You also need to accept when you get your first job that you won't make enough to live off of, many can't accept that.
bullshit.
you should absioluetly not accept a computer job if it isnt enough to pay the bills. if you can not live on an entry-level computer salary, then you arent managing your money correctly. you dont need that new car, you dont need $90 pair of jeans, and maybe you dont need a $4000 gaming rig.
yes mr. AC, the only way capitalism works is if it is well-regulated, and while we may debate whats well-regulated, and whats over-regulated, we will never discuss NO regulation as was proposed by the parent.
unregulated capitalism is barbaric, and not in practice anywhere in the world today.
grow a pair of cherries assmunch, you've got to be funcing kidding me. you're big fears have been around for thousands and thousands of years, and yet we managed to fucking survive and thrive as a species.
you act like violence to children is a new 21st century invention - its not, there have been sick fuckers for thousands of years, and we've survived. children have survived.
because the individual, living in a rural town, dominated by one company, has no practical choice.
his choices are work at the company, or starve.
there is no choice here, there is no mobility, there is only one option, work for the towns company, or starve.
the individual mass man has very little power in a business relationship, especialy one where his labor is a commodity product itself (i.e. production work), and his environment is dominated by one powerful business.
A better example would be: if a company pays women less than men and discloses this, they should be allowed to do it? Children have less rights than adults, less responsibility than adults, and require more protection.
i think that i took a more extreme example. the poster above said that... government regulation of business is bad, m'kay, and i took an extreme example, child labor, as a position where we do need absolute government intervention.
i have no doubts in my mind that if child labor were legal, we would see it in america. why? because its legal, and the labor would be ridiculously cheap.
you're example assumes already in-place legislation and regulations, and the original poster was against... regulation of business in general, and i dont think that you can assume that he's for existing regulation.
i'm certain that if the topic were to be discussed, he would be against minimum wage legislation, as well as mandatory overtime, OSHA, and all other types of business regulation.
business regulations are there for a reason, namely that business will never treat employees, customers or partners fairly unless forced to.
and yet, no actual evidence that it happened, just a bunch of pseudo-science garbage that says "it could possibly have happened", and then you jump to the conclusion that since its in that book, that it must be true.
now - do you believe the earth was created 6000 years ago?
the purpose of exit polls is to audit the election results, its not to give you a "horse race" feeling throughout the day, you are supposed to compare the tallies, against the projected results, and figure out why there is a discrepency.
exi polls wrong in three national elections in a row? no effing way.
all we want to do, is count the votes, accurately.
if everything is fine, then we'll be on our merry way.
the initial count varied greatly from the exit polls - in most countries, if the election result is different than the exit polls, the people REVOLT.
it happened with shreverdnazi (however the hell you spell that name), and it should have happened in 2k, and 2002, and 2004.
in closing, let me quote che guevarra: "if you cannot trust the election results, then the war has already begun"
so - if the election is kosher, then the recount is not a threat. if the election was not kosher, and the recount changes results, then the american people have won.
thats great - but some employers give both incentive options, and matching 401k contributions.
the trick is to 1) sell when you get a reasonable profit, and 2) invest the windfall in a conservative vehicle.

i dunno... i've had it work for me, but i did the most important thing.
i sold, and didnt get greedy.
but the key is - you must SELL, and then, place it in a nice conservative investment vehicle like a house.
i've heard too many horror stories of people who were up 300x, and didnt sell. people who could have *retired comfortably*, yet didnt sell, and lost just about everything in the crash.
i'm a big fan of options, and the stock market in general, but you absolutely, positively must know when to take money off the table, and into your pocket.

you say that like gridlock is a bad thing.
hell - i say we got to 1rep/100,000 population - yes, that would mean 3000 reps, but that would be a good thing.
who cares if they "couldnt get anything done" - its generally better like that.

what about the discarded frozen embryos resulting from in-vitro fertilization techniques?
just want to throw them away?
and most places in "the city" are extremely safe, too.
what we have here is good old fashioned unreasonable paranoia.
the game industry is so damn large that they have enough money to slap down any puritan crap that congress tries to push through.
you're not killing demons, or humans -
you're controlling pixels that shoot at pixels.
That's the /only/ way it works?

the farming labor laws are a totally different animal than normal labor law.

business regulations are there for a reason, namely that business will never treat employees, customers or partners fairly unless forced to.
If people are aware of the situation that they are getting into, and choose to get into it anyhow, should government legislate it?
so - if a company has a policy to hire only 8 year old girls to work the sewing machines, but discloses it, they should be allowed to do it?
take your randian shit and go home. the only way capitalism works, is if it is well-regulated.

so... what you're saying is, David vs. Goliath occured exactly as it was described? It was an actual event?

its because DIRT DOESNT VOTE!
the electoral college "roughly" gives population-sensitive weighting.
if you want real reform, we would uncap the house of reps upper limits, and go back to 1 rep/X0,000 people.
