This falls into the "CREATED BY A SCHOOLTEACHER" category of bullshit claims. We are supposed to treat the product differently because of who created it, instead of analyzing it on its own merits.
I've been witness to numerous "negative miracles", where the divine hand of our Lord decides to inflict his wrath upon some unworthy subject. It often does result in a "God Damnit!", so your hypothesis seems reasonable.
Shouldnt the "God Damnit" precede the harmful act?
Also, once, I was chastized by a Christian for saying "God Damnit" when I don't believe in god. My excuse was that it was such a good "damn" curse. I don't believe in religion, but I do like their curse words.
Well what the heck does that mean? Don't trust the Nigerian prince that claims to have 2 billions dollars? Don't trust that popup advertisement that claims your computer is infected with a virus?
Don't trust the internet is the most important rule of the internet.
Considering how much of a flop Occupy was... I expect that is the exact reason the bankers and politicians see little to fear in organized groups of students.
Without political power, the students and Occupy are destined to fail.
The buyers of these auctions probably are exchanges. The exchanges themselves do not want them all dumped into the market at once to prevent the prices from crashing.
I would say this arrangement benefits the buyers, exchanges and the government at once. It has the added benefit of appearing to not trying to manipulate coin prices too much.
The nice thing (for politicians and the bankers that own them) is that students have no political power whatsoever. So they can be ignored and told to turn around and take it up the ass.
I am sorry, how is it that your cities are entitled to this money? Aside from bribing politicians and ensuring fat paychecks for taxi companies, how does it bring any benefit to the people using public transportation?
So you are either shilling for taxi companies or politicians. Either way you failed to explain why this is a problem.
The only thing the Mayors are worried about is the fact that it is a tax revenue stream for them. Regulatory capture allows taxi companies to charge extortionary fees, which are payed in taxes and "campaign gifts" to local politicians.
While I am not against Uber and Uber drivers paying their fair share of local taxes, all these local chieftons are worried about is their paycheck.

Former resident? Does that mean you are already part of the undead hordes?

Have to been to the malls lately? No one hangs out there anymore.
Really? In that case, I might consider going to a mall again.
Actually, where I live the malls are intentionally built in the middle of nowhere, to prevent kids from reaching it, presumably.
And we are 20 years away from commercial fusion.
Now that's a crappy job!
No, a sewage treatment plant worker is a crappy job.
We don't put people in jail for their thoughts.
I'm not convinced this is true.
You should have said "I don't think this is true." And then immediately been incarcerated.
Or, in other words, guilty until proven innocent.
Ahh, I see what you mean. The entire order of the thing is revrersed. Makes sense.
Also, God Dam the Johnstown Flood.
Anybody over 40 probably remembers several years of bomb drills, or the Bay of Pigs...
That was in 1961, so... no. And, besides, you are confusing it with the Cuban Missile Crisis, which was in 1962.

It's not even that. The military is getting their budget cut the same as every other government agency. A more accurate statement would be:
"Still, I guess there are budget hawks who need to get re-elected, so something had to give."
Well that is not fair, the military's budget is so colossal that they should be cut at a much higher rate than everything else.

Fuck that.
He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about. Look at the bones!
I agree. I expect that "bigots gonna bigot", they just find it convenient to use their religion as an excuse to do so.

It would be funny if the buyers used them to buy drugs.

Ah but apparently 87.235% of astrologers are so good at making shit up they even manage to fool themselves into believing it's real!
No, I bet that is pretty close to 100% too. There are a lot of stupid people in the world.
Right, only Christian beliefs are protected in 'merica.
If this had been a Muslim or Jewish or any other religion owned company... you can bet your ass the Supreme Court would have ruled against them.
Are you going to trust someone from Uber to drive you home from a club at 2am in the morning?
What kind of normal, reputable, people are awake then?
It is one thing to hitch a ride during the day from A to B, but at night, especially late at night?
The kind that know that a busy time for taxi services is when bars/clubs close?
How does it make Uber different from any other taxi service? They show up when there is demand.

How about the second Thursday of last week?
