  6. Re:Education... on Arkansas Has a Growing Population of "Climate Change Refugees" · · Score: 1

    How recently did you travel to Arkansas? From what your comments say, not recently. Northwest Arkansas is the fastest growing part of the state with a very high quality education system by comparison to the rest of the state. They can't build schools fast enough up there to keep up with the growing population. Healthcare systems are a lot better up there as well. A lot of folks I know here in the Fort Smith area that need healthcare will commute up I-49 to NWA to get their healthcare there instead of putting up with the crappy system down here in the Fort.

    Anyone who willingly and knowingly infects a medical device with the purpose of causing harm is deserving of the death penalty. Full stop. These people are already a true menace, but medical equipment? This goes beyond the pale. Hang them from neck until dead in public.

    At the very least, classify the programmer of the malware as a terrorist, sikk Seal Team Six on him/her and send them to Gitmo.

    American footballers are schoolgirls. Too soft to play without armour, too thick to follow the rules of rugby union.

    Yeah right. But I don't see rugby players drilling someone at full speed preparing to catch the ball liike they do when American Football punt receivers are about to catch a punt (unless they call fair catch of course).

    It shows the company has money to burn giving janitors huge raises. People actually in demand want some of that.

    Janitors must be in pretty high demand around here. Radio stations playing ads all the time trying to get folks to hire on to janitorial contractors or temp agencies.

    Why? This is part of the problem, it shouldnt matter. $75,000 is more than enough money to live off of almost anywhere in the country. I HATE that people expect to be raised up equally every time we try to lift the floor up a few inches for those on the bottom. It shouldnt matter what your coworker makes as long as you have enough in your bowl.

    Where's my mod points when I need them? Totally agree! When someone has "scratched shit with the chickens" as my mom used to say and have lived thru what they are going thru, you tend to appreciate what the folks on the bottom of the totem pole face on a daily basis and are happy to see their lot in life improved by something such as this instead of snorting "Where's my fucking raise?". If I recall, even the higher earners got a 5K raise. Better than nothing, I say. You are already making enough money. Get over it.

    As far as Japan and the end of WWII is concerned, we should have forgone the nukes, invaded and if it caused hundreds of thousands of deaths on either side, then so be it.

    Your tune would change if your ass was about to be drafted into the armed forces to take part in said invasion, like so many men were in that war.

    Fair point. Though in many cases it backfires when it comes to people like me. If I remember a company because of their obnoxious ads, I'm actually less likely to buy from that company, even if they have a superior product or a lower price. For me, it's a matter of principle.

    The only way that I see that you could entirely eliminate the concept of "money" (aka currency) would be for everything that everyone wants to be available to everyone. This is the only way to eliminate the motivation to barter, and I just don't see how you possibly achieve that.

    That's what a REPLICATOR is for!
