    Well since you're so keen on the natural way of things, can I have all your material belongings when you go bare-assed into the wilderness to live off berries and shrubs?

    Galileo wasn't persecuted because he said the Earth orbited the Sun. Galileo was persecuted because he wrote treatises slandering the reigning Pope. He was punished for his politics, not his science.

  12. Re:Tech issues and socio-political issues. on Japanese Stealth Fighter Announced as 'Return of the Zero' · · Score: 1

    Your ability to read your own political insecurities out of my two word reply is amazing. That, sir, is what you might call humor. It's patently absurd that the United States would invade a NATO ally, hence the humorous disparity between reality, and my statement.

  21. Re:no, you don't get it on A Year In Prison For a 20-Second Film Clip? · · Score: 1

    There are far fewer rich people than poor people. Since 1% of the population own a bit more than 38% of the wealth, that means that there's only three million people available to commit crimes wantonly. If your goal is to limit the number of crimes committed, encouraging the rich to commit crimes while discouraging the poor from committing crimes fits that bill. Even so, the rich can't afford to commit egregious crimes in this hypothetical state, because even with three million of them - there aren't enough of them to completely destroy everything.

    all you are proposing is a society where the rich can get away with crime and the poor must become slaves for the tiniest infraction
