  1. It is all to the contrary. The only way our own "philosophy" can hold sway is if you dupe yourself into feeling deserving and then letting the good genetic makeup others have randomly (lucky you!) drawn for you to feed you.
  2. What anti-registry rural Canadian men should understand is that they will not keep their wives by saying to them that cities are dangerous places to live, much less by threatening them with their firearms.
  3. At the Far Left you find only (pro-gun) terrorists.
  4. In a totalitarian state, moral hazard doesn't exist.
  5. I live where there are sharks in banks.
  6. A chief is not speaking for himself alone.
  7. A police chief is also a taxpayer and a citizen. A citizen feels proud to live in a country that inventory dangerous objects. When people feel proud of their country, they are willing to police it for a lesser compensation. That is how savings are made.
  8. When money loses its public nature it vanishes.
  9. Money vanishes when it is captured by an Invisible Hand.
  10. This is a groundless ad hominem statement.
  11. To me AIG is the main responsible for the crisis; it has bet much more than its wealth that it could insure all these subprime mortgages. We cannot blame Democrats for believing that to get healthy neighborhoods owning houses is more effective than owning guns.
  12. "Increasing people's desert as conscientiousness is morally valuable, and the moral value of bringing it about that a person becomes more deserving by a unit is greater, the lower the person's lifetime desert would be absent that increase." (Richard Arneson) http://philosophyfaculty.ucsd.edu/faculty/...alitychap11.pdf
  13. It is difficult to find a man more involuntarily truthful and meaningful than Goodyear mentioning uneasily high heels relatively to the question he was asked. High heels essentially demonstrate how insignificant evolution and natural selection are. High heel are artificial objects that can transform men into fetishists to a point where they cannot have erections if mates don't wear them.
  14. To be rational and respectful of incentives, you have to say something like: voting is a social responsibility, if you don't want to participate then you deserve to pay a fine or those who participate deserve to receive a reward.
  15. In our society, the message we now receive 24/7 is: you deserve to enjoy life to the max!
  16. Eyeball has a point if you consider predatory lending.
  17. Per se means in-itself, that is without consideration of what the suffering of your ancestor has done to you.
  18. Do we deserve answers?
  19. ATM would stop if it had to verify if you deserve money or if you deserve that a public insurance guaranties the security of your savings.
  20. Money vanishes when city authorities are forced to spend part of their budgets to destroy houses.
  21. Canadians are coming too! Strahl announces yesterday funding to rebuild, refurbish Arctic research centres. http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianp...O-NfOJZZUAh2rJg
  22. If you ask the richest man on Earth, Bill Gates, what is it to create wealth and he will certainly answer that it is distributing information.
