in which they prevented hundreds if not thousands of others from profiting because they worked the system in such a way that guaranteed the laws of supply and demand didn't affect their business?
You mean, because these people actually work for a living? If they were ant-competitive vulture capitalists, then it would not just be okay, but the desired result.
what international standards? saudi arabia? malaysia?
How about by Republican standards. Obama has gone far to the right of Reagan and both Bush's, and Hillary will be more of the same. You're smarter than an Obamabot, right? Ignore the words coming out of his mouth and pay attention to what he does.
All those benefits attach(ed) to a married couple, because society had an expectation upon that married couple to have children and stay together to raise them.
Because churches refused to wed the elderly or infertile couples? Concern trolls never did figure out an answer for that one, did you? Well, you wont have to worry about that any more.
Time to un-ask the question - instead: Why do we let the government write these social contracts in the first place?
Why is this Concern only mentioned in the context of marriage equality? Marriages have been a civil contract for a very long time - religion only gets involved if a church is hosting a wedding.
People should write their own contracts.
Because everyone has thousands of dollars to spend on attorneys to do the same job of a $30 marriage license from the local courthouse?
You want to deny religious freedom, you want to force people to agree with you and your position. You claim to be the example of tolerance, yet you are intolerant of other's views
You can explain who's forcing you to marry someone of the same gender, or explain why you're not a sophist for acting as if that was the case.
But one thing often said here by those in favor of continuing with the TMT is that the ancient Hawaiians themselves, as master celestial navigators, would have readily embraced something that advanced scientific knowledge. Is the idea of the TMT out of line with Hawaiian spiritual practice? As I understand it, not at all.
Tautologies are neat that way. Ancient Greeks were great at mathematics...so modern day residents of Athens shouldn't complain if a nuclear power plant is built on the Parthenon! To supply energy to people who don't even live in the city!
Except the Hawaiians aren't a bunch of willfully ignorant racists, unlike the dumbfuckers you're referring to. Protip: you're as free today as you were last month to fly a symbol of oppression and chattel slavery, even if your state government isn't doing it for you.
Why does the government even need a "definition of marriage" when things got along just fine for a Very Long Time without any governmental involvement in marriage whatsoever?
You mean when wealthy men could take multiple 13 year old brides?
Keep in mind that America's acquisition of Hawaii was no more the only valid then was Russia's recent acquisition of Crimea.
Nonsensical comparison, as a superiority of the Hawaiian population did not vote to be incorporated into the United States. And there was no illegal coup backed by the U.S. against the democratically elected government of Hawaii.
Assange offered to return to Sweden years ago if the government promised not to hand him over to the United States for "intelligence crimes", which even propagandist Rei admits they aren't supposed to do.
Sweden has never made such a promise, which is why Assange was granted asylum, and why you're an authoritarian bootlicker.
Not for their Q/A team at the same time they've been prepping for a major release, it's not. It was rather more specific than a vague "Microsoft has had layoffs".
It is certainly not the job of every poster to anticipate how uninformed you are and then provide links to help you combat your own ignorance.
It's not my job to go along with your strawman, as the only one blathering on about "anticipation" is you. Now where are all those citations proving that you do not in fact have sex with goats? Or are you always this "lazy"?
it cannot harm, but it can help thanks to the placebo effect, therefore its use is allowed.
That sidesteps the issue of predatory "providers". If your child has a brain tumor and you read online that a regime of putting hot rocks on her back, covered in dog piss, will lead to remission, you don't have that much financially to lose when it fails. Some homeopathic "healer" offers to do that for a discount sum of $5000 - that's predatory. Because if you are desperate to save your child's life, you will do anything and everything to do just that.

And when market consolidation means the regulation-free monopoly DGAF about it's reputation, passengers, pedestrians, or you?

Or you could pull your head out of Ayn Rand's zombified ass. Just a suggestion.

Except they aren't. Remember your grade school civics and that "separate but equal" is never actual equal?
Except for that whole 4th Amendment thing, and their job being limited to signals intelligence.
That will happen when the U.S. spends ten years or more overthrowing governments (or trying to), even if they are democratically elected.
Your tired apologia for Big Brother is nauseating.
England was tapping the entirety of French communications in 1900?
If you think the Vatican having guards makes them equal to the U.S. military because they both have guns, sure.
Because most people aren't idiots.
Nah. Hillary is a serious candidate, with her media and party backing.

Equal Protection Clause. Just Google it.

Then Sweden should have let it be about the rape charges and told Assange he wouldn't be deported faster than Agiza and Zery.
They haven't.

Homeopathy is not physically addictive - cigarettes and drugs (that aren't pot) are. What's not working here is your analogy.
Which is...drumroll....an example of "selling medicine under false pretenses". You're reinforcing his point, not countering it.
