  1. What do you mean by "Ghetto"?
  2. Parasitic to what? Humans? Coyotes? Or do you mean to say cows, sheep and pigs? There are parasites in cows, but beef itself doesn't have parasites as beef is not an organism.
  3. In one of the books in the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov, science essentially becomes a religion. Technology advances to such a degree that life is as perfect as possible for humans, and the machines that sustain that life are so near perfect that they cease to fail. Science stops progressing and over many thousands of years humans no longer understand how those machines work. They simply have faith in the science and technology, with no evidence or understanding of how it is possible. They just accept things as they are and believe there is a reason for everything.
  4. Tell that to the 5,000,000 non-Jews who died in the Holocaust.
  5. And let's not forget the Inquisition.

    about humour

    I used to laugh at those types of jokes all the time. Then I had my 11th birthday...
  8. Because we don't know this to be true. You are looking at insufficient data to draw that conclusion, and doing so on CNN would be reckless and irresponsible.
  9. Because Ireland's tax regulation is beneficial to Google.
  10. Not if by "they" we mean Google.
  11. Still unclear how that supports your assertion that we have "unregulated capitalism". "... unregulated capitalism means he took it from others and refused to give some of it back..."
  12. A truly horrid tasting cracker and an inside running joke that has been going on for years.
  13. Spare me the avoidance of defending your assertion. How did we get from some guy having a successful company to "...yes we do print money, unregulated capitalism means he took it from others and refused to give some of it back to those who did the printing"? That's quite a leap from an unnamed successful company to unregulated capitalism and refusing to pay taxes.
  14. So we are going from "unregulated" to "more unregulated"? Are some animals more equal than others?
  15. I didn't realize we had unregulated capitalism.
  16. No, not really. Police can only arrest someone if they have probable cause to believe that someone has broken a law. It is up to the courts to determine if a law was broken, not the police. But like police in the UK or Canada, police in America sometimes make unlawful arrests.
  17. I had to go look and see what all the fuss was about. You are stressed because of some comments posted eight years ago?
  18. If you feel you are not close to what "people in general" are like, then I agree, you would be a bad example.
  19. Then I rescind everything I said.
  20. When did we start talking about dying people? There are people who are homeless for example who I would consider to be in NEED.
  21. Yes
  22. I find them nearly every day. If I stopped and helped every one I'd never make it to the pub.
  23. Do you find that the majority of your behaviors in a given day are done primarily to benefit yourself or someone else? It may be that we are just looking at the terms "selfish" and "good" and "bad" differently. Perhaps to discuss this in a meaningful way we'd have to start with definitions. For instance I don't think it is a stretch to think that the average person out shopping could find someone else more in need than himself of whatever it is he is buying. You may not find that to be the definition of selfish behavior.
