    Nazi-ism is a liberal ideology, so yes, it would follow that neo-nazis would be liberals as well.

    Well answer me this then... why do conservatives celebrate it!?

    Extra productivity should be a bonus ON TOP of a living wage. The system you seem to be promoting is, if you meet your ever increasing quotas THEN you can make a minimum wage level payout. If you need to you can pee in your soda bottle!

    So basically this is robbing Peter, to pay Peter...

  10. You're under the assumption that this is just short range voice communications... nor is this story pertaining to actual firefighters on duty but rather their and their families personal use.

  11. How about the government can have as much privacy as it's citizens. National security is nothing more than a euphemism for "we want to hold onto power"... It's high time our government started acting responsibly and the only way to do that is a grass roots efforts.

    It has nothing to do with "dumb" and "smart", it's people who perceive themselves as socially well adjusted laughing at characters who are not so socially well adjusted trying to navigate through life.

    ...oh yes we're quite familiar with your "pie growth".. but for some reason the people at the bottom who DO THE ACTUAL LABOR haven't seen much of anything at all of this new larger pie! For some reason the people of the OWNERSHIP class keep taking more and more of the fruits of other people's labor while the people who do the work remain at the same income while the costs of living rise! Add to that all the douche canoes who call the people ACTUALLY creating the wealth "lazy moochers" and "the entitlement class" and you end up with this Ayn Randian class of people who are on increasingly shaky moral ground while the masses become legitimately angry. But don't you worry cupcake.. you just wrap yourself up in that cozy little argument that "we just don't want anyone to be wealthy" to justify your shitting over large swaths of the populous, I'm sure it'll all work out for you in the end.. I just hope you're planning on building a nice big castle with high walls.

  15. Tell us more about the "mainstream media"...

  16. ...not really the point, but ok...

  17. ...because mentally ill people don't repeatedly steal...

  18. War is war.. you can put all the rules on it that you like, but when the chips are down war has no rules.. period. Someone WILL do this.. and the technology will get out. The world changes and we must adapt to it.

    That may be true, but industrial sectors do not advance if they do not *attempt* to create these things. They need to refine the aircraft to suit the current physical restrictions as a starting point, THEN you get to take another step and another and another. Eventually an industry matures and you have a product that is fit for the consumer market en masse. .. but none of it happens without the first steps of development.

    So basically if it doesn't affect you in your lifetime you really don't care at all... I think the official term for that is called being a selfish asshole... so by all means, speed up that "dirt nap" timeline so the rest of us can have a better life.
