Re: Public/Private Space and Individual Rights
My company is really expanding in India - 8000 employees!
We had a meeting last week with one of the VPs to discuss all the "exciting developments" happening in India and how our jobs are going to be changing. Naturally, the discussion was all very vague, no questions were really answered, yet we were all supposed to be upbeat about the prospect of losing our jobs to someone in India.

Re: Public/Private Space and Individual Rights
Of course it wouldn't. I was being facetious. Why on earth would I advocate for Apartheid-like policies?

I don't find him funny... so it's hard not to take him seriously.
I also don't understand Larry's post. I don't write stuff to "stir the pot", I write it because I have reasons for saying what I say that relate to what I say, not ulterior motives...

Re: Public/Private Space and Individual Rights
The former involves making a serious point relevant to the discussion. The latter involves trying to provoke people for reasons that have nothing to do with the discussion.

That's what happens, in a partially globalized (or 'globalizing') world. It's not Michigan v Missouri - it's everyone v everyone else in the world (not totally, but y'know what I'm getting at.

it's hard for you to differentiate between things you don't find funny and things that are serious?
that's odd.

he is one of the funniest people here but we both sort of have the mentality of a 12 year old so i guess we connect that way.
Re: Public/Private Space and Individual Rights
I find a lot of things funny (maybe even most things). I also find a lot of things I take seriously funny. But because I don't find you funny, I find it hard not to take you seriously.

Right now, a big part of the population is fighting for a more equal distribution of that wealth. I think Chile is the country with the biggest inequality in the world, and with the most expensive education system. That's one big fuckedupness.

Sebastian Pinera tells students "nothing is free" as labour unions join protesters demanding educational reforms.

Of course nothing is free, but taxes should pay for education.

That all makes a whole lot of no sense.
Neocons may be big spenders, but they certainly don't claim to be. And most of their spending is on the military industrial complex. Libertarians are the only ones that understand "nothing is free." That's practically the mantra of the movement.
