4. Well that WOULD be the case if regulation and barriers to entry weren't keeping many people from doing so but that's not the rich people's fault, it's the governments.  Stop being so easily distracted people.  You're being duped.

Not only that, but their entire argument is a Zero Sum Fallacy. Rich people for the most part get rich by CREATING wealth, not fighting for it and taking it from others.

I'd like to nominate the whole schmeer for Most Ignorant Article Ever.

It probably deserves it, but I still can't hate it that much because he did a good job of making Wayne Allyn Root look like a douche.

This may be the most screwed up thing I've ever read.

  "  The unidentified infant died Sept. 28, 2011, at Maimonides Hospital, according to a spokeswoman for the city Medical Examiner,       who confirmed the death after a News inquiry.

    The cause of death was listed as "disseminated herpes simplex virus Type 1, complicating ritual circumcision with oral suction."

in other words, some asshole sucked a kid's genitals in fellatio after circumcising him?

EDIT: I can't believe anyone would do this!

It's Jewish tradition, called metzitzah b'peh. The moyl sucks the blood from the baby's penis after circumcision.

"Yes, absolutely. Physical punishment is a great way to make children understand the concept of harmful negative consequences, as well as a way to introduce the idea that other people may harm you if you act in a way that bothers them (a valuable lesson in social interaction). Is it child abuse? Yeah, in a literal sense, it is child abuse. Is it wrong? Not at all."

And I think that debate just hit rock bottom.

And don't forget, gave him a fatal infection when he did it.

they actually have a tradition called "sucking with the mouth", to be done on babies? and this isn't me guessing at the meaning: all the words in that term are in Arabic too, though it sounds different.

EDIT: you know what, fuck it: say what you want about circumcision, but this? this is wrong.

[MrBogosity]

I don't know what it means, but that's what they call it.

[Ibrahim90]

I don't know what it means, but that's what they call it.

believe me, it's "sucking with the mouth":

metzizah is cognate to "masisah", an "exaggerated" noun referring to any suction action. the sad in Arabic became tsad in Hebrew.

b-: that identical to the Arabic instrumental "with".

peh: that is cognate to "faah" in arabic, meaning mouth. (Arabic is unusual in that the p becomes an f; otherwise, it's usually more conservative than Hebrew)

in Arabic, it would be rendered "al-masees bilfaah".

and for the record: no, this isn't done by Arabs. in fact, I doubt most Arabs know a thing about it. EDIT: the mouth sucking, not circumcision.

Wow:

The average downloader offered to pay $9.18, giving themselves a nice 87 percent discount off the retail price.

Or maybe they've just been given a data point as to how overpriced their crap is.
