I honestly don't have that much interest in Google Glass. However, I'm tempted to get one and wear it everywhere just to make paranoid self-important douchebags uncomfortable. There's just something so narcissistic about assuming that anybody gives a shit what you're doing ... and Google Glass would be a really handy tool to help expose the narcissists in my midst.

Fuck the shareholders. The best interests of society outweigh the importance of your retirement portfolio. If the company you invest in can't make a profit legally AND ethically, then you don't deserve to take home a goddamn cent.

The only reason the tax codes are so complex is because every time they aren't specific enough, accountants find a loophole and even though it's completely contrary to the spirit of the law, some fucking lawyer goes to court and says, "but you didn't tell us we COULDN'T do this!" Then they get off without paying taxes and new laws are created that try to close the loophole(s) that are currently being exploited. Then when new loopholes are found and exploited, apologist morons like you justify every unethical action that every rich person or corporation takes because, "the law didn't say they COULDN'T do that!"

Ahh yes, just like it's human nature to go pick dollars off the dollar tree and spend them as they see fit.

Wait, what? You say dollars don't grow on trees? You say that dollars are created by the government, and only have value because they're backed by the government that created them? Pfft. That's stupid. Next you'll try to tell me that some of those dollars need to go back into that system to help support it, so that it can continue to back them and give them value.

Idiots. The fed can print money for the government forever, it doesn't need me to give MY hard-earned dollars back. I got mine, and fuck everybody else. I'm an island who doesn't need anyone or anything.

Except the police. Those guys have to protect my dollars. And the justice system, obviously. And roads, too, because they help the police get around and help me get to my job where I earn those dollars. Maybe water and sewage as well. Also, food inspectors and regulations would be good, because who wants to get sick and die from buying tainted food? Maybe also some sort of people who vet drugs to make sure they're safe. I'm sure there are 1 or 2 other really small things that I'm forgetting. But that's it! Anybody who thinks the "government" should do any single thing beyond what I think is correct is a damned socialist out to destroy my freedom and STEAL my hard-earned dollars at GUN POINT! (well, figuratively. And I know I said the police were necessary, and that they should obviously have guns, but when they're used to force me to do something I don't like? Oppression!)

Oh fuck off you PC tool.

And the other side is so steeped in mythology and believing in "original sin" that they can't see past their learned helplessness to understand that this has nothing to do with individual misdeeds, and projects their own narrow world-view of guilt and sin onto their opponents' position.

Do you have any evidence to back this up? Or are you just asking us to take it on your word, the same way you clearly think climate scientists don't have any evidence of AGW and are just asking us to take their word for it?

The Justice department claims that Apple is the ringmaster in an ebook price fixing case. Can you prove them wrong?

For my part, I'll trust the justice department over Apple's self-serving claims about ebook pricing. You, obviously, will side with Apple because you can't possibly be objective about your sacred cow having done something unethical. You've got post after post calling you out for being a blind Apple worshipper, yet the only one you respond to (which also does a great job of showing how wrong you are) you dismiss because it makes a "think of the children!" argument.

Oh, and for the record, fuck Amazon too, but for reasons unrelated to this.

I suspect that they did recognize the sarcasm because it didn't detract from the insightfulness one bit.

Get over yourself.

All I hear in your last several posts is goalposts getting dragged all over the field. "Nuh uh, that's not premium. THIS is premium. Because I say so."

Here you go.

Plug in a wireless adapter and park your car close enough to hotspot and sync away.

It's even rooted, so you can install whatever software you want on it.

At one time in history, Republicans were the liberal party.

Yes, they have switched. What's your point?

Also, you might want to look into those liberal-law-passing states. They tend to have the highest standards of living and quality of life.

Weasel word alert!

Ahh, yes. Sanctity of marriage when you need it, marriage != religion when you don't. It must be nice to be able to flip flop to whatever position is suitable for you in any situation.

It is my business, because at some point those kids are going to grow up and at that point they will be somewhere on the spectrum of productive/useful citizenworthless/money draining citizen.

I'd much rather have kids grow up to be able to take care of themselves, rather than having to spend my tax dollars to jail the violent, ignorant fucks that many people raise.

They do matter! They're the ones that you get to pay to support (however indirectly) for their entire useless, parasitic lives!

--Jeremy

I don't give a shit about tax rate. Quality of life is the only measurement that matters. If I can have a high quality of life and freedom to do what I want with a 100% tax rate then by all means, take it; I don't care. Money is just a means to an end.
