Comment Re: My biggest expense (Score 1) 237

What a complete joke of a reply. Progressive tax rates exist is every other so called first world country on the planet. Of course, America is the only exception. You also have the lowest life expectancy and highest crime rate of any first world country. I specifically mentioned Reaganomics which is exactly the shitty economic model you explained to the rest of us. Obviously these loop holes are purposely created by your government representatives since they use them as much as anyone else. Thankfully I do not need to write my representative because I do not live in the shitty US of A. Just keep on backing up trump and see how much better your country becomes.

Comment What has Changed? (Score 1) 84

The Terminator came out in 1984 during the Cold War. Nuclear weapons, climate change, etc. were all possible way humans would cause their own extinction. Nothing has changed in the last 40 years beyond computers. AI is essentially no closer now, than it was back then to creating a sentient entity. Dr Strangelove had an automatic launch sequence for the Russians; it does not need to be sentient to cause our destruction. Maybe trying to write seventh movie in a series is a sign you should move onto something new. I agree the dropping nuclear bombs was horrendous. I would argue carpet bombing Japanese cities before hand was horrendous. The bombing of Dresden targeted the entire city including civilians. The bombings of London, the attack on Pearl Harbor, Singapore, etc were horrible. How about the American genocide of First Nations in the preceding few hundred years. How about the sexual slavery, human experimentation, using chemical weapons on civilians by the Japanese amongst many other war crimes. All horrible but why is one more horrible than the other.

Comment Re: Sen. Rand Paul (Score 1) 104

Go with Archi for making sense. I do not know a Rand Paul before today so I care not who he is beyond cause a 60 year old physician to tackle him after he was being a jackass. Violence is certainly never the answer but nothing he seems to do is acceptable. To bad America first choice to solve every problem in their history is violence so wonder where people get it from.

Comment Wrong America (Score 1) 104

From the internet shockinglyâ¦Among the most notable monopolies in American history are Standard Oil, American Tobacco, U.S. Steel, and AT&T. The Sherman Antitrust Act banned trusts and monopolistic combinations that placed âoeunreasonableâ restrictions on interstate and international markets.

Comment Good for Humanity (Score 4, Funny) 11

I am so inspired that corporations continue to make products for the good of humanity. I certainly never would have never realized an entity who has stated goals of maximizing profits and shareholder values benefited humanity. Silly me I must have a different definition of humanity that includes more than the company and their shareholders. Sarcastic twit signing off.

Comment Re: Good but Resistance is Sad (Score 1) 69

You are simpletons if you think I implied any of this is simple. I simply simplified the article for simpletons then expressed my opinion. I know it is anything but simple to justify allowing new organ transplant procedures to the mostly ignorant masses while these all require clear consent. It is immensely ironic of people to impose their opinion on other people who wish to consent to a medically sound procedure because you have moral qualms. You are all entitled to your opinions whether you lack simple reading comprehension or not, so have at it.

Comment Good but Resistance is Sad (Score 1) 69

To make it simple. They take organs from a dead person then make the organs alive again then put them in a living but soon to be dead person without the organ transplant otherwise. I am more concerned about the dying people instead of dead people who were presumably organ donors. Not like they are forcing these organs on anyone; feel free to drop dead if you do not want them but leave the rest of us alone.

Comment Spiderman Games (Score 1) 20

They mostly made shite Spiderman games starting with the Atari 2600 until the GameCube finally brought an amazing game. Not much has truly changed other than what technology can do to support an open world game. Sony did such an amazing job, sarcastically speaking, at eventually figuring out how badly they were utilizing their intellectual property after Marvel was desperate enough to sell it to them. Cross promotions have been going on since before the Flintstone and Jetsons so yet again nothing original including enough people forgetting or being born to think these not innovative business practices are innovating.

Comment Governments Job (Score 1) 346

Any corporation will conduct business where is it legal and presumably profitable. The government of the United States is the one that should do more sanctions if anyone is supposed to. Corporations only honest states goals are in stakeholder meetings and it is only about maximizing profit and shareholder value not be an ethical or moral entity beyond legal mandates.
