So do you have a solution for the problems that will precipitate from this mixture? Or just a reaction? Perhaps you are just afraid that when these major elements of the chemical industry are compounded, that it will catalyze a reduction of competition?
I knew this article would have RMS supporters come out of the woodwork. Always remember, you get what you pay for. Except for when you got something for free. Or when you pay for something but don't get it.
Your insurance might cost more, or they might "encourage" you to use a different insurance company. And prospective employers might decide you're too sick to invest in. Or people might find out you have an STD, and declare you to be immoral or not want to date you. Life insurance companies might decide to charge you higher premiums, or if you're extra healthy they might send salesmen to try to convince you you're about to die. There's probably plenty more I can't think of.
a gun is a general purpose tool as well to anyone who understands them
Really? A gun is used mainly used for killing, for threatening to kill, and for practicing the skills necessary to use a gun to kill. Now, I'm not saying these are bad uses (eg hunting, self-defense, and target practice), but it really is a rather specialized tool that can do few other things.
A nailgun would probably be considered more general-purpose (because there's lots of uses for nailing two things together).
I studied logic under philosophy without a computer in sight. It's easy and it teaches you to understand other people's arguments... and how to find the holes in them. Sleigh of hand no longr works. If the wider population understood logic, politicians and ideologues would have a much harder time fooling the electorate.
Nope, sleight of hand still works. Who are you going to believe, me or some coward who can't even spell "sleight"?
It will be a blessed relief to get into a flame war between dog people and cat people, I'm fed up typing in the same old rants about guns and religions every month.
Seems to me that there's a disconnect in the way people think about programming versus thinking about math and logic. Might it make more sense to people to think logically and procedurally, then worry about applying that to a computer? Those skills are useful in life itself and are not limited to even mathematics disciplines, let alone computer programming.
A logical argument, but then maybe you have to teach someone logic before it'll convince them:-p
You're just sore because you don't want to admit you're probably just part of the really detailed graphics for Sid Meier's Civilization 781: Dawn of the Space Age. If the pimply faced teenager in his mother's basement were to zoom in on you right at this instant, he'd see a thought bubble over your head saying, "haha, this guy is crazy".
I do wish more religious people would read and understand their own holy book,
Trust me, you do not want people behaving as though they actually believe what their holy book says. What you want is people who pick the good parts of their holy book and conveniently ignore all the nasty parts.
Whenever you hear "patent troll", substitute in "patent reform activist". So a "patent reform activist" is promoting solar power while demonstrating the brokenness of the patent system.
I used to live in a place where the usual way to deal with speeding was to pay the standard bribe. If it was a bus, the bribe was bigger but the passengers would pitch in without complaint. As far as I can tell, that system worked very well for traffic violations and way better than the American system, where everyone is pretending they don't do bribes but instead they do it via crappy laws/policies and more inefficiently. Another similarity/difference is, there officers' salaries were reduced to account for the traffic violation income, while in the US police department budget is reduced to account for the traffic violation income.

Really? How is that little trick performed?
It's the principle of buoyancy; at higher pressures air is more dense and therefore you appear to weigh less. So at double atmospheric pressure you'd appear to weigh about 50-100 grams less. That, and you'd have an easier time breathing and more oxygen in your blood.

Odds are that religion predates humanity.
You may now touch the bride with your noodly appendage.
In that case, better ban cars too. And shoes. And machetes. Anything to make it harder for someone to chop up someone else, right?
Let's prevent them from harmlessly venting online.

Plus with all that driving, there's a good chance you'll get into an accident.

But will it filter out Trump supporters? He seems to be full of hate, and lots of people are terrified of him.
Besides, Trump has a way higher chance of messing up your life than some puny terrorist in some far-away desert.

Yes, fuck intrinsic altruism and basic fucking humanity, we need to make everything about money and how to motivate people with it.
The way a lot of charities work, they pay people money to do things that would have been considered altruistic if that person wasn't being paid.
It was all 100% the sacrificial lamb's fault.

How do you expect people to follow the law if those enforcing it are criminals?
Which country are you talking about?

$12.50 to get in?!? At those prices, it makes more sense to bribe the doorman to let you in on the down low.
Shouldn't they be recycling the environmental bill, rather than scrapping it?
If Jesus were alive today, the LAPD would send a letter to His family informing them that he might have a prostitution problem.
