I literally just wrote that the misery of the employees far outweighed the gains by people who weren't employees. There aren't that many employees, relatively, which is why everyone else loves Walmart and shops there all the time, not caring about the cost to the taxpayer. Why don't you focus...

75% of US troops are stationed in the US. 25% are stationed outside.

I'm horny, so give me both. Lots of both.

Have you figured out how hedging activity in the physical market accounts for the supposed discrepancy in the silver trading numbers yet?

You got it. Gay men hit on straight men because they score. The number of guys willing to do gay stuff would probably startle a lot of guys who are totally straight and repulsed by the idea. Don't blame the gay guy for hitting on you, blame your straight friends for making them think they can...

I haven't. They're all over the map. One problem is that the physically masculine gay guys are way more likely to be closeted or especially discreet about their sexuality. A lot of them don't get clocked by straight people. I'm a physically masculine guy and am assumed straight all the time...

You think you look too straight or something to be presumed gay (or at least interested) when you're standing in a gay bar?

Walmart is still certainly a net positive for consumers, though, which is why they shopped there so much and transformed it into such a behemoth. The company's impact on market prices probably translates into hundreds of billions of dollars a year in savings throughout the economy, which makes...

How can you possibly say "No shit"? You just said corporations weren't smart in not cleaning up after themselves in the first place, which is the opposite of what I said. Nor am I actually asking what's cheaper, it was rhetorical. I stated my position to Abandonconflict immediately, which is...

Yeah, that was the point. Good catch there.

It's typically not cheaper to comply in the first place if there is some probability of not getting caught. That's how decisions actually get made. If the cleanup cost is $500 million and the cost otherwise will be $2 billion, I'm not interested in cleaning up unless there's more than a 25%...

You think we're better at colors? "Not white" isn't exactly a color... Keep in mind that 90% of the American population is obese retarded white people dependent on scooters to get around. They can't find their own genitals.

In 2006, 90% of Americans 18-24 couldn't find Afghanistan on a map of Asia; 70% couldn't find Iran or Israel; 54% had no idea Sudan was an African country; and 75% couldn't locate Indonesia. You're obviously expecting too much if you think the average yank can distinguish.

Any kind of regulatory system--a federal government agency with regulatory power (like the EPA) or a state commission with such power (like an insurance board). His premise is that they're self-created, so it doesn't matter what it is. You're making my case about why the regulatory systems...

I take that moment every time I view this thread now...

Except it's not actually free will. It's coerced by a force I have little control over. I can resolutely declare to you my intention to not eat for two weeks and that may be a firm product of my free will. But we both already know it doesn't work like that. Maybe I'll make it for a day: I can...

Again, you're talking about enslavement, which I have never suggested, and I am talking survival instincts. Do you not understand the difference? The government is not enslaving me, my brain is "enslaving" me. Note that I put "enslaving" in quotes at the end there. By doing that, I mean that I...

If you require your citizens to pay taxes and you have a tax-funded social welfare system, you are a government forcing citizens to help the poor. Jesus wanted this to be voluntary. He wanted individuals to voluntarily sell their possessions and give the money to poor.

I never claimed I could show you anyone "who is literally forced" to work. Your language suggests people being forcefully enslaved and made to produce. I am talking about coercion that is more subtle than that, driven by survival instincts present in all human beings. And human beings...

If the original poster is an individual, his decision was probably irrational. If he has a family, however, his decision could have been sensible, because insurance gets substantially more expensive whether it's employer-provided or otherwise. Keep in mind that ACA prices vary. The same health...
