One of the things that attracted me to the first Halo series was the humanity of the writing. Halo (especially the first one) never glorified violence in the lore of the game. There is much lamenting the horrifying situation that Master C

Absolutely. It was the PlayStation that first marketed itself as the system for hardcore gamers.

What? This post criticized corporations (Jackson-Hewitt in particular). The point was that people need to take individual responsibility for their tax liability.

I suppose if you divorce the concepts of "Captialism" and "Free Markets" this is true, but they are typically thought of togther.

It's not irrelevant - you claimed that the reason legislative deadlock occurs is that people refused to be taxed more. What about the people who refuse to cut automatic increases to spending? Are they to be absovled?

Of course, "Bread and Circuses" is a pejorative describing the fall of Rome: ...Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command,

Obviously this won't be the case for our generation. It won't? I often wonder what new technology my kids will get into in 30 years that I won't understand or care about. Obviously, it is different for geeks as we tend to keep up with t

Your comment ignores my original point which is that homemakers have economic value, but it's still worthy of a response. Obviously children are not in control of who takes care of them, but that would be true whether the parents worked or

Merit == Value to others. Most of the time, that will require effort though.

by hnal943 14y ago
This article seems to misunderstand the definition of merit as something related to education or money. In a true meritocracy your standing is based on your value to others. If you do valuable work, the market rewards you. If not, then n

Whichever rule set you choose, you're always going to disenfranchise someone. What about people with a rich parent who doesn't invest in their education? Under your system, education would be unavailable to them because they would be a po

In the US, housing values have crashed since the bubble burst in early 2007. Americans have a bigger problem securing mortgages than they do finding an affordable home.

LA is hardly representative of the driving experience in the USA.

Surely you would need further experimentation to prove your new hypothesis, right? It doesn't seem very rigorous to just shrug your shoulders and publish a hypothesis that fits the data.

I don't think anyone suggested taking him along, but even so you could take make pitstop in 2009 and pick him up if need be.

The difference is that in universal health care, the government puts a gun to your head and forces you to "help."

Politicians and citizens alike were pounding on the banks to lower their standards before the crash. Everywhere there was rhetoric about home ownership being a right, and that the evil banks were standing in the way. It's not like this wa

Being and entrepeneur does not require you to approve the actions of other entrepenuers. Surely you can be an entrepeneur and have higher moral standards than Donald Trump.

Refusing the money and sarcastically thanking the donor for "ruining animal shelters" are two drastically different reactions.

Dead people voting is manipulation. Just because more votes are cast doesn't mean they are legitimate.

Democrats have routinely fought efforts to cleanse voter registrations that for people that have died, moved or never existed in the first place. When votes are cast under these names, they disenfranchise legitimate voters. This is the ve
