Yes it is fair to say. Any social structure that diminishes responsibility is suspect. Add to that the feeling of self importance and a culture of administrators and coaches who are financially motivated to protect them and you have the opportunity for things to go terribly wrong really fast.
As N grows sufficiently large the sample mean will begin to reflect the true population parameter. I know how statistics works. I also know that if I have seen something twice I stop operating on best practices for statistical analysis and start operating as a human being. The number one killers in the US are... Cancer: 576,691 Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 142,943 Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 128,932 Accidents (unintentional injuries): 126,438 In my whole life I know 1 cancer victim, 1 lower respiratory disease victim, 1 stroke victim (who was 90 and smoked 2 packs a day) and 1 accident victim. So even though it is not statistically valid my count of 2 seems extraordinarily high, yes I know it can be attributed to chance but I also know that that chance is fairly small.
Don't conflate the two. Just because thing A is abused a lot doesn't make mitigating harm from thing B ANYTHING. Xiaran point about a moral backstop was a red herring and complete bullshit.
Doctor, "We used Rohypnol on you so you might notice that your pee is blue for a the first elimination!" Patient, "Why is that?" Doctor, "So less people are raped each year." Patient, "Wow whoever thought that up must be more interested in human beings than a the marginal profit from rape sales!" Doctor, "Yep, the F34nor on Slashdot is the motherfucking man!" Patient, "What if I have to use this regularly?" Doctor, "I guess you'll get used to blue pee!" Patient, "My wife is going to use this to make me sit when I pee isn't she?" Doctor, "White bath mats?" Patient, "Yep." Doctor, "You're days of manly peeing are over my friend, I'd invest in a Japanese toilet with heat and powered bidet to take the edge off your emasculation."
There was a show I watched about Voodoo where the real doctor would give it to people because they thought blue urine was a sign of a spirit leaving the body.
If there is no vote for war in the legislature yes, but what does that have to do with personal responsibility especially in a representational democracy?
Ok, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you're a completely stupid fuck. For one thing I know someone who had roofies used on her. She knew a member of the frat since they were little kids and he still pulled a "bros before hoes" on her. (Yes I know he was probably the rapist.) I have also stumbled on someone in downtown Portland who had been given something. Had one drink and she couldn't walk properly. Roofies are not a "moral panic block", they are widely available, tasteless and odorless drug used by sociopaths to rape people. Do you read the news? Do know who many women are raped each year on campuses in the US? Take your useless, ignorant, thoughtless, opinion and have some frat boy tape it to his dick and shove it up your ass and see what you "think" about it then.
A How about the complete fucks who make Rohypnol just put indelible blue dye in it that also passes through to urine? Oh yeah because they are complete fucks. We should just make chemically assisted rape punishable by death.
They are useless bags of shit. My cousin works for an interactive TV system. They have had 3 deals fall through with Comcast because of incompetence of Comcast side. They wanted to make the deal, it would have made everyone money but Comcast was incapable of getting their shit together 3 time in a row.
Natural monopolies exist for a reason. There is no reason to have six sets up copper on a pole delivering the same shit. Your argument that AT&T used regulation to prevent being sued has nothing to do with natural monopolies or regulation, it is simply and example of talented lawyers finding a solution to their problem within the greater scope of "rent seeking behavior." It was easier to limit their liability through regulation than being a better business.
As to " government specialized in correcting problems it created " that is the only possible logical approach to anything. The assumption that the free market or the government can do anything perfectly the first time and that it shouldn't continuously improved is insane. It is a fallacy that government is anything different than any other human endeavor, a pile of shit that stinks and need to be cleaned from time to time. The only reason the free market and business are seen as better is because you are unaware of the vast majority of cluster fucks that occur in business, you only become aware of success by its nature and so you have an unrealistic view of the market.
I know for a fact you are wrong. We have a WISP provider in a rural area. We put in a permit application to run fiber from the wireless link to the neighborhood. As soon as we we threatening competition Comcast came in and put up wires after us asking for 30 years. The dicks also stopped at our property line and refused to run cable to our 4 rental houses. Yes it could have been a coincidence but I doubt it.
Natural monopolies should never be for profit. This is what happens when you pay lip service to free market capitalism and fail to regulate. You get natural monoploies acting as either true monopolies or oligopolies.
If you every household who uses comcast turn off their service and spends the 150 a month on Comcast stock even if the stock stayed steady it would take 2 years to buy them out. Then we put Nader, Lessig, et. al on the board and FIRE EVERY FUCKING EXEC AND MANAGER IN THAT FUCK HOLE.

Double negative. As the grandfather I am supporting your opinion.
It gets them out of the gene pool.
Yep, sometimes good thing can be used for bad. That's why we have logical fallacies to call out people have no fucking idea how logic or debate works.
So what?
Doctor, "We used Rohypnol on you so you might notice that your pee is blue for a the first elimination!"

Doctor, "So less people are raped each year."

l don't disagree; alcohol is abused and used to abuse almost universally. A sociopath is a sociopath ad infiniutum.
Bullshit. Any social structure that diminishes personal responsibility is suspect.
You are totally factually right but also absolutely wrong! Isn't paradox fun!

Oh snap!
Save a sample you ignorant fuck. That's what labs are for.

And then their rates would go up they would get bundled and they would vote in a new board of directors in the next proxy vote.

No shit you fucking moron. Then you buy more stock until you own the means of distribution and have a customer owner utility.
No then it just takes twice as much money or twice as long.

In the booth it is private, also of note this would be the ONLY place you could see the completed ballot to take a picture of it.
Has anyone else notice all the BULLSHIT on this thread is AC?
