Bat-shit crazy ideas like the government should not be able to:
Be involved in every last fucking detail of our lives Print money like it's cheap Las Vegas sex ad paper. Spend money like it's toilet paper. Use the IRS as a political weapon. Fund Terrorists, especially when they say explicitly that they hate you and will come after you. Tax you to breath (exhale). Ignore their Constitutional requirement to pass a budget.
I think your basic argument comes up all the time when people discuss alternatives to capitalism...that the other ones just haven't been done right yet. But every time they are tried, people die in the millions.
Dems propose some outrageous spending program. Republicans oppose. Dems call for compromise and idiot Republicans agree to part of the outrageous program.
Result is there is a new program where there was none before.
Then, a year later Dems call for increased spending ( above the already scheduled increase due to Baseline Budgeting). Republicans opposed. Dems call them cold hearted and baby killers. Republicans get hurt feelings and agree to a small increase.
Result, program cots rise above inflation costs and the basis for next years spending increases yet again.
I seem to recall that the Multiverse theory or something like that was abandoned as the number of dimensions required to make it work kept increasing every time they patched it to account for some deficiency.
Are you serious? The administration is there to make that decision for the kids. Yes, kids in schools have these decisions made for them. That's why they are in school.
You are free to run for the school board or attend the meetings and make your objections known. You can start an information campaign in the community. You can try to get the School Board members recalled. And who do you think creates the curriculum? Former and current educational professionals.
You have to give up this knee jerk, "business is bad' bullshit.
Copying the movie or tune is the same as stealing the book.
Standing the bookstore and reading the book is a pretty classless thing to do, but it's not stealing. Listening to a tune on the radio is actually part of the marketing plan as they believe you will want to buy it for yourself. Same with watching a movie. You can take it with you in your head, but you can't show it to someone else.
I will never understand that thinking that says someone who expends time, money and effort in creating something is not entitled to control that something and to try to earn a profit from it.
I regularly get email that is clearly addressed to someone else. The addresses are similar like RSmith and R.Smith. I mentioned it to Google several years ago and they dismissed it. Sometime "smart" people can be real dicks.

If we could just get the other half of Americans to actually pay federal income tax instead of getting money back (as in refundable credits).
t's the ones with the bat-shit crazy ideas
Yeah!

Crazy shit like that.
Yeah...we should listing to fucking assholes like you who have no problem running up trillions in debt.
Cocksucker like you are pretty much the reason we are where we are. But you keep agitating for free shit.
I bet you think you are entitled to download music for free.
Funny, seems lots of people now can't choose their Dr.
And yeah, even Godwin would disagree with you on the millions dead. National Socialists German Workers Party.
My daughter badly injured her knee. We had an MRI that afternoon. Paid cash, $500. Easy.
In the UK, we would still be waiting. Maybe YOU think a healthcare system that doesn't get to you unless you are near death is what we need, I don't.
Yet, it is.
I think your basic argument comes up all the time when people discuss alternatives to capitalism...that the other ones just haven't been done right yet. But every time they are tried, people die in the millions.
UK waiting time for surgery, up to 18 weeks unless they decide "it is clinically appropriate that you wait longer. "
UK waiting time for MRI or other tests, 13 weeks.
Yay socialized medicine!
Here's how it works.
Dems propose some outrageous spending program. Republicans oppose. Dems call for compromise and idiot Republicans agree to part of the outrageous program.

This is how we get 17 trillion dollars in debt.
...since I'll be subsidizing their start up costs.
Cry me a river.
People working for private companies go through this all the time. Why should government works be "special"?
Yep.
They should make every agency make a case for bringing people back...and re-interview them all.
Just curious, will you be giving up your company health plan and signing up for Obamacare?
All you can do is go by what's in the summary. If he doesn't want to get hammered, put in all the relevant facts.
Well, it IS Illinois, perhaps the most fucked state in the union.
Amen. How pathetic. Where is the 4 year old? Day Care?
(insert anything here) caused by (any activity) by/of (any company that's not the Sierra Club or Greenpeace)
Works every time!
You think you are being sarcastic, but that view is widely held here judging from past discussions.
For all but a few people, watching or hearing is a far cry from possession. Maybe for the Rain Man.
I support people not stealing shit.
If what you describe in SA is legal, so be it; I have no problem then. But here, it's not. If I write a tune and self publish, don't fucking steal it.
And the industry issues you point out are between the musicians and the industry. You stealing stuff doesn't do anything to help.

Bad analogy.

Boggles the mind.
Let me know when I can buy them at Home Depot.
