How is 'rights for entrepreneurs' not 'redistribution of wealth?' I mean, if they are getting special rights the rest of us aren't, isn't that a form of redistribution of wealth?
Just pointing out, 'redistribution of wealth' is something both sides do. One side believes in distributing it to the poor, the other side to the rich. Ever heard of trickle down economics? Redistribution of wealth.
As for land, well, if 'disposing of it as one sees fit' means 'polluting the fuck out of it' or 'not paying taxes on it' then I can't support that. If it means that, barring reasonable special cases where your actions impact others, you can do what you like with your land, well, we already have that. It's hardly a rallying cry.
People can and do put up Christmas trees in public squares all the time. Where do you live that they don't allow that? Even San Francisco has Christmas trees.
Sorry if I'm sounding like a dick here, (yeah, yeah, it's my MO) because I agree with your sentiment, it's the specifics that gave me a bit of a pause.
I am willing to accept the possibility that AGW is an incorrect hypothesis. The preponderance of evidence points against it. And the preponderance of evidence points towards the solutions being correct and workable, or at least a step in the right direction.
We need to share this world, and if there is a chance that anyone's actions would impact my legitimate use of part of this world unfairly, then I will attempt to get them to do something about it. That is utterly fair, and that is all we are doing. People don't want to be called out on their unfair actions, so they attempt to invent reasons why they aren't to blame.
That is my working hypothesis as to why most people who deny AGW do so. They don't want to have to change their profitable but unfair actions. Seems far more likely to be true than the hypothesis that thousands of scientists are lying and there is some kind of conspiracy to silence dissent.
Who knows, really? Maybe you are right. I find it highly unlikely, but I'm willing to consider the possibility. I have considered the evidence presented by both sides, and as far as I am concerned, the preponderance of evidence lies on the side of anthropogenic global warming. You feel differently. Got it.
The fact that I don't agree with you does not mean I am stifling dissent. Can you comprehend that a person, perhaps even someone as intelligent as you, can come to different conclusions about the world?
Again, I suspect you are projecting. You are the one who has so strongly identified his sense of self with his belief system that anything that challenges that belief system challenges your very identity. You literally can not imagine how someone who holds contrary beliefs to yours could in any way be your equal. The only way someone could believe differently is if they are somehow inferior.
Wrong? How am I wrong? Anger is clouding your ability to think rationally, you are descending into infantile behavior. You can't even fully comprehend what's happening, can you? I feel sorry for people in your condition. You should look into anger management classes, for your own health. That level of futile rage can lead to heart problems and even cancer.
From what I understand, ZFS is fast not memory efficient. Minimum recommended system memory is 1GB, more is definitely better.
I'm no expert on ZFS, I just did a google search on 'zfs benchmark' and then on 'zfs memory usage' and pulled information from the first few results. Maybe someone who actually knows something can chime in?
Eh? There is no core content module in Joomla, that is the point of a framework. There are a number of small content modules that work together and are all very configurable, so it is quite easy to extend their workings without replacing the 'core' because their is no core. There are also a number of open source as well as commercial options, although options for 1.5 (the one built on a framework) are limited because it just came out.
I'm happy for you that you've found a CMS you like, though. That's nice. Just don't identify with it to the point that when someone likes something else, it feels like a personal attack. That's bad.
Hehe. Thankfully work is not actually crap, I'm just a perfectionist with a low tolerance for annoyance. As for support, who do you do business with that you get good tech support? I can say that VMWare is the only one that I work with regularly that is decent. IBM, HP, Novell, Gateway, Winchester, all crap more often than not.
You really do the whole pot/kettle/black routine well. I mean, you are a textbook example of projection. Everything that you can't stand about yourself, that you hate so much you can't even acknowledge, you project onto other people.
You deniers are the religious ones, the ones who don't dare consider the possibility that the other side is right. You are the ones who run to your oft-disproven bibles and holy men, without thinking things through for yourselves. You are the ones who's websites provide not facts, but propaganda.
Just to let you know, it feels really good to be right. Maybe some day you'll get to feel that way too.
Stop making shit up. No one is threatening anyone's jobs or lives. Calling anthropogenic global warming a religion is simply ad hominem craziness, and merely demonstrates that your world-view lacks factual basis. Please go to realclimate.org and see for yourself how all these bullshit arguments against AGW have been debunked, again and again, by actual science, not the name calling and poop flinging you deniers engage in.
Oh, and on a more personal note, thanks for giving me something to be angry at so often. I often find myself frustrated at work, what with crappy tech support, lazy coworkers, badly designed systems, and what have you. I can always count on you to provide me with an outlet for my self righteous indignation.:P
Nice anecdotes. Look, I can do it too: I knew 12 million billion people, including my mom, my dad, and my entire church choir who died because they couldn't afford health insurance here in the US and the emergency rooms were full-up with other people who couldn't afford healthy insurance.
Have any numbers from real studies? Because the studies I've seen seem to paint a different picture than your anecdotes.
Ugh! You modern hominids and your fancy 'technology.' CMS has stood for 'Cave Management System' (AKA Mrs. Ogg) ever since I married her, uhh, many moons ago.
This is the one thing I find annoying about Joomla. But Joomla 1.5 is written as a framework. Nothing is built in, not even the article, section, or category systems. It would be pretty easy to make a tag based system that lets you have arbitrary page trees instead of the two tier section/category system that comes built in.
Hey, guess what? The same goes for everyone else. I know you have trouble understanding that it isn't JUST people who you don't happen to agree with who's opinions aren't facts, but people you do agree with and, yes, even yourself.
Wow, a libertarian web site does not agree with the idea of socialized medicine. You've been drinking too much of the old libertarian cool-aid.
People I've talked to from Canada, the UK, Germany, Japan, France, and Italy all love their socialized medicine. No one I've talked has ever, or even knows anyone, who has had to go to a free market health care system to cover what theirs will not.
Doctors in our country are crippled by enormous malpractice insurance costs, and the government will not pay for their education. Doctors under socialized medicine are happier and more financially secure, as they do not have huge college loans and malpractice insurance costs.
All you are doing here is parroting back the right wing lies I've heard a million times before. Please try to provide more than anecdotes with no verified evidence. Please do not use libertarian sources unless they are backed up with other, reputable sources. Libertarians almost all think the ends justify the means, and lie all the time.
How is he wasting taxpayer time and money? This was after hours.
This wasn't a tirade, but a list of the treasonous crimes of the current administration. Calling a criminal a criminal is not name calling. Your arguments are weak appeals to emotion with no factual basis.
How is the system described in those articles not socialized? Aside from people claiming, "Oh, it isn't socialized because we say it isn't!" That much government intervention and central planning sure seems like socialism to me. If you'd like to admit that the system is a hybrid with a few aspects of a free market, I'll accept that, but it is further from our system than it is from socialized medicine.
So, the best argument you are able to find is, "One country, which had completely socialized medicine, has moved to slightly less socialized medicine too recently to be sure of the outcome."
Wrong, I've traveled extensively and talked to all kinds of people, the vast majority of whom are happy with their socialized health care and appalled at our lack of it.
Did you even read that article? It is speaking about a problem in TWO hospitals. A problem that could happen even more easily in a corner cutting for profit health care facility.
I've been to England, and to Canada, and to Italy, and France, and Greece, and Sweden, and Germany, and all I know is that the average person in those countries gets better health care than we do, is happy about the health care they get, and feel like they are getting a good deal in taxes paid versus services received.
That makes absolutely no sense. You need to lay off the crack.
Evolution isn't a theory. It is a fact. It has been observed. Natural selection is a theory explaining the observed fact of evolution. You are so far off base I don't even know where to start correcting you.
The value of the dollar is not falling against to yuan. The currency of our largest trading partner is not allowed to fluctuate, so things can't even out like they should.
So socialized medicine, which has been proven to work far better than privatized medicine in the entire rest of the developed world, somehow equates to 100% of Americans losing their property rights?
If socialism is so evil, I'm sure you'd like to do away with socialized armed forces, police, fire departments, roads, sewers, electric companies and all the other evil socialist practices America currently has?
Where is Obama against privacy? Where is he against personal, as opposed to corporate property rights? You are simply scare mongering, not presenting a rational position.
As a representative he's done quite well. Is it any surprise, with the media biased against him, that people didn't vote for him in the primaries? He couldn't get into the debates, he couldn't get equal airtime. Plain and simple, people who know him vote for him, but the media has kept everyone outside his home state from ever getting the chance to know him.

Reread this, and I phrased it poorly. The preponderance of evidence points against AGW being wrong.

Riiiiight. I'm sorry, but Bush and his cadre of smash and grab bandits are all criminals guilty of treason. It's not name calling if it's true.
Your 'wasting power' arguments are laughable. You ever been there? It's never empty.
I'm a fanboy? People who still defend Bushco are more than fanboys, they are full blown fanatics.
