Cargoe?

Is that you, Dan?

The Republican party is now researching ways to allow candidates to withstand temperatures of 1,382.

(You might need to be a Daily Show viewer to understand...)

While commercial properties have been privatized farmland is still communal, so who can claim damages?

This situation won't improve until the Chinese reject authoritarianism and demand a free society.

Apple doesn't get a dime without making products people want.

Not products YOU want. Products other people want. Your beef is with them, not Apple.

People have the choice of buying his products in the first place, so how is he limiting anything?

Your post sounds like it was written by a nasty, selfish person.

What the hell do you mean by "Tea Party control"?

I'm not a member, but I know people who consider themselves Tea Party-ers. Their primary concern is the debt. Does this make you pro-debt?

The states didn't enforce slavery, fugitive slave laws did. If the south had been allowed to secede, slavery wouldn't have lasted long.

You should check out the book "Emancipating Slaves, Enslaving Free Men" for a more nuanced understanding of slavery than what you've been taught in Lincoln-worshiping publik skools.

If Ron makes any supreme court appointments, his litmus will be : "Can you read?"

The Constitution doesn't give the Federal government any authority over such matters. Murder, manslaughter, health, etc. aren't federal issues, so why is abortion?

I'm pro-choice and the best affect will be removing this wedge issue from federal politics. The fundies will go away and we can get our house in order!

What planet are you from?

Stallman didn't make Linux possible, BSD did. Are you suggesting no other compilers or debuggers existed?

Stallman didn't make MacOS possible. Again, BSD did. Safari doesn't use any of Stallman's code, and if LGPL didn't exist (a license Stallman wasn't a fan of), another would have been used.

Stallman's contributions are gdb, hot air, and beard grease and the only reason gcc/gdb became popular is the same reason UNIX became popular: it was available. Apple doesn't even use gcc anymore and its days may be numbered.

Steve Jobs wanted to make a computer for everyone, Stallman couldn't give a damn how difficult they are to use so long they use his license.

HURD:0 Apple:Billions

The only reason you've been modded up is because of FSF zealots who have nothing better to do than troll slashdot. If people rated your post on the facts you would get a -5 flaimbait

I have never heard or read a good argument to make this case. I have read arguments against it, however, such as that from Rothbard.

Fortunately, we can go back to the Articles when this federal government debacle implodes.

Worst idea ever. You're clearly ignorant about how politics works. The government and special interests (especially bureaucrats) will tax, borrow, and spend as much as they can. The only check to this is the ability to get around it. Notice how states and cities have to balance budgets.

Once you impose a federal tax, you'll never be rid of it nor will the people have control over how much they tax (beyond how much blood they have left in their veins).

The only income the federal government should get should be provided by state governments, period. That is the only way to make them accountable. No income tax, no savings tax (inflation), and no import tax (tariffs).

Having a "national standard" makes it easier to raise taxes. Having every state set their own taxes makes it easier to move to a better run state.

Supporting society?

Taxes don't go toward society, they go toward wars, prisons, subsidies, bail-outs, and entitlements.

Also: G+'s nerdy shit turns off everyone else.

Why would nerds even use it? Do they need yet another forum? Is this why IRC and NNTP are dying?
