"The cost to make the darn thing has nothing to do with it, though."
And I call bullshit on that. If they're going to use the excuse that they are charging less there because the people have less, they are either selling at a loss, or admitting to their severe greed.
It proves what a bunch scummy dirtbags the publishers are. If they can make a profit selling the book for 10% of what they charge in the US, then they are robbing the citizens of the US...
".in which you decide how much the product costs not based on how much the product costs to make, but on how much money the potential buyer has."
I prefer the term "Price Gouging" or "Economic Rape" for this "charge all you can get away with" approach...
Oh yeah, this is a great idea...
Can;t have them kids hearing about ideas and concepts they aren't comfortable with, it's not like any of those things actually exist in the real world that they'll have to deal with when they grow up. Can;t have anyone's feelings hurt. In the real world you'll never encounter anyone or anything different that challenges your worldview..../sarcasm off
Sweet jumping Jesus listening to an expensive iPod on a pogo-sticking Veociraptor bouncing into Allah's swimming pool while Bhudda sees who's sharing his birthday on the his new computer abnd choosing how big of a wart to wear on his Halloween witch's costume....
You wanna terrify Joe Aveerage American?
Wander into the lines as they kill each other to get through the door at Black Friday sales with pipebombs full of nails and explosives.
Blast some grocery stores while load of people are picking up food to feed their families.
9/11 was nothihng if you are looking to terrify citizens. Hit them where they live every day, nt high profile sites that most people would never even visit...
Works for:
1) Nagging wife
2) Hyper Kids
3) Neighbor who won't stop telling you how great Jesus is
4) Guy who keeps stealing your morning newspaper
5) Business rivals
so many uses
"They can just make speaking expensive."
Which for the vast majority of human beings IS a form of Censorship. One of the most insidious as people like you use it to claim it isn't censorship.
The whole situation is a lot like the American Presidential and Congressional elections. We don't get to root for who we want so much as the lesser of two evils... Google in this case
Because you have to go to the Petrol station and still pay for the gas that way. You're stealing a license (a crime) and paying cash for fuel vs. just stealing the fuel...
No, the best solution is to live life free of this kind of tyranny and stand up to it when it rears it's ugly head.
Why are people so STUPID they say shit like "Just don;t use Facebook, it's noting useful"? Fucking ignorant, just because you don't like or want it doesn't mean no one else does.
Besides, the bigger factor is it's none of an employers business what you do off the clock...
Yep, your unemployment benefits have run out and their no other jobs you've had any luck finding.
More like this should be completely illegal. The Constitution should extend to businesses as well...
Coaches and School admins have NO business butting into or forcing "Friend" status on student athletes. What the FUCK is wrong with this country?
The founding fathers could power the world cleanly and permanently if we hooked up dynamos to the their corpses these days...
