you'll find that those regions of the world where children are not allowed to mature before being forced to act like adults are far worse off than places like the west.
I don't see any reason one can't keep a child-like mind while still being financially responsible and dependable.
Greetings! My daddy used to be the nigerain minizter for candies and in my house I have a very enourmus jar of sweets. Unfortunatly this jar is guarded by my big brother, but if you give me ten bucks I will bribe him to open it for me... er us and I will share them with you.
I forget the exact wording, but it goes something like: "Humans invented war, the M25 and Windows while the dolphins were just playing in the water and eating fish. On the other hand, the dolphins considered themselves more intelligent - for precisely the same reasons".
If that's the case, these should be called "infra-portables". As in less than portable, or lower portabilty. Particularly when compared to a fridge, an unconscious horse or a medium-sized country.
would imagine that the plane was recording enormous amounts of data, both video and otherwise.
I don't see why any of that data's much help to the Chinese supreme people's military defence command. They probably know where their warships are, how many aircraft are stationed at each base etc. Or at least they'd know who to call to find out.
Don't become a coder with those naming conventions. I'm reliably informed that there are letters of the alphabet beyond B that you could have used. Or do you just like sounding like a Canadian?
You went to a room filled with "climate change experts." By this very definition, you're talking about people who believe in global warming ("climate change").
You're right. Just like auditors[1] suspect there's fraud, lawyers[2] reckon you're probably guilty and radiologists[3] are totally sure before you even hobble into the hospital that you've got a broken leg.
Seems I was right about your comprehension skills. I didn't quiote any rankings at all. Do you think this site is populated by two people - yourself and everyone else?
Rankings are not based, in virtually any way, on teaching.
Then they aren't very relevant at least to the the majority who are going there to be taught.
some people choose to start their career by (gasp!) working for someone who has capital that is protected as private property.
No they don't. They do that because they don't have any capital, so they can't choose to have other people working for them.
The property owner pays them so that, one day, the person that started out with no property is able to acquire some.
No they don't. They pay them because otherwise the workers wouldn't contribute their labour.
Given the chance I suspect that most of the workers would prefer to simply take the capitalists' property. Let's face it, that's what usually happens when law & order breaks down through the lack of force to maintain it. (New Orleans, L.A. riots, Iraq...).
This is about as much that is worth replying to. Unfortunately, this pretty much proves you do not understand why Universities are successful nor why some are considered "top" and others are not.
Research != teaching. If I'm going there to be taught, I want to be taught by someone who knows his stuff but is also good at teaching it and interested in doing so.
Perhaps you were taught English comprehension by a very talented researcher?
When a hands-off, rational minded government or political climate takes place, economies do better.
You can't get much more hands-off than Somalia.
When a meddling, irrational government takes seed, then that's what you get.
You seem to be guilty of the fallacy of the excluded middle. There is such a thing as a government that intervenes gently, and only where necessary, or only where it can act more efficiently for all than they could do acting separately.
Well, in theory at least.
Economies are based on the decisions of its citizens...
In Soviet Russia... nah. I'll only get modded down.
If Bank of America was owned by its employees, then their salaries would show up on the "income" side of the accounting ledger rather than the "expenses" side
No it wouldn't. They both involve money transfers out of the business, so they're both expenditure. The fact that dividends would be being paid to the same people who are recieving salaries is irrelevant from an accounting point of view.

PETE? IS THAT YOU?
Did I? Only if you're the kind of smartass who, when asked if you would like tea or coffee, answers "yes".
Is there something significant about the 50 meg limit, such as the capacity of those business-card size CDs? Or is it just a nice round number?
I forget the exact wording, but it goes something like: "Humans invented war, the M25 and Windows while the dolphins were just playing in the water and eating fish. On the other hand, the dolphins considered themselves more intelligent - for precisely the same reasons".
And I for one welcome our new cetacean overlords.
Sigh. When they're trying to speak English, I mean.
If that's the case, these should be called "infra-portables". As in less than portable, or lower portabilty. Particularly when compared to a fridge, an unconscious horse or a medium-sized country.
I've found Italian and Spanish people often pronounce it like that.
A) Pick the ball up and run with it.
B) Change the shape of the ball to oval.
C) Start a fight.
I guess "all three of the above" is an option too. Do you think it would catch on?
[1] Financial accounting experts.
[2] Assholes. But legal experts.
[3] X-ray experts.
Whatever that is.
No they don't. They pay them because otherwise the workers wouldn't contribute their labour.
Given the chance I suspect that most of the workers would prefer to simply take the capitalists' property. Let's face it, that's what usually happens when law & order breaks down through the lack of force to maintain it. (New Orleans, L.A. riots, Iraq...).
Hi, Richard. How's things coming along with the Hurd?
Perhaps you were taught English comprehension by a very talented researcher?
In other words, the difference between libertarians and anarchists is that the former own property.
You seem to be guilty of the fallacy of the excluded middle. There is such a thing as a government that intervenes gently, and only where necessary, or only where it can act more efficiently for all than they could do acting separately.
In Soviet RussiaWell, in theory at least.
Could you forward me the memo? I mean the one about the only foreign country being India.
I worked in the US on an H1-B and I sure as heck aren't Indian, neither were any of the others.
