Then we can blame all the chicken deaths on the meat-bots and then, in turn, hunt down the meat-bots and eat them.

Nope. No possible flaw in that plan...

And don't forget, meat's taste is a combination of what it was fed and subsequently stored in the fat around the meat. That's why those choice cuts are so tasty.

You forgot one: Global warming occurs regardless of man.

What then?

Are you saying Denmark government employees are the same as United State goverment employees?

I have no problem investing in my own future. I put my self through college. Took me 6 years and working 60 hour weeks at a lumberyard in the summers. It took me being an Resident Advisor for 2 of those 6 years. It took scrubbing dishes at the cafe for book money and free dinners before doing homework. What I object to is investing in people who don't care.

I will send my kids to public school if things don't get too much worse, but you can damn well bet they better care about their own education. They better care enough to confront any trouble makers and slap that shit down. They had better care enough to take all the AP they can. They better care enough to put themselves through college, because I'm not going to do it for them. It would be good money after bad, and would be better spend on my own retirement if they simply didn't give a shit. But being my kids, I bet they give a shit. If they don't, I'm not going to force them or help them until they decide to help themselves. So tell me why other people's kids should be treated to more help on my dollar than I will give my own?

Maybe that says more about the sheer helplessness and apathy towards their own life than you want it too...

It's appalling but understandable when you consider that most teachers are government employees...

bout damn time.

Why the hell would we listen to a Russian born in 1965 about this kind of thing?

From the wiki (if it's still accurate):

Kaspersky graduated from the Institute of Cryptography, Telecommunications and Computer Science, an institute co-sponsored by the Russian Ministry of Defence and the KGB in 1987.

He may be good at solving individual problems, but I wouldn't trust him to make policy.

America has really strong intentions to remove ourselves from all the international conflicts we're engaged

That would be the trick they are playing on us...

I didn't say steal money, I said stole the value. That's what happens when money is created. The people who create the money get to use it at full value, while every one of us is left in the lurch when all that extra money hits the consumers. And this all seems justified to you because it has created "stability in the market"? I don't see this stability. And if the FED was powerful enough to prevent instability, then why didn't it? Oh so it didn't have enough power so it should have more now... I know those aren't your words, but that is what too many people are thinking.

Here's your source btw.

The FED is playing a game with unlimited resources.

I can agree with the way fractional banking works in the private sector. I don't think a bank should be regulated on how much money it holds in reserve. Instead, it should have to tell it's customers how much is held in reserve, then let the people decide if they want this bank or that bank. If there is a run on a bank, guess you learned your lesson the hard way.

The problem I have is that the FED doubled the money supply in a year. If that gets into the economy at large you will have to pay $10 for your average McDonalds meal. Most people will be confused and start some stupid campaign to have price fixing in fast food 'for the poor folk'. The whole time very few will realize who actually stole the value of the dollar.

Really, can't we keep our noses out of a neighborhood dispute? Nope! Have to bring in more government to 'fix' the situation. Wouldn't be so bad if we could directly elect who we want in the UN but it's all appointed persons by people that only half the population like...

Imagining Iran as pre-fall-of-communism Russia is like comparing my garden with a 480 acre farm.
In other words, unless you are my next door neighbor, my garden should be none of your concern.

I see your point, but I'd rather it just get it right...
