Ri~ght, because the internet is totally closed and there is no price competition there. Also, everyone only buys the things they see in ads.
I have noticed that those who defend government intrusion into both the private lives of citizens and into the market come up with the wildest, most asinine examples to justify their intrusion. When bad things happen as a result of thier intrusion, they then use those to justify more intrusion. There is a disgusting metaphor that is apt here, but I will leave it be. Needless to say, the practice utterly disgusts me.
Self regulation is not the same as a free market. If you used your brain to think about it for two minutes, you would realize that. Self regulation in free markets is something that would be very rare (if we had free markets), as certification companies would rapidly emerge, and compete with each other for the trust of consumers and money from the companies seeking their certification.
No, one person should do that. It's called "specialization". Such a company would be quite popular and rapidly become profitable, I would think. Of course, that profit would bring competition, and if one company was revealed to be corrupt, they would quickly go bankrupt, and have their market share taken over by one of the other competitors. Certification gets more and more reliable while also getting cheaper, all thanks to free market forces.
Right, because there was never such a thing as accreditation organizations in a free market. People buying fish or meat that has not been certified by said organization's high standards are free to take that risk, and they know quite well that there is some risk involved in such actions. But all such organizations have been squashed by government monopoly on food certification, and the government monopoly on food certification has failed to tell us of this danger. Free markets have nothing to do with any of it, because we haven't had one for nearly a century.
Which one? The one managed by the Chinese Communist party, or the one managed by our own socialist/fascist government?
If you didn't notice the nonsensical juxtaposition of the concept of a free market with any form of "management", then you might have just gone to a school where you were fed propaganda.
That only applies to Christians. The penalties for violation of the commandments are waived for those who accept Christ, but the laws remain. Thus, if an atheist or hindu dared to violate those commandments, a true believer would kill them, perhaps after attempting to convert them.
Note also that a true believer would read and memorize the entire bible, perhaps to the extent that everything else is ignored. If I had the word of a true God who had power over my eternal soul, I would do everything I could to learn more about him, because a. that is awesome and amazing, and b. I REALLY don't want to get on his bad side. But no-one does that, except for a few crazy people. They don't believe. They just believe that they SHOULD believe, and justify and rationalize everything according to that stated belief, even though it is totally insane, and their actions run totally contrary to those of a rational person who learned of the true existence of such a world changing fact.
I see you forgot about the 25,000 troops that remain in Iraq (but they aren't "soldiers", like our boys in Vietnam were "advisers"). And Yemen. And Oman. And Libya. And Somalia. And Pakistan.
Wake up. Barack Obama started more wars than Bush did. They are the same. Romney will be the same. Everyone that comes from the back rooms of either party will be the same. Anyone that is grassrooted in will be gotten to. Vote for a third party if you want freedom and peace to return to the world.
So, being able to walk to your representatives office disenfranchises you, while having to fly, and having all the lobbiests within walking distance increases the people's voice in government?
Implying there is proliferation at the top of an organization.
Pyramids, not trees.
Funny how in the other thread, you are advocating police states and authoritarianism. You are a beetle person. Read 1984 to know what I am talking about.
I believe Nazi Germany enjoyed similar "freedoms", as have all police states. Keep up the good work, beetle boy. No authoritarian state was ever able to form without the ignorant consent of the masses.
Ok, so what was before the Big Bang? Don't tell me that I don't understand X. Explain to me what GR theory predicts at t=-1min. I don't think that you, or anyone, can do that.
A system that produces unlimited resolution with nodes between portions of the system blocking observation seems rather elegant, and leaves us with potentially testable predictions (as production of tiny black holes should be possible). The applications from such a discovery would be rather interesting as well, I would think. Other "universes" with similar, but alien physics, for example.
Just now I did a quick Google search to see if anyone else has thought of this, and of course, someone had (I may have heard of it some time ago and just thought of it again, forgetting the source--this happens with puny human brains). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaotic_inflation_theory
You don't need fractals to explain what we see--you need fractals to explain what we DON'T see (the hypothesized rest of the universe), and WHY we don't see it (event horizon analogue is in the way). Tell me what GR says about what happened before the Big Bang (if it even makes such predictions), and maybe something will be learned.
I'm not giving a lecture or writing a paper for a peer reviewed journal, and that is the definition of fractal, so it is safe to assume that when I say "fractal" that I mean "fractal".
Both are free speech, and should be dealt with non-judicially. Resorting to the police, and worse, the police having the power to pursue charges is an indication that your society has failed. Much more pertinent would have been to go back to his own Facebook page, and tell his mother and boss about his little jokes. Ostracizing someone for anti-social behavior of this type is the appropriate response, not locking people up in boxes and setting precedents for the next guy who makes a crack about the Queen or some shit.
In America, this is quite fully allowed. See the Westboro Baptist Church. If you want to have freedoms, then you must defend the lowest of scoundrels. If just one of them falls down the slippery slope of authoritarianism, then we all follow.
Yes, this is a good idea. Further, they should not be given offices in Washington, and instead simply telecommute. That will make it harder for lobbyists and decrease taxpayer costs.
Because the Feds have done so well, which is why as they have gained more influence over education, US ranking in academic subjects have gone up and up and up.

>Implying that Crest toothpaste is in any way unsafe.

Or do you think fluoride is a government conspiracy to alter your mind?
Right, because all consumers are retards, and there is no such concept as "reputation".
Jesus Christ, dude.

Let me guess, lobbyist?
Notice that those are the same issues from ten, twenty years ago. You've been had, bub.
Implying there is proliferation at the top of an organization.
Pyramids, not trees.
Funny how in the other thread, you are advocating police states and authoritarianism. You are a beetle person. Read 1984 to know what I am talking about.
Sheep to the slaughter. You will bring about tragedy to our generation, and shame to our children's.

The good people of Weimar didn't see it coming either.

You just jelly.
I see you are new to the police state. I'd say "enjoy your stay" but you won't, as your ignorance of it will likely lead to tragedy in your future.

I see, so you are in favor of "free speech zones".
People like you make me sick.
In America, this is quite fully allowed. See the Westboro Baptist Church. If you want to have freedoms, then you must defend the lowest of scoundrels. If just one of them falls down the slippery slope of authoritarianism, then we all follow.
If the hatred of poor taste trumps freedom of speech in your eyes, then I suggest you move to the middle east.
People like you bring about the end of all freedom and the rise of all dictators.
Yes, this is a good idea. Further, they should not be given offices in Washington, and instead simply telecommute. That will make it harder for lobbyists and decrease taxpayer costs.

Oh wait...
Empiricism trumps theory, bitches.
Science--->Immortality.
Hopefully in my lifetime and at my price point.
