    Nope, I am talking about storing nuclear waste in my basement. It will leak after I am dead.

    I have no offspring, nor family. There is no other owner, no one will buy property housing leaking nuclear waste barrels.

    It will begin to contaminate the ground water.

    So even though no one will ever be able to use the land again you are ok with it?

    Try to remember that one day it will cross onto someone else's property, but I will be dead by then.
    Those steel barrels I keep all that nuclear waste in won't last forever, but since I will be dead before they burst I am ok.

    Great, now I can buy land, pollute the shit out of it and ruin for future generations. All without a worry for the law.

    Which means they will just choose to only pollute the water ways of the poor, or just make it hard to prove it is them doing it.

    Privatizing the waterways would make this worse.

    Why is the waste water treatment plant accepting waste they cannot treat?

    Don't accept it and make the driller send it to someone who can handle it if you can't. Seems simple enough to me.

    Because Mom does not have a basement or has kicked you out already.

    Considering that I can't do anything about it, yeah.

    If the store wants to give me a a 5% discount I would gladly pay cash. It is not illegal to do that nor charge more to cover fees, those are contract issues.

    I think the border issue is a big deal.

    I know people who used to take Levi's jeans to Europe to resell them since they cost so much more there than in North America. People had been prosecuted for this by claims of trademark infringement, which is not the same but similar.

    Trademark infringement is what shut down re-importers of cigarettes that were popular in the early 2000s.

    Not just for email, the server could be used for a great many services. The effort is a one time thing.

    How is postfix + courier imap subpar? It supports push, and sends email. What else is there? You can add caldav if you really want. If you want it all in a fancy and simple to use package Zimbra is free for the first 5-10 users. That even has activesync.

    You could buy hosting for $2/month too, but I thought you wanted total control, not vendor lockin of any kind.

    Yeah drone, that is what I am, sure you keep thinking that.

    Since the store is not giving me a 4% discount for using cash, I don't see how I should worry about that.

    If they want to give me a 30 day free loan and the cash register prices are the same I guess I am ok with them making money.

    I already covered that.

    It means this "God" offers no useful explanation of anything. You just moved the problem of who created X one step over. That sort of reply is no different than me saying "The universe just exists, there is no time before the universe since without it time does not exist."

    I am pretty sure their customers have real world addresses too, and letters could be sent there. They could also ask for an email account.

    If my ISP ever sends an email to their provided email account I will never know. I have never and will never log into it.

    There are lots of pay for email providers, or you could just setup your own. Not exactly difficult to setup postfix and courier-imap on a box at rackspace for $10/month. You can use the same machine for lots of other stuff.

    If you have faith you don't need a rational explanation. That is the whole point of it.

    In 1998 maybe that was possible, go look around what tuition costs these days.

    The university I attended charges something like $33,000 a year. A relatively cheap state school might go for $10,000 a year. Still not the kind of money a minimum wager earner is ever going to have to spare.

    When your income is low these deductions don't really help since you are already getting most of your money refunded.

    Student loans are not dischargeable via bankruptcy though, and these loans would be.

    Why?

    This is a loan you can get rid of via bankruptcy, unlike student loans. For a young 20 something bankruptcy is not that big a deal. They won't be buying a house for nearly a decade anyway, will want the freedom to move and likely have credit card debt to discharge if they can as well.
