Comment It is only logical... (Score 1) 224

...that banks are 100% liable in cases such as this. It is up to them to verify that any access to the accounts that they hold are made by the legitimate account holders. Seriously, think of what the world would be like if any yahoo could write a check against any account without them veryifying the authenticity of the signature.

Comment Education? (Score 2) 339

Is it the lack of education that keeps the poor taking from each other rather than taking from the rich? I'm sure mine is not the only city that has "Boardwalk" located close enough to "Baltic" that the poor without much effort could take what they want from the rich. Yet still, the poor continue to rob from the poor.

It is free markets that keeps the US so highly rated among the developed nations in providing internet service to its citizens and, as everyone knows, the US is all about providing infrastructure that encourages competition. Imagine, if you will, how bad it would be if a single corporation were allowed to control access to all the roads in a nation! That corporation could dictate rates and refuse service to any and all who refuse to meet their price. Thankfully the majority in the US have come to the understanding that such travesties must be regulated against.

Those are the costs of "connected" healthcare. Humans are a hateful venfeful bunch and maybe those qualities served them well in the past by ridding themselves of the ill suited for humanhood, but today the homogenity these qualities aspire to will also lead to mankinds demise. Diversity is the key to survival, not "sameness".

Can you prove a negative? How would you go about proving that Gods/God does not exist? Even if you can account for everything that has been attributed to sky faeries over the centuries you still can't prove that those sky faeries just didn't sit back and observe it all.
