    If you believe that Democrats want the rich to pay their fair share, take a look at all the tax raises that Hollywood and Wall Street get from the Democrats.

    [MODERATORS] I am used to being down-modded unfairly because I frequently go against Slashdot group-think. Instead of down-modding me why not actually give readers a chance to come up with an intelligent response instead? Is it because the opposing position is basically indefensible? Or are the supporters of the right so stupid that they cannot string together a few sentences that (a) make sense and (b) support their position?

    Perhaps you should rethink your methods of argument, as your post comes across as quite flamebait, and I would have downmodded you.

    This "study" is from a Libertarian "think tank" (can you say oxymoron?)

    So, because Libertarians have a different political opinion than you, they must all be stupid, is that really the way you want to portray yourself? It is very likely that you aren't a Libertarian because you don't understand the platform, not because the platform is stupid.

    I am sure there are other examples, but I feel like I am losing intelligence arguing with you, so it is not worth it to me.

    The price of college is based (loosely) on how much it costs to educate someone. As the costs of labor increase, wouldn't you expect that professors salaries would go up as well, or would you rather just lock them into a state mandated salary?

    This is not to say though that college is way to expensive, I totally agree there. I have two kids that in a few years will be looking at college, and I will encourage both of them to go to Germany.

  16. Re:meh, keep OS X on your macbook on Could the Best Windows 10 Laptop Be a Mac? · · Score: 1

    Read the comment you originally responded to again. He wasn't comparing Apple to Microsoft. He was comparing Desktop to Laptop. It doesn't matter how powerful Apple's desktops are, desktops are inherently more powerful than laptops. The Mac Pro is more powerful than the Macbook Pro, and always will be (for the same generation). You can't get 32 or 64 GB of ram in a laptop (yet), you can't get 4 hard drives in a laptop (likely ever).

    You came up with the relative power, it was a strawman that wasn't in the original post you replied to. There was no need to respond to the strawman you came up with.

    This is one point s/he made:

    windows is still king of compatibility

    This is the other point:

    For desktops on the other hand, where you might actually need some power

    The point was that desktops are more powerful than laptops, not that Windows is more powerful than Unix. The other point was that Windows is still king of compatibility. Can you refute either of those points? Your response didn't address either of them, and I attempted to point that out to you.

    I know all about what Apple designed, but that has 0 bearing on the comment you replied to.

    As far as the Dell $600 computer, it depends, at different times Dell has come out with $600 computers that run circles around the current at the time Apple models, so just writing them off as POS is silly. Also, why would you compare a $600 Dell instead of a $2000 Dell that would beat the pants off of the $3000 Macbook pro?

    It appears that with smoking around children at least, you are wrong.

    I never said I had no problem with it, I actually quite clearly indicated that smoking, drinking, drugs, whatever IS child abuse. You are the one trying to argue that it isn't, though it has been determined by the state to be so.

    I haven't made a big deal out of forcing anything. I stated that it is murder, and as murder, there are some reasons for it to be acceptable in society, and some conditions which make it less serious, but it isn't any less of killing.

    I absolutely didn't remain silent on the slow poisoning of children, I actually clearly stated the opposite:

    A mother that smokes, drinks, does drugs while knowing she is pregnant is considered to be committing child abuse.

    When there are many people who can't have children who struggle to adopt, abortion should not be happening. Your argument is that the person who gives birth should be saddled with the support of a child, as if the father isn't when the woman decides to have the child against his wishes. There are other ways than abortion, and acting like none of them exist is pretty shady.

    Telling a woman that murder is wrong is intrusion into her personal life?

    Identifying that human brain activity begins at 12 weeks is saying that it is a human life at that point, so killing it should be considered murder. A mother that smokes, drinks, does drugs while knowing she is pregnant is considered to be committing child abuse. I don't know where your obese argument is headed, but I don't see that as causing problems for the child. If you want to try and argue that child abuse is perfectly acceptable, so murder should be perfectly acceptable, perhaps you should rethink your argument?
