Set 'em up, knock 'em down. Sigh. Zeviz is right, of course. Nioca shouldn't talk much of what is said by me in seriousness. Everyone else? You better believe I'm serious. :P

Now why did you have to go and mention that?

Without quantity there is no way to determine quality. When one speaks of the quality of posts, and fondly remembers the days of yore, one is forced to also remember that vast quantity of posts from which to cull your quality.

I'm sure there is a mathematical formula in there somewhere, but I've been taken off numbers for the time being. It's that sharp jolt in the neck....

:P

Any ideas on how much the inventor of the wheel made, in terms of the currency of the day?

Likely nothing. That discovery is among the foundations for all life today, yet the applications today seem to generate money. It's almost as if people are willing to be surprised that a wheel is still a remarkable thing. I would consider the wheel to be a remarkable baseline invention. It was inspiration. But worthless to the inventor.

Why? Foundation science is inspired but untried, untested, and unknown. We have no clue if they are money-making or money-losing propositions, yet they are vitally important to continued economic development. Without Bell Labs in New Jersey we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Yet the scientists there got less pay than a middle manager at Google today. Yet they did it anyways, because the wealth they sought was the knowledge that they were changing the world.

Remember, money is only good for buying things, and you only can buy things if you find a willing seller. ;)

I'm pretty sure Ulle said he was currently in college, and his telemarketing job was something to pass the time between classes. But I find his posts boring, so I'll not go back and research that. His personal experiences in life seem to have played a rather prominent role in defining his ethos, which becomes more and more understandable as he reveals those details.

After all, his (obviously) strong father was able to move from poverty to riches. Should he (Egola) be nervous that within his own definitions there is a good chance that he will end back in that very same poverty? If it is indeed nature, rather than nurture, that establishes pecking order, it would definitely scare me to be in his shoes.

Concern appreciated, although I'm not sure anyone could do a decent impersonation. It's rare when coherence accompanies insanity. :rolleyes:

I left once. It was sad. Ash got banned soon thereafter and I had to compensate by going on a spree. Now with another icon gone, I am feeling the need to start another spree. That makes me sad, I wish we had our icons back. Which reminds me, Nioca is A Icon. Pity he doesn't use good grammar.

Your generousity doesn't stop there, Mr Nioca. You have contributed 1/11th of the total posts so far this month. One whole day's worth. I wouldn't yet consider the board doomed to fall below your estimate, what with the sudden infux of new topics that will have happened on the 3rd.

XxX, it sounds like an interesting concept. It reminded me to go play some of Geneforge, some of Avernum, and some BoA. Thanks!

I kinda liked Donkey Kong Country, but it wasn't on the list. Were you just listing the protagonists and failing to understand that the antagonists need play time as well? What gives?

Also, Gold Box, PoR was mindblowing. I still have some old sheets of graph paper that mapped out various levels. Good times. Slack? Care to recreate those good times?

Sorry Alo, but Lego already explained his ignorance. He had some pretty crappy teachers in school. He obviously was failed by the education system in which he was ensconced, despite the success of his father. In some ways I pity him. Even with money, and his father's connections, his education was limited and deeply flawed. This, combined with bigotry, does indeed make Jack a dull boy.

How would the proposed deregulation affect all those many companies which currently exist only because of regulations? Like auto insurance. I forsee the instance of the financially poor deciding against insurance, and the wealthy not needing it. The middle class is left holding the bag. Stratification results in the middle class becoming the lower class, the lower upper class becomes the middle class, and eventually all material wealth is in the hands of a guy named Dave, from Toledo, who cleans toilets. Lucky bastard.

I hate repeating myself.

I assume that is from the Libertarian Handbook. I would then ask a question of you. How should an unregulated Exxon dealt with the Valdez affair? How should Union Carbide have dealt with the Bhopal affair? How should Sweatshops Inc. dealt with fire-related deaths in their New York City division.

I appreciate the hypothetical as much as the next guy, but I fail to see any connection in reality with any (any) of the main points being advanced by the Libertarians. Sure, they may look possible on paper, and sincere arguments can be made, but in real life they fall flat on their figurative faces and die.

I await your reply with anticipation. :D

Nice opinion, but it isn't a cold, hard truth. Some people can have it, but don't want it. Some people are satisfied with what they have and don't see the need to increase their consumption of our swindling natural resources.

You lose. If you can't provide a definition, then there is nothing to which we can agree.
quote:
And that the former is more likely to succeed in capitalism than the latter?
No definition, no agreement. Your undefined strong and your undefined succeed may make a merry couple, but I can not recognize them as such. Try again.

Actually, the CoC was written by several people, who may or may not have been Jewish. I fail to see the connection, am insulted by your contribution to this thread, and will hopefully be able to one day stop wondering how ideas such as yours continue in society today.

We, as a society, stopped shouting "[b]FIRE!!![/b]" where there was none quite a while ago, isn't it time you stopped as well?
