Comment Re:More Like Subsidized (Score 1) 533

Liberals are people who see "Excellence" and think "That's not fair" and want to make the playing field "level" for the players that don't work and practice hard. So they saddle those that do work hard with extra weight "because they deserve it for taking advantage" of those that don't work hard.

Strawmen are easy to knock down.

Nice Strawman!

"sell drinking water, you can dump your sewage in the river and sell your own clean upstream water"

Bull and Shit. Libertarians believe that people causing HARM to others need to pay for it. This means that if the water is being polluted, that those polluting the water are jailed and have to restore the river back to the way it was.

But like all Libtards, you love to set up strawmen just to knock them down and try to look impressive doing so. But if you want to play that game, "Liberals want to take all your money and give it to people who don't deserve it, just so they can create more poor people to vote (D)!"

Which is a strawman, but still is much much closer to the truth.

How is something that is pure unsupported drivel considered "insightful" ... oh right, because it fits with a certain mentality of (R) bad, (D) good and any (R) is evil rich white man wanting to oppress the brown and black people.

The biggest fallacy is that people want it harder for "minorities and poor to vote, to hold jobs", which is pure bullshit race baiting crap. Take a look at the places that have (D) leadership, and then look at the poor souls who live there and tell me the (D) people have done ANYTHING for the poor colored people, besides keep them poor and segregated.

The world was once rich with opportunity, not it is stuck in quagmire of equity of outcome, in which the poor colored people are trapped in poor segregated neighborhoods. Now, you can blame this on rich white men, but Oprah and Obama clearly show that most Americans really don't give a shit about your "color". They give a shit about your actions and appearance. If you want to dress like a prison whore with your pants down around your knees, by all means do so. But don't blame white people for not accepting idiocy in the name of "Ghetto Culture".

As a Libertarian, I oppose all welfare, except those that CANNOT (not will not) support themselves. If you're healthy, you should be working, and if you can't find a job, make one (deregulation required). But like everything else, taxes, fees and regulation do help but actually hurt the poor and middle classes. That $100 business license your city requires, only keeps the poor people from starting a business, legally. Rich don't care.

And as for the outright LIE of 'no access to birth control", that is pure LIBERALISM in a nutshell. Nobody is saying women can't have birth control. Not even the Supreme Court. And nobody is saying you can't take four of the twenty HHS Required Birth Control pills either. What they are saying is pay for them yourself. And if you're a strong, liberated woman, shouldn't you be able to afford the cost of your liberation?

No, sir, a vote for people like you is a vote for stupidity. Because you take liberal talking points that have already been proven false, and continue to spew them forth. And typical of liberal idiots, are commenting as AC. Chickenshit

Comment Two kinds of people in the future (Score 1) 509

The notion of "haves" and "have nots" are going to be about robots, not about money. There will be two kinds of people in the future - those that own the robots, and those that are either displaced or enslaved by them.

Automation is going to make the future rather bleak, indeed. Universal welfare, anyone?

Here is the thing, that is often missed by these types of technology insertions into typical analogue world, they are usually LOCKED in such a way, that they cannot be extended or upgraded easily, and because they don't include "what happens when script kiddies can crack the security in two seconds" upgrade plans. Because replacing something that requires a small level of skill break (tumbler locks) with one that requires no skill (just download MSTRLOCK-CRK-ZIP) is infinitely better /sarcasm

I'll wait till 3.0 of the spec is released and all the kinks are worked out.

To be honest, this is Nokia's own doing. Hiring MS drone to take down the enterprise was pretty stupid. It was the least expensive option they had. It would have been better to pick one of the three lanes they had, and stuck with it. They went a fifth lane when that wasn't really a good option (fourth lane being Android). Even Microsoft is realizing that Windows Mobile / Phone / Whatever is not going to win in the market.

The result is typical short sighted vision of CxOs. But, I bet it looked good on paper, and instead of listening to the asshole who is usually right, they listened to the nice guy who lies.
