    Cool, a space that can be built for a few thousand $ that rents for $300-$400/HR!

    It isn't healthcare.gov, it's CoverOregon.com, Oregon's own bungled system that only somebody who wants their identity stolen would fill out the "Download this 19 page PDF, fill it out, and mail it to us" "working website".

    Though, you may be right- considering what is NOT working at CoverOregon, seems to be the part that links to Healthcare.gov

    Being original is what causes error. I'd rather be right.

    Lack of pay and substandard working conditions is the definition of the H1-b visa job.

    Only if you're so naive that you've bought the lie. I no longer believe in the full time offer.

    1. 2. and 2.?

    Let's renumber to 1, 2, 3. 1 is utterly impossible to find, because companies don't even offer contract-to-hire until they've already burnt through the H1-Bs and the project is already 6 months late when you start. 2. I haven't had vacation time offered in any position for over 7 years now. Not even the so-called "permanent" positions. 3 is a very smart idea indeed, and I'll be using it in my next job search.

    Any company offering a 4 month "trial contract" is usually lying about hiring permanently, and I don't submit my resume for such short-term contracts. Even if I did, I consider any offer of permanent employment to be a lie at this point, and I'd have my next gig lined up before the end of the 4 months (and would likely leave in the 3rd).

    Fucking when you don't want kids is criminal negligence, period. It's no different than getting high.

    Extreme poverty increasing reproduction rates is a feature, not a bug. It increases the chances of the entire family being removed from poverty by maximizing the chances of having an extraordinarily successful member of the family. Which is exactly why wealthy people want to use draconian population control techniques on the poor.

    Depends on the condom. Anywhere from 2-40 sexual encounters out of 100 will result in infection.

    Sick people who know they are sick with a sexually transmitted disease, and then have sex anyway, ARE GUILTY OF MURDER. Doesn't matter if they are homo or hetero.

    Wish I had mod points, that is easily the best analysis of the existence of religion I've seen yet.

    I would point out something though- the Christian Fanatics during the Crusades were reacting to 600 years worth of attacks by religious fanatic Islamic extremists- and they failed because they were less fanatical than their counterparts. In a war of fanaticism, the crazy always wins.
