    Issue 3 annoyed me for too long until I finally looked for a solution

    In other words, the law forces you to pay like $5000 out of your salary to insure against sickness and your annoying co-worker's kid's babysitter's sickness

    Yes, illegal possession of a guns, especially by a felon is punished severely in the US. Hard to do business or stay healthy without the "legal" backing of a gun though. Not sure how the English do it, perhaps the criminal organizations are more corporate? Perhaps living in a welfare state means that there is just less ambition, and if a dealer is pushed out of a territory he back to the "council estate" and watches football instead fighting for success?

    What's the point of living if you aren't free? I guarantee you will be completely safe from accidents and violence in a solitary confinement cell in San Quentin if that's the kind of life you'd prefer. Easiest way to get there is to shoot someone dead.

  5. Re:Generation Gap? on A Brain-Based Explanation For Why Old People Get Scammed · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Getting married is about the clearest consent to sex that is possible. A woman could always report being assaulted by her husband. "Rape without force" in the context of marriage is the kind of extreme legal perversion that happens when lesbians write laws.

  6. Re:Islamic extremist values on Iran Suspends Programmer's Death Sentence · · Score: 1

    It's a matter of environmental sensitization. In daily life breasts are concealed and men are strongly discouraged to glance at the concealed ones. So a revealed breast is a strong stimulus, even if the context is not erotic. Kind of like how an ankle used to be hot when women wore long dresses. Though, still, feeling lust for you breast-feeding wife is a weird thing to call a "perversion".

    So you object that they didn't also sexually humiliate her? More efficient executions, like Nazi gas showers or Chinese execution vans, are horrifying in a different way.

    The private sector already has surplus labor. And considering the superfluous positions in the public sector, not being able to fill most of them will be a benefit. That said, there should be a balance so that government workers are neither getting survival wages, nor retiring as multimillionaires with huge pensions.

    More like the paper lobby. John Kerry has so few accomplishments that the other Congressmen just don't have the heart to take this from him.

    And while, yes, there are occasions that the government snoops on people maliciously and illegally, it remains the case, today, that the primary reason why the government snoops on people is, well, because they're enforcing laws. Joe Sheriff doesn't care that much about the fact you voted for Obama or believe Bradly Manning is being treated unfairly, but he sure as hell cares about people sending each other child pornography, or orders for illegal drugs, or even getting copyrighted movies without the permission of the copyright holders and not paying for them, or whatever.

    Right, Big Brother watches because He loves us. We have nothing to hide so we don't mind: he needs to watch to make sure he doesn't need to watch. It's all a necessary measure because victimless crimes have no detectable effect, and the effects on the victims of such crimes are massive.

    Assembling thousands of identical servings or performing thousands of haircuts to certain specifications seem like great jobs for robots. And it took a plumber 3 calls to repair a problematic faucet in my bathtub, a hugely inefficient process, so clearly a standard robot-swappable module should be developed. Certainly if work ethic is what matters, robot is your man!

  15. Re:Not so on Apple Axes Head of Mapping Team · · Score: 1, Troll

    That's what we call anachronistic thinking. In at time when there was no penitentiary system the guilty either had to pay with money or blood. In a time women women couldn't support themselves through labor, they could only have dependent status. Today you go to jail for not supporting a child born of your adulterous wife and her lover; to say that executing the actual guilty party is some enormity of injustice is proof that moral and logical conviction have degenerated since biblical times. The wisdom of the Bible foresaw this too: Apocalypse.

    Buying something and then turning around and selling it for 200% more is sociopathic in my opinion. Amazon's pricing is philanthropic, and customer service is twice as good as the lazy hustlers running local businesses. And how many of these businesses are just money laundering fronts for meth labs?

  17. Re:Unfortunately .... on The Internet Has Transformed Modern Divorce · · Score: 1

    The woman is the one with final say about reproduction and she is the one who pretty much always is getting paid for her irresponsibility. And there is no guarantee that the kids are even getting fed. So your logic makes no sense. You don't care about kids, could give a shit about responsibility, love crushing human skulls beneath your boots: what you really believe is women deserve it all.

    White men only got the vote around 1820. Hundreds of thousands of boys died fighting for their country without ever having been allowed to vote. True, we have children voting nowadays, who go into the booth imitatively like toddlers who pretend to mow the lawn or serve tea.

    How about the "equivalent" of cutting off our daughters' labia? Not even totally, but just enough to make them look "cleaner". I guess the clitoral hood is a better equivalent, and I'm sure we could come up with a rationalization.

  22. Re:Fail. on Saudi Arabia Implements Electronic Tracking System For Women · · Score: 1

    As a non-feminist you might want to take a look at your own status in your own country: when your wife takes your kids to live with another man, if you miss even one payment to them you won't be issued a passport. You can also have your driving license revoked. Someone holds the power in the family, and if it's not the male worker like in Saudi Arabia, it's the female taker like in the US
