Realistic, readily available sexbots will end war and crime and hate. Trust me. I have deduced that most world problems stem from too few people having a good fuck on a regular basis.
i read "Battlestar By Proxy" Actually, in my reading of many message boards, I'm starting to wonder if it isn't a real syndrome. I mean, I hate Bush and think he has really broken a lot of things, but there's people out there who think we are living in a complete police state, and that they are one issue of Wired away from a trip to Gitmo.
and dietCoke shot out my nose Wow. I have powers! Have you called the Pope? Oh, wait, you were drinking Diet Coke when this happened?
It doesn't matter what you or anyone else thinks I need to live. Maybe I want to retire early and do other things with my life other than work 60 hours a week. I'm no Objectivist (I avoid any fixed ideology) but they have a point when they ask if a man is entitled to the sweat of his brow or however the saying goes. They didn't make that up for Bioshock.;-)
And to be blunt: you want to reduce crime? Free abortions to all, no questions asked, no age limit. I joke sometimes when I say they should be available in sidewalk kiosks, but only a little. I'm afraid many of the truths in this world are uncomfortable, but we have to accept them.
Also, the already poor don't really pay many income taxes. That's what baffles me when some on the Left call for higher gas and sales taxes. Those hit the poor more than anybody.
Actually, I'm sorry if I sounded angrier than I was. I've had a bad week. And I'm just so tired of everything being so broken, and then everyone wanting me to pay to "fix it" when I know we're just going to get more broken stuff. I'm tired and old and I just want to move to Costa Rica or Belize and relax with tequila and whores.
I, like many Americans, am ghastly concerned with how my government spends money. Define "many". Most don't seem to give a damn because it's generally someone else's money.
they couldn't burn all this cash. I'm guessing you are a recent immigrant? Welcome to the USA, where the government can burn through an arbitrarily large amount of money in an arbitrarily small span of time.
spinners on their pocket protectors I totally want to spread that as a meme.
the author clearly has his tinfoil underpants and armadillo hat on.
I call it Battlestar Syndrome. It's like Munchausen Syndrome (there's also Battlestar By Proxy Syndrome), except instead of trying to draw attention or sympathy, they wish to be seen as some sort of rebel ("a rag tag rebel fleet") fighting against some shadowy conspiracy. They actually thing the US is now the worst fascist dictatorship ever to exist, and that the creepy Half Life G-Man is tracking their comic book and grocery purchases with 50 special agents and six supercomputers deep beneath the Earth's crust.
Oh boy. Here comes some more modding down by folks who can;t take a joke.
You "rationalized" it with a mythical person making $100 billion a year. You really think that's where the cutoff is going to be? It always starts out high (people making millions), but when the government finds that doesn't bring in enough, they lower the bar. And lower it. And lower it. It got down to $60K a year last time they made the claim. I made $170,000 last year, but I should be just fine keeping $1,700, right?
You have to remember in the days of 70% brackets there were a lot of tax deductions and tax shelters. When the upper brackets got cut, most of those went away with home mortgage interest being one of the few remaining. Go ahead and buy one of those big tax guides that are for sale this time of year. Look at what can be deducted. There's isn't shit left.
What the current Left wants to do raise the brackets back without any deductions or protections. But details like this, and many other layers of reality, are just invisible to people like you. Give you a good slogan and a catchy chant and some classic class warfare rhetoric, and you're a happy camper. A "useful idiot" as the saying goes.
As it is, I probably paid more in taxes than a lot of folks here even grossed only to see it squandered on war and waste and endless bullshit. And now you want me to pay more money down multiple black holes to assuage your guilty conscience of... whatever? Flat out: Fuck you. Keep your grubby hands out of my wallet.
That being said, anybody earning that much is cheating the system somehow...
Ah. Now we've tossed "guilty until proven innocent" into the mix. Swell. Will we taking the guillotines out of storage, too?
Do you think there's a bunch of people who make less than $90,000 and then an empty void until you get people making a $50 million a year? You're just another nothing who has bought into the whole class warfare claptrap.
The Internet may be the best tool for Darwinism to come along since toys with swallowable parts and backyard pools. Why not just let evolution run its course?
Yeah, the questions could have been better. What's the point of a MaryJane question to someone with known Libertarian leanings?
I would have liked a nuclear power question. Even Obama came out in favor of nuke power, or at least revisiting the current state of the art. Unfortunately, he'll tax me at a 99% rate to pay for it.
WIll they serve Pizza Pizza or Panda Panda on the ISS? They can play Puyo Puyo in their off hours. They can train the people people at the new training center in Walla Walla. Maybe they'll see Jar Jar. OK, I'll stop.
You know, I had a discalimer that I was kidding, but I thought, no, the rash of people taking my silly posts (and themselves) WAY to fucking seriously must have been an anomoly, so I deleted it.
Guess I was wrong. The dumbass brigade is here to stay. The geek community never used to be so anchored by ideology. Used to be everyone was open for a good potshot. Ah well, the world moves on... and downward...
I mean, you can make Monopoly a lot easier to play and simpler to learn if you ditch hotel and house building, the rent for each property is the same, and instead of rolling the dice to move you move one space each time on your turn, Ah, Monopoly: Karl Marx Edition. I hear Hillary plays this a lot on the campaign trail.:-)
but would it be fun? If your character could be randomly attacked by profit breathing dragons and hordes of evil, selfish productive people, maybe.

This almost sounds like a diss of Lego, and if it is, I'm going to have to ask them to step outside.
Japan will wipe the floor with the others. They have giant robots, demon warriors, rampaging tentacle sex monsters and Action Bastard. And the little girls of the sniper & assassination teams will thin out the competition before the real battle starts.
India has that eight armed deity and the elephant headed guy, I suppose, but, nah... Japan in one round.
I spent all day today tracking down the reason why one of our lab XP machines would only respond with "Access Denied!" to any attempt to log in remotely. A web search produced at least four dozen distinct possibilities from simple sharing settings to obscure security flags you need a team of digital Sherpas to even find
*My* problem turned out to be one of the really obscure ones, and by sheer luck it was the second one I tried or I'd be working this tomorrow as well. The problem with *IT* is that the dominant OS is a deliberately obfuscated pile of week old baboon jism.
I had to use RegEdit last week to make Visio behave the way I wanted to. WTF is that? Is that supposed to be even remotely sane? And this week it's reverted back to its old behavior for no known reason.
