First of all, there is no such thing as "fair" in a voluntary agreement. What is fair is that the agreement is voluntary, not that it makes you as happy as you want to be. Amazon should do whatever it can to get as much money as it can, and all of us should go with the cheapest provider, no matter who it is and how…

Everyone does not love Yuri Gagarin. I don't, and no one else should. He was an explicit supporter of a communist regime that murdered millions of people, and ruined the lives of far more. Even his supposed accomplishment was just a government-forced science project funded by stolen wealth to try to impress America,…

Yes, government funded cancer research is theft. If people want a cure, they can pay for it. Their need is not a claim on my money and life.

Aside from the totally naked assertion that these science projects are "vital for the present and future of the country," the article's title is obviously lurid and sensationalist, attempting to whip people up into a frenzy over the fact that Republicans dare stand up for cutting a few measly billion dollars out of a…

There is nothing wrong, and everything right, with the so-called greed on display here. How unseemly that a company would want to get paid for its services.

It's sad how commonly people throw out the "profit" accusation as if it were something EA should be ashamed of. How horrible they might be cutting manuals to increase their profits! What's even worse, though, is that they try to appease those people by implying that they are really doing it to "go green," as if that…

Yes, trite, hackneyed, pre-chewed and ingested food for thought.

Yes, well, they don't have to be "on a rampage against anything that remotely smells like regulation" to go after net neutrality, since it is, after all, regulation.

What this highlights more than anything is that compromise does not work. Consider the so-called "hawkish" Call of Duty. Saying that this is anything other than a useless, mushy middle-ground is ridiculous. She claims it is hawkish, presumably just because it features war, but it is anything but. Without spoiling the…

I cannot actually believe this is a serious post. You've been hacked, right?

I don't see how not buying it shows support for better collections. Buying it only means that you were willing to pay that price for it, not that you would not be willing to pay a higher price for something better. More like showing disinterest so as to encourage better and proportionally cheaper collections.

Please. The so-called revolution consists of a bunch of Israel-hating, theocratic Egyptians who want a non-Israel-hating dictator to abdicate so as to facilitate democracy, which will in turn consist of voting away the basic rights that people are entitled to in order to be more consistent with religious dogma. Gee,…

First of all, he said he "applauded the sentiment." That counts as applauding force against a private company. Second, it is not "shitty," or immoral, or anything else negative. It is good that Apple is trying to make as much money as it can out of this, morally imperative, in fact. This is not a matter of "bad but…

No, this article is disgusting and immoral; what is evil is your support of a "legal response" to a private business decision. Apple forced no one to make apps for them. If someone makes a great app and Apple makes it unbearable for them to continue to do so, then people will stop buying iPads if apps are that…

Look on the bright side: at least you're not throwing around accusations of racism and sexism as a catch-all excuse and rendering the terms meaningless.

No, it is not the kind of knowledge they should possess. No "balance" between industrialization and environment need be kept. All this does is propagate the deeply entrenched attitude that any "extreme" (capitalism or environmentalism) is bad. That is exactly what should not be reinforced, but uprooted.

Hmmm...So, as most honest people knew would happen, the socialization of housing has ended in abysmal failure. The downside to not subsidizing home ownership, however, is...people will not be able to get things for free? What a bummer, people have to pay the price of risk (higher interest rates or no loan). Of course,…

"Computer science needs more women..."

I generally watch something until its negatives become too unbearable (not necessarily that it is actively becoming worse, though it may be, but usually just that I start to notice how bad it really has always been).
