I see we have some extreme leftists in the house. Pol pot, mao, and stalin should be on your list too.

"Castro, and Mandela" Mandela and Castro are murderers. Why are they even included on your list?

I suppose if "you win" means a jail sentence, then yes.

Maybe because you are younger than all of your peers and you end up missing out many things because of it.

When many regulations and unions that won't fire bad teachers are the norm, it's fresh thinking.

by rick888 15y ago
Why does everyone defend the unions so much here? They are the reason we have a sub-par education system in the US. Teachers get automatic raises not based on merit and it's very difficult to fire a bad teacher. Until this problem is fix

"No. But if I had been in a system with a shorter summer vacation from the beginning, I don't think I would care too much." I suppose it's like someone that lives in North Korea: They don't know the freedoms they are missing because they'v

it's the software+service+phone that make up the value (and final cost) of the phone. Not the individual physical parts.

I'm more interested in countries that make it easy for a company to grow. If taxes and restrictions are high, but it's cheap and easy to start a company, it doesn't really help me as a business owner.

I wish the same people who supported the occupation of wall street supported the rights of software developers and musicians. More money is demanded from the protesters, yet when developers and musicians have a problem with people downloadi

I have to disagree with you there. If Mcdonalds had such an "awful" product, nobody would eat there and it wouldn't be as popular. There are plenty of alternatives.

I can't imagine a 91% tax at any level. That's just plain robbery.

This is exactly what happened at my last company. The president was a coder and always wanted to work on features that had a strict deadline for our clients. He would give us the code a few days before and we would have to break our backs

There are no main chain grocery stores (like Meijer) in Detroit proper. So I guess there are some grocery stores, but not quality ones. "Stop believing lies and anecdotal evidence and your failed assumptions from living far away from the c

The other problem with the ideas guy is that they usually can't see how difficult something is and want it asap. What ends up happening is that they either change their idea mid-stream or move onto something else. If they actually had any

"David, with due respect. You're sounding a bit hypocritical here. You make reference to Detroit as an "Armpit" when, in the same sentence you make reference to only "reading about it". Congratulations on becoming a sucker to the media ster

If this happened, we would have many people claiming that many universities were discriminating against the poor, because their loans wouldn't cover tuition.

This list is misleading. over half are from the Ann Arbor area and a few are in California (and other states) with a few remote offices in Ann Arbor. They really should be pushing for Ann Arbor to be a tech center, not Detroit.

"that's far better than making 15-25% in the stock market because there's no risk" Not really, because clipping coupons won't ever make you enough to retire.

"So if he gets cancer or heart disease (most common serious illnesses), he is fucked, and will be fucked every year, if he can still afford that insurance after the first year." I already looked. $3000 deductible, no lifetime limits, and i

"Remember how upset they got when their bonuses were in danger unless they got bailed out?" Entitlement is entitlement. Your argument is that of a child: he's doing something wrong, so I am too. Why can't they be above it? "If you're a ta

Yes, but you won't go bankrupt like so many people claim you will without health insurance. Why don't more people get this $80 plan?

"Projecting your life upon others is remarkably naive." My problem with the whole thing is the level of entitlement that everyone seems to have. I started seeing it a few years ago with the downloading of movies, software, advertising (just

If you don't have health insurance, many of the big companies have plans that aren't that expensive. Your deductible will be a couple thousand (which isn't that much compared to having no insurance) and it will only cost you $80 or $90 per
