You assume that justice or rather penitentiary system in US is meant to rehabilitate instead of simply to apply some form of retribution.

I actually tried. What I found out is this: time and money spent do not justify the results.At the end if a hooker does not do a blow job well I just wasted a good hour and 50E. Most of traditional dating sides require a fee from males (and lesbians). You also invest time into finding and negotiating a date then you go on one. There are different people of course - some will score every time they want and they want every time - I would not turn to dating site if that were my case. Thus after some time I concluded that instead of frustration and rejection I can go for hookers. If one pays well one goes above the level of misery - that is of course if hookers are legal in your country. For me they offer the best deal. Again for me the dating BS is for people that have too much time on their hands and interest in fellow humans that justifies the risks and costs. OC this approach does not suite some. I tried all the other options except abstinence and this seems the best. ymmv of course.

I think this is changing at least in civilized countries it does - for years now German couples that split have to support the financially weaker side independently of gender thereof. There are also limits for how much a side that takes kids can ask for help - courts tend to believe that if a kid is healthy and kid caring parent too then if there are no other obstacles this side can go to work thus reducing financial strain on the other. This of course does not mean you go off the relationship scot-free. If she did trick you in producing offspring you are out of luck - you have to pay. Having offspring is a risky business. If you did not produce one then it is easy. Especially if you had a premarital agreement. If things are that uncomplicated you can even save on a lawyer and take one the last one time together.

Judging on the way they handled Turing for his 'crimes' I suppose letting them know all about everybody's lives is just OK. After all only criminals and terrorists should fear.
  Oh wait they apologized afterward so all is well then....

I seriously doubt that he had anything to do with freeing me from tyranny. These were my fellow citizens who kicked the collective ass of communist party plus communist parties themselves by running their economies to the ground and seeing everything as danger to communist ideals thus suffocating all non-governemnt initiated activity except resistance. He happened to be just at the right spot to take the glory.
US were sick when he took office. I am not sure they recovered all that much unless of course you take that the status of US finances is perfect.

This is a bit OT but still. I saw a documentary about him not long time ago where they said that although he was a right wing anticommunist radical there were only 3 'marines sending events' at his watch - the smallest number since WWII. No wonder nobody likes US and US embassies have to look like fortresses. But hey this was apparently not his fault!

This and the antibiotics cooks in 3rd world do not have sewage processing plants for fluid waste from their production facilities. I mean the costs savings have to come from somewhere...

actually only napalm helps. Added bonus - after 12h constant application it smells like victory.

I think you did not read last memo - it is all Putin's.
But it us OK because his empire although very evil is just crumbling and unimportant.

You are probably right about insecurities in pin&chip but it is still better than what Muricans still have now?
The road of progress is long, boring and difficult.

Housing, food, drink and entertainment - one still need that and I do not see how this is going to be provided to people that have less work as he over-occupied uber-class (the one just below the owners of it all). If you do not provide that you will first need some powerful security forces - these could be quite automated so not so much occupation for a joe sixpack who will miss his sixpack altogether probably. Still even if masses cannot reach the 1% they still cause enough mayhem to make life of 1% unpleasant. So at the end - whatever happens there will be some jobs at controlling of the masses involving beating up the crap out of them and dealing with corpses. Gosh this can even be a ceiling for 'natural' civilizations.

So they found out that sometimes populations get stuck in situations without cooperation and that this is not beneficial for their payoff and for the population as a whole. So how is this showing cooperation is bad or impossible? It just shows that sometimes you get stuck and there is no way out. How does that calls cooperation into question? Only in /.tards eyes maybe?

if the grain of salt is too frequent it is bad for you too.
Just saying...

Actually I recall study that showed that most of the time - the more you work, the shorter your lifespan is. There are of course exceptions - working on own farm in a fresh air of Kaukasus was one. Working on a small farm in India is not.Or to put it bluntly - roof maker is not going to work till official legal pension age because of health issues, a white collar guy is not going to work till official pension age but his life is still going to be shorter and more miserable than those of the '1% elite' - those that can afford to work as much as they want and take care of their health when need be.

but but but all men are rapists! It is OT for this discussion but it seems to me that in some societies on this beautiful planet, a man approaching a woman must be in a company of a lawyer and a witness just in case things will be investigated. I think making sex between humans illegal, when at least one party does not have a witness and a lawyer at his/her side, is not far away.

but that is not how some understood it. Alco is no help - evil then!
BTW: I know the dark side of alco as I lost a friend and a member of a family to alcohol (or to late effects of misuse). But you can overindulge in almost anything. Humans are very inventive at that.
