wow, sir harsh-a-lot! normally I don't reply to AC but you've impugned my reputation and I think I know who you are anyway. You're right, I make serial accounts because when you get modded to terrible you've effectively been silenced. I get modded down because I speak against the slashdot groupthink. I refuse to be silenced for not agreeing with the groupthink, so I serialize.
A tangential point - what kind of shitty shill would I be if I just kept incrementing my user name? I think the goal of a shill is to try not to be too obvious.
my android is an LG optimus V on VMo, and it's a shitty phone. I'm not inclined to post a photo, so gfy.
Hmm, I think you're being facetious, but I have to free with your statement. My android has multitouch, and my hp laptop has two-fingered scrolling. But they,re a disastrous implementation and thoroughly unpleasant to use. O the other hand, on the MacBooks and iPads, multitouch is so smooth it's practically minority report. In my opinion.
I think you're referring to the "feeding the multitude" miracle, in which Jesus turns veral loaves of bread into enough fish for thousands. This example is exactly the opposite of the point you were trying to make. As to the textbook definition of socialism, when you can miraculously make fish, talk about controlling the means of production!

what are you talking about constitutional rights? apply a sales tax to all goods purchased and delivered in the state. why is that weird? it's specifically constrained to the state. i think you should chillax, get off your high horse, get your head out of your ass, and go back to your fanntasy love affair with amazon. zOMG did you see the new KINDLES!!!! They are freaking awesome!!! I fanboi'd my shortz!!!!
this hasn't been my experience at all. in my experience, amazon is always lower than b&m, especially on expensive stuff. also, shipping is free over $25. except for buying a single book or single CD, it's easy to do $25. Also, Amazon has an app where you can compare prices in real time in a store. It's called "showrooming."
Also, it sounds like you're being inconsistent. you're saying that amazon is often more expensive than b&m, so they need a tax break to "level the playing field." don't you think that's a bit hypocritical?
We need to get together and have everyone give samples of bodily fluids, containing our DNA, mix them together thoroughly, and spray the stuff EVERYWHERE
dude, you missed out, we did this at my house last weekend. next time i'll send you a text beforehand.
the only artifical thing is that one merchant gets a 10% tax break that another merchant doesn't get. when a market like TVs runs on razor thin margins, why should the government decide who wins and who loses. level the playing field - all merchants pay the same sales tax, and the government doesn't annoint a "favorite boy".
how can you disagree with me?
no, I'm not trying to be a socialist marxist democrat. the playing field is currently slanted in favor of amazon, to the detriment of B&M. why do you want to artificially prop up one group over another?
fact: if I buy a tv at best buy, I pay 10% tax. if I buy a TV at amazon, I do not pay 10% tax. why should tax law favor one merchant over another? the margins on tvs are so razor thin that best buy can't overcome this setback - they can't price their tvs 10% under amazon to make up for the tax benefits.
all i'm saying is, all merchants pay sales tax. level playing field. there's no way you can disagree with that. otherwise, you want to prop up somebody artifically and cut the legs out of someone else. how can you argue otherwise?

I'm sorry. I assumed you had some intellectual honesty. You should join the republicans if you're not there already. You'll be in fine company.

yeah but some people just keep cycling accounts rather than having one consistent presence.

too many incompetent cops, or not enough incompetent firemen?
