Lets see, the tax man will garnish your wages, take your home, car, anything you own aside from the clothes on your back, anything of value, while the debt collectors are limited on that they can get from you. They also don't have guns (generally)
It's lose-lose, but at least with debt you don't have an armed government agent coming after you. The worst that happens there is bad credit score and bankruptcy. You can't bankruptcy out of higher taxes.
You should have gone to a private school for the opportunity to have a better quality education. Statistics show that in general that private and home-schooled children do better on standardized tests then those in public schools (from worst to best it's public, private, home).
Are you saying socialized education and medical care is better? Than why is Canada slowly privatizing after decades of socialized medicine? Why is Britain and France running constantly in the red budget wise? Why are taxes in countries with socialized medicine and or education so much higher than elsewhere without any increased benefit seen via graduation rates?
As for compassion, the state is a soulless thing that has no compassion. The state would sooner set you up in prison for not paying your taxes than give you a free handout. There is only one source of compassion and it seems to be anathema to most/.ers.
Socialized health care and education do not work. Get over it or go try and build your own socialist paradise.
I've been nagging on my friends about this for YEARS. At least the past 8-10 years (especially in the last 2-3) I've called into question the value of degrees versus actual, real-world experience and what was better. Yet we see that corporations continue (with rare exception) to put great emphasis on college and degree obtained instead of practical, relevant experience. When some fruitcake out of college with a 2 year degree but no understanding of usability and standards can get a job doing web design while I'm still spinning my wheels working jobs like freaking Wal*Mart night stocker despite my nearly 15 years practical experience, it makes you freakin' wonder just what is really important. Unfortunately I cannot afford a college education. I have loans I can't pay off because right now there are no jobs to be had (nepotism ftw).

It's called Aids? Not sure if I want that on my phone. :p
Oh man. I'm going to have to license that from you. Sounds awesome. (:
I patented the process of smashing the jelly into the bread so that the sandwich has a superior taste. :p
Their UUCP technology? Seriously?

That stuff is older than I am (and I don't even think it's actually used anymore).
So they own SMTP? POP3? IMAP4? sendmail?!
I was wondering the same thing.

Probably some of the best typesetting text around, especially for web development.

Higher taxes leave you with less to pay bills, buy food, etc.
Psht.

If you count higher taxes, waiting lists (for health care at least), and endless red tape an advantage, sure.

and therein lies the entire problem with socialism.
Hey, it's been working to pay for loads of things for millennium after millennium!

Don't forget to close out your list item, but thanks. Will have to keep that in mind.
It's all good. For the longest time I ran only 500MB (and that was at first Win95 with Windows Entertainment Pack, then a full install of RH6.2)
Only 3GB? Nothing impressive there.
hrm
Is anything interesting (aside from what shows up on Failbook) served up on FB?
Didn't think so.
I'm not surprised at anything anymore.
but they are directing the operation. Also, the Jones Act hasn't been waived by Obama so I doubt anyone topside is Norwegian.
Actually didn't know about that.
