    Just carry a ballpeen hammer around with you. Before inserting your card, take a couple of good hard swipes with the hammer. Skimmers aren't mounted solidly, and the rest of the machine is pretty much unbreakable.

    The find belongs to the Crown.

    I believe that the division of the hoard between the crown, the finder, and the land owner depends on whether the find was grave goods or a stash, whether the land owner gave permission to search, and a host of other things. As I understand it, UK law is still a confusing patchwork of barely compatible local, regional, and national laws of various historic origins.

    It doesn't imply any love for corporations, no, but sans government keeping them in check, do you honestly think the most powerful entities in the world would simply cease to exist? Getting rid of government wouldn't curb the power of corporations. No government, no corporate charter, but so what? What would that do? "Oh no, we don't have a charter from a non existent government, which, being non existent, isn't about to come shut us down!" If you are talking about a group of people getting together and saying to powerful groups, "You can't do that," we have a word for that. It's called "government."

    How sad. You've lost, you know. Everyone here, and I mean everyone, now thinks you are a complete moron, and an ass to boot. How's that feel, knowing you've alienated so many people, and proven nothing, except what a dick you are? People's opinion of you obviously matters, you seem to need people to agree with you.

    You keep spinning desperately. Who are you trying to convince? No one sides with you. You are all alone, desperately trying to prove your misguided ideas are correct. All alone, with no support, and no agreement. All you have proven is that you are a pedantic supercilious ass.

    You don't understand English, and are too stubborn to take the corrections that god damn near everyone has been giving you on the matter. No one agrees with you. Not. one. Single. Person.

    That makes you the idiot.

    Again, ubiquity talks about existence, whether something currently exists in all places. Death only exists where life exists.

    Now shut up and think about what your intellectual superiors are trying to tell you.

    I never said socialism was a Christian philosophy. I said that Christianity was a socialist religion. Big difference. This is because it teaches that we should take care of the poor and less fortunate, and that we are our brother's keeper. Capitalism, for instance, doesn't teach Christianity either.

    Socialism is not the government dictating that everyone be their brother's keeper. It is a group of individuals deciding to live that way, and not to let people who don't live that way live with them. Do you see? You are free not to live with socialists, but socialists do not want to live with people who do not help others.

    Government is not a giant monster. It is nothing more than individuals, banding together to uphold their ideals and protect each other.

    de Tocqueville was mistaken about socialism, firstly, because he compares it against democracy while the two are not mutually exclusive. All real socialist societies are democracies. Second, because the goal of socialism is true liberty: the freedom to pursue one's own goals without having to submit to a master to make a living. If one's life is under duress, by threat of force or economic coercion, one can not be free. In capitalism, everyone's life is under duress. Only the owners of property have the means to support themselves, everyone else is a slave to those owners. If you want to eat, you do what the man says.

    Listen to what people are telling you. People on this site tend to be smarter than average. They are not, in general, stupid. You have half a dozen people telling you your interpretation is wrong. That is because you are wrong. They are not stupid or ignorant. You are using words in ways that are non standard. And being a total dick in the process. Death does not last forever. Death is an instantaneous transition from living to non living. Life and death are both ubiquitous. But there is more life than death. People do not define death the way you seem to, and when it comes to language, if you are using it differently than the people you are trying to communicate with, the problem is yours.

    Death does not remain constant. Death is just a transition from living to not living. Is sleep constant? Is eating constant? No, they are actions that occur. You keep asserting things that are unprovable philosophical semantic bullshit, and calling people idiots when they disagree with you, which makes you a self centered pedantic asshole.

    Currently in existence? Death doesn't "exist," it happens. To living things. You don't get to count all the years something is not alive and add that to the 'dead' column. We're talking about life versus death. Death is not the absence of life, it is the cessation of life. Death can only be more ubiquitous than life if you adopt strange metrics which, quite obviously, no one here agrees with you on. I won't call you an idiot because this is all semantics and speculation, and there is no definitive answer. I will just call you a fucking prick instead.
