It means the conversation is not welcome here. Which, given the prevalence of discussion on similar issues, does indeed tell us a lot.

Is that really your only observation about the utterly extreme public positions I mentioned above? Very well. Name one.

Well, comments raising the issue are almost universally down-voted without comment. I imagine that tells us quite a bit.

Its fantastic the gender issue is being looked at. And it's nice that non-US citizens are funded. But what percentage of the founders were pg's age or older?

One of the more interesting things is that the demos were almost entirely just the demo form a marching cubes package they bought on the Unity Asset store for $100 [1]. Even down to the textures. The only additional feature were the two rig

No collective guilt at all. Simply if you own land in North America you have bought stolen goods and have no more legitimate claim on it than anyone else. You can not say "this is mine because I bought it from someone who bought it fro

If you steal my car and give it to your kids I can get it back can't I? So how about giving back North-America to the rightful owners? Since this is by far the largest and longest standing misappropriation of wealth on the continent, I

Has no one suggested privatizing all the surface streets? After all, if you don't like the toll on the road in front of your property, you can sell it and move to a street owned by a company that charges less. Paradise rapidly ensues!

The article is making the following argument: - Some professional association call for licensure. - There is a case of bad licensure in Utah. - Therefore all licensure is bad. - Therefore all professional associations are bad. I would cite

In what conceivable way is any Licensure compatible with any libertarian principle? Any government issued license is completely incompatible with libertarian values by definition. So no, not straw-man: crackpot.

Utah is an extreme right wing theocracy. Whatever happens in Utah is most certainly _not_ the work of unions.

Is the job of braiding hair only for rich people in your country? Should your argument apply to doctors too? No restrictions on entering because people who don't go to med school will be locked out? But do come over to the US, you can

Unions could be mis-used that way. Like anything, they could also be misused in any way. The point of a Union is to protect employees from employers period. It is not to limit their own membership by restricting entry into a field nor to be

They are not shocked when it happens. The attempt to force employes to stay on using non-compete agreements among other things is exactly because they know employees must move on to survive. They know very well that the failure to provide p

Just a quick glance at craigslist for 1000sq foot rental in San Jose, CA shows that expatistan's "expensive price" is below average. While the Valencia Spain rental price is higher than any I have ever seen personally. Likewi

Wherever numbeo and expatistan get their data, it's utterly hilarious that the summaries rank San Jose CA about the same as Valanecia/Alicante Spain. Let me just say, there is an absolutely ludicrous error somewhere.

The link above does not speak about different cancer funds. It simply shows that cancer patients without insurance just die. That is obviously how it works without universal medical care; sick people don't just magically get better wit

So you're saying there has always been universal healthcare in the US even before Obama was elected? That everyone has always gotten all the medical care they need? Or are you saying uninsured people don't get sick? In fact roughl

Ah yes that is obviously much better than extrapolating from anecdotes. But of the few European countries compared, at least two have deregulated pricing for generics which is exactly the point we're talking about isn't it? The ot
