It's kind of a rotten way to do business, but at the same time it's a totally legitimate way to do it. Capitalism is all about this sort of stuff. *shrug* Capitalism is all about competition, not crushing it. Monopolies can't exist for long in capitalism, as you can see: What analysts really want t...

Should it be the logo, or could it be a duckie?

After reading this question , how many of you are going to dream about werewolves tonight ? I plan to. :D Getting back on topic, I had a dream a couple of nights ago in which I was throwing a party, and apparently the theme of the party was that I would strip naked and slowly shift into a werewolf ...

Oooo, new 20th Century Fox logo.

...That was probably the most useless post ever.

Incredible.

And here I thought that this was the "Avatar" movie based on the Nickelodeon TV series.

Sorry that I haven't been on for the past few weeks. We just moved into a new house, and it's taken some work but I think we're finally settling down.
It's going to take forever to catch up with the Pack.

I don't know if we have to. I'm kinda lichen it.

"Thick as a Brick" by Jethro Tull.

Wolf.

Get it? "Aware wolf?"

"So, do you like that song by Warren Zevon?"

"Sweaty yet? Oh, wait..."

"Watch out for those candles!"

"Oh my God! You have got to tell me how to become a werewolf!"

"Do you do it 'doggie-style?' Ha ha ha!"

Jingles' @ sign is quite catchy. :D @Berserker: Indeed. Great thoughts, I'll keep them in mind whenever a conversation drifts into individualism. @Silent Hunter: Yes, I think I did get something out of it: I've met my match. @vrikasatma: I see. I won't infer it as a surrender; I'm a bit tired of it ...

Truth

@Berserker: I agree that we should stop putting humankind and individuals above all else (after all, that's what we do with celebrities), but I'm not so willing to completely renounce my individuality. I'll admit I'm interested, but what does happen to the individual? @Silent Hunter: As much as I li...

@Gev The funny thing is that if you do not thing healthcare is a right. Why should police protection or a fire service be? I mean they are both a service, not a right. You could apply those two arguments to those other two services, even going as far to say the free market could do a better job. Th...

Great.

I mention this because this is why I think the Libertarians won't be the new Conservatives either. It was very much a libertarian economic policy that got us in this mess, and it's only because government intervention is seen as socialism (a dirty word) that so many people are opposed to it. The ho...

I'm fairly certain that the conservatives are never going to concede their economic policy. They'll probably become even more steadfast capitalists (which is fine, but they'll get a lot of corporate lobbyists, which is never a good combination with politics). However, I agree, the conservatives need...

Happy 233rd Birthday, USA.

Incidentally, I posted this at 12:33 AM on July 4th, 2009. Weird.

I honestly think this is the end of the Republican party as we know it. . . But not the end of conservatism, of course. The U.S. has always had a two-party system, but not always the same two parties. Just like the Federalists and the Whigs before them, the Republicans have betrayed their ideals an...

Nice ramble. Welcome to the Pack!
