Well, if you get your selfish ass society to pay for the sick person's health care, they might be able to afford to keep their "selfish asses" at home.
Oh, that's nice! Force him to take a sick day, possibly unpaid. You gonna pay him? You gonna buy his airline ticket? Sounds like a sick economy that puts people into that box. And people carry germs all the time, even when they show no symptoms. Oh hell! Just quarantine everybody...just to be safe.
Laws only apply to the bottom 90% of the population. That's the way we like it, as noted in the AC's reply. Air traffic rules would probably preclude any "non-official" flights over major events at low altitude. Ramifications would include lost of their toy and probably a fine.
This is so stupid. Why couldn't they have just told MS not to break third party software? And so what if they do anyway? Who says you HAVE to use a windows machine? A better solution would be to revoke some of their copyrights so others could compete more effectively.
Try to take one step outside that 9,826,630 square km you got without official documentation. Let me know what happens. In fact try to move within that space without papers. It's a very big, and probably very comfortable prison cell, but it's still prison. You are 92797. You are not a free man.
...in practice they don't have the money needed for travel.
Yes, only now we put up flags and fences to mark our territory.. Doesn't smell as bad(not that all the dead bodies smell any better). Provides the illusion of civility, but the concept is exactly the same. There was a time when it may have been necessary. But since we can move resources to wherever they are needed now, that's no longer the case, but with millions of years of animal instinct behind it, and appealing to intellect without understanding that, will assure it will be here to stay for some some. A quick glance at 'The Continuum Concept' seems to understand the instinctive nature of our existence. It seems to indicate we are just as natural as nature itself. The trouble may just come from our denial of that. I shall read the rest.
It's not a matter of faith. It's matter of time, and letting nature do its thing. The day is young, and so are we. There's a whole universe out there. The limits are self made.
The analysis is right on. And furthermore, tribalism evolved from the way animals mark their territory. It all followed a perfectly natural path. And it proves that animals and humans are the same thing. The interest is serves is that of domination. A very natural phenomenon, even with inanimate objects. Big stars swallow little stars that get too close. Everything "tries" to get as big as it can. It will accrue as much material as it can until it gets so big and gets hot and blows up.
Guess you gotta pay the tank drivers to point their guns the other way. Look, this isn't going to happen by decree of some dictator any more than anti bias laws can do away with hate. But we have to recognize that the concept of borders is nothing more than animal territorialism. Then maybe the fences will fall by themselves. They are inhuman and inhumane. And considering that we are supposed to know better, it makes us actually worse than animals.
Don't you understand the one way nature of those regs? They don't want a free market at all. They want control, under the guise of "freedom". That "freedom" is for them only, and we get American Idol. You're not getting it. No borders means freedom for everybody to live where they please, not where the authorities grant you permission for somebody else's profit. Right now you are property of the state.
Maybe you don't get it. Without borders how can China and Cuba exist as anything separate from the rest of the world? You think the bums that run those places now would still have any power over anybody else?
Say it brother! Say it loud! I've been getting nowhere with the idea for many years. I wish you better luck than I have. But the mafia will chase you to the ends of the earth to squash it if it looks like it has the remotest chance of taking hold. To me it would a great step towards acting like truly sentient beings, as opposed to the animals we act like now, pissing on trees to mark our territory.

There's no such thing as overkill in security theater. Overacting, maybe...

It might slow down the speed at which it is moving away :-)
Always hope it works, but I'll be really impressed when that energy is converted into actual votes.
How much is twitter making from all this free advertising?

:-) You're absolutely right. Everything they have, we handed to them on a silver platter.
Peace out, dogg
I wonder if they offer cool tech for us regular citizens to watch over the authorities. Kinda doubt it.
so I can download a copy of IE...

They can "debunk" all they want. Statistics are used to evoke emotional response. The more outrageous, the better.
Other countries are INDEPENDENT and the United States has no authority to dictate to them.

Nothing can possibly be unnatural.
I'm very sorry if I let on otherwise. Of that I am in full agreement, along with the rest of your post there.
I'm not the property of the state...

Money?
Tribalism evolved from peeing on bushes?

therefore opaque to radio waves.
"What's the Frequency, Kenneth?"
That's pretty heavy. Don't you think? Besides, isn't there a "density" issue here?
We are transparent to radio waves...
Only the lower frequencies. If we were transparent, X-ray photographs would be blank.
Neat way to find out what they know. Stay away from those surveys kids. Loose lips sink ships.
