"Then go to some country where there are no taxes. "
No thanks.
"Assuming you can find this mythical make believe country, it would be a shithole with no public infrastructure."
What makes you think that "shithole" and "public infrastructure" are mutually exclusive?
America is a shithole, by many metrics.
"you take for granted what your taxes buy you."
No I don't.
" ingrate."
Fuck off an die in a fire.
I work for a local government and am heavily involved in the property tax process. I'm sure like all things it varies by state, but here (South Carolina) I'd say that the urban subsidizes the rural even on property taxes.
You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Silly rules? Pull your head out of your asshole this instant, for fuck's sake. If a God damned oil change place can't even successfully execute an oil change without the fucking wheel coming off a few miles down the road, then the asshats who run the place don't fucking deserve to be in business. Just because we today find ourselves surrounded on all sides with inept incompetence, doesn't mean it's normal or desirable or acceptable. Wake the fuck up. Get some standards, and stop being a shit for brains who accepts mediocrity.
These Dice people are fucking idiots. The beta site is a GOD DAMNED WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT, as people have been screaming about on every single article. And still these clueless fucks persist in continuing forward with it. Unbelievable. Only in America.
Does this article seem apologetic to you? Of course not...because they're not sorry. They're a bunch of fucktards with their heads shoved so firmly up their asses it would take a front end loader to dig them out. Slashdot's viewership is on the verge of quitting the site en masse and still these dumb fucks think it's OK to press on ahead, oblivious. They post this article under the delusion that all they have to do is "spin it" right and use the right marketing speak and all will be well. How fucking stupid can someone be?
Most importantly, we want you to know that Classic Slashdot isn't going away until we're confident that the new site is ready.
If Classic Slashdot ever goes away....then I'm fucking gone. You hear that, dick for brains? GONE. Adios, ASSHOLES!
Posted under my alternate name because the original account--which had great karma for over a decade--was repeatedly downmodded by shills, and now I'm only allowed to post twice a day. And of course, I emailed the admin, and he refused to do anything about it. The moment some good alternative site pops up where I can actually participate with a decent community of intelligent people whose heads aren't permanently installed in their assholes, I will take my comments and your advertisers elsewhere.
That's because "the middle" is idiotic. It doesn't exist. Snowden is either a hero, or a traitor, depending on one's perspective. Are you for liberty and freedom? Or are do you want to kneel down and lick the jackboot of tyranny? Choose.
But when you go on about the Hussein garbage, you are just making yourself and people like you sound like a racist. The reason why: You are racist.
You are a dumb ass. There is no racism involved here, you dumb asshole. Do you also think people are being "racist" when they talk about George W Bush or John Fitzgerald Kennedy?
Turncoat dixiecrat morons have invaded the GOP. You have dragged us down. You took a once noble and progressive party and made it irrelevant.
The GOP was never "noble" or "progressive." GOP is the party of Lincoln, a tyrant who invaded and destroyed half the country because they wouldn't kiss corporate ass or pay his bullshit tariff. Learn some history, you fucking dickwad.
You are not civilized. You are not genteel. You are not polite nor engaging. You perpetuate stereotypes that are harmful to people whom really want restrained and controlled government.
Look in the mirror.
Your opposition of a man's middle name (and cultural ancestry / skin color) is an embarrassment to people who would oppose Obama's policies because they are bad.
You're an embarassment. It embarasses me that people as stupid as you not only exist, but feel the need to express your idiotic opinions loudly and forcefully. Fuck you.
Either stop your behavior or go away. If you persist in your vile behavior, you are damaging the party and the country.
But again, this was very much a function of the state of technology and the limitations of travel and communications at the time. The feedback cycle today can be instantaneous, across the country.
Bullshit. Fucking bullshit. If this was true, then explain to me why the cockroaches who inhabit DC and other urban shitholes like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, etc are nothing like me and don't give a fuck about me in the slightest, other than as a source of revenue for them and their bloated government bullshit?
And while state representatives live closer to those they represent, that's not a function of state power. Members of Congress live near those they represent.
Members of Congress are accountable to the assholes D.C. bureaucrats, not to the states. That's what happens when you centralize power in one place.
We could have no recognition of states or any state governments and still have federal government representatives distributed across the US, representing people.
What the fuck?
State and local government does lend itself to backwardness, which is probably why conservatives gravitate to it.
The backwards one is you, you stupid fucking asshole. If I want to be "backward" then that's exactly how I will fucking live, you goddamn elitist prick.
The founders should be admired for the country they created, however if you brought them back today they wouldn't know what a computer is, what a semi automatic weapon was and why somebody shot up a movie theater with one, why all the homosexuals aren't in prison, and why there are so many free slaves walking around.
It has nothing to do with the existence of a Federal government, you obtuse dumb ass.
I can never understand how bleeding heart libtards think.
You can't understand how anyone thinks, because you're a fucking idiot. That's why you throw around idiotic terms like "bleeding heart libtards" which have no basis in reality. I'm as "far right wing" as they come (put in quotes because these phrases are essentially meaningless), yet I will call you stupid and immoral for cheering for the forces of evil. Capital punishment is wrong, period. Ever heard the phrase "two wrongs don't make a right"? Use your God damned brain.
The FISA court signs warrants for surveillance. Of which electronic surveillance must be constrained to foreign parties or agents of foreign parties with a requirement that the involvement of U.S. citizens is shown to be minimized. Physical surveillance must be constrained to property used exclusively by foreign parties. In other words, in many cases the U.S. Constitution isn't even applicable since the surveillance warrants issued by the FISA court are not even dealing with U.S. Citizens. With respect to cases involving U.S. Citizens the court is fulfilling its fourth amendment duty to issue warrants after probably cause has been shown.
That's the official narrative anyhow, which is dutifully lapped up and repeated far and wide by the naive, stupid, and easily misled. Stalin called people like you "useful idiots." The reality of what goes on in our government and behind the scenes is nothing like the fiction you have so ignorantly bought in to.
The FISA court is illegal, immoral, and downright wrong. Period. It is controlled by the CIA/NSA/FBI/military industrial/prison complex. It's purpose is not justice, but the perpetuation of tyranny.
The reality is our country is completely overrun by crooks and there is workable solution other than armed revolution.
You didn't â" in fact you explicitly excluded it ("[you and your ilk] just worked hard and saved some money along the way") â" no other influencing factors (e.g., parent's wealth, location of birth, quality of education, economic opportunities, quality/availability of social welfare services, nepotism).
All of which are irrelevant. If someone wants to be successful in America, they can be--even in today's totally fucked up America, controlled by idiots, filled with red tape and rules and regulations galore, and inhabited by losers such as yourself with your can't-do quitter attitude.
If "working hard" were correlated with wealth, coal miners and the like would live like kings.
Nobody ever said "working hard" will make your wealthy. Nobody with a fucking brain expects to get rich mining for coal.
Is it more fun to gloat about having "worked hard" and saving in front of the poorer, hardworking, unlucky people living paycheck-to-paycheck?
"Unlucky." Luck has nothing to do with it, dumb ass. It's a person's attitude and ambition that determines their success. Stop making excuses for people, loser.
How is turning to the NSA for help going to help, when it was the NSA that cause his scandal to come to light?
Does subbmiter think it was an accident Christie was caught and exposed?
Who do you buy your supplies from when every corporation is intrusive?
You don't.
However, if EVERY corporation is intrusive (and car companies will all be if they aren't already) then where do you go? Do you buy from Huffy? Huffy will probably put GPS in their frames.
Then you buy an old bike...or build your own fucking bike.
But what else can you do if you live in the U.S. Do you go out and live in a shack like the Unibomber?
Tell you what, why not just keep being a slave? That's the easy thing to do, and we all know that bitches like you will never stand up for freedom because it's just waaaay too inconvenient. Pussy.
Edison said that, but Edison a mediocre inventor and a bad person.
Which is relevant to what, exactly?
Inventing new useful technology isn't easy, but the best approach usually isn't to use the brute force technique.
Well, I just know we're all sitting on the edge of our seats to hear straight from the horse's lips of a master inventor such as yourself, just HOW we're supposed to be doing it! Please master, enlighten us!
Slashdot Mirror
do you ever buy from places that use aliens as cheap labor to keep prices low?
Irrelevant.
do you pay every cent of tax you are supposed to?
Taxation is theft, and is immoral; this is a non sequitor.
the Rich are bigger freeloaders than the aliens because they don't pay their fair share of personal tax and do their best to avoid it.
Taxation is theft. Protecting oneself from theft is not equivalent to stealing.
Global companies do their level best to avoid paying any tax.
Taxation is theft.
Aliens are a very small part of any problem
Unrestricted immigration of illegal aliens are one of the biggest problems facing the U.S. today.
It's their only option to heat their homes. Surprise surprise, they are going to pay, or fucking freeze to death!

Addendum: and Slashdot is a fucking pile of shit.
The people who feed you...dumb ass.
FTFY
It fits the facts quite well, and you've said exactly nothing which even begins to dispprove this theory.
Cool story bro
Silly rules? Pull your head out of your asshole this instant, for fuck's sake.

Get some standards, and stop being a shit for brains who accepts mediocrity.
Then "Uber" and "Lyft" are useless wastes of space who will inevitably be replaced by other groups whose heads aren't up their assholes.
That's why browsers invented typing your search terms in the URL bar and passing the query to google, so you don't have to wait.
Only a clueless fucktard such as yourself would consider that to be a solution to the serious problem illustrated by the GP.
Didn't you notice? Or were you just too busy bitching at random irrelevant things while the world moved on?
The world is moving on past you as we speak.

Start with the fact that any evidence collected under a FISA warrant cannot be used against the defendant in court.

Slamming asteroids into Australia isn't an option, idiot. What good is "out of the box" "thinking" if the ideas you come up with are fucking stupid?
Other than the dismemberment, arson and homicide?

Stop with this "both sides are evil" bullshit. It's actually a documented right-wing FUD tactic. You're being played like a fiddle.
