Yes, and the people who first broke such rules nearly went to prison. That was your parent poster's point. If you want to be safe, kowtow to the powers that be like the obseqious peon they want you to be.
So what you're saying is that the only negative feedback mechanism in communism is political intervention and the only negative feedback mechanism in capitalism is political intervention, therefore capitalism is better?
1 person per year has been caught. We also know that the analysts are nearly totally unsupervised. How many do you think were not caught? 100? 1000? It's certainly a lot more than have been caught.
I would hope so since that's what he was referring to. What worries me is that it took this long in the comments for someone to reference "Trusting Trust." That should have been the obvious problem from the end of the first sentence of the summary.
During the civil war, it didn't secede, instead waiting for the feds to pass appropriate legislation to decide the whole issue, like how that whole "representative democracy" thing is supposed to work
That is the most absurd characterization of Civil War Missouri I've ever heard. Missouri was the scene of the most intense internecine violence of the entire war. The state didn't secede, true, but the neighbors were murdering each other in their beds over it. I would not call that "how that whole "representative democracy" thing is supposed to work."
Someone was clearly brain damaged by high school. MOST literature contains sex. Certainly nearly all of the good stuff. This is because most humans have sex in their lives. It makes it important in narratives about humans. Joyce's Ulysses includes a guy masturbating in the bushes while perving on a cripple and a vivid description of a rimjob. Gravity's Rainbow is basically a 760 page dick joke. The Sound and the Fury is all about how women's liberation (promiscuity in Faulkner's mind) affected Southern men. McCarthy's Child of God has graphic descriptions of necrophilia. Very few major novels since the 1950s have been vague about sex. Even before then it was almost always there (what did you think the entire conflict of The Sun Also Rises was, or Dorian Gray, or Whitman's poetry?), it just wasn't as explicit or graphic.
Swamp gas refracting the light from Venus? Definitely not a supernova though. Those last much longer than a second. One that flashed that brilliantly would have lasted a long while and would have been widely reported. For comparison, SN 1054, which formed the Crab Nebula, was visible to the eye for two years (according to Chinese records).
Corporations cannot make "rules" and force you to follow them. If you don't like a corporations tactics or anything else they do, stop doing business with them.
Of course they can. Have you never heard of a cornered market? If the same conglomerate owns all grocery stores in my city, then I can do business with them or starve. Worse, if all the providers in an area collude against their customers (and they frequently do) they don't even need to own all of it themselves.
Economic violence is no different than physical violence.
Or did you think the railroad owners got rich through being better than their competitors?
Many of his conclusions (vis-a-vis the outcome of industrialisation) ARE good. It's his solutions to those conclusions that haven't worked out so well (class consciousness isn't a thing, and it never will be as long as our social intelligence is limited by our primate brains).
Only because you don't know anything about American history. The native-born population has ALWAYS been anti-immigrant, all the way back to the Revolutionary War. It's just that the government is more efficiently reflecting that prejudice than it has at most times in the past.
1) People are not able to effectively oppose the leaders with zero consequences. There is a big difference between publicly and effectively. 2) Obama is not the leader. Neither is Boehner or Reid, etc.
Slashdot Mirror
Sure, if they're both consenting adults, why the fuck not?
Really, what difference could it possibly make to you if they did or didn't? Is your life affected in any possible way?
Yes, and the people who first broke such rules nearly went to prison. That was your parent poster's point. If you want to be safe, kowtow to the powers that be like the obseqious peon they want you to be.
Or, you know, fuck 'em with a rusty shiv.
So what you're saying is that the only negative feedback mechanism in communism is political intervention and the only negative feedback mechanism in capitalism is political intervention, therefore capitalism is better?
Color me unconvinced.

On Slashdot? Yeah, actually...
It's unfortunate, but what do you expect from a bunch of (mostly) hairless apes?
Thanks for that image, asshole.
...no.
The US has an independent press that's always critical of the government, no matter which politcal party is in power, like the New York Times.
Was...was that a joke?
That reminds me of a very old hack described in http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html

Do you always taste test your tears?
You do realize that those young'uns you deride aren't old enough to have had a phone last 3 years, right?
We live in a democratic Republic
Bwahahahaha! Ahhahahahahaha! Oh ahahahaha!
That was a good one. Tell another.

I'm pretty it is just bad writing though
Speaking of bad writing...

Do you mean an airburst over a city like this ?
That was Argentina. Poor Buenos Aires.
But then who will scrutinize the scrutinizer of the scrutinized?
It's scrutiny all the way down!

Freed of government control and propaganda
Ahahahaha! Ahahahaha!
Who in the fuck do you think decides what is in those ebooks and learning apps? Who do you think approves the Pearson rep's scripted answers?
Only because you don't know anything about American history. The native-born population has ALWAYS been anti-immigrant, all the way back to the Revolutionary War. It's just that the government is more efficiently reflecting that prejudice than it has at most times in the past.
Because sometimes they're the same person? (Seinfeld anyone?)
Two things:
1) People are not able to effectively oppose the leaders with zero consequences. There is a big difference between publicly and effectively.
2) Obama is not the leader. Neither is Boehner or Reid, etc.
