I think that any real insider trading only happens in the halls of government offices, where government officials trade on exact knowledge of the laws that they themselves are passing.

I think that any actual fraud needs to be punished, regardless of whether it is committed by an individual or his or her company but I also think government has no business in that, that's what private legal system should be handling.

I think that the real problem with the society is its desire to use violence perpetrated by the government thugs with guns upon individuals.

- it is not a matter of belief, it's a matter of fact. It is government laws that discriminate and hurt people with discrimination. Slavery was a government law, so was the law that chemically castrated Alan Turing, so was any law that forbade interracial marriages, so is any law that says anything at all about homosexuals or straight people, races or genders, or any kind of a 'minority' related law, anything at all that divides people into groups and categories is government discrimination.

Businesses mostly keep away from discrimination if government law does not make it prohibitively expensive not to discriminate. I know I would not hire any type of a government protected group specifically because laws make it extremely expensive to hire and fire them, not because of any personal feelings on any of those subjects. I care about making money more than I care what somebody does on their free time with their penises, vaginas, what skin colour they are, whatever. The point is that any government law that makes it expensive to fire somebody makes it nearly infinitely expensive to hire any such people.

As to 'bonded' whatever, yeah, I don't care what government program there is, it's all a trap anyway. There shouldn't be any government oppression where it concerns our private property and private deals.

It is our right (right = protection against government oppression) to discriminate against any individual in our everyday lives for any reason whatsoever. Governments destroy our rights by punishing individuals or businesses for any type of discrimination while governments are most likely to discriminate themselves, not private businesses and government discrimination is what is most damaging, not individual or business discrimination. Businesses and individuals discriminate very little due to free market not approving of it. But we must maintain our rights and be free people and keep our right to privately own and operate property without governments oppressing us.

As to criminal background checks themselves, as long as a business can be sued in court for money by anybody claiming that business caused them damage by hiring an ex con and the client somehow lost something and now wants retribution and government allows him to sue because business maybe hired an ex fellon, as long as that is the case (and it is happening all the time), you bet businesses will not hire ex cons. It is all about minimizing costs, and these types oflawsuites do not falll into a category of minimizing the cost of runni g a business.

Well, if we are going to measure how 'successful' this 'law' is, I would say it has total success. Consider that the way that Putin was able to radicalise some segments of the Russian population and have his covert war in Ukraine by pushing propaganda that Ukrainian is ran by 'fascists' and 'nazis', and they have achieved this by equating the Ukrainian nationalists, who use Bandera symbolism to fascism. Of-course Bandera was a nationalist who was trying to build a movement to get both, the Soviet and the Nazis out of Ukraine and he did not mind using connections with the Nazis to achieve his goals, however he was far from being a fascist, he personally spent time in a Nazi concentration camp after once it became known he was building an attempt of overthrowing the Nazis in Ukraine.

So Godwin law is here to stay, it proved to be extremely useful for the powers of the world.

Patriotism is stupid. It is stupid to assign yourself to a group and then cheer for the group or go down with it. It is a sign of a weak intellect and stupid ideology to cheer for a team or for anything that is set up to consume and chew up and spit out an individual in the first place. Patriotism is for idiots and it is a useful way to control idiots.

There is only private property, in a war that is aimed at your private property and/or life you don't have a choice, but to be a patriot simply because of a set of circumstances that caused you to be born in a particular location within a particular set of people is stupid.

Stupid idea of patriotism is used for most horrendous crimes committed by the elites, who create walls made of people around themselves to protect their own power. These walls of people are then used as cannon fodder to destroy individual liberties, be it in civil or external wars.

Patriotism is a stupid idea that starts with the stupid idea of team sports and progresses all the way into wars.

No, it is not a good idea. USA citizenship is an albatross around your neck at this point, given where the USA economy is going and what the USA tax system is like. It makes much more sense to start learning Mandarin at this point and figuring out how to get citizenship of Singapore instead.

So this Wilfried Laurier character,

A corporation is not a person, however that is not what is meant by 'corporations are people', the people in question are the people who start/run/own the corporations. Corporations are 1 or more people that own the corporation and the speech of the person that owns a corporation is limited by government, when government denies that person the right to use his corporation to express his view.

I was born in the USSR, not an American, lived all over the world and maintain a 5 flag strategy. I have a better understanding of the global situation than many people on this planet who have never even left their own city in their lives.

As to the rest of your comment, clearly you cannot read. I am not talking the general population, I am talking about welfare recipients, so try and stay on topic, would you please?

It is 2015 today, isn't it? Did you have to use your hands? It's like a baby's toy!

- are you kidding? People who aren't working are breeding, that's all they are doing. This is proven conclusively by countries with welfare systems in place, such as the USA, Israel and others, where there are large swaths of population whose only fame to claim is the benefits that they are extracting from the system and producing more mouths to feed. There is a culture of welfare produced in the USA, white trash is among the top welfare recipients of-course. In Israel the Haredim (ultra orthodox) Jews see it necessary to have scores of children (while also using their procreating habits to encroach further and further into the Gaza strip increasing the tensions and violence and at the same time Haredim do not join the military forces in the country).

- yeah, that's what I call idle population. Creating new forms of porn and that's about it.

- oh yeah, sure, subsidized by the 'basic income' for no reason whatsoever just because they graced us with their presence on this planet.

A person's worth is in what the person does, a person that lives off of others is not worth anything, he or she is a net drain on the system, not a net benefit. Thinking that a significant number of people with that mentality will amount to anything at all if they are not prodded by the cold reality of having to survive on this planet but believing they are owed something by others, who have something, that doesn't make creative and entrepreneurial people at all, but it will create a class of people for who it will never be enough. They will believe that if they procreate and create more mouths to feed for the system now, that the system has to expand its own production for their sake and feed them all and probably do even more than just feed them, because 'dignity'.

Dignity does NOT come from forced coercive threat of violence and income redistribution based on that violence. We have conclusively proven that in the former USSR (and North Korea and more).

Individuals need to stop cooperating with the oppressive collectivist (socialist/fascist) governments. The oppressive collectivist governments derive their power from our cooperation and we must stop this and we have the power to do it. We must violate every oppressive collectivist rule and law, they send their goons to kidnap us and 'judge' us, we must not cooperate. We must not give up without a fight and when they overpower us (they are the collective socialist fascist mob with all the guns and muscle after all), we must not cooperate with their goon 'judges' and goon muscle. They should have to use force for everything, we must not even walk when they tell us to. Of course this is not a recipe for self preservation but for rejection of their authority over us. The only thing they have is guns and muscle, they have to be put into position to show what they really are every step of the way. The so called society has to be shown what it is, to create and maintain this system of oppression of the individual by the group. It has to be made clear to the mob that it is the mob with all its pitchforks and bonfires with individuals used for fuel.Without freedom individual has nothing and nothing else matters. All mob laws are pure expression of violence and they should be forced to display it and live with it or change every step of the way.

People not only had affordable and cheap health care in USA, they had affordable and cheap health insurance. 50 years ago the most commonly sold health insurance plan would only cost $25 per year per family of 4 with a 500USD deductible, covering up to 50,000/year, which was more than enough for 2.5 years of stay in a hospital in a year. So it was catastrophic insurance, which and people paid for most of their expenses out of pocket and it was not a problem whatsoever.

Even before that, around 1920s, 1930s, a family with 2000-3000USD income would spend around 108USD in health care a year, closer to 261USD with hospital stay in a year.

Yes, insurance and health care used to be very cheap in the USA before the fucking piece of shit collectivist, and yes, socialist/fascist government destroyed the free market capitalism.
