illegal goods, illegal help, kickbacks, etc. It sounds like this economics professor thinks the answer is, they can't, and therefore all this crime and shady stuff will go away.
That's where the black market forms and uses:
1.Another country's currency.
2. Barter
...Until the power goes out.
Or when you step into the local titty bar. How are you going to put electronic money in her garter?
... a binder full of claptrap, and they still weren't right.
Got me through 'B' school.
Thugs? When I go online to buy tickets from an automated system as opposed to going to a window and buying tickets from a person - that has to be paid - I'm charged a "convenience fee" and other assorted junk fees that make the airlines look like frick'n amateurs. Actually, I'm not charged because I don't click on accept.
Over the past couple of decades, I've watched ticket prices sky-rocket. A $25 ticket back in the 80s should go for $50 or so inflation adjusted? Nope. They go for well over a hundred. And many of these acts aren't what they used to be, I tell ya. And the new acts? Pffft. The last time I went to a live show, I was very disappointed.
Your linked article is satire. But I didn't really know if it was satire until I read it through.
The terrorists have won.
Yes they have.
Just wait until they send a little girl with her vagina and rectum packed full of explosives that takes down a plane.
I wonder if Pistole has a nice 7 figure job lined up too?
Possession of child pornography is illegal. Possession of naked images of children is only illegal if those images are pornography.
Which is at the sole discretion of the police and judge.
I just had this discussion with a friend earlier today. The millimeter wave scanners don't even USE x-ray radiation, and the backscatter uses about 1/100ththe radiation of a dental x-ray. I asked my friend if she was going to stop getting dental x-rays, she said no because they only do that once a year. can't really argue with that level of logic.
Well yeah because radiation exposure is cumulative. You don't see the dentist or the hygienist in the room when they take the x-ray, do you? They're always behind a lead screen. And there was a case a few years ago - some flight crews were suing over the constant radiation from flying at high altitudes - don't know what happened.
This is a good one; even though his wording in trollish and flamebait worthy.
That's how you get attention. If it weren't, it would have made the press.
Get it?
It is impossible to be safe from terrorism.and people really need to get over the idea that it's possible to be completely safe.
In the meantime, I'm sure you don't hesitate to jump in your car and get on the freeway because that's probably how your going to die and if yo live long enough, it'll be cancer or heart disease.
The US Federal Government buys more Dell machines than any other major customer. And Dell sucks, really really hard.
Seeing the title and that boldfaced sentence, I think you've hit on the answer. Well, I don't think Dell himself is doing the sucking - he hires people for that, but you're right in spirit.
the cat will shit on the rug, piss on the couch and when you discipline it, it looks at you with a look of "What the fuck is your problem?!" and goes off and does it again.
Famous qoute, "First Kill all the lawyers" seems apropos. And I know it probably wasn't what was intended within the context of the play, but it sure does seem correct now.
No, no,no. That's like hitting all your dogs on the nose when one pisses on the rug.
Just shoot the assholes like these and let the other animals learn from that. And if Britain is creating lawyers half as fast as the US is, there will plenty of lawyers to fill in the gap.
Someone really pissed at the TSA for their current screening techniques sends a satirical letter, thank-you card or email to Pistole saying:
"Thank you so much for doing exactly what I want. You have been a great help for my cause in showing the American people what it's like to live in a Police state when they are in an airport and what my Muslim brothers have to deal with everyday.
Yours,
Osama Bin Laden."
Just what do you think would happen?
