Free Market COULD sort this out. This is a matter of courts. IF you can prove the harm, and you should be able to, then we can use the courts to sue the corporations and their boards and CxOs for liablity, toss them in to Pound me in the ass prison, and confiscate their wealth, and finally, after all is done, give the shareholders absolutely nothing by revoking the corporate charter (including subsidiaries). THIS would create a free market result that things that are harmful are not done, because it isn't profitable. As it is right now, there is no responsibility for malfeasance anywhere in the Corporate / Government complex.
We don't need more "laws" we need people willing to execute the existing laws effectively. But it is more profitable for government to allow for this crap, and that is why the government doesn't do its job. This is what running deficits year after year provide, a need for more and more taxes to cover up the fact that government isn't doing the one job it is supposed to do.
AND people like yourself think more laws will solve the problem. It won't solve anything, but rather creates more problems to solve. How convenient.
Mines are a tool. Improper use of tools is human problem, not the tool's problem. Mines have kept our people safe while at the same time cause all sorts of problem for others. I get the point, but the reality is, some tools are very dangerous in the wrong hands, are perfectly safe in the right hands. Yet you blame the tool, rather than those that wield them. I find that illogical.
Obviously you didn't actually READ what I wrote. You aren't anti gun, you're anti citizens having guns. You are all for government having them. It isn't a matter what purpose guns serve, it is blanket statement that you don't like guns, except the guns in the hands of tyrant governments.
And pointing to Europe is very interesting, as Russia is invading Ukraine. I wonder how Russia would fare if Ukrainians had guns. Yeah, guns in citizen's hands isn't about gun saftey or murder, it is about letting government run roughshod over citizen's rights without the citizens having a recourse.
But of course, you're okay with governments having guns and lots of them. Gun Safe laws aren't the problem, people who don't understand that the last stand against tyranny is a well armed populace. Something Ukraine is suffering right now.
When Feinstein was okay with NSA spying on Americans we were fucked. Now that that chicken came home and roosted upon her doorstep, she is suddenly "offended". Where was that outrage when it didn't affect her. She is a hypocrite of the highest order. ANYONE who supports her at this point is the problem, regardless of how she votes on every other issue.
You don't hate guns. You hate the people who own guns. Hating guns is illogical as hating chairs or hats or the air you breathe. They are inanimate objects and if you "hate" them, then you're clearly unable to deal with reality.
That being said, you don't hate guns, you hate "we the people" having guns. As a liberal, forcing people to join your collective under threat of government guns is what you depend upon. Your support of Government owning guns, is very likely. You likely support army, police and other national security people owning and bearing guns, even to protect the President (Republican OR Democrat) and high ranking officials like Feinstein, Reid and so on.
I have YET to meet a "gun hating democrat" that wants to disarm EVERYONE (including the government). Therefore, you don't hate guns. You hate average people having guns. And that speaks higher volumes about your hypocrisy than anything else.
Slide to unlock has a physical analog, I use all the time on gates and doors. Slide to unlock/lock is OBVIOUS because it is a logical extension of a physical object. IT would be like patenting "Push to open" or flick up to turn on, flick down to turn off (light switch) or any number of common tasks we do in the physical world.
The problem is, people get STUPID when they see "on a computer". It is like they can't function without being hand held the whole time the moment they sit in front of one. I can't tell you how many times "my monitor isn't working" is simply they never pressed the power button. GAHHHHHHHH
"GB ethernet is probably more than you will ever need. "
I've heard this line before. On 10MB, 100MB, and now 1000MB connections. Yeah, we'll be filling int 10GB networks soon enough. If you build it, they will fill it.
While it is "technically" possible, chances are, you (yes you) cannot. Congestion, distance from Cell Tower, slow network/choke points etc.
I'm a Network administrator and we run (currently) a 5000 node network across a Gig link, and only average something like 25% network saturation, during PEAK hours. While we have spike traffic that hits the max bandwidth, they are very very temporary. Chances are, you'll never hit a server capable of filling your gig link.
The closest thing I've seen filling the link is a misconfigured Torrent Server. And it was not even close to filling the whole link.
American Journalism sucks because rather than being unbiased, they have an agenda to promote. This is why nation wide targeting of certain groups by the IRS, or NSA spying on Americans is less important than a lane closure on a NJ bridge.
And why is Lois Learner talking to DOJ investigators (not taking the 5th) while taking the 5th in front of congress.
This is basically the same thing that we saw the other day, when the judge said that Upskirt videos were not against the law. The problem is, there is no shame left in the world, because that is harmful to little sensitive minds.
So, you admit that taxes discourage things. So, by your own admission, taxing Income discourages earning income. And you favor that over people / corporations in foreign lands? why?
My proposal has no effect on anything other than money leaving a country in foreign trade, and that is a good thing, as it encourages investment at home vs abroad, jobs and industry at home vs abroad.
I've said, and will continue to say that we should not be imposing Taxes on things that we should be encouraging, like income. We should be taxing the things we want to curtail. Taxing income is downright EVIL, as it is a disincentive to actually working, which is only overcome by most people's need to better their lives.
How about instead of taxing income, you tax money being transferred out of state/country?
Of course you're right. This is one of the reasons I drum the "all taxes are regressive". The rich can and will avoid as much tax liability, often quite legally (like this), while the poor and middle class cannot, because they do not have the resources. If you could spend 100 to save 1000 in taxes, wouldn't you?
There is a fix for this, a transfer tax, rather than an income tax. Tax money leaving your country. The easiest avoidance of these taxes is to keep the money in country, helping the country's economy. If money NEEDS to leave, then it provides an incentive to bring jobs home and use the resources of your own country.
You are only PARTIALLY correct. The "Public Sector Services" part is designed to enslave voters to a single party so that any "cuts" (by cuts, we mean slowing growth of programs) becomes a sledgehammer to bang over the head of the other party.
Meanwhile our governments are going into further and further debt, maintaining services that are often overlapping by 10-12 times with other "public services" and there is no will or even intention of ever cutting out the cruft.
And make not mistake, the lining of politician's pockets occurs with "Big Government Contracts" that aren't "privatization", these are no-bid contracts, public works projects that provide "bridges to nowhere".
IF all you see is the otherside being the problem, you're part of the problem yourself. Until we get past (D) good, (R) bad (or visa versa) there will be no solution to the ongoing nightmare called "government".
The problem with Microsoft and Nokia, is that nobody really wants a Microsoft Phone, and Nokia was driven into the trash heap by going the Microsoft Route exclusively (among other notable awful choices).
Microsoft has been a "Windows Company" for so long, they don't know how to do anything else besides "Windows". And now, with the dawning of Google Apps and Libre/Open Office, and ChromeOS / Android / iOS as choices to compete, there is a huge problem for Microsoft Windows... it isn't even a good choice any more, it is just another choice. Microsoft is stuck, being a Windows Company.
Anything they do now, is too little, too late. They needed to change 10 years ago (yes, 2004) when the tide started to change. I saw it then, and knew the end was near. Microsoft has no new products, no new vision. It is dead.
To enforce this requires using a locking mechanism works in both directions,
No it doesn't. You're inferring something I didn't imply. Swipe to leave means that the swipe automatically opens the door. A push bar could be used to open in an emergency, which sounds/sets off the Emergency Alarms for the building. It doesn't require the door being locked on the inside at all.
WHY must people make it more difficult than it really needs?

No. He is. They are just his kind of clowns, so they don't look funny to him. That is the only difference.
traditionally people have not taken their mines with them when they moved on
This is your sole legitimate objection. The problem still isn't the mines, it is the people.
Actually, that made perfect sense. AND I thought it was funny. I have mod points, but wanted to let you know beyond +1 Funny or +1 Insightful
Thanks
But it is much more convenient to blame Jenny than MMR vaccine having a lifespan!
