So, we are in agreement then? Taxes are enforced with violence.

No anarchist here, but try not paying your taxes for long enough and the violence will come.

You must have missed (or willfully ignore) the part where it says this mode of interdiction has more civilian casualties than any other we have tried. So just maybe it isn't the best way to deal with the threat at hand.

Or stand near anyone conspiring to blow anything up, or buy a used phone from someone conspiring to blow anything up... did you even read the article? 283+ civilian casualties to date, with more collateral damage than any other form of in

My first CompSci professor told me that he had trouble at MIT grasping some of his early math where they were using n-dimensions, and when he asked his professor what the 'n-ball' was, he drew a circle on the board and said '

It certainly depends on the contract the headhunter has with the company, but I have followed up on this suspicion by asking a few people who 'know', and they told me this can often be the case. It makes sense to me at least - if

As I was getting out of college I posted a resume online. Before I had any leads from that, I ended up getting a job through a networking event. Two years later, I get an email from a headhunter who found my original resume. It led to my

Yeah, there is an establishment north of Houston that is a very common stop on the way from Houston to Dallas. They pay pretty high above market, and from what I can tell, it seems to work. Kinda sad that, by definition, everyone can&#x27

For better or for worse, the guy working hard to replace your roof is easier to replace than you are - this is because you have a skill set he doesn't that takes a lot of time and resources to develop. In addition, your work (likely)

That statistic is compiled by the census bureau, and last I checked, unemployed people are part of the census and likely part of the statistic, especially since it can indicate when one person has all the income. What I find odd is the arti

This completely depends upon the industry, but from my experience in retail, I'd say the percentage of deadbeats / honest folks (when it comes to work ethic) is higher than you might think. At least here in the US.

Finally, someone who understands me. Although this is the first time I've been called both a dick and a white knight in the same thread. I'll chalk that up as a win.

The 'boring' remark is the only thing that set me off. The post without that would seem reasonable - as it stands though, it looks like someone complaining about not having something more interesting to read about, not someone ex

So, like everyone else in this entire comment section, I will ask - do you have any evidence to contradict the studies that show that home-schooled students generally do better than their public schooled equivalent? Or are you merely asser

I think that's mostly due to Austin's small size and exclusivity, but it's also a lot of 'image' that Austinites like to reinforce. I also find it entertaining that the self-described most 'progressive' c

Well, first of all, 'vaccinophobia' isn't often directly related to religion. A lot of 'naturalists' reject vaccine science. Second, I find it sad that your solution to existential threats to 'free and open s
