Congratulations. You've discovered what everyone who reads CNN knows already.
I wish you were right, Matthew. |

The domain is coming, Matthew. It's just KalyHost is not efficient.

Its almost as if there were essential things that every society needs and that wherever you have people, you have to contribute to these essentials. If you want something, pay for it. Don't demand other people pay for it. That's just common sense. If something requires ongoing maintenance, for example the coast guard, and if it is in the national interest, then it needs to be paid for by everyone and in small regular instalments called tax. That's just common sense. Yes, public goods will be underproduced in the absence of government, BUT: 1.There is no objective way of measuring the "optimal" production of public goods. 2.There is no objective way of measuring to what extent something is a public good, as ALL goods are to some extent public. 3.Government is likely to take advantage of this and start to produce goods that it has no business producing, leading to excessive taxation. Your coast guard example can be resolved with private insurance. Wanna be saved from your sailboat? Get insurance beforehand. The advantage of this system is that you can choose a higher quality rescue team if you're willing to pay for it. Presumably, there will also be a basic rescue package financed by charity. This is exactly how it works for extreme mountaineers, by the way. So why can't it work for sailors? I'd rather have an underproduction of public goods than overtaxation. But that's just me. Yeah, you're just completely wrong. There are many methods of elucidating the value of public goods to people. It's certainly harder than for normal goods, but it's not a blind shot in the dark. And I'm sure you wouldn't love the underproduction of public goods when you saw how fucking miserable your life would be with out any environmental regulation, public trash and sewer systems, utilities in some cases, fire and police protection, and public health. Fucking people espouse all these ridiculous ideas from a featherbed. Nobody has espoused no environmental regulation nor no utilities. All we want are accountable services not held by a government monopoly. |

Yay! Then the poor will be guaranteed to starve and freeze as well! Government guarantees this happens. Can you point to example where government money has not? I would be interested. Or a example where "free Market" currency has harmed the poor, in the absent of government perversion? Just one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_privatization#Cochabamba.2C_BoliviaAnd I know you won't read it, so here: "In the previous years, despite funds made available by the World Bank to support the public utility of Cochabamba, access to piped water in the city had decreased to 40%, water losses had remained high at 40% and water was supplied only 4 hours a day. Those not connected to the network paid ten times as much for their water to private vendors as those who were." For water. This is a good example pretty much because it's one of the few "goods" we need to live. Private != Free market Crony state-enabled capitalism is not properly incentivized services and goods. Sub-contracting a state monopoly is not the free market at work. |

US Government did partially or mostly nationalize some banks during the bailout. They still own 73% of Ally Bank.
I did not know this. I am absolutely dumbfounded yet not surprised. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLjZoA3GaVEhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Goldstein; 14 points of Fascism 3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause
The most significant common thread among these regimes was the use of scapegoating as a means to divert the people’s attention from other problems, to shift blame for failures, and to channel frustration in controlled directions. The methods of choice—relentless propaganda and disinformation—were usually effective. Often the regimes would incite “spontaneous” acts against the target scapegoats, usually communists, socialists, liberals, Jews, ethnic and racial minorities, traditional national enemies, members of other religions, secularists, homosexuals, and “terrorists.” Active opponents of these regimes were inevitably labeled as terrorists and dealt with accordingly.

Well, we all would love to think that..
But..
Reality is different my friend.
You will find things and life fall into place a bit easier when the whole world isnt against you.
When you constantly fail everyones lessons and for the most part simple advice. No one will take the time to show you anymore, and it compounds this problem you might be having, or will have in the future.
Cant help people that dont want to be helped.
Does this fit you ?
Heh. If somebody had given me great advice, I would of certainly taken it. I consider everything that is said. Unfortunately and oh-so-sadly most of it is inflated garbage coming from pretentious old men. "Oh, I have had life experience! I'll teach this at risk youth what it means to live!" And they boast and they brag about their adventures and what it means to be a man. Oh, how cock-sure they are in their words of wisdom for they have lived and suffered. To speak about it all in good light can assure it wasn't in vain. Maybe if they are able to sell me on their words can they take ownership over my success and accomplishments. I am my own man, teflone. All of you are trying to be my parent. If I were to ever consider you my friends, you would have to assume I know what is best for myself. I havent tried to be rude with you, but in a nutshell, all these people are bothered by your lack of thought. We all here see something.. it bothers us. nothing to a great deal (most of us) But we wish you would learn something, we hope you will learn something. We get upset at how the "lessons" are wasted, or rejected for no other reason than to reject them. Age is wisdom, and if you pride yourself on thinking your smart, then suck this stuff up like a sponge, and dont reject it as nonsense just because its old guys spitting out parental advice for no reason. Its much more relevant than you are clearly allowing it to be. Being the bigger man is sometimes the best and hardest thing to do - in regards of this domain drama. Im out!. Cheers, I wish you well No, I have plenty of thought. You just don't agree with it. |

It wasn't hard to spot. Learn to live some of your dogma, and embrace your challenges, and stop picking fights that nobody wins. You went and got Matthew grounded with your silly spat. It's a frickin' domain. The users in this community probably control 500,000 domains collectively. Don't be a giant putz about it, give it to him with some class and walk away from the battle, it really isn't worth it. Then people will admire your maturity and your disciplined approach to handling conflict.
Don't let this silly shit here get to you. There are actually some really good people out in the world that might serve as a reasonable example if you can take a moment and listen without going ballistic trying to compete/fit-in/rule the world.
Are you trying to get a high off being a mentor or something? Hahaha. Look, I act as I please. I don't need a father figure. No, you worthless little fuck-wit, I have no interest in being a father figure to a simpleton. The mentoring that I do does not involve spoiled little brats with too much time on their hands, delusions of grandeur and internet connections. I was offering you advice on how to gracefully get out of the septic tank you have created out of your reputation in this community. What a waste of breath! Keep digging shit miner, that hole has a bottom somewhere down there. Heh, I only take advice from people who have attempted to understand me first; I only take advice from friends. Anyways, I am not in a septic tank. I have no regrets. You know, maybe LoupGaroux wasnt tactful enough, but he was giving good advice in my eyes, and you returned the favour by slapping him in the face. He had your number, hit the nail on the head.. Maybe you could suck it up a little and think about what he said. Your Ass-purgers syndrome shouldnt be an excuse for you to act the way you do, it should be a hurdle for you to strive to climb over.. Oh, I thought about it and refuted most of it based on the fact that it's nothing novel. Also, I am apathetic to most of his presumptions. Desire is suffering. I don't strive to change myself so I can be more appealing to your sensibilities. It isn't relevant to my happiness. |

Why do you try so hard to use big words?
Your response to me was bizzare and very out there..
Your idea of "adult talk" is warped, very few people speak with no emotion, or like a robot professor would talk.. Im at a loss of how to describe it.
It is not having the effect your looking for. fyi
My writing is fine. I am typing with little effort, frankly. I would prefer you to address the discussion at hand. And since you are so desperately crying out for a dose of grammar Nazi salts- the loss you reference in relation to teflone's statement would be more accurately be introduced by "would have...", "would of..." is a misinterpretation of the colloquialism that you were reaching for, and as the entire subject matter under discussion here is in written form, you would be far more on topic to to write that you have "read his refute", as written wisdom cannot be heard. Unless, of course you are reading out loud, and trying to sound out the difficult words. Which would explain a lot. It really would of. Pedantry. ಠ_ಠ Some bleach for that abuse of language: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7E-aoXLZGY |

Your writing is fine, but its when your trying soooo hard to sound smart, is where you lose us.
Trying, heh? I am really not trying to do anything. I actually feel I don't give these arguments and their participants their due effort sometimes. Anyways, your loss and mine too. I would of been happy to hear you refute me with your wisdom, teflone. |

If there wasn't organized oppression, there wouldn't be organized resistance and what we call terrorism wouldn't exist.

Abraham Lincoln is Un-American. He violated the constitution more than any other president.
I had an impression of him as quite nationalist and with great respect for ths original constitution. Paradox. |

The only "injustice" that would be felt is jealousy.
To quote my writing:
Jealousy is simply hating a person for experiencing pleasure or good fortune. How senseless. Primal -- but senseless. From this basis comes the absurd concept of "fairness"; the sense of entitlement from another's fortune. The only result of acting on this emotion is destruction.
Unsurprisingly, you're using another word wrongly. What you're describing is envy, not jealously. The two words aren't synonyms. Jealousy is about keeping what one has whereas envy is about resentment caused by not having what one wants. For the sake of the argument, when I say jealousy I mean envy; however, from what I am seeing in actual dictionary definitions, they should be synonyms. |

I don't drive a motor vehicle. Those are for commercial entities. I travel in an automobile for personal pleasure. That is a right. Anyways, read Common Law some time. It probably doesn't apply to you since you revoked your right to travel when you signed your license. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cci5MSvsSmc |
