I see you like to occupy stuff, so I put an occupy into your occupy so you can occupy while you occupy.
It just makes sense for a private enterprise to step in and develop a large underground nuclear program and sell subscription services to it, have member states pay for their number of nukes, have reps from each country within the facilities, each armed with their codes and each able to launch up to the number of nukes they paid for.
The sites should be strategically located across the globe, evenly enough so that there wouldn't be a risk of taking out just one site obviously.
Actually you are right. I am for every single person owning a nuclear weapon - would make the world a more honest place or would unmake the world. Our choice.
I never said it was going to be easy. But if you don't have a large stick and the monkeys around you do - you are fucked. And hey, maybe it's just they it should be. The bigger monkeys with bigger sticks fuck the smaller monkeys with no sticks. That's how it is in nature.
No, no hyperbole. I really wish everybody naturally had a nuclear arsenal. Every single person. Mentally ill, everybody. I think it would make the world a more interesting place, a more honest place.
I don't know what they want, I want everybody around me to have a nuclear bomb and myself. I think it would make people a little less likely to yell at each other.
It's being shown time and again that strong countries do not get attacked. All countries need to understand that it is really in their best interest to get nuclear weapons fast. Libya made a huge mistake for example, so did Iraq. I think at some point Iran will have their weapon - good for them.
Good for them. They should get as many as they can possibly put their hands on. You get fucked in the ass if you can't fight back, that's what we really know today, everything else is bullshit.

My position - Oracle and MS are corrupt thieves, who use bribery in day to day activities.
My position is that RMS doesn't understand economics and I have clearly shown it.
Your positions is that RMS has a nasty beard or whatever, while Oracle and Microsoft being respectable businesses (and at least one of them is a convicted monopolistic abuser - proven in court).
Well, at least this time you remembered to check the "post anonymously" box.
I post anonymous because my limit of 10 posts a day is reached. While you, I am sure, are only posting the kinds of messages that are well received by the/crowd, the groupthink shit, mine are generally voted up and down many times over and over and over, and generally those who don't like the message have more moderation points, however this is done, and thus I can either post as an AC or I can post from my second account.
Are you satisfied with the explanation, enterprise boy?
Still, your zealotry still makes you a freetard... you can go back to sucking RMS's...um... cheesy toes or something. The rest of us will continue to live in the real world.
As to accusing me on 'sucking RMS' whatever, why don't you go fuck yourself.
Oracle is just a metaphor, same as MS, it doesn't matter which one it is.
Why should one STOP hating on the competition even? There is no rational reason NOT to hate 'competition', but it's not about competition.
In fact Windows XP or 2000 are pretty decent systems, and so what? The hate is not about their products, it's about them as entities. The companies, their behavior, their entitlement. They have the money and so they are 'entitled' to waltz into anything with their bribes, and that's what they do.
Bribes and politics, that's what these guys are involved in. Products? Products don't matter. It's the companies and their behavior.
This is not even about free source or open source, it's about these particular entities - companies.
MS, Oracle - those are just two. I don't need to start a list here, it will not be too short unfortunately. Whatever you have to say, keep it.
They are a patent whore. They are a whore in general, whoring themselves out in any large company with so called 'technical consultants', who are in reality sales whores, just pushing Oracle for everything, and apparently the management was always happy to buy yet another piece of shit Oracle product (Aqualogic, as a great example of real real fecal matter, the kind that makes goatse and tubgirl look and feel like those who OCD over microbes on their hands).
It's disgusting from start to finish, what can I say. I always recommend something else.
Ford was a well known figure, he started a first mass production facility in USA that produced cars anyway and he was a real capitalist, reacting to the market regulations, which were telling him - get the talent and keep it and you'll make more profit.
He did make more profit. 1 year after he changed the conditions on his assembly lines he made TWICE the number of cars and lowered the prices further, allowing his employees to buy a car with 4 months of salary saved (1.25 ounces/week, that works out to 5 ounces per month and 20 ounces per 4 months, which incidentally is about the same amount of gold you need to buy a good new car today).
You see, in real money prices are stable. In real money prices are even going down, because you CAN buy a car with much less than 20 ounces of gold! Imagine that. One can buy a car with less than 10 ounces of gold, I think that's pretty amazing and shows that mass production and increased efficiencies due to competition do work wonders.
Now, saying that nobody else would have similar conditions is just not true, the market TRIES all sorts of things. But what is important in the market is what wins, not all the possibilities that are tried.
Do you know why a company can sell a car for only 10 ounces of gold today? It's because of the capital, which allows acquiring better and better tools, so that fewer and fewer people are needed to produce the same unit of work, and a much more complex unit of work, cars are stuffed with technology nobody even thought of in the beginning of the last century, from computers to TVs to GPS navigation to electronic transmission and ignition and all sorts of improvements and innovations and inventions. Why is this all possible?
It's because people are trying to make a buck. Trying to generate profit leads people to competition and building better mousetraps.
Gov't gets in the way and destroys the economy by distorting that process, and now some people think they need to get rid of CAPITALISM? The system that allowed the cars to fall in REAL money by a factor of 2 over the century?
That's how blind and ignorant people are. What they need to do is get their freedoms back and starts more businesses with those freedoms and hire some people.
And no, nobody forces anybody to accept a job with terrible conditions. IF a person cannot FIND a job with conditions any better than his current employment, then he should be THANKFUL that his current employer even provides him with that opportunity.
People don't understand the markets or effect of governments at all.
Addressed this many times over - Henry Ford was as anti-union as I am.
However he had to deal with MARKET regulations
In 1914 Henry Ford increased the productivity of his workers by spending enough capital to set up an assembly line that allowed him to produce more cars than anybody with least amount of labor
The first Model Ts were built at the Piquette Road Manufacturing Plant, the first company-owned factory. In its first full year of production, 1909, about 18,000 Model Ts were built. As demand for the car grew, the company moved production to the much larger Highland Park Plant, and in 1911, the first year of operation there, 69,762 Model Ts were produced, with 170,211 in 1912. By 1913, the company had developed all of the basic techniques of the assembly line and mass production. Ford introduced the world's first moving assembly line that year, which reduced chassis assembly time from 12ý hours in October to 2 hours 40 minutes (and ultimately 1 hour 33 minutes), and boosted annual output to 202,667 units that year After a Ford promised profit-sharing if sales hit 300,000 between August 1914 and August 1915, sales in 1914 reached 308,162, and 501,462 in 1915; by 1920, production would exceed one million a year.
These innovations were hard on employees, and turnover of workers was very high, while increased productivity actually reduced labor demand. Turnover meant delays and extra costs of training, and use of slow workers. In January 1914, Ford solved the employee turnover problem by doubling pay to $5 a day, cutting shifts from nine hours to an eight hour day for a 5 day work week (which also increased sales; a line worker could buy a T with less than four months' pay), and instituting hiring practices that identified the best workers, including disabled people considered unemployable by other firms. Employee turnover plunged, productivity soared, and with it, the cost per vehicle plummeted. Ford cut prices again and again and invented the system of franchised dealers who were loyal to his brand name.
a businessman without any unions, did the following for his employees due to market regulation that came in form of high turnover:
1. Paid them 5USD/hour with 5x 8 hour days. This means he paid them 25USD/week. The price of gold was just over 19USD/ounce, that means he was paying 1.25 ounces of gold. At current gold prices of 1724/ounce, that's 2155 USD/week. That's about 112,000USD/year.
2. Without income taxes to pay, Ford's workers were taking home over 112K in current money, and that's without income taxes. So in today's equivalent and given the fact that health insurance was about $5/year per person and doctor's visits were paid out of pocket and so was education and pension savings, because all of those things didn't have gov't involvement and so they were very affordable, today's equivalent would have to be at least 2.5 times that much, near 300,000USD.
Ford also hired disabled workers by the way, that nobody wanted. He needed to lower turn over and to retain talent and he did it due to market pressure by improving conditions. The work week was 5 x 8 hour days. No unions, no income taxes, no payroll taxes, no corporate taxes, near no corporate regulations, no bullshit.
This is the way the market works, the OWS with the shrewed capitalist 0.1% millionaire Michael Moore successful competitive 'documentary' producer is coming up stupid shit that they think will help anybody, well that experiment has failed enough times that people shouldn't buy into it.

Yeah, I just glanced at your "well reasoned" posts. I don't know what you are, a tom boy or a barbie girl, but your 'well reasoned' posts are shit.
Oh, it was a troll? Wasn't your premise a troll, that people who don't hire others for less than their worth deserve to be BURNED with 'tires over their heads'? I think somebody protests too much of being the real troll.

just outsource the entire IRS IT stuff to India, I think that'll fix everything in a hurry.
