But even then $100 seems high, is that the average in America?
For a heavy plan in the states or Canada, yes
What is a "heavy plan"?
I pay 30EUR for unlimited calls & SMS in France, unlimited alls to European land lines and unlimited calls to the US. 6Gb data at 3G speeds, unlimited data at EDGE speeds.
Yeah, and now the definition of feminism is they want all the perks of being a man without the responsibility.
See: maternity leave, men in combat arms roles, lack of registration for the draft, diminished physical standards on anything in which they have to compete with men to 'level the field', etc.
Men get to bitch about women getting maternity leave the day men start having babies.
My daughter trod on her Samsung NF310, breaking the LCD.
I bought a new LCD on Ebay and replaced it myself.
Pretty easy, instructions on YouTube.
She has the crappy Samsung 'cos she spilled champagne on her Macbook Air. The Air decided it would only work in caps, but it was usable with a USB keyboard. Like an idiot I took it to the Geniuses to fix. Now it doesn't boot and Apple want more tnan the purchase price to fix it.
So, my experience is that if it isn't Apple, you can fix it.
(Ok, not a fair comparison I know, but who wants to be fair to Apple?)
This was to be something concrete to show what great things progressive government is capable of.
Yout have a very funny idea of what "progressive government" is. The ACA is a scheme that even Count Otto von Bismark would have found too conservative.
But it will never happen. Because (looks up the current thing we're supposed to hate) because socialisim!
Well spotted:
The youth wing of the Social Democratic Party collected the 100,000 signatures necessary to turn the measure, known as the 1:12 initiative, into a national referendum.
My genitals were mutilated and I suffered all that physical pain that forced me to effectively chose impotence as the solution so that now I'm protected from AIDS/GRID
The bad news is - no, you are not protected from AIDS.
The backlash against Debian isn't that it's too mainstream. It's that they're making decisions that compromise privacy (Amazon search integrated into desktop search by default) and usability (Unity).
I think you may have may have had a little brain fart there.

And since when is "combat arms roles" a perk?

You claimed:
In Venezuela you need to be in the right party, [...] to make enough dough.
Or maybe I misunderstood your point?
Socialism is the government or society seizing or exercising ownership rights over the means of production.
Therefore in a fully socialist economy government spending is 100% of GDP.
. But government should be obligated to uphold the contract when possible.
And it is obviously impossible to uphold contracts that are illegal.
They will just stop working or never become CEOs.. or start their own companies instead and get paid in equity
And this would be a bad thing how?
(And, by the way, if the incompetent losers who are the CEOs of most companies tried to start their own companies they'd soon fall on their faces. )
No. The american dream is to become wealthy. It is not dependent upon someone else becoming poor. The economy is not a zero sum game.
Untrue.
If there are no poor there are no rich.
A "wealthy" person is someone who has more than others.
In Venezuela you need to be in the right party, in the US you need to be in the right circles to make enough dough
So, you know fuck all about Venezuela, why are you writing about it?
Hint: The rich in Venezuela don't vote for the Chavistas.
Venezuela, on the other hand, sits with the Socialist policy gauge pointing nearly to Purely socialist
Government spending as % of GDP:
Venezuela: 34.0
USA: 38.9
Norway: 44.6
Fuck off and die, Miss Manners.

Well, better get to work on Nanites with laserbeams attached to their heads, bacteria can't evolve to be resistant to that =]
Never bet against evolution, it's almost as dumb as betting against thermodynamics.

Will you get angry with me if I call this arsehole a "denier"?

The bad news is - no, you are not protected from AIDS.
You are just less likely to catch it voluntarily.

You missed "an gramatical".
If we keep going we'll eventually get it right :-)
Nokia was never huge on Linux development, they had the n900, and that was about it.
N710, N800, N900, N9.
Fuck, these days they probably aren't even 50%
