Wait a minute...

How can they levy a fine without some sort of court process at least being available?  It's not a TAX if you can automatically contest it through a court proceeding of some sort.
That's a big point of mine: calling it a "tax" allows them to completely violate due process.

Let's see now...

6: "The companies have to take in more money than they're paying out for that to work. And they are taking in a goddamn fuckload of extra."

What they like to skip over is the fact that most of that fuckload of extra is reinvested.  It's not all going towards new yachts and gold toilets.

5: Okay, sick and tired of De Beers being vilified just because some people are weak willed and cave to peer pressure.  If your wife hates you for not buying her an overpriced diamond, find a better wife.  It's that simple.  Don't blow your hard earned money for the sake of ill founded "Traditions."  Life is WAY too short.

4. You can swing Christmas quite cheaply if you're smart about it actually.  Folks, your kids don't really care THAT much about presents.  What they ultimately want more than anything is you.  Nothing more.

3.  There's no shame in renting, seriously.  It's worked great for me.

2. Wow...he actually restrained himself from vilifying banks for not handing out loans like candy to everyone.  Gold star John!

1. See the Bullshit episode about Funerals.  Funerals are for the living, not the dead.  The dead don't care.
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
The more you know...

yeah, but I'm sure you know what the American dream is about: a house, two cars, two kids, and a wife who makes sandwitches....

Meh

THANK YOU!  Glad to see someone calling people on that.

Don't forget, the Government wanted to make sure everyone owned a house. I forget how that turned out.

yeah, I forgot too...

yeah, that's basically it really: a lot of people want "the best", and feel worthless or as "failures" if they don't. And the stupid part? the same people elected bastards who created this housing bubble, the College Bubble, and so on...I'm not one to make windows into man's soul, so I'm not going to state why they elect such people, or favor such policies. but I'll leave it to you to determine what my suspicions are.

Meh

who said Western democracies are the only places to go to?
Meh

There is optimism, and then there is simply being naive.


"So - Barclay's Bank is a huge global bank - they along with 18 other global banks are now being investigated for price fixing of interest rates. As in - violation of the anti-trust act. It's a big deal."

Some idiot who calls himself Icarus.

Price fixing interest rates, I asked him if they were investigating the Federal Reserve. No response yet.

So after watching this video, this exchange happened...

Quote from: LimeyCanuck83
I know exactly what you're saying, but do you want government telling people what they can and can't buy even if it is [welfare money]?

Quote from: Altimadark
Do you want government telling the town drunk he can do whatever he wants with the money they took from your paycheck?

Quote from: LimeyCanuck83
your only asuming he's a town drunk... this could be anyone who qualifies for this welfare check. I know that smokes on free money is bullshit. but this is his or her money, be it (our forced charity, whatever). I just think getting the goverment into telling people what they can't buy is worse!

The problem is who qualifies i guess...

Quote from: Altimadark
It's not "assuming," it's a hypothetical situation. He IS the town drunk. He is inclined to drink copious amounts of alcohol.

Okay, to be fair, LimeyCanuck83 doesn't seem like a bad guy, but you know what they say about the road paved with good intentions.
Failing to clean up my own mistakes since the early 80s.

Pretty much everything FSAthe1st has to say in this video and the comments:

This portion of the comment is all that is needed.

Wow, butt-hurt much? I'm POSITIVE I don't keep going on about commenters to my channel long after they've stopped bothering me. There are definite issues there.

Well, he CLAIMS people keep pointing out that he's wrong, but he doesn't even supply things he doesn't understand to support that claim.
