    That depends on where you work

  2. Now all you have to have is a good definition of what is pornographic. Personally I find gratuitous violence to be pornographic.

  3. And orbit coordinates

    I would say anyone who tries to further their education is not typically someone who expects something handed to them.

    So what if you shield companies from the consequences of their actions? If they mis-represent themselves, what they are selling you, and fail to fully disclose are they not in the wrong? Should they not suffer as well? Or do they get a free pass because they are a business?

    What's wrong with my reasoning? A person is seduced and lied to and it is their fault for everything? The ignorant and naive are exploited and that is good?

    Where exactly is my reasoning breaking down. Do tell...

    I've been saying it for a bit too. For the reasons you mentions. As well as illegal and unjust wars.

    Nice job blaming the victim there. That;s sort of like saying, "It was her mistake to enter a bar and have someone slip her a date rape drug, so the rapist should go free".

    Stop and consider that these people are (well duh!) uneducated and often first generation students. They have no one to train them on how to find a decent school. They often don't have a clue as to what questions to ask or how schools are rated.

    If exploiting the ignorant and naive is your idea of the proper functioning of a society then you do not belong in a civilized society.

    That's called firing people and turns into an employer/employee relationship.

    Because it impedes the supply of cheap Eastern European and refugee labor. They'll have to survive by *gulp* innovating and reducing the amount of hookers, coke, and trophy wives they buy.

    Don't forget to charge interest. If they are late charge them for it. At what ever the usury rate is. You are running a business after all.

  16. Why this obsession with productive? on Autonomous Vehicles Won't Give Us Any More Free Time, Says Study (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    We already have excess capacity. In addition, what is productive? Sending emails explaining the same points you explained in three other emails? Sitting through online meetings where the resolution is to have more meetings? Taking vacuous training courses for the resume?

    Screw productive, I'm sleeping. Just like I do now when I ride the bus.

    "Considering that Facebook is arguably the world's biggest marketing service, it actually is sort of important."

    There you go. Fixed that for you.

  18. and it only amounts to 30% of Q3 revenue. If extrapolation holds roughly 7.5% of annual revenue and I am sure a payment plan could be sorted out. Apple could even sell stock to cover it.

    And before you start screaming "gross not net" consider if you as a real actual live person is fined you pay it out of your net income, not your gross. If I get fined more than my annual income *I* do NOT get off of the hook.. Why shouldn't a corporation be held to a similar rule?

    And there lies the fallacy of trying to act as if corporations are people. They cannot be imprisioned and they can theoretically live forever. They CAN be put to death but I have never heard of it happening.
