    the german word "seit" means both "since" as "since 2005" and "for" as in "for some years".
    that's the explanation for that quirk you have noticed.

    people have no choice ini where they are born, true enough. but then again in any halwfay free country they can do the choice someday, and this is exactly the day when they have their full capacity. until then they have less rights and less duties anyway (and normally don't pay taxes).

    i am sorry i had to bring money to that equation, i also value human and civil rights a lot, but some ultra-egoists cannot understand it the other way. what i have tried to describe was pretty much the social contract of hobbes and rousseau.

    still, an individual living in a society benefits greatly from it, and taxes are how the individual does his part to benefit the society he lives in. a society only works when the benefit is both ways.

    i never understand why this bullshit is always being modded insightful.
    you and your kind think that they have some inherent right to anything.

    i have got news for you: you have no inherent rights at all. no right to earn wealth, no right to keep wealth, no right to be protected, no right to live at all.

    all rights you have are the rights the society is willing to rent you. taxes you pay are the rental fees for the right to live in the society, the right to be protected by the society, the right to earn wealth from the society and all other rights you claim to have. if you refuse to pay your rental fees you lose all these rights. the landlord has the right to throw someone unwilling to pay the rental fee out, or to sue them until they pay - business as usual. same thing with taxes, really.

    it is not the government, who is benefitted by this rental fee, it is the society, but there are too many dicks like you, who want everything for them selves and don't give a damn about the rest. well, if you don't want to be part of the society, then get the hell out of it and stop doing business with it.

  22. Re:Thank ADM, Cargill and their lobbyists. on Fructose As Culprit In the Obesity Epidemic · · Score: 1

    meat doesn't have to cook long. frying meat is usually pretty fast if the meat chunks aren't too thick and pressure cooking does the rest faster and tastier than normal cooking. in fact you can pressure cook chicken fillet in 5 minutes. since pressure cookers are pretty cheap nowadays (i can get one for 35 euros here in germany) i don't see a problem there.

    yes, by 5 minutes. and if you use rice instead of potatoes you stay withhin 20 minutes (you don't have to peel rice).

    stew with steamed potatoes cooks for about 20-25 minutes (depends on the meat you take) in a pressure cooker. the preparations take about 5-10 minutes (depends on how fast you can peel potatoes).
