Just want to mod you down for being a deadbeat Greek. Your country owes money, your country needs to pay money. Your poor and destitute can go suck ass as us freemarketer's are concerned.
I sincerely hope this is a joke or a poke at free marketers. Because otherwise... really?

Kind of redundant, don't you think?
There is no such thing as "good weight". People like Michael Clarke Duncan still die "young" from heart problems. The strain on the heart for pumping blood is related to the mass pumped through, not the percentage of it that's "fat". Arterial constriction/hardening through lipid action is a separate issue, but for general heart failure, and a variety of heart diseases, there's nothing that indicates there's "good" weight, just that any added is harder.
There is certainly good weight. As with many things, it is a matter of degree. Michael Clarke Duncan was a bit of an extreme case, at 6' 5" and 315 lbs. The thing about muscle weight is that you have to work to get it, as opposed to fat weight where you just have to eat. Building muscle also strengthens the cardiovascular system while eating pie does not. So I would still agree that everyone should do some sort of weight training. You don't have to get huge, just put some muscle on your frame. It strengthens your joints and bones as well.
Having a decent baseline of strength makes life easier, helps prevent injury and will carry you into old age as a healthier person. You don't need or want to get as big a Dwayne Johnson or whomever. You can't get that big without a huge commitment, and steroids and hormones anyway. What I'm talking about are people like Jack Lalanne. He was strong and fit his whole life and lived well into his 90's. He wasn't a bodybuilder, but he was strong and healthy. He was also an extreme case, but he set an example that people would do well to follow.

I'm going to call Godwin on that string theory remark
You know who else was a multi-dimensional vibrating string? Hitler!
Make the wrong deals or don't make the right promises, and media will find out who you were fooling around with, or have dick-picks exposed (not claiming that what happened to a certain politician, just an easy example). Are you foolish enough to believe that the IRS targeting certain groups of people is purely coincidence?
This is what happened to Elliot Spitzer in my opinion. He was aggressively going after Wall Street crime when the revelations about his paid-for love life came about. I'm not saying he wasn't having sex with prostitutes. But come on, lots of powerful men have sex with prostitutes.
This is how most bills are written. That is not a cynical but rather purely factual statement.
And you're okay with that? The point isn't that it is unusual, the point is that it is anti-democratic and contrary to the interests of the general population.
Exactly. What, should we be creating international trade deals without consulting the industry leaders who will be affected?
Do you really think "consulting" is all that's going on here?
Lol, spoken like a true tool of your betters. Yessir, massa sir, those sure are some entitled po' people!
And another one. Stop gunking up our threads with your algorithm!

This is the second time I have seen this exact post in this thread. It's a bot!
I think the problem isn't so much a lack of skills, but instead grossly overcharging for those 'skills' when there are obviously plenty of other people willing to do the work for cheaper, and now trying to enlist the U.S. government as a de facto union or protection racket scheme to keep the wage rates artificially inflated and lock out competition. This is simply the free market at work, as we've seen in manufacturing and a hundred other professions over the last 35 years. It needs to happen, and it will.
The Free Market doesn't exist, but thanks for playing. Markets are defined by governments (laws, regulations, contract enforcement, redress of grievances, etc.).
You can pretend to know something about me if you want, but actually I'm only part of the problem for people who are afraid of competition. And no, I don't get paid less than the employees - I get paid more. Always. Because I'm good.
How nice for you. I guess we should all just become superstar consultants and we wouldn't have a problem. Can everyone be in the top 5%? I'm thinking that's not possible.
You come off as pretty arrogant; basically telling people that if they didn't suck so much and were more awesome like yourself, they wouldn't care if people were trying to undercut their wages by making them compete with desperate people willing to settle for much less, because companies would just throw money at their awesomeness. I'm glad companies throw money at your awesomeness, but you seem to have an advanced or rare skill set making your example inapplicable to many other situations.
Why should this be illegal? Protectionism creates a selective advantage for the protected workers but makes the workers complacent and makes the company less competitive over time. I'm a freelance tech worker, and I neither have nor want protection from foreign workers. I compete and add more value.
This should be illegal because, as far as I understand the law says H1B's are supposed to be for workers with skills not found in the local population. However, these workers seem to be doing the same job as Americans, seeing as they are being trained by the Americans they are replacing. So I don't see how these people can claim to have some special skill set.
No thanks. Big government is the problem, here. It's used by the wealthy to enslave the rest of us with our own money spent against our will.
You are mostly correct, but the problem isn't being controlled by the "wealthy". Most of the problem are wealthy, but not all. I'll give you a hint. They control the media, hollywood and ironically they have a hook in their nose.
Really? This tired crap?
