Re: Dio Survivor 2010: Killing The Dragon round 3 (Dec 9-10) Egypt Throw Away Children Better in the Dark

Tax cuts always fix things.  Less control, less bureaucracy, less coersion, less self-appointed know-it-alls telling us what's best for "the public".  As for cuts, start with military bases, wars, getting rid of ObamaCare, Bush's "no child left behind". Bah!  That's a myth of the so-called...

Re: Iron Maiden Survivor 2010: FINALS #9 tiebreaker (Dec 8-9) Differences of opinion.  ;)

True.  I've seen Richard Dawkins interviewing one of these famous TV preachers.  (I don't care enough for his name to check it out).  When I saw the look on some of the faces among the flock, the look of, what to me was, faked rapture but without the self-knowledge of deception.  Brainwashed...

Re: Iron Maiden Survivor 2010: FINALS #9 tiebreaker (Dec 8-9) I'll have to increase the lead with BTATS.

What do you mean?  In the two examples I used above, prisons and stadiums, the taxpayer owns nothing.

Sorry to all for responding to posts late and messing up the neat flow that's been made here.  :innocent: Rather the taxpayer, whether current or future, gets stuck with the price tag.  ;)

Validates my view that public-private enterprises are bad all around.  On the same scale, but a much less serious degree, is funding of stadium via public-private means.  The taxpayer gets ignored, expect when forced to foot the bill.  In the prison example, people are going to jail often for a...

I've heard stories like this before.  People of military background teaching youth.  The usual explanation is that those who've learned to obey without question will expect the same when the shoe is on the other foot.  Not a good recipe for education and critical thinking. Great points all...

@ Foro: I was in a rush and mistyped.  Before I had a chance to change it, I had to go.  The bad edit is "non" before "secular".  The way I left it was redundant, redundant and made no sense.  Anyway, you may still not understand.  In a word, I don't buy altruism as a good ethical system.

Sorry, I know this was a conversation between you and Wasted, but I just started reading this and thought I'd give my own brief thoughts.  My understanding is that the author thinks believing in free-will is bad because it leads to blame and punishment?!  That's not the problem with free-will...

I believe you because metal isn't popular like it was in the 80s.  Back then so many bands had a song on TV evangelists and bashing religious leaders, the label of 'satanic' was easy to stick. 

Hey, those Polish workers are there presumably because the pay if better than in Poland.  As for Qatar hosting WC 2022, I can see it because FIFA's stated goal is to promote the game everywhere and as long as they fill the seats, and they will anywhere, they're pleased.  Having said that, I...
