And the manufacturing facilities that produce parts for nuclear power plants run on electricity from coal fired power plants. Your argument makes ZERO sense.
Who says they aren't related, in much the same way that Neanderthals interbred with humans, such that some of their DNA persists in certain populations? To say that modern Europeans ARE Neanderthals is a bit much, but so is the opposite.
Less "failed competitors" and more "kissing cousins", methinks. Probably every one of these species has been folded back into modern humanity. Homo sapiens just happens to be the dominant gene source.
You JUST SAID that you are FORCED to go to work. Now you are claiming you just don't want to waste your whole life making money. Which is it? You are claiming to be a wage slave, wasting his life in the pursuit of money, but now you don't want money.
Your ideology is nothing but doublethink, and it is just that kind of doublethink that caused this depression. I got "rich" because I saved, and lived below my means, and recognized what was wrong with the world, and how macroeconomics would be forced to change.
lol, "sociopathic workaholic". What do you think people are employed to do? Murder people? Or serve them? In MOST cases, including mine, people work to serve others.
Christ, you'd better get your ass on straight or it'll come off the next time your government comes by to give you some raw anal rape for the benefit of the bankers and other political cronies.
Eh? Solar power has made huge strides in terms of decreasing costs even in the face of inflationary pressure. Solar used to be $5 a watt. Now it is common to find panels for $1 a watt (sunelec.com). This technology looks to cut that in HALF.
Actually, child, I will be retiring next year. At the age of 30. A couple of extremely useful inventions and a series of wise investments will allow me to do so.
You need to learn the difference between "law" and "legislation". Legislation is often confused with law, and as a result, we find our prisons overflowing with those who haven't harmed anyone but themselves, and those who wouldn't have had the incentive to harm anyone without the specter of unlimited government force making them move what should be legal operations into the shadows.
Wrong. It doesn't matter if they are 100% likely to attempt to murder someone. The innocent should NOT be allowed to be robbed of their freedom.
This is a good reason for an armed society. If those who commit aggression stand a good chance of dying due to their actions, then they will either be less likely to commit those actions, or they will rapidly be removed from the gene pool and society.
Slaves don't get paid. You are just afraid to go out and make your own way in life. That is not a knock against you, 99% of people are like that. It's just that that sort of mentality becomes especially depressing in, well, a depression like the one we are in.
No, YOU are stupid. If you open a business as a sole proprietor (which means you file income and losses on your PERSONAL income tax form), theft or damage of merchandise and capital equipment is a write off, just like it is for a corporation.
The fact that you are using totally incorrect terminology pegs you as an idiot who doesn't know what they are talking about. Personal can and does include business income. Personal and CORPORATE are the terms you are looking for. And even then, I'm fairly certain that you are totally wrong. Even if we take your argument to the far extreme, away from what we were talking about, and you are talking about theft of personal property not for sale (ie your TV got stolen) vs theft of goods from Wal-Mart, I'm still pretty sure you are wrong, because you can write off personal losses, because I did just that when my house burned down and I was underinsured.
No, I just don't like disingenuous liars. Of which you are one. Nice ad hominem. Post more lies AC. I'm sure someone will believe them.
Exactly where do you think the LLC's money comes from? The sky? The only thing that the corporation shields the owners from is civil liability. WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DISCUSSION AT HAND. IE it is a red herring thrown out by cowards who are afraid of the implications of honest and open discussion.
Yes, that is much better, if true. My reading of the article leaves me totally unclear on that point, though. Unless it comes out and says "the homeless keep what they earn," I am inclined to believe that they get nothing but food and shelter out of the deal.
>>Implying the principles don't care about losing their initial investment.
You are conflating about 100 different issues here. The ACTUAL POINT is that if you trust people who have proven themselves to be untrustworthy (in addition to giving them a perverse incentive) then they are likely to steal from you, and no magical LLC fairy is going to drop on by and give you back the money that was stolen. At best, you get to write off the losses against any gains. That doesn't help if you have ZERO gains because ALL of your equipment was stolen.
No, he implied that there was "no risk", because LLCs are the "least risky ventures on the planet". IE he is conflating literally every single form of risk, and claiming that protection from one form shields from all forms, and claiming to "know" that this is the case because he had a popcorn stand once. ,br>
The point is that AC doesn't know shit about business, as he is willing to let the least trustworthy people on the planet handle 100% of his capital as though there were no chance that he could take a loss.

To be fair, kicking over a rock is also meddling with the fabric of reality.
You tried and succeeded in outsmarting yourself into perpetuating your ignorance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subatomic_particles
Congratulations.
You could go to jail for that, it they are the wrong type of thoughts.
Don't you know that you are supposed to roll over when the government tells you to?
You must be a TERRORIST!

We'll have to look at the DNA to be sure.
30000 years from now, no paper or electronic writing produced by the current generation will exist. Just what little we have carved into stone.
Hard to say what a people were capable of when we know so very, very little about them.
There are many people who commented on this subject around the time of the American Revolution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone's_formulation

More lies. If it used more energy than it produced, you could never make your money back. Energy isn't free for manufacturing plants.
Eh? Solar power has made huge strides in terms of decreasing costs even in the face of inflationary pressure. Solar used to be $5 a watt. Now it is common to find panels for $1 a watt (sunelec.com). This technology looks to cut that in HALF.
Eh? Deep cycle batteries work just fine for my solar set-up.

When is the last time you saw a 30 year old gang banger?

Better that ten guilty men walk free than one innocent man be imprisoned.
Was it Oryx and Crake?
Do I need to move into the deep wilds and avoid taking vitamins?

Well, there you go. It's just a poorly written article designed to enrage people. Successful troll is successful.
