneous awards for stupidity, impracticability, hyperbole, in-humaneness, and general anger? I'd vote for your entry, hope you get to the -1 you deserve.
That's impractical for commuting any type of distance. If you're going to cover distance, you need a bike that will do it fastly, not some lame-ass compromise hybrid.
Well, that preference a good reason to kick out 10 million illegals and limit immigration, isn't it?
No, it isn't, you're an illegal immigrant. Maybe the natives should kick your sorry ass out. You can't seriously think that something as absurd as the Papal Bull on the "Doctrine of Discovery" gives the Pilgrims and other vermin such as the Spanish "Conquistadors" the right to claim already occupied land. So fuck you and your absurd borders and claims.
Did you not read where I stated my reasons were based on being humane? Your absurd stupidity really is testing my cool today. Did you not read? How does someone with your mentality translate what I wrote into that implying agreement with your stupid statement? I'm really curious about the logic that got you to that point. For reference, is Rush Limbaugh a personal hero of yours? Is Faux "News" a source of information/perspective?
BTW. Your claims were wrong. Blatantly wrong and patently false. I see that I made a mistake in trying to be nice.
abso-fucking-lutely. Why are you so surprised? Their presentations are very much fact based. I figure I'm about 1000 orders of magnitude better informed listening to the Colbert Report and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver than I would be watching Faux "News". Faux "News" after all won a lawsuit by claiming, apparently successfully, that they are entertainment and not news.
I put an "end sarcasm" tag at the end of my comment but it disappeared... I should have been more careful to try to force it to stay visible. I was being sarcastic. Password manager? Not allowed. The machines are all on separate networks. No can do.
Interesting info, however to appropriately argue based on your statements, lets take out the non-European countries ok? https://www.countries-ofthe-wo...
So out go Israel, New Zealand, and Japan. Should we put in Albania, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to take their place? You did say _all_ European countries didn't you? Lets be lazy and assume you didn't mean _all_ but rather were just engaging in hyperbole and lets look at your Wikipedia page for the actual European countries you listed: France 4407 Iceland 4012 UK 4003 Finland 3984 Italy 3272 Spain 3153
Hmm... It appears that your statement of "although it spends more per capita than any European system" is not quite true. It is true in some cases but not true in most. I prefer we cover all humans (because I'm humane that way) not just US citizens but the difference between the two is small so lets not quibble.
However, even though you are wrong, the numbers are still definitely interesting. You might want to change your statement to closer approximate reality, the point is still a good one. Thanks!
Not data entry, data extraction. Building connections between documents. Computers do these things well, better and better as they are trained with appropriate data sets. They do these faster than than humans, by orders of magnitude. Robots will always win in the long run. John Henry won but he died doing it, the machine lived to continue working. Machines always win.
I am not going to go work for $2/hr if I am getting $6/hr for staying home. $6/hr is my base of reference, I won't work for any less than $12/hr because that is what my time is worth. If I need some extra cash, I'll do some side jobs but nothing that takes my UBI share away for less than $12/hr because that would be stupid.
I was going to go to a different link but I figured you deserve to be hoist by your own petard since you are an idiot and an inhumane dickhead. So, from your 2015 link: the Defense Department accounts for 50.5% of discretionary spending, discretionary spending is $1.06 trillion, where mandatory spending is $2.29 trillion. Thus doing a little bit of maths, lets us know that 1.06/2.29 * 50.5 = percent of budget that can be added to that consumed by the military. That number being 23.37.
So, by your numbers and link alone, we're throwing 39% of our budget into the military. That would be a reasonable budget in the middle of a protracted war but, that is our fucking peace-time budget! I'm willing to be corrected, just point out what I didn't account for please.
I say let's keep the 16% but take the other amount and give up for education, health care, and UBI. That would make 'murica! great again, I think.
Our whole health care system spends more per-capita than any other country. I'm pretty sure that Medicare/Medicaid alone doesn't do that. Have you any backing for your claim?

Yeah, I'm sure that set back their progress thousands of years. Hell, it probably added 6 billion hours of productivity to the country as a whole.
Hey! Maybe we should do that with sports, and cat videos, and pron, and celebrity watching. I bet productivity would skyrocket!
It is true though. It also worked well for Japan. And, hell, it is how the US got started, by stealing patented device ideas from the British/UK.

interestingly, tRumpF has been referred to as the uber-Dunning-Kruger. He is exploring heretofore undiscovered Dunning-Kruger territory.
AFAIK, interfaces cannot be patented. This is why the robust market for aftermarket car parts exists.
Yeah, I've read that. It makes sense to some degree but like with everything else, there are always exceptions to the "rule".
My second paragraph still stands. They would be formidable as a group.

Because lawyers can defend themselves, vigorously and at virtually zero cost.

I'm game for this.

Where did you say you worked? ;-)
Company director probably has a locked door office and you don't, so, maybe you're not quite as secure as you imagine.
Yeah, lets see you remember 8 unique passwords on systems you don't use on a regular basis. Frikin snowflake!
Yeah, great idea! Because I always remember that!

It can't be worse than the trickle-down economics fantasy that the retard Reagan destroyed our economic base with.

Stop it! Stop it! You are destroying the straw-man! We can't have that! This is 'murica! We're #1! We're #1! We're #1! we are, right?....
