  1. Yes I had something to say about the irony of this lady and her marital history standing up for the christian sanctitity of mariage. Like I said, similar to Keith Richards talking about his healthy lifestyle.
  2. What capitalism BECOMES is changed by the requirements and regulations put in place to regulate it And the economy has a big effect on a company and how many it may hire of lay off And what is really souring the economy (of both countries to varying degrees) is government regulation and interference. yeah.....ok. So, which government regulation is forcing Whole Foods to lay off staff? And regulations don't change capitalism. Regulations change the market the regulations pertain to. Lastly, there aren't many people who think a truly free market, devoid of any regulation would be beneficial to the economy.
  3. No, nor am I in any way interested what she has to say about marriage. Nor does it matter to the issue at hand....which is her doing her job. How she feels about gay marriage has nothing to do with that, (The rest is just irony. Like Keith Richards discussing healthy living)
  4. Agreed. It was more to hide their own incompetence.
  5. How does that indicate that to you? You will have to explain. Capitalism is an economic and political system. There is a link by definition. A downturn or upturn in the economy doesn't change what capitalism is though.
  6. Not at all, she is welcome to her views. However she was elected to do a job, her views play no part in that. (never mind the absurdity of having an election for that function) She can change her mind all she wants. If she wants to absolutely hate and despise gay people, that is her perogative. But, that is no excuse to not do her job. If she cannot reconcile her job duties with her personal beliefs, she has the option of finding another job.
  7. Conservatism is like having sex with your grandmother: if it was good enough for Grandpa it's good enough for you.
  8. What's next? Arrest a kid for building a clock?
  9. Well Shazam! At least they didn't get rid of the people that the customers would miss. This has nothing to do with recovery and is pure capitalism at work. Whole Foods' job isn't to provide jobs, but to increase shareholder value. How quickly capitalists turn to socialists.
  10. Her actions have indeed been rather extreme. I do like how somebody who has been divorced multiple times is standing up for the christian sanctity of marriage.
  11. I have this feeling that many whom dislike Boehner, will soon be wishing for his return.
  12. This is simply not true. There is ample evidence of police interaction where compliance didn't stop a beating.
  13. You'll never stop illegal immigration. All you are doing is turning legal immigrants into illegal immigrants.
  14. Teh giraffe burger I had didn't taste like chicken. It was tasty, but I wouldn't describe it as chicken....
  15. Stupidity is not a disqualifying condition for gun ownership. It should be, but it isn't. Stupidity should be a disqualifying condition for a lot of things. But it isn't. What is really sad is that someone thinks a constitutional right should have some some way to weed out the dumb ones from having that right. What is stupid is a constitution with a specific amendment granting a specific right related to guns. It has created one of, if not the most violent society in a first world country.
  16. Yes - I misspoke. or mis typed. So you looked it up on multiple websites and still got it wrong?
  17. That does not stop some persecutors or judges in some of the states with a private prison system.... fill those beds... for fun and profit. Funny thing, Hillary has a history of supporting the three strike laws that send people to those private prisons, and surprise!! She also accepts their money. http://marijuanapolitics.com/in-bed-with-prison-lobby-hillary-clinton-unlikely-to-end-war-on-drugs/ Well then vote for her if you like that sort of thing... I want to vote for her, but my conscience just wont let me. Trump for President!!! Can't wait.
  18. I guess at least you are honest about being an incredible racist. Hard to imagine that your attitude is anywhere close to what Jesus had in mind.
  19. he sounds like a good and successful CAPITALIST - and a big high strung AND - I suspect he demands better customer service from his employees since he's doing his best to be an 'employer of choice'. I very much doubt he expects to pay more for the same performance the competition is paying less for. I like the strategy if the employees respond and perform accordingly trying via legislation to force the other guys to pay more just seems like a sound business strategy - put them out of business. or it's a terrible one if it lowers the bar for performance expectations - hard to tell without actually doing it It is being done. Think "unions". I wonder what would his opinion would be if his employees formed a union. Just remember this holiday weekend.... and every weekend... you would not have that if not for those evil Unions the fringe hates so much... but benefits from. What holiday weekend? I work 7 days a week. That is a choice you make If I can do it, so can everyone else. No excuses. Job can't take up that much time over those 7 days, considering the amount of time you spend on here.
  20. Then why do you believe so strongly that the free exchange of labour should be extremely limited? What you really want is a tightly controlled and defined marketplace. Put limits and control on all flows of resources in or out of that market place and then somehow gloat about how wonderful a free market is. You seem to be confused. Best to keep those battles with straw men in your head. How am I confused, you clearly want the labour market in the US to be very protected from outside influx.
  21. Professional skydivers should be making more than an average of between 18 and 30k/ yr. http://www.ehow.com/info_12020605_average-salary-skydiving-instructor.html It should be at least double that. A union would make that happen. Not bad for a two day a week part-time job. Plus, most of these instructors are not employees.

  23. BULLSHIT. Barring a severe uptick over the next few months, this year will end with fewer police deaths than we've seen in a long time. And while yes, 83 cops have died on duty this year, a large chunk of those were crashing their cars doing fuck knows what, having heart attacks, or otherwise things that are not the fault of others. Doesn't change what I said. Cops are being executed now. We haven't seen that s*** happening like it is now ever before. So keep your b******* Isn't that exactly how the 2nd Amendment is supposed to work. Police have been overstepping their bounds for a while. More agressive, killing the occassional innocent person etc. Society is rising up and fighting this tyrannical part of the government. You should be happy, it is working as it should.
