OPEC Is done man. Seriously, fracking has done that.
Nevermind that the Saudis have been putting the hurt on fracking by flooding markets with oil, in a bipartisan effort with the U.S. to hurt Iran, Russia, and Venezuela. A flood that will soon lead to a second oil crash in the U.S. if it doesn't stop soon. If fracking a well ceases to be profitable if oil is under $90 a barrel, they wont do it.
If the greedy rich won't take their own money, simply because of the tax, that's your best indicator that the tax is too damn high.
Or....our best indicator you're in outer space. If all these corps paid all their taxes, they'd still be some of the richest corps in the history of the world, Mr. Galt.
Do you call China a democracy because it's officially the "People's Republic of China"? If Chomsky called himself right wing, or Cheney said he was a socialist, would that make it so?
Again, radical left would mean seizing not just the means of production, but property as well. Syriza isn't proposing anything remotely close to that.
.....but the freaking out over one Jordanian pilot takes the cake. If you don't remember the phosphorous dumped on Fallujah, how about the tons of napalm dropped over Vietnam?
Stop hiding the facts. Hell, just read the damn article.
O RLY? Second paragraph of the damn article:
In a charter precedent that will go down in the history books as Carter vs. Canada, the court unanimously struck down the ban on providing a doctor-assisted death to mentally competent but suffering and "irremediable" patients.
Since we're buds, I know most of you available brainpower is consumed by keeping your heart and lungs moving, so I'll do you a solid and link the definition. So, yeah, you're gonna see Drano prescribed for an ulcer before you see suicide prescribed for depression.
This is history and all you are doing is showing that you do not know it and do not care how ignorant you look when letting everyone else know the same about you.
All the blathering butthurt on being called out on your latest musings isn't going to make you any less full of it, Dumbass. How'd you launch your self into outer space with these false conflations, anyway? Did Mama Dumbass yell at you when you were a kid:
"Be careful with that paring knife! Right now you're just cutting apples, but the next thing we know you might be running around trying to scalp indians!!!!"
"Be careful on your first date! Right now you're just going to see some chick flick, but I don't wanna turn on the news in five years and see you're the next Ted Bundy!!!!"
"Be careful with that air rifle! Right now you're shooting at paper targets, but the next thing we know you could be buying real firearms and murdering 80 kids like that psycho in Norway!!!!"
Makes as much sense as the crap you've been writing over this thread.
I dont disagree to a degree, but at what point do the middle class stand up and say enough is enough. no more welfare, make people work for the state if on welfare
Indeed, when is enough enough? When will people who work for a living, who stopped believing in the tooth fairy decades ago, go on believing the fairy tale that people choose to be poor and stay poor?
Im in no way blaming the poor, I was poor once, and not long ago. just a few months actually. I busted my butt to get out of poverty
Any tingling in your Spidey Self Awareness?
40 grand a year in NY is poor by any standard
Nearly eight grand more than the Bronx median income.
but i would rather make people work for their handout than simply give out handouts.
The AGW scaremongering is a huge enabler for those who wish for more/expanded government power and higher taxation.
Who's that - Bush who invaded Iraq for it's oil, or Obama who opened the eastern seaboard for drilling, and has spent years bragging about how we drill more oil than we can transport?
How do I answer such a question from someone who doesn't even know that only the Legislative Branch, e.g. Congress, has the power to create, abolish, raise, or lower federal taxes, not the Executive Branch, e.g. the POTUS?
So you're dropping the canard that government likes AGW to raise taxes then? In any case, you might not want to throw stones in your ignorant glass house, as it's the Executive Branch that writes the Federal Budget and submits it to Congress.
Or, ditch the "nothing to see here, move along" pablum. In the 80's, cops weren't armed with military hardware, and the FBI wasn't running around trying to turn activists into terrorists with paid informants. In the 90's, the NSA might have liked to spy on everyone's communications (see Clipper Chip) but most people didn't have email, much less cell phones, much less Twitter or Facebook.
HS and college parties have always had narcs.
And the police department's with limited resources always had to send an actual person to do said narcing. Now they can skip all that by pulling an automated report from their friendly neighborhood Fusion Center, launder the illegally gained "intelligence" with parallel construction, and start shopping for a new squad car with asset forfeiture before the DA even brings an indictment.
Atillia Dimedici likes to have sex with goats. Don't believe me....use Google! It's your responsibility to disprove any bullshit asserted on the internet, and yours alone.
Including even more batshit insane delusional bullshit. A doctor is going to tell you to drink Drano for an ulcer before he recommends suicide as a treatment for depression.
What is assistance? Asking advice on the most painless, quick and reliable way of doing something?
Why not look at what other countries have done?
If you're able bodied enough to actually do the work, how do you do it reliably?
Easy: nitrogen asphyxiation. More or less infallible, and not only does it not cause any pain, it actually gives the subject a sense of euphoria before death. BBC did an entire documentary on nitrogen asphyxiation in the context of replacing random drug cocktails for executions. Death penalty fetishists oppose it, though, because of the aforementioned sense of euphoria....prolonged suffering is a feature, not a bug, for them.
Sorry again to tell you you don't know what you are talking about.
Do you say that to everyone who disagrees with you? Then there's the fact that you're wanting to manage to the exception (shut down the whole system rather than deal with the rare possibility for abuse), rather than managing the exception (put systems in place to catch abusers).
All those Federal subsidies were already there, thus creating the environment that Wal-Mart could survive in. Then they move in, take advantage of it, and get rich. If not an Arkansas hillbilly, then somebody would have.
but that is clearly surpassed by the stupidity of duct taping a box to a transportation chokepoint without telling the people who own and operate it
Was the box at least a cubic meter in size? Then it wasn't any kind of danger to that kind of infrastructure. You wouldn't think a pellet gun had the same kinetic force as an anti-materiel rifle, so why stress out over a shoebox sized cylinder?
...is because Apple made a similar "impossible to fulfill" deal with Corning 10 years ago. Or did you think Apple was secretly hoping to bankrupt that company as well, so it could lose money and a product with hype just to pick up some real estate on the cheap?
I suppose you could question whether or not its 'right' in a moral sense, but when SCOTUS says its the law, its the law. That's their entire role within the government.
Their role is support the system, with laughably contrived justifications if necessary. Like Bush v Gore, Florida v Reilly, or the recent one where cops aren't bound by the law if they claim ignorance of the law. SCOTUS is frequently 20 pounds of bullshit in a five pound sack.
How can the phrase "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" not be considered an endorsement of the right to personal ownership of weapons?
How can you love the second half of the 2nd Amendment but completely ignore the first half?
Why turn it into a race riot?
Why the faux butthurt in response to historical facts? The NRA was just fine and dandy with gun control laws, when they were pointed at the Black Panthers. The Deep State couldn't care less about your guns, as was proven for the nth time when none of the Clive Bundy fanboys who pointed guns at federal agents faced arrest, much less a federal pound-me-in-the-ass penitentiary. This coming from the same government that was prosecuting a journalist for "threatening" an FBI agent....on Youtube.
Reagan did not introduce the legislation, much less in response to anything.
Irrelevant. Total Information Awareness was proposed and shot down at the start of the Bush Administration, yet bulk data collection became routine after 911. That gun control laws were proposed before the Black Panthers arming themselves does nothing to change the fact that the legislation was hurried along when those "folks" decided to get "uppity" and take up weapons to defend themselves from racist cops.
you ARE aware that alot of the guns rights activists in the 60s were more about granting gun ownership for black folk right? A lot of "gun rights"
You ARE aware that's completely and utterly irrelevant to how the NRA and it's followers have acted for more than 30 years? Just as the Tea Party started on opposition to bank bailouts, but rapidly became nothing more than tools for the RNC.
Gun nuts are tools of the gun manufacturing industry, nothing more, nothing less. Think that's unfair, regale me with tales of defense funds set up by gun nuts for those who defend themselves from out of control cops with firearms.

So, Calvanist slavery it is then, regardless.
...it doesn't mean whatever it is you think it means.
"Radical left" would be seizing private property and nationalizing the means of production.
NOT staying on the Euro and vowing to pay back bank loans.
Who's that - Bush who invaded Iraq for it's oil, or Obama who opened the eastern seaboard for drilling, and has spent years bragging about how we drill more oil than we can transport?

Lose-lose, wingner.
It was sarcasm. The deniers can't be wrong, Canadian law must be wrong.
The people selling thermometers DGAF whether they're being bought by scientists working for NASA or scientists working for Koch - a sale is a sale.
Next canard?
You might want to read up on the DOJ threatening people with prosecution for violating TOS's from commercial sites.
Or, ditch the "nothing to see here, move along" pablum. In the 80's, cops weren't armed with military hardware, and the FBI wasn't running around trying to turn activists into terrorists with paid informants.

Pab. Lum.
A doctor is going to tell you to drink Drano for an ulcer before he prescribes suicide as a treatment for depression. So stuff the fearmongering BS.

You should realize you're living up to your UID again.
As much as early surgeons paid the way for Nazis making lamps from people, sure, if you're into eighteen dumbfucking levels of false conflation.

Which is a fallacy.
If the rent-seeker doesn't use it, they lose it.
How is it not.
She made you do it with her short skirt!
