It's hard not to take home office supplies. You're running late to a meeting, so you grab a pen off your desk and stick it in your pocket. Then you forget about it
But that's not what the article is about.. Your scenarios wouldn't (most likely) result in office supply expenses shooting up by 20%. Nothing is ever black/white. There are always shades of grey.. But the story is talking about rampant supply thefts... I certainly wasn't talking about taking a single pen home by accident. But a large chunk of the morons are trying to justify this theft with "employers suck! Soak them!"
Then what is the phrase "ranging from a single pencil in the supply closet to a pallet of them on the company loading dock" about?
The ad said directly that "some" men were OK
No it did not. You haven't watched the ad.
Hold on, he might have a point here. That is, if "OK" is "the best a men can get".
According to Shirlock Holmes "when you have eliminated the possible, only the impossible remains!"
I do not know who Shirlock Holmes is, but the actual Sherlock Holmes quote is: "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"
So... exactly the opposite of what you said.
I could be convinced of the "taxes for college education" angle, but only if we restrict the degrees pursued to an agreed upon list of useful degrees for professions society actually needs.
Isn't this similar to saying that you're willing to pay taxes, but only if the money will be used for things you find useful? If taxes worked that way, governments would never spend money on anything.
Speak for yourself Boris.
Oi!
McGoohan only wanted to make 13 episodes. The studio got him to make another 4, and you can definitely tell which ones were added.
And you missed the perfect opportunity for a "Be seeing you" reference.
I am very interested in how short near-sighted bald guys with beer bellies can become sex symbols.

(That fucking EU cookie law is ridiculous.)
No it's not. Companies willfully implementing it in the most annoying way is. If the cookies are necessary for the site to work, they do not have to ask permission. The problem is that they insist on tracking your every move even though they have no need to.
(And the US is already one of the least polluting nations
Not according to wikipedia. You're #2 in absolute emissions and #7 per capita. The U.S. produces over 14% of the world's total emissions.
However, if it's in the public domain, there is no monetary incentive to locate, digitize, and restore such a film.
If done right, there could be. The copyright on those particular prints has expired, but a decent (not necessarily excellent) restoration with (for example) some annotations could be eligible for copyright again.
What "doctrine" do you think the pledge of allegiance "indoctrinates" students with?
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America"
That's some fascism right there.
"and to the Republic for which it stands"
I don't have much of a problem with this part.
"one Nation under God"
This is the part I have the most trouble with and what most people probably are referring to when they talk about the indoctrination.
"indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
None of which seems to be true.
Also, the fat Jesus kind of offsets the two skinny ones.
It works, mate!
