Mostly, the people who get displaced from mom and pop outfits are...mom and pop. As Jae pointed out, they probably aren't giving their employees any better a deal than a big company can anyway. There's no doubt, though, that the rich among us are arg...  [Read More]

Of course the question is, how will we know for certain. Given that we might be so technologically advanced where what we could do will appear magic to our ancestors, or that we'll have maybe discovered sentient life eslewhere in the universe, it's q...  [Read More]

I'd agree that merging the two would be counterproductive. The styles of editorial management are very different between the two forums. The Senate is more of a free-for-all with people often stepping all over one another, and pretty nastily too. KC...  [Read More]

If you ask me Heightism does exist. I'm only 1.65cm (not sure what I am in inches but I guess It's something like 5'5?), 18 and male. Which is pretty short. . And I thought the "inch high" private eye(2.5cm) was short. :D Seriously, though...  [Read More]

It also shows, Prime, that OBL has a poor understanding of how "democracies" work. As to the whole bit from the second commentator, sounds like baseless speculation. More importantly, though, it does seem to reflect that OBL/UBL adheres to...  [Read More]

Technically, the whole Vietnam/Iraq strain in this thread is a sidebar. Hence the subject matter is NOT as tightly focused as Achilles would wish. However, I tend to agree with some of his conclusions. Specifically, that given sufficient time and oth...  [Read More]

Problem with slanting the news in either direction is that the formerly so-called "hard news" has now really become editorial in nature. Afterall, what is an op-ed piece but the assembling of facts and information to buttress a particular p...  [Read More]

There's a certain element of the half full/half empty argument. One can always report the "facts" in such a way as to slant the news. You could take the example of WW2, as has been done, and apply it there (remembering that NO comparison is...  [Read More]

To know whether it would be ethical or not, you'd have to know whether you'd actually be part of that timeline or just some chimera that could only observe things as they actually happened. If the first, it may be possible, assuming that the whole co...  [Read More]

Who cares whether they "deserve" it or not. As long as people are willing to spend their money to see movies and sporting events, and buy sports and movie memorabilia the athletes, stars, celebs, etc. WILL be paid that much. AS long as the...  [Read More]
