They don't only write for that reason. Though its normal for any person to want to display something that they do to show others what the are worth, they also write articles because its their job. They need to attract grant money and contract money for research as well as for the University they are employed by. Their job first and foremost is to get money for students and research. Its not in their interest to "lord over" you with their "intellectual prowess" any more than a plumber wishes to "belittle" you with his "plumb-ery".
There are people that don't care as much about graphics. I am one of them. That doesn't mean I don't like better graphics, it just means its not as important. For example, I play alot of Mount and Blade : Warband online simply because it has awesome gameplay. Its a dated game graphically.
Well, that court case sort of hamstrings the entire anti-gun movement since it sets a precedent that its not the duty of the police to protect us. Im not sure how we are supposed to protect our life and property if we can't arm ourselves responsibly.
You realize there are chocolate places in the US that sell European and other gourmet chocolates (even making their own from cocoa) including traditional European drinking chocolate? You must get the dregs of American society over there. http://www.theoriginalchocolatebar.com/
In Other News : Gubernatorial candidate Eugene "Gino" DiSimone proposed a new "get out of jail free" card for those charged with being intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle. For 200 dollars, the police will "fail" to perform a field sobriety test and will accidentally "misplace" their breathalyzer. Mr. DiSimone is quoted as saying "Police men and women will no longer have to worry about their pensions or crappy paychecks every again, now they will have a direct source of income from those that are in a hurry to get home after a hard period of drinking".
Its painfully slow to drive in Montana less than or equal to 75 at times. Down here in Houston people typically ignore the 65 speed limit on the interstates. I don't disagree with the fact that speed limits should be reevaluated. My remark was more of a joke.
If the rate of accidents stay the same, and the fatality percentage goes up. How does that not make it worse? Not saying I disagree with what they are doing, just making a facetious comment.
Ive driven on Montana highways at that speed. I got pulled over and fined big time. Thing is, its unsafe in the areas Ive done it. I suppose if Nevada is pretty flat and you can see a long ways then there is no problem.
You have been watching too much neo-con propaganda. Its much easier to get richer when you are already rich. All you have to do is pay someone smart to handle your money for you. You don't even have to pay them as well as you pay yourself. Are you totally unfamiliar with Aristocracy? Back in the 1950's the middle class used their money just fine. They could buy homes with savings, they could buy a high quality American made car every few years without financing, etc. The reason? There were high paying jobs here in the United States and the tax rate on the wealthiest 1 percent of the people was close to 90 percent. The jobs made it so the average person could live a very high standard of living, and the taxes funded roads, dams, fuck just about everything. Its no mistake our infrastructure is turning to dust. The poor and middle class have no money, and the rich don't get taxed as much anymore on theirs. Oddly enough, history is on my side here so why don't you go peddle your Plutocratic crap elsewhere.
Being in debt is not the same as wealth creation. A system primarily based on credit will eventually fail with something similar to what is occurring right now in our economy. When a wealthy person's money is lent out, they still have a right to the exact same amount plus interest from the bank. The net result is that they retain their wealth, but others essentially owe them more money through the banks. Back in the 50's and 60's people could buy houses with savings. Why can't we do that now? Because there is not enough money to go around. The 10 percent wealthiest individuals in the states have 70 percent of the money. This is in stark contrast to post 1950's with it being literally the reverse situation. Jobs are moving overseas to help the profits of US companies for US consumed products. Where do the US citizens get money to buy these products when the jobs all are going away? They go into debt. My personal opinion is they need to reinstitute a much harsher tax rate on those making over 1 million a year. People say, "yeah well then people will just move their businesses overseas". I counter, use import taxes on foreign held companies to penalize that. Im not sure if my solution is the best, and Im sure there may be others that would work equally as well, but its obvious there is a major problem with wealth disparity in this country, and its killing it.
And all the money has been captured by the wealthy, never to be distributed again until they either start spending most of it or it gets re-captured by higher taxes and spent on public projects like our crappy infrastructure.
Generally, people that exclusively go for their MBA from a business degree will in fact be exactly as you say, with few exceptions. You won't get anything out of an MBA unless you come from a background that can appreciate what they teach you. My close friend has his MBA from a Finance focus, and hes pretty smart. He is the first to admit how much of a joke 90 percent of the people taking the degree were. Maybe hes just an asshole though;) .
I wasn't sure what the consequence was, but my point was its in the interest of a company like Visa to obey the law if they want to stay in business long term.
Uhh. Visa is trying to obey the law. If they don't then they will probably get fined. If they don't pay it then they will have the Sheriff or Feds seizing stuff from them.

What about Postal? I still love that game.

You heathens do not understand that any attempt at finding the origin of life is a direct insult to God! The devil made transition elements!
Or why not make prostitution legal. Oh, wait...

Next thing you know we can pay 1000 bucks to assault someone. ;)

Yep. Keep in mind this does not only apply to highways in the desert.
No. The lower 90 percent had 70 percent of the money.
Ive driven on Montana highways at that speed. I got pulled over and fined big time. Thing is, its unsafe in the areas Ive done it. I suppose if Nevada is pretty flat and you can see a long ways then there is no problem.
I have no doubt this will make them money, but it will also make them look much worse on traffic accident statistics vs. other states.

Not among the rich. They pretty much control the money flow through finance from their castles across the US.
And all the money has been captured by the wealthy, never to be distributed again until they either start spending most of it or it gets re-captured by higher taxes and spent on public projects like our crappy infrastructure.

Once videos came out I remember waiting longer than that.
