so you pick the company that thinks 1 comes after 360
Well, if we're talking in geometry, 1º comes after 360º.

It'd be interesting to see her up against Rand Paul in the general election.

I got the vibe that Ray wasn't enjoying himself as much in these last few months with AH.

When everyone is rich no one is rich. Wealth inequality will always exist in a market economy.
This is true. But we shouldn't encourage exacerbating the issue by adopting something like a flat tax. We need varying tax rates. "One size fits all" does not work for us.
I tend to favor Milton Friedman's proposal of a regressive tax system where if you make below a certain threshold you receive money from the government, and once you're over that threshold you enter progressive tax brackets that eventually reach a flat tax rate of 20-30%.
I could get behind that. But the right will demonize such a system as encouraging people to be poor, etc etc etc
Thing is, the only way I can see it really working is if there's a massive overhaul of the welfare system, since the money you receive from the government is supposed to serve as your "welfare". I do imagine that a lot of this would cut what little fraud there is, since welfare would be dealt purely with cash. I also wonder what society would be like if the minimum amount of money any citizen could receive per month was $300-500.

Camnator, is that you?
Well, I guess this discussion is over, seeing as how you have no intelligent retort.
It's true, though. You can't just ignore a law that you personally object to.
Well all have a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.
No, you have the responsibility to change or remove unjust laws. Because disobeying a law will just get you locked up, fined, shot, etc.
Civil disobedience is one of the most effective ways to enact change. Prohibition and segregation would still be around if people didn't deliberately disobey those laws to make a point. Disobeying a law does not exempt you from its punishment. Never said that.

“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
― John Steinbeck
And how many workers, do you think, who do think of themselves as exploited proletarians actually end up becoming millionaires?
Because I guarantee, whatever the poor situation social mobility is currently in, the Marxoids are doing badly precisely because they're Marxoids.
It's not even about socialism and marx, really; you can take that out of the quote entirely and it still rings true for so many Americans. They aren't poor and getting fucked, they're just temporarily down on their game and mildly inconvenienced; they'll be rich soon, don't worry. They eat that shit up because it makes the feel less shitty about the situation they're in.
But it doesn't work that way. We can't all just...become rich.
When everyone is rich no one is rich. Wealth inequality will always exist in a market economy.

Anger, present an argument about why it's wrong. All you're doing is saying "you're wrong, I'm right" over and over.
Well, I am arguing with a wall. What the NSA does is a violation of 4th Amendment rights, and if you deny that you're absolutely ignorant and certainly blindly defending an illegal action.
Anyone can follow your car around and see where you go. They can't see what's in your car or what you're doing at the destinations. To do that they need a warrant. The NSA's methods of data collection are virtually the same in the context of the world-wide web. They follow traffic around and if they find something suspicious they get a warrant.

>Preordering
The difference here is that we know the game is good because it's already had 2 releases already.
>Preordering a PC port when there are an unlimited amount of copies to download

Has a strong stance against IS but wants to get rid of the Patriot Act?
There are better ways of fighting terrorists than basically criminalizing every citizen you're supposed to be protecting.

People who use Adblock are the very reason why people are doing this. I'm glad you support the channels you watch through donations, but I mean, who the fuck else does that? Adblock is still retarded, and wrong.
Or:
You can install adblock and ever have to worry about 90% of your ad problems ever again.
But you're Verbatim. Why should I think you'll ever listen to anything sensical.
AdBlock does cause huge problems for content creators. For people whose livelihoods rely on ad revenue (a lot of fucking people) having a huge chunk of that potential revenue washed away because someone doesn't want to watch a 30-second ad probably hurts. That said, many channels are now incorporating ads into the videos themselves. Like Roosterteeth's or LinusTechTips' endorsement of products at the beginning of their shows. I think we'll see a transition to that type of advertising exclusively in the coming years.

LinkyYouTube has confirmed the forthcoming launch of a monthly subscription option that will let users bypass the ads that normally run in front of videos.
Word of the new service came to light earlier today, when Bloomberg reported on an email sent to video creators that said, "By creating a new paid offering, we'll generate a new source of revenue that will supplement your fast growing advertising service." Google later confirmed that the report was legitimate, and that revenues would be shared.
"While we can't comment on ongoing discussions, giving fans more choice to enjoy the content they love and creators more opportunity to earn revenue are always amongst our top priorities," it said in a statement.
The subscription fee hasn't been set and there's no word on when the new service option will be rolled out. The notification of the coming change was sent out to content creators in order to give them sufficient time to review and agree to changes in their terms of agreement. Personally I support the channels I enjoy via direct donations. With that and the fact that you can just use AdBlock or uBlock to get rid of ads, will anyone here be using this?

They see catering as a form of endorsement (i.e. "Wedding of ____ and ____ catered by ____."). They don't want their name associated with a gay wedding in what I gather is an extremely conservative town.
As for the donations: What do you expect when you invoke the wrath of Glenn Beck?

Either sit the fuck down and accept that you already spent 1,100 dollars to add to a pile of guns that will otherwise never be used for their intended purpose as a tool except for only 1 of them at a time, or if he's so flustered about it then make a compromise and sell some excess.
Simple.
Only drink water because any other variety is unneeded excess. You can only drink one thing at a time. Only buy one movie because others are excess. You can only watch one movie at a time. Only buy one song because the rest is excess. You can only listen to one song at a time. Do you realize how fucking ignorant you sound? I get that you're a minimalist but Jesus Christ, dude. Edit: Also, it sounds to me that you suck with personal finances.
