Oh look, another fucking moron to suck the first moron off.

Are you a fucking moron? How are you blaming this on libertarians?

*stifles laughter*

Unfortunately, regulation intended to pick the honest quite commonly does exactly the opposite. Those with the connections to get away with being dishonest can do so while those playing by the rules get screwed.

You don't actually think digital text books are free, do you?

That sounds magical. So they're both lowering the price of their product and increasing profit while having already spent money on the switch to solar?

Please show me the hard numbers on how that works for a specific company.

Except now Streisand could go back and demand that every page talking about the Streisand Effect forget her, essentially eliminating the effect.

I wouldn't mind it if both opposing groups simply vanished. The sane people stopped listening to either group of idiots long ago.

By "good reason" do you suppose they meant "not stopping any attacks on US soil"? Because from where I sit, that seems to be their primary function.

I don't recall the 1870s having food stamps, section 8 housing, earned income tax credits giving you more money than you paid in, free emergency room care, etc. 150 years ago, you came her and worked your ass off or you died. There was no option to simply live off the labor of others.

You said the magic word. Willpower. It has nothing to do with money, it has to do with convenience. Americans have become lazy fat fucks, and it's easier to eat poorly than well. It has little to do with money.

Doritos are cheap? Compare them pound for pound with a bag of apples and get back to me. I get tired of this fucking lame ass excuse that eating healthy food is too expensive.

I'm quite lazy as well, and have also coasted through life on being able to pull off a win at the last minute. Didn't do the homework? I'll bang something out between classes and it will be better than what most people spent hours slaving over. Didn't study for the test? I learned most of it while staring at the ceiling in class so I can pull off an A to help make up for the homework I didn't feel like doing. Hell, my interviewing (read: bullshitting) skills paired with my intelligence are good enough that I'm making far more money than my effort really deserves.

I don't know if schools are necessarily setting people up, but I was certainly never instilled with a work ethic. Which is why I too am perusing Slashdot at work.

You moron, their country is not 50% solar.

How does this ignorant shit get modded insightful?

I was just thinking about that, but I couldn't remember who created or much about it all really. Because it sucked.
