How is it possible, in this day and age, for there to be such an enormous disconnect between what people actually want, and what extravagantly overcompensated corporate executives think people want?
We have a society that is built of lies, selfishness, and greed. That is why it's inevitably destroying itself.
Economic analysis shows that government spending, especially on safety nets has a net positive effect (each dollar spent increases economic activity by more than a dollar) on the economy. I was looking around for a good example of such an analysis, but there are so many, I'll let you pick the one you like best.
I like the one where you take your "economic analysis" and shove it up your fucking ass. You do not have the right to rob me at gunpoint to financially support faggots, drug abusers, and losers, no matter how many government funded studies you wave in my face to try and convince me it's OK. Fuck you.
What makes you think I want to use an OS that changes version numbers once or twice a year, yet still has basic fundamental flaws that persist for decades?
Somebody needs to come out with an antibiotic soap which kills the microbes who inhabit the FDA. The country would be a lot better place without those parasites around.
Externalities are a market failure, and one of the reasons for government is to correct for market failures.
Only slaves think the purpose of government is to make all their decisions for them. You personally might be an idiot, but I can decide what is the best light bulb for my circumstances. So fuck off with your big brother nanny bullshit. Mercantilism is for fags.
It's still dirty money that the Swiss got wealthy off of regardless of what the people of Switzerland did or didn't know or what the US doesn't or doesn't do today.
And your point is what, exactly?
Repeated for the third since you apparently can't read.
I asked a question: so what is your fucking point? That the Swiss are evil? If not, then what are you ranting on about? If so, then how can you justify such a judgment in comparison to other countries such as the U.S., England, etc which had a direct hand in the horrible and painful deaths of millions of people? Yeah the Germans killed a lot of Jews, gays, etc. The U.S. and Britain fire bombed cities full of millions of people. So what's your point?
Cry more, liberturdian. There's a reason nobody educated or in positions of power will ever take your ideas seriously;
What makes you think libertarians give a flying fuck about being "taken seriously" by fucking idiots like you?
it's because they're fucking terrible and would wreck the economy. If you don't like it go live in Somalia, libertarian paradise.
I got a better idea: you go to Somalia, and get the fuck out of my country. This is a free nation. Capitalism is what we practice here. If you want socialism or any other system of economic slavery, then go fuck yourself with a sword.
That's the equivalent of saying "TV commercials are annoying, so stop watching TV at all."
Yeah, that's exactly right. And since you're obviously too much of a fucking pussy to go that route, I guess you should get back to watching those obnoxiously loud commercials and shut the fuck up about it. Right?
If you don't like the income tax laws or the IRS, there is no law against renouncing your citizenship and taking up residence in a nation with a more lenient tax system.
I got a better idea: how about I just stay right where I'm at and store my money in Switzerland, or better yet convert it to gold bullion and bury it in my back yard, because fuck you. If you don't like that, there's no law against you renouncing your citizenship and moving to another nation where people and their money are more tightly controlled, like China for instance.
You're right that Switzerland provided a haven for Jews to store their money, but that doesn't change the fact that it also provided a haven for Nazis to store their looted wealth also.
You're completely wrong to imply Switzerland only banked for oppressed Jews. It very much banked for the oppressing Nazis as well.
Yeah well guess what? The US of today is just as bad as the Nazi Germany of yesterday. So what you're saying is the Swiss are therefore bad people for doing business with the US?
Do you think the average Swiss person had any clue the Nazis were imprisoning people in huge concentration camps and executing them by the millions, until after the war was over and all this was revealed?
Piece of advice: you probably shouldn't post while you're either that drunk or stupid. I'm going to guess that means you probably shouldn't post at all.
So am I to understand you will no longer be posting here? Thank God
Burnouts are illegal? Really? Then can you explain to me why a friend got an "improper start" ticket thrown out--issued for doing a burnout--when he DID NOT do it from a standing start? This was in Attalla, AL.
Bet you didn't know that did you asshole.
I see you've gone with the "vehemence" method of trying to convince people you're right.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I'm just pointing out that you are a fucking idiot. Unfortunately, you're too fucking stupid to understand why that's so.
So the chances of a REGULATED company selling you bad heart medication are vastly lower than those of an unregulated company doing it.
So your type always claims. Unfortunately, you're too fucking stupid to understand why that's just not so.
Well, 100 million people tried that and it didn't work. What do you propose to do with them -- write them off?
Yep. Sorry, if your fucking fat ass can't lose weight by eating healthy and working out, then your fucking fat ass deserves to stay fat, for the rest of your short and miserable life.
I spent a couple years in Afghanistan, on coalition many bases with people from all across the world. Every time you saw a fat ass, guess what nationality? American, or British. Never once saw a fat ass Afghan or a fat ass Estonian, or a fat ass South Korean, or a fat ass Egyptian. I wonder why that is? Pull your head out of your asshole.
That is one approach. You might change your mind when some unregulated company sells you bad heart medication though. Or contaminated ibuprofen.
What the fuck is even the point of this idiotic comment?
What if a REGULATED company sells you bad heart medication? What if the entire industry conspires to sell you harmful shit, pushed by your doctor, sold at profit by your pharmacy, and approved by the FDA?
Jesus Fucking Christ....pull your head out of your ASSHOLE.
They can't do analysis, a secondary market can't do it, nobody can. The science just isn't there yet to draw useful conclusions for an individual on the basis of DNA in isolation.
You are one stupid mother fucker.
I have a 23andme account. I already knew going in that I was likely at higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Guess what, 23andme showed that I have about a 50% higher risk than the average person. They also told me I'm immune to the stomach flu...which was cool to learn, and not really a surprise because I have never once had any kind of "stomach bug." They also showed that I am likely to be sensitive to warfarin, which is information that could one day save my life. Oh yeah, and I found that I carry one recessive gene for hemachromatosis, which is definitely something I'd like to know before having kids.
I benefited from this service. That's because unlike you, I have a fucking brain in my head. Nobody with a God damned clue goes on that site and then takes everything they read as gospel. They do have information which shows which predictions are more or less likely to be accurate, and all of that is posted. So far I have found the vast majority of the information they've posted to be more or less accurate.
If you think 23andme is "bogus", then you are one dumb mother fucker. And I don't need Big Brother holding my hand, you stupid shit. Do us all a favor: pack your shit, and get the fuck out of this country. We have no room for worthless slaves such as yourself.
One day I hope you catch a hollow point right in the fuckin noggin. That's exactly what you deserve, you fucking human trash. You can take your "free speech zone" and shove it up your asshole, sideways, maggot.
He was twelve, you sociopathic git. Do you really expect him to know what resources are available to him at that age given his background?
He is a direct offspring of his parents, right? And wasn't it his parents who utterly failed to raise him in any decent way? And now here he is as an adult, bitching and moaning and complaining and crying a fucking river about these POOR, POOR thieves who stole a truck, beat the drivers half to death, then ended up getting a fatal dose of Cobalt-60 for their trouble. And I'm the one who's "sociopathic" ? Let's face facts: this guy is a total piece of shit. He started that way the day he was born.

We have a society that is built of lies, selfishness, and greed. That is why it's inevitably destroying itself.
I'll even wave a government (NIH) study in your face that points up your latent homosexuality.
Of course you would. That's just what one would expect from a faggot like you.
Is there any instance where surveillance alone caused actual measurable harm?
There is no such thing.

People who produce content do have some right to keep other people from stealing it.
False.
Hopefully you'll be replaced by a robot soon. And likely will. Enjoy that.
Couldn't we say the same about you, o Anonymous asshole? In fact how would we even determine that you are not in fact a robot?

Banning needlessly inefficient technologies when there are reasonable alternatives available is one of them.
What part of "I live in Wisconsin and that heat is NOT wasted" don't you understand, idiot?
