In my opinion (which might be wrong) your duty as a parent is to equip your kid with the tools it needs to be able to face the challenges life throws at him/her. What would make your kid _happy_ would be to play all day and do nothing

Probably a more accurate statement would be: "So they got scared and jumped the gun and in so doing risked ruining someones life in an attempt to protect the Scala community."

He probably meant text. Which is what I had in mind when I asked the question too. Text is way cheaper than audio and you can opt in audio after an text ice breaker.

Didn't find any mention of capitalism here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture . Not sure on what basis you make this statement.

I mean, it would be stupid if the government involved itself into the market to not take advantage of that. What exactly are you proposing? That a company would want the competitors to get handouts and not want them for themselves? That&#x2

So you're saying if you try to build a product, fail and want to acquire that product from another company - now that you have 0 competition with that product - that should somehow be illegal? Why exactly? Also what product did Adobe h

I don't know exactly how you define markets or capitalism but I'm pretty sure when small tribes meet and exchanged merchandise (money was not even a thing then) that's a text book definition of a market. And a Capitalist mark

Fair point. That might be the case... I fail to see how Capitalism inevitably requires Big Government in the same way that Communism inevitably requires centralized power but it might be my problem and you might be right. I'll have to

> Capitalism is only maintained through state power exercised by the capitalist ruling class. Your confusing Capitalism with Government Aided Corporatism :)

> I can't think of many industries that didn't see direct help from the government in one way or another. That might be a necessary evil but has nothing to do with Capitalism. Throughout the time we've seen different degre

It's hilarious that you would attribute that to capitalism when the Fossil Fuel and Gas industry was one of the most subsidised industries over the last 100 years. Capitalism is against government helping any kind of company :)

That's fine. I can negotiate my own breaks and days of work. Maybe I need 1 break and I want to work the full week cause I need the money. If I want what the union is offering, I can always join the union, then I get the union "pa

To me this sounds weird. I'm from Eastern Europe, no strong unions there by the way so it must be a West/North Europe kind of thing. I understand unions fighting for people who joined a union. But if I purposefully don't join

Doesn't this contradict your previous statement where you defined rape as "forcing someone to have sex against their will"? Is having sex with a 12 years old despicable and morally unexcusable? Yes. Is it rape? Unless you&#x2

I wanted to say exactly this (the first part, I don't care enough about Stallman to have any kind of opinion about him). In plenty of countries in the world (including UK) the age of consent in 16 (which personally I find problematic b
