Why is this modded insightful? The government should have the right to terminate any company for what their CEO says. That is a terrible idea. Not only is it a bad idea in principle, as it would surely be abused, it also would harm a lot of innocent people like employees and stockholders. There's no way, even by your standard of morality that every person who worked for Microsoft, or owned stock are immoral.
I attend a school that does a few unethical things, not all of them directly related to rankings. For starters they claim to only have only professors with Ph.D's, yet my CS professor only had a Masters. They also reported that only 2% of students transfer out of Furman. While that is technically true, they failed to mention that their trimester system makes transferring very difficult. After attending, and talking to many people, it seems that at least 25% would have transferred if had been easier to.
The other gripe I have is that they tell everyone "2 years of GERs to figure out what you want to do, then major in anything you want". That is unfortunately a straight up lie. I talked to a music professor and he said that to be a music major a person would have had to declare freshman year, and would have had to play since late middleschool. He said it would be completely impossible for any sophmore to get a music degree. Also, other majors like CS, and Chemistry are either very linear, or only offer a few courses each term, so it takes at least 3 years to complete the major.
This will be controversial but hear me through. Assuming he doesn't have any medical conditions that make it dangerous for him to take LSD, get him some. The basic idea behind this is the psychedilic helps him hit rock bottom, so he wants to change his life. It worked pretty well for treating alcoholism before LSD was banned.
Java doesn't let developers overload operators, but the language does anyways. It's frustrating that + is overloaded to mean add numbers and concatenate strings, but I'm not allowed to do something similar in my own programs.
The US already has de facto socialized healthcare. Hospitals can't turn away people who are about to die. That drives up the prices because most of the people that need emergency care are poor which means they can't afford healthcare, early treatment, and preventative treatment. Logically, the government should spend money on prevention (education, encouraging exercise, diets, condoms, etc.), but either doesn't spend the money, or doesn't spend it effectively (abstinence only education, bogus food pyramid etc.).
According to a lot of American's definitions free condoms is socialism, but that's socialism I can live with.
It's not a fluke, it's convergent evolution. To any problem there's a near infinite amount of bad solutions, but a finite amount of good solutions. This is why competent people solving a problem can come up with similar solutions without collaborating.
And they only have "control" when you give it to them in exchange for a benefit. If it's not a good deal, don't buy it.
Too bad all final goods that use a Monsanto product aren't labeled so that they can be boycotted. When I buy ham I have no way of knowing if it was fed Monsanto products or not. Likewise when I buy beans, I don't know if they were made with terminator technology or not.
For someone who thinks that what Monsanto is doing is wrong and harmful to the world, is there any organization whose primary mission is to stop Monsanto and companies like it? If not...
Furthermore, atheism failed that particular test, during that time in the desert (not that you should care, but Israel only became a desert after the muslims took it over, there were many pieces of lush forest available in Jesus' time and long after), as history relates, there was no shortage of atheists. In the christian case these people were not prosecuted by religious people (contrast with e.g. the islamic or buddhist cases where jihad and enslaving (not all that different concepts, really) had to do with disappearing atheists).
I've never heard of this, sources about existence of atheists and their actions in these time periods?
wmii all the say, I love tiling window managers. Not only that, but Ubuntu with wmii for the windower runs faster* on this old pentium 4 with 128mb of ram, then windows xp on my dual core 2gb ram laptop.
*By runs faster I mean applications open and close faster, and there's less stuttering.
America has thought crime laws too, they're called "hate crimes". If you kill someone because he fucked your wife, that's bad, and you'll go to jail. If you kill someone because he's black, and you hate black people, that's extra bad, and you'll spend more time in jail.
THAT God exists since the universe exists. However, I could also define God to be cheese, and say God exists so stop arguing over his existence, but that's missing the point that's not what people are arguing over. When people talk of God they normally mean an omnipotent being that takes personal interests in the lives of humans, and has revealed himself to others.
Sorry, but apriori truths are objectively true. For example p or not p is always a true statement. That is an objective truth. The definition of 3 is the third sucessor of 0.

So what? If you think the government can allocate resources better you're delusional.
There is no such thing as a funny april fool's joke. They all suck, whether in person or on the internet. Kicking a dead fetus is funnier.
Alternatively, God is created in man's image. I seem to recall something about triangles having a 3 sided god...
Wouldn't that imply predestination?
