Comment Re:Why? ~nt~ (Score 1) 267

If some work and other do not, but they all are fed and clothed, it is unfair because the working individuals expend their labor.

Oh, now you want life to be fair? In that case, everyone should get paid the same for doing the same work. Now get on that, chop chop. The fact is that no system will be fair in every case. As well, some people want to work and some people don't want to work. Why is it fair for some people to get to do what they want, and some people to have to do what they don't want? You're deciding what is and isn't fair arbitrarily.

Yet you rant on and on about thimerosol even though it's been phased out of many vaccines.

But it hasn't. It's still used in multiple-injection vials, and those have been used since the supposed ban. You could find that on the CDC's pages too if you wanted to, but since you're convinced that I am wrong about everything and you are right about everything, you're incapable of learning anything.

Typically those homes are poorly built or not built correctly by the contractor. PROPER lighting is can lights in the sofett that way you can use low wattage lamps to achieve the same lighting without pollution or spill but have a higher level of security. Because someone creeping around a sofett lit home is very east to sport from the road.

It all comes down to two things. Dumb homeowners that don't know what to buy or would rather spend it on useless crap like trendy color Granite counter tops, and a contractor that is very low quality that will not bring in anyone with any real experience in outdoor lighting on the project.

It would be nice if everyone is reasonably well off. However for that to be fair everyone has to work.

Who told you that? They lied to you. We have more than enough production to provide for everyone, yet unemployment is rising in many parts of the world and more jobs are being automated away. The work will still be done, but it won't be done by humans. Your premise is ridiculous at best.

Right, when I see BMO, I think credibility.

I am not anti-vaccine. I am anti-Thimerosal.

I don't have kids, so I don't have to worry about what's in their injections. But I'm against unnecessary use of mercury. Even if there's no risk to humans whatsoever, ethylmercury is turned into methylmercury in the environment by bacteria.

You are an anti-fact douchewaffle.

Comment Re:lower the ticket price (Score 1) 1029

This argument is getting tiring. I'm not sure what prices are in your neck of the woods, but according to the Toledo Blade on 7/22/1983 (http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=8_tS2Vw13FcC&dat=19800722&printsec=frontpage&hl=en) it showed tickets as going $2.75-$3.50, non-matinee pricing. In 2013 dollars, that's right around $7.50 - exactly where a ticket for a non-matinee show is in this area.

This argument is getting tiring. The minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation in approximately forever, and neither has the average wage. Unemployment is at levels not seen since the great depression. So the price might be the same, but it's a larger percentage of the average disposable income.
