    maybe good to ask too if you can take your clothes off so you can really feel it? Then ask if they can do it without gloves? Ask that some hottie female employee do it rather than a male, mention you'll enjoy it either way just you prefer females ever-so-slightly...

    Yes, TV, and Internet. Books? Nah, most people don't read that much and it would be a lot of work to get all those books that people already have.
    TV and internet are what keep us docile through both indoctrination and distraction.

    They only count if you know them, that is when bonding happens for males, I assume you are male ((and most likely not promiscuous) since you are on slashdot).
    It will never be about someone holding a gun to your head and making you choose. It is more about the day-to-day grind of giving up your life for theirs. Also in a catastrophic situation, think car accident, fire, child falls into ocean... You'd have to be one off-the-charts cold blooded snake not to go in to rescue your child, with not much regard for your safety.
    Of course, as I alluded to earlier, you wouldn't know this level of commitment having never had children. The little boat anchors have a way of really worming their way into your heart, think of the bond you form with a puppy (if you've got experience with that) and raise it to some very large number, you might then be getting close.

    Outside of that exception, I agree with your philosophy of the relevance of my life vs that of anyone else on the planet.

    not that I agree with you on any of your post but,

    I think that's what people are against that the vast majority of people ~95% are fighting over the 10% that the very rich don't control. That is patently unfair and such a situation cannot end well. Yes, fairness does matter, even in capitalism (true capitalism anyhow).

    assuming you are right, doesn't it seem odd that in "the richest country in the world", a full %50 of the people are poor? Sounds to me like the economic downward spiral is accelerating.

    Your postings read not too differently from a press release. Maybe too much kool-aid for you, perhaps you should be paid with how well you adhere to the party line. Seems unfair for you to evangelize so fervently for a for-profit corporation with no remuneration.

    What exactly about my comments makes you think I have anything other than the utmost contempt for Fox "News" and the fucktard Sara Palin?

    I don't know why everyone is so passionate about the usa all over the world, perhaps you could enlighten me?

    I don't know how the extremism took root, but I think it is born from the general decline of our economic outlook. I don't mean macro, I mean at the micro level. When things get rough, the government finds it easier to redirect our anger rather than address root causes and fix the problem. I think the right solution is extremely protectionist trade policies (like what China does) combined with a massive pullback in military spending. Maybe if we weren't such meddlesome assholes, terrorists wouldn't target us.

    I see, 22, so ...you just took a macro-economics course and think you have all the answers. Thanks for answering my question about you dressing funny, I'm taking your self-description as a "yes".

    So companies go uninsured, they'll either have to self-insure, or sell off assets until they can afford to self-insure. The assets they'll sell off could be considered spin-off companies, which will keep doing whatever they were doing before they were spun off. This would continue to happen until companies were small enough that smaller insurers could come in and fill the gaps. So really I don't see why all the predictions of economic destruction from one (non-productive) insurance company going out business. Too big to fail is what AIG and their boosters were pushing cause they like the trough they feed at. You as a French person don't give a shit, of course, you didn't pay for the bail-out. I did, my children will pay for it, so will theirs. You are probably ok now with your old empire having faded long ago into obscurity. For USians (me) it is a new and scary thing this business of our once-mighty empire fading into irrelevance.

    It's funny how you think that somehow democracy means something in the US. It doesn't, it is just a way for USians to feel like we have an effect on our future. We get wave after wave of morons that only have the interest of corporations in mind (witness the bailouts). No real choice, you see, they're all bought and paid for in advance. "The People" get soothing words and nothing more. Hopefully it is better in France, it probably is as you, I think, stick closer to your philosophical roots (Voltaire). We have no such as our fathers were nowhere near as verbose and prolific thus their ideas and thoughts are often misinterpreted to serve the agenda of the day.

    This was a family that burned trash because they couldn't afford trash service or dump fees. Do you really think that paying up $20K (guess) on the spot was an option for him? Shit, his house is probably not worth more than $15K , $18K with the stuff in it and the animals. Nope, what he should have done was bought a hose ahead of time and put out the frikin fire himself right when it started. Small fires are easier to fight than big fires.
