    Smith actually new we would need regulation. What people quote from him was about a economic based society that could only exist inside the head of an economic philosopher, and he knew that.

    So don't blame Smith, blame the jack asses that either don't read him, or don't understand them.

    These people cherry pick his quotes out of context... just like they do with the bible..hmm I see a pattern.

    That's bullshit. Public education in the US used to be the best in the world, right up to about 1969, when all the taxes got slashed. It took a decade to start to see the results, and here we are.,

    So you just repeat what the media tells you? well done.

    in 1969, the average spending was $4,221 per student, per year.
    the $27,176.91 in today's dollars. We spend about 40% of that.

    Spending on kids has gone down.

    Why? becasue the tax decrease since then. Look at all the data, the only reason not to go back to 1968 tax rates(adj. for inflation) is pure and simple greed for the top 1%.

    teachers aren't the problem, and the goals and achievement I am talking about are about improving the school and teaching process. Objective measurement about the tools, use and progress. Not replace the manager and everything will be fine.

    You cutting some of fin traffic is more likely to get someone killed; therefor you should be charged with murder.

    worse off, actually. There is the cost of jail, then there is the cost of not having someone in society, then you are creating someone who is likely to be a criminal after they get out, then you have the issue where you are looked at as uncivilized and stupid by the rest of the world, then there is another tools for the police state.

    It's far, far better for society to correct the behavior and have a tax paying member of society.

    You are a short sighted bully, who is clueless about society and long term benefits. Also, you should take some economics course so maybe you might be able to understand the world is far larger and moire complex then you seem to think.

    No one who isn't expect the police to show up is going to shoot the police. Stop being so fucking stupid, you can be better then that.

    Who was killed? Why would a response team just start killing people who weren't an immediate threat? If people are killed ebcause of a called in swatting, then there needs to be some really hard looks at the response team.

    How about we do whats best for society in the long term? There are other punishments besides jail.

    To me, too be proficient you need to answer how many level of redirection can it use well? How is it manipulating memory, knowing where the flaws are. It simply snt possible to determine that with any accuracy in a day. And this isn't even getting into how it deals with threading, mulit-cores, multi-processors, network latency and so on.

    In order to he what I would call 'very skilled' you would be able to use the language to write a compiler. Preferable a better one then the in house one.
