    Who enforces the contract?

    Sounds good to me. Hope you don't want to own any stock in those companies, because as an owner you will be liable for its losses.

    The market will magically create competitors out of nothing and the cartel/monopoly will do nothing to prevent it.

    So in that case why did Russia have a leader? Why did their army have a command structure? How did they get into space without desire and ambition. In other words, you don't know what you're talking about.

    When the punishment for the crime is far lower than the profit made from it, crime will be common. I wonder if the free marketeers on here think that limited liability, that outrageous interference in the market, should be done away with.

    Public servants aren't allowed to exercise common sense because if they call it wrong they will be crucified by the media, the public and politicians. That's why everything's so heavy-handed: people are terrified of making a mistake and losing everything.

    In what way do you get to that point? Logic isn't your strong point it seems. Bush is responsible for a great many more civilian deaths than anyone in al Qaeda so by the "kill the murderer without a trial" rules he should be killed by someone from Iraq and you should be cheering that person on.

    In a world where a locked down underpowered touchscreen that you can't upgrade but have to buy a complete new one is the future, the chromebook will probably do really well.

    Yeh he could have handed himself in. He would have been in Gitmo before you could say rendition and to hell with a fair trial. Perhaps that was why he didn't. In any case he could have been tried in absentia where he surely would have been found guilty and an arrest warrant issued. My objection isn't to murderers being killed, it's to the US Government setting aside the laws whenever they feel like it. That sets a very dangerous and worrying precedent and should be opposed.

    We are not better than them if we execute people without trial. We are then exactly the same as them.

    I hope you'll be clapping just as loudly if Bush Jr gets killed for the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi deaths he ordered.

    We're supposed to be better than them. Otherwise you might as well just have a military dictatorship where the General can kill whoever he wants at any time.

  18. Re:Let's get a couple things straight, here. on Drone Kills Top Al Qaeda Figure · · Score: 1

    The amount of people who died on 9/11 pales into insignificance next to the subsequent deaths of equally innocent Afghan and Iraqi civilians. I expect similar applause if Mullah Omar manages to take out Bush or Blair.
