It's only over when the last person leaves or is kicked out. Something/one either changes and grows or gets left behind and eventually dies. The key is to balance it. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Freedom OF religion means freedom FROM religion
Bolas replied to funjumper101's topic in Speakers Corner
Wait! How's that possible? Isn't one of the ideas backed by various religious groups that morality is a result of religion? How can slavery be immoral when so many religions have allowed it over the course of history? Just as making economic sense doesn't mean it's logical, being an activity supported in the name of some diety doesn't make it moral.

Because it is based solely on stolen goods. What gave the people originally selling the slaves the right to sell other people without their consent? One of the basises of logical thought is consistency. How would the person feel the activity/behavior they were doing, was done to them?

Favorite movie lines/titles to quote when you're pissed off.

I refrain from saying anything in a company email that is not provable or factual. If I really want to light into someone, I do it in person or over the phone, not their voice mail. Remote conference calls are great as you can call them fucking idiots all day long with the mute on.

It makes economic sense but the idea of one human having the ability to (non consensually )own another human is actually illogical as well as immoral. Economic sense may sometimes equal logic, but not always. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. -
So the law states multiple times it different ways that As it should be. Additional criteria have to be met as well.

The best governments use logic based reasoning to come up with their laws which is something sadly abandoned long ago in the US in the quest for power. Were one to start a new government embracing using logic and scientifically provable facts they'd be well ahead of the game. -
Are you sure you wouldn't rather hear about my most submissive thought? (Not that I would tell. ) That's a paradox as you're being told what the thought is which makes it not yours but the thought of being told is.

Choosing an area to work/live because it's near a certain DZ or tunnel seems backwards to me. Find a nice place to live where you can do a job you hopefully like. If you pick a large enough metro area, there may be multiple DZs close by and new tunnels are opening all the time. While it's great to be near facilities for your hobby/sport, unless it's going to be a second career, it is just that. While you may get a great vibe off one DZ on initial visits, your opinion/experience may change or the DZ itself may change. Had you chose your place to live and possibly your job based solely on this, you could be miserable and resentful quickly. Besides, traveling and meeting new people at different DZs is fun. Even if only going for the day 4ish hours of driving time round trip isn't too bad. Or if longer, go for the weekend.

Do you have any idea how difficult that is. I mean it's not like you fill in a form and them pay a fee and suddenly you are legal. Which is yet another reason why many don't bother doing it legally. If one wanted to live in a country and the legal process to become a citizen was expensive and time consuming or they could come illegally with little chance of getting caught and not much consequence if they were...

Never said it was going to be either simple or inexpensive (short term) but the "oh the problem is too big and complicated to do anything" attitude some have on here isn't helping things either.

One of the arguements made why we can't cut gov't aid to people is there are not enough jobs for all that are unemployed. It's a two pronged plan: * Free up the jobs formerly done by illegals * Start cutting benefits for those able to work to encourage they find employment.

The diplomatic discussion on using the system to your advantage.
Bolas replied to rhys's topic in Speakers Corner
You did see a couple posts back where rhys called us all idiots, didn't you? Are you gonna let him get away with that? He should at least get a warning. You handle that. I'm gonna go install my new hydrogen generator on my car. It runs on the car battery and splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, then burns them in the engine to produce more power! Free energy! How dare he call me an idiot. Harumph! Free energy? You selfish bastard. Do you realize how many industries you'll bankrupt and billions you'll put out of work? Oh and calling us all idiots is a general attack which is allowed, not a personal one. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. -
Yep, cuz if all the illegals were fired and deported until they were legal there'd be no citizens that could take their place because of our negative unemployment rate and job surplus. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

It's rather simple, cheap labor for the the right, and a clean social conscience for the left. Now, that's closer to the truth. In state and national politics, 99% of the Right exists to serve the Corporate Owners of America. (Whereas for the Dems, that's only about, eh, 87%.) And illegal workers who work well below minimum wage, w/o bennies, and know how to STFU are good for business. And as Silent Cal said, what's good for business is good for America. Only the Right won't be (indeed, cannot be) intellectually honest about it in public. Rather, it creates and funds "news" outlets like FoxNews and the Wall Street Journal to program conservative people (and not a few bigots) into thinking that their social outrage (and bigotry) makes a goddamn bit of difference. It's all sleight-of-hand: "Look at the birdie (while I f*** you up the ass)." The Left, on the other hand, is more honest about it: "Look, guys: they're here; they give us cheap goods at the store; deal with it." If that's truly the case, why is Arizona doing something about it? Surely they have corporations there that would rather not see this succeed. Neither the left nor right are honest with people and while they may employ separate tactics to accomplish nothing, they are both "f***(ing) you(us) up the ass" Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

so you concur then? Yep! By last count, the other members of SC have committed 23 murders thus far in May. Your numbers are way off. Billvon murdered that many children on Tuesday. I just took out a buffet restaurant during early bird dinner special, and they're still tallying up the bodies. Nanothermite is some fun stuff.

While that is admirable you feel that way about your wife, the two statements have no correlation. There are plenty of sleezy people that are very successful and/or find loving mates, just as there are plenty of stupid people too. -
