"of being extremely fucking likely to be some sort of unscrupulous run-of-the-mill government cronyismish corruption."

What you might call corruption is just another day in DC, We cant elect someone not already infected by this corruption.

I think your 'free market' will never come to be, human behavior works against such markets.

Now that i think about it, your 'free market' is so vague and full of fantasy that anyone could apply it to what they consider 'free market'. Of course that itself is a free market, let everyone do anything, but of course human behavior will work against that and what ends up being a free market one day will end up being a monopoly the next. Free market needs government intervention, but thats not a free market....and so we come full circle.

In the end im not sure if you are being sarcastic or real, because frankly neither would surprise me and this could go either way, but the idea of a true free market is simply a impossibility.

Its cause we have a D in the white house, once we get the R in the white house then the hypocrisy flips

it doesn't matter, all of congress is just a big bowl of hypocritical bullshit, both sides dont represent American people

Critical thinking requires observation of opinion and fact, of weighing evidence presented in front you in a unbiased way. If this was a critical thinking class they would teach both sides then give evidence of both sides and have the children decide which is more plausible. I doubt creationism have much going for it, unlike the earth being billions of years old (carbon dating) and theory of evolution (super bugs)

This isnt for critical thinking, this is to teach our kids the exact opposite of critical thinking, this is to teach kids how to blindly follow any stupid idea someone throws at them....i guess it makes sense parents like this want there kids to be like this.

I was working on roughly the same comment...you just point out the stupidity of this article far more efficiently then i did, so ill comment here instead.

My analogy was that they sold more fries then oranges so clearly oranges must suck.

he thinks bitcoins are more anonymous then dollars, its a common misunderstanding, infact bitcoin is completely traceable. Every transaction that has ever happened, has been recorded and can be audited. Unlike dollars....

However, bitcoins can be tumbled and they lose track of who owned what coins because all the coins are spread among a bunch of people.

Each bit coin can be divided down to 100,000,000 satoshis. the whole transfer process is based on 100,000,000 satoshis, so when you get one bitcoin you, the backend process it as 100 million satoshis.

Payment fee can also scale, and can even be put manually in the miner i believe, or its capable of doing so and hasnt been implemented yet (bitcoin protocol is full of shit you can do)

From your two very wrong remarks, i would presume that you have little knowledge of bitcoin, and unfortunately your spreading misinformation that people are catching up on (this is the top post from my settings)

To redeem yourself to the mighty bitcoin god, you must first say 'praise bitcoin' 100 times (for brownie points, say it in public outloud), then type in bitcoin into google and read 5 articles relating to how bitcoin works. If you dont care about the god, then just read one good article on how bitcoin works or watch a podcast, shit its the internet, facts are there...find them before you join in a discussion

Ya the church when it ran the world, it burnt people, caused massive wars and millions died a year. People starved, jailed and instead of a constitution full of relevance, they used a 2000 year old book with no facts in it what so ever. I dont see how i am saying i want the goverment to have more power then the church..im saying that the church shouldnt be able to 1. dictate what employees do with there compensation, 2. Tell health insurance company's what they can and cannot cover. 3. Impose yet again some strange morale guidelines that nobody realy even follows (even females in the church dont follow that one)

When i said "They could just pay the fine and force employees to get heath insurance from the exchanges and BOOM..its out of there hands" i was given a simple fact away from there self created problem, I never said that i agreed or disagreed with exchanges, i simply pointed a way they could both feel they are still morally superior (even though they are not) and employees still get to keep there freedom of using birthcontrol.

Seems to me this is just one more way the church is trying to fill its biblical role and make sure women are homemakers and subservient to the male society. men can have sex whenver they want and have little to no consquences, even if they impregnate the female. The female however, at least the way the church is trying make it, cant have sex without a big chance of getting pregnant and having her life utterly changed and any goals destroyed.

So i am advocating fairness, if women want to have sex (and i want them to want to have sex) then they should always be allowed to, and birthcontroll allows that freedom.

im sorry that im anti freedom because i dont want the fucking church dictating what is and isnt appropriate in my lfie, nor do i want some jerk telling my girlfriend she cant have birth control pills.

How you ever got that i want to make volunteer work outlawed is beyond me, that wasn't even a stretch, that was just shit throw out of your ass.

your arguments are so off center and out of wack i dont even know where to begin.

Also, this had nothing to do with obamacare and i wasnt arguing for or against it, so lets not change the subject so you can have a stronger argument.

also, i got this strong strong sense that you dont even know what communism means, its probaly a buzzword that you hear on some right wing radio and you use it because it sounds scary(it seems to of scared you)

cathoclism and jesus have nothing to do with each other, there is nothing about the catholic church that realy follows jesus, its all pretend while the church sits in there own city state with all that fucking wealth and use a small perecentage to help the poor out...its no differnt then a bank running a promotion ' open a bank account with us and we will give some poor starving child 50.00 to buy him a few days. '

If Catholics want to follow jesus, the pope would step down, the Vatican would be sold and the money would be sent to the poorest of nations, that wont happen because its not about jesus, its about power and thats ALL its about.

So your saying that despite the constitution, as long as i consider it 'morally wrong' then i can go out of my way to not pay for it. Whoohoo, im going to call IRS and tell them out of all my taxes, i dont want one penny to go to bombs, wars, or anything that can be used to kill anyone.

Lets put it in a differnt term, They pay people with cash that can be used for anything, drugs, booze, whores...basically anything the church morraly objects to they hand over pieces of paper that allow that kind of behavior. Is the next stop going to argue they dont need to pay employees because of what they can do with cash?

Healthcare is a payment, They could just pay the fine and force employees to get heath insurance from the exchanges and BOOM..its out of there hands. This is not about stopping it, its about religious oppressment, something the cathcolic church is quite good at, and quite fond of.

The catholic church is going to do what to the nun? Fire her? thats about it, thats all they can do. Sorry bud, but the days of burning witches are over, there will be no bigger problem for said nun, except having a baby unemployed

And no, this isnt about nuns having access to birthcontroll, this is about having a religious boss/ceo who suddenly thinks that because he is catholic he can now force everyone he works for to follow his tenant if they agree with it or not.

This is just the same fucking fight we have had with religion since its stupid idea was conceived, its now just wrapped in some different kind of bullshit pretending that poor Catholics are oppressed because they cant refuse contraceptive to people who dont give a fuck about there dumbass tenets and the stupid fake god they worship whom they crown and call the pope.

this is about freedom of religon for the majority of the USA, not your stupid fucking holy book

soon we will have Catholic bucks, it will buy anything most dollars do execpt what the church deems evil. Then of course Muslims will need there own bucks, jews will have jew bucks, even Scientology will get its own green dollar.

That way we can make sure that all religions oppress us equally, the constitution doesn't state freedom of religion...well it does, but who cares about the Constitution, that is so 1700's

He did take both, just not the first time. After the last phone call in the first matrix he realized his trip was ending.
