I have no idea whether or not mental outlook has that effect but we're damning a US senate candidate who said that it did. I don't think that was quite what he said, if you are referring to Tod Akin.

It is an insult to the human condition to propose that we owe our personal success to government. All ownership rights that are not built on direct possession are down to the social contract of government. Without that you would have no r

Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. I just looked u

some asshole will tell you that you didn't actually build your business. I though the whole thing was very similar to Carl Sagan's comment - If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe. - and I neve

You're still stuck with a bill, if you're a foreigner. In the UK you are not, purely because they don't do the accounting that way in the first place as it would cost a lot of extra money to keep track of billing when no-one is being indi

Rather than paying to patent, how about being paid not to patent? Have an open database of invention and track the market, paying money out to inventors whose ideas are the most widely used by using money from the VAT budget.

Things like killing your neighbour and then leaving the country is pretty much what the international wanted list is for. Interpol mostly deals with ordinary crime and very rarely calls on Jackie Chan.

Well, it's true that he worked with many artists and that others were also revolutionising the comic book form around the same period, but Gaiman really captured some sort of zeitgeist with the sandman series that opened up the field for th

So, the claims are that capitalism is based on information and knowledge and not greed and that greed leads to socialism? Is certainly an interesting opinion. My first thoughts were that he seems to be confusing motives and methods. Informa

You are taking away options from the creator, most notably the option to sell his stuff. I am removing the option to sell rights, not stuff. In other words I am calling for the rights to be statutory and non-transferable. Removing the opt

They'd have to include in that the deal to licence your patent from you, which would give a lot more options to the creator on how they want to proceed, which would make sense if the purpose of a patent is for it to empower inventors themse

if he managed to push her into quitting it was probably worth being a little mean about it. Only if being mean to someone is a much more effective way of making them quit. It is just as likely to stress them out and make them smoke more.
