employee theft. If the price is 1.00$, the person working the regster can just take the buck, or five, or whatever, and slide it into their pocket. If its.99, or 1.95, or 7.53, they gotta make change by opening the register.
Comitt a crime, go to jail for 10 years as punishmnet, and never be able to get a decent job again. OH, and no more rights, despite having paid your debt to society, whatever that means.
DOnt get me wrong, im not about going easy on criminals, but i also think that theres a limit to how long you can keep kicking someone before they just stop giving a shit, because thay have nothing left to loose.
I have no problem using this for house arrest, and probation/parole purposes. But once someone has served their time, AND shows good prospects for rehabilitation, please leave them the fuck alone and let them get on with their lives. I personally think once someone is finished with their prison term/probation/and whatnot, they should get ALL their rights back and get their record wiped clean after a time. However, i also think that there are some people who cant be turned loose ever again. THin charles manson.
ANd before you start wailing about teh expense of keeping somone locked up forever, remember, abot 90% of the prison budget is for drug related stuff, granted, a good portion of that is turf war murders and such. How much more effective at rehabilitation would prisons be if you sould focus 90% more resources on that 10 percent that would be left?

If theyll stop holding me to their orwellian laws. If they dont like having a camera following them everywhere, well, too bad. Stop putting up your fucking spy cameras on every corner, stop with those redlight cameras that are there only to generate money.
I dont like being watched by camera all the time either.

Is the Gvt of canada now deciding the name one can use to descrbe ones religion? I'm a discordian. It is the best description, and closest philospy that describes my worldview. Are they going to give me a hard time because thats not an approved/accepatable religion?
To put it bluntly, fuck off. You left that part of the form as fill in the blank. If you dont like my answer, maybe you shouldnt be asking the question.
Youre going to tell me that my 20 year old dollar bill, issued with the full faith and trust of the governemnt, is no longer good? Gee, what a quick and dirty way for the government ot make money. "WEre sorry sir, despite the fact that we promised it would be good forever, you missed yesterdays cutoff date for trading your bills. Theyre wastepaper. Thank you for paying off part of the debt" Yeah. Like this wouldnt shatter the economy, as i and most other people switch to gold and euros as my currency of choice.
Obviously not. You would never make an error in the course of your day to day job, because you sir, are perfect. By the way, i believe the A in Java is lower case.
Not only are they all different colors, with holograms and different sizes, but they also have a raised pattern on each bill, a tiragle, square or circle. I understand why tehy cant change the size of our bills easily, but a raised pattern on the bill would be easy.
WHere i work, they have their ASSISTANTS print out their e-mail, the then write their response on the printout, and the assistant types it in. THe only time some of these guys turn on the $2500 laptop on their desk is when theres a photo-op, and they want to look tech savvy.

Actually, this would be great. I have a couple of shows that i love listening to, but cant get in my office. I can get ehm a day late off usenet, but thats kind of annoying.
I used to work in a used book store, and the better (not necessarily popular) the author, the less likely people were to sell the book. Take me ofr instance, ive got some authors who Id never sell, juat because i enjoy reading their stuff too much.
THe local starbucks charges 30$ per month. HEllOOOOOO! I tend to study at starbucks, so i could easly rack up 3-6 hours a week, but im not willing to shell out 30 bucks for that, especially if im not there for a few weeks. THink aobut it, anyone who has a wireless laptop, probably already is paying for a connection at home. THis would dprobably almost double the cost of most peoples connections. I woul dlove to see figures of how the service is working, as far as subscribers.
MAybe if they went with 1$ a day, i would have used it. OR maybe a discount plan, for every 1$ of coffee you buy, you get a percentage off the 30$

where literally asking "Excuse me, but did you just mean to insult me" or "did i do something to offend you" has quickly de-escalated an arguement.
