    OK ! We can throw off the shackles of rewarding people who invent new stuff !!

    Never? As in all capital letters never?

    No one would have smelt a profit to be made from lasers?

  3. Re: Just because you can doesn't mean you should. on Doctors Tried To Lower $148K Cancer Drug Cost; Makers Tripled Its Price (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    If drugs are so easy (and research and discover, etc) then why is the US the only place on earth where it happens?

    Shouldn't it be like free money?

    Are drugs not being discovered in Europe because people are tired of all the money they're making over there?

    Or maybe all the diseases over there are just gone ?

    I'm such an ignorant American! I don't even know about the "too much money" problem and the "everything has been solved already" problem.

    Could you let Greece, Spain, Italy, Crete, Stockton, and Illinois know they don't need to balance their budgets?

    Presumably people will just keep giving them money forever without limit? Or what exactly?

    And people will keep buy bonds fully expecting a return on their investment after they become totally insolvent?

    Fascinating.

    Tell me more about this theory of Donald Trump not being elected.

  8. I just ran into Renee Descartes and he mentioned to me that you can't know anything.

    So maybe everything should be illegal?

  9. Re:Don't tell the religious types on Was There a Civilization On Earth Before Humans? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Most Christians aren't Jews, even though Jesus said salvation comes from the Jews. A lot of religious types are used to being not the chosen ones.

    I find it entertaining how scientific types go tossing around phrases like "existential crisis" and "as a species" when these people have no idea what it means to exist and they think decisions get made somehow collectively by a species.

    As far as their leaders refusing to give up power ... that is more or less true.

    Humans were doing OK prior to Queen Vicky and no normalized sanitization mechanisms.

    Tuvalu is covered in bird phosphates. They are ok and even sell the phosphates for cash.

    Business growth and jobs in Europe are horrible.

    Europe is an impoverished land by US standards.

  14. Also disregarding Europe as a place to start a business is equally mandatory

    A point is an area of infinitely small size.

    Do "political reasons" mean ordinary people didn't think the premise was unfair and throwing good money after bad?

    Ha ! That kind of bias is like the plantation owners of yore saying, "I don't need to compete for labor ... I can just enforce it."

    Your one sided thinking will probably not collapse on you as spectacularly as the old southern democrats, but good look get partners.

    And once you feel like you would never want to work with someone like you, you start to get conflicted and make dodgy choices.

    Then people say, "Oh, hey ... that guy made a stupid move". Except it wasn't stupidity -it was just feeling the weight of trying to defeat yourself in humanity.

    If your stated goal is to reduce terrorism and you prohibit state workers, are you suggesting government workers are more likely to be terrorists?
