Greenland was a lot warmer when the Vikings first got there. Otherwise its medieval settlers would have said "Yeah, oops, never mind," and turned right back around.
Don't get me wrong, I love Iceland, but I believe that the world's oldest democracy is San Marino, which has been a republic since its founding in A.D. 301.
Read The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. You may not end up wanting to do everything he suggests, but at least it will help you break that mindset where you think working for other people is the only option in life.
Nah, it's not like they're not also keenly concerned with "Who are you?" Either way, though, it would be nice if they'd get the hell out of our galaxy.

Well, Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine are technically also still border states, but by the time Stephen Harper is done maybe that won't be the case anymore. (And besides, I'll admit that I'm missing your point on purpose.)
At least admitting that people want to do well for themselves is honest. That the other political isms claim not to bebased on self-interest merely gives a fig leaf of respectability to those who want to rule over others. There's nothing wrong with altruism, but it's naive in the extreme to look for it among those who are attracted to political power.
There's no reason to be so hostile. I'm not saying that I have some special plan to bring about global capitalism, I'm simply pointing out that when people say this system is it that they're confusing it for something else. It's not really different from those people who mistakenly say Barack Obama is a socialist. He isn't — for example his health care plan isn't socialist, it's decidedly corporatist. If it were socialist it would be a proposal to make U.S. healthcare like the UK system.
This is true. Too many people on all sides of the ideological map don't understand there's a gigantic difference between capitalism and corporatism. In one, you actually have free markets, and inefficient businesses actually lose money and go under. But in the corporatist system we have, executives of giant corporations (which rely on limited liability that couldn't even exist in a real free market) cozy up to policy makers for mutual advantage. They're as different from each other as either is from socialism.
Copyright infringement yes, plagiarism, no. Plagiarism is the use of what someone else has written without crediting them. This site didn't do that. Similarly, one can plagiarize from work that's in the public domain.
Wow, so what movies do you think didn't suck at all? I was perfectly happy with the Matrix, but maybe I just have an unusually low entertainment threshold or something.

That's true, but the land that they settled used to be more productive and cover more territory.

As was Kim Possible?
The dude's name is "Kim Dotcom" and you're focused on the "Kim" part?

Looks like I ineptly responded in the wrong place. My bad.

Well, at least that would be better than "Gimp".

Weak arm, huh?

It's not that the "No True Scotsman" fallacy doesn't exist; it does. But sometimes it turns out it really was an Englishman.

I won't argue that he's not a douche. But even that is not plagiarism, which is the false claim specifically of authorship, not of rights.

No, I checked it, it works. Must be a problem on your end.
This happens often enough that there's a name for it: policy laundering.
"And" should never be used to start a sentence?
I was saying I was perfectly happy with the first one.
"I want... ROOM SERVICE!!!"
No... just no. A thousand times no.
