The rich take the most out of society, so they should give the most back. Most of them don't actually create an awful lot, they're just parasites. Put their taxes up until they all disappear to asset-strip someone else's companies and gamble with someone else's banks.
What is worth the cost of light pollution? I mean, what do we gain from having millions of lights shining into the air, that we couldn't have with dimmer, more focussed lights?
What benefits to we derive from floodlights shining up at monuments all night, or supermarkets saturating their car parks, turning the sky orange?
When you phone the taxi to take you to the airport, do you ask what sort of car they're sending? Because you're more likely to die in that than the plane.
This is the danger of communism. Obviously, on a Boeing, Tom Cruise would have guided the plane to safety with PURE AMERICAN FREEDOM(TM).
As passengers, we should have the right to ask whether we're putting our lives in the hands of a computer rather than the battle-tested pilot sitting up front, and we should have right to deplane if we don't like the answer."
Dubai has no taxes, maybe you could move there. Of course, with no education system you'll have to go through the expense and hassle if importing your entire workforce.
But hey, maybe there's a reason that every single developed first-world country has taxes and public services, and every country that doesn't is a shit-hole.
Mario 64 is probably one of the best 3d platformers made. Not that I think 3d platformers work at all, but that one at least had simple, enjoyable gameplay and looked nice.
College is the sandbox where you can be a fuckup like this and not have it haunt you for life.
I'd say it haunts you when you're forty years old and working as a shelf-stacker at Walmart, being ordered around by the manager you roomed with at college who actually got his degree.
This may be off-topic, but I'd say that pizza is the LCD. Some people might not like the spiciness of Indian, the greasyness and MSG of Chinese, or the dodgy originals of a donner kebab, but a pizza is pretty much just bread with stuff on, a half-sandwich if you will. Everyone likes bread, and everyone must like at least one of cheese, meat and vegetables, so pizza is something that anyone can enjoy.
If you're not hungry, you can just have a slice rather than having to order a full meal, and with a few different pizzas, everyone's tastes are covered. And pizza is the most suited to eating cold in the morning.
A lot of the posters at Slashdot don't seem to have considered the family angle. Carseats are freaking HUGE and it's sometimes hard to fit them in a sedan.
This is utter trash. Unless your kids are morbidly obese, you should be able to fit three in the back easily.
And your point about the move to SUVs wasn't because there was regulation, it's because there were holes in the regulation. A flat fuel tax would eliminate those holes.
In which case, people will have to buy stuff from near where they live rather than flying it in from two thousand miles away. Instead of Chinese imports, people would have to buy goods made domestically in places with environmental and labour legislation.

So would Canadians be referred to as Europeans, considering they're members of the ESA?

Maybe because only Republicans are slimy enough to be car salesmen.
Switzerland is a member of CERN you tit.
Would slashdot be improved by goatse ascii-art, GNAA, or that story about the dirty old gardener who fucks young boys?
You don't use the laptop you steal, you sell it down the pub or gut it for parts.
Amateur.
Yeah Italian food, it doesn't get any healthier than a big bowl of starch drowning in oil, covered in greasy cheese.

I think that's less to do with MMO addiction and more to do with homosexuality.
What do you expect, after the computer has allowed Youtube to turn the Prime Minister into a laughing stock?

I don't see anything wrong with voluntary taxes. It means less to pay for those of us who know the rules of the road.
He said 'people who started their character yesterday', i.e. they have never played the class before.
What sort of lame-ass biker goes slow enough for cars to tailgate him?
Why don't they just put a speed camera up there then? Everyone who goes past at 80 gets a $200 fine. They'd soon learn the lesson.
I think the difference is, no-one in Britain is advocating laws based on the opinions of Pitt the Younger.

Yeah, the number of miles driven in the US went down for the first time in decades. What a disaster...
Keep the prices up longer, people might stop living in McMansions in exurbs fifty miles from where they work.
