If he has any sense, yes he does.
Not all of them, but he should be reading some. Otherwise he's letting other people control his company.

The English, Welsh and Irish MPs had already absolved themselves of any and all authority of Scottish tuition fees, so lets fucking quibble.
Thank fuck the SNP are only a minority party in the UK parliament, they'll be doing their utmost to fuck over the people living in England (which includes a lot of Scots) with the comfortable knowledge that this is not a reciprocal relationship.
The recent UK national election demonstrates pretty impressively that the people of the UK are financially astute enough not to vote emotively for something that's going to destroy the economy (and thus the social fabric it sustains).
The current Conservative majority isn't because people like their social policies, it's because they're the only party people trusted with the economy.
(The lack of Conservative MPs in Scotland is due to very different factors - I'll take a bet that the SNP wont get half the votes in the Scottish parliament elections next year, let alone 95% of the seats.)
I love the way your entire post completely disregards the UK's position as one of the highest net contributors.
Please, kick us out. Go for it. I'm sure Germany can subsidise the rest of them.
The amount of my money subsiding the EU gravy train is working against me. My health services being overloaded due to EU migrants is working against me. The rapid drive towards reducing the sovereignty of member states continues to reduce my ability to influence the direction of the country in which I live.
The whole "Make Ireland hold a second referendum" on the Lisbon Treaty shows you how utterly undemocratic the whole process is. Shit, the rest of us didn't even get a referendum.
Ironically the biggest cock-up of the EU hasn't hurt the UK, because even Gorden Fuckface Brown wasn't stupid enough to join the Euro. Lucky escape there.
So when exactly did I vote for (or against) Jean-Claude Juncker, who is rapidly leading the EU in a direction I find horrifying?
Democratic my arse.
Most rational people recognize Britain should be part of the EU.
Really? The EU is heading towards political union and a single superstate.
Most rational people recognise that over the long term Britain is either Britain OR the EU. It can't be both.
I'm rational, I think strong trading links are excellent and political assimilation is stupid. Fuck the EU.
I'm intrigued that you quote him out of context to have a rant about republicans.
You might want to consult a professional, help can be made available to you.
The one on the right looks practical for a parent with two kids. The one on the left looks expensive.
What, you buy cars purely on aesthetics?
Ok, no. I just realised my own misinterpretation.
Damnit.
Apologies, I blame someone else.
No.
If you walk one mile south then you walk one mile south, not half a mile south then half a mile north.
Had the wording been, "You start walking south and continue for one mile" then I would agree with you, but it does not.
Don't post cascades to rec.humor
You may find the code used to check prices here; it is only known to work for the first 31 years (the limits of a signed long on my architecture).
This is slashdot, we can do (2^n)-1 in our heads.
If you're a mile north of the South Pole, the '1 mile west' description ceases to be possible.
If you're less than a mile north of the South Pole, the 'walk 1 mile south' description ceases to be possible.
For the scenario in the riddle, you're sure as shit nowhere near the fucking South Pole.
No, they're lazily using a socially defined label.
You even want to disagree with me, find me someone that's white. Completely white. No pink.
