What you say is ridiculous. Charity is what reduces the inequality. Even if you start off with a society that is perfectly equal, people can be made unequal by mistakes, accidents, and illness. Charity should be our best effort to rectify this.
SUVs are falling out of favor, and falling in sales. What will the leftists do when SUVs are rare? What will they target next? I'm guessing anything with an internal combustion engine, no matter how efficient. Or maybe cars without government-installed tracking devices or kill-switches.
3a. They rip out all the copper when they install, forever making your home totally inaccessible to traditional copper networks. Oh, and whether or not you have service with them, these bastages tromp all over your property, hack down all your trees, and leave the lumber lying on your lawn-- so they totally don't deserve any money.
I can imagine the quality of music and movies we would have if you could only count on being paid for them once. I think the new ticket price would be $100,000,000.
'Sticks and stones will break my bones,' the old nursery rhyme goes, 'but names will never hurt me.'
Well, that went out with political correctness thirty years ago. We no longer have the right to offend anyone, unless that person is a non-rich white male.
No, it's not, but apparently anti-capitalists think capitalism means being able to charge any price. That only happens when the pendulum swings too far in any direction: either an entirely unregulated monopoly, or a company given favors by a complicit and corrupt government.
You're right. 50 years ago, the GOP exploited black people and today, it's the Democrats who do so through social programs and politics that discourage them from success.
I know you love to tout your atheism like this guy brags about not having a TV, but injecting your belief into a discussion of rights only opens us to the dangerous question of, "if rights don't come from a god, then who do they come from?" The proper answer is that they are still self-evident, and thus aren't subject to the whims of men, but the claim of the despot and his lackeys is that they, of course, come from them.
The only reason AT&T can make up any price and get away with it, is because THERE IS NO COMPETITION
I do own a TV, so I'm subject to incessant commercials from Sprint touting their unlimited plan.

Tales of IT Idiocy

· Score: 4, Insightful
You forgot to add, "we are the 99%" and throw a bible at a cop.
No one works an Indian IT job where they are "literally starving in the streets", because they'll DIE. They'll do something else that has a better return: NOT DYING. I have an IT job and I don't worry about "exploiting" the third world because my job has nothing to do with what happens in the third world. I am not stealing bread out of the mouth of some Indian guy because I am able to buy sufficient food, clothing, and shelter for my household. Once people realize that life is not a zero-sum game, and that charity means selfless giving, we're just going to suffer from greed and class warfare.

A Republican tries to cut the fat out of the defense budget and he STILL gets criticized.
You don't know much.

That's OK. You've been handling my ass pennies.
Have a nice day, CITIZEN!

Don't cherry pick data in order to support your pet agenda.
They're made of MEAT?
So you like allowing police to observe your house from the air without a warrant?
It's frightening that someone modded that guy up. We must have the "how is babby formed" kid on here today.

I assume that would be perfectly OK, because they are totally against copyright.

If I forgot the key, bludgeoning me won't produce it. It might give me brain damage, so that key will be permanently irretrievable.
Still blaming this on Republicans? I didn't know Obama was on slashdot.

There are no laws preventing them from doing so. So why aren't they? Think about it.
Or go to the Sprint gym.
CANCER MAN!
Insightful tale... thanks for that.
