Profiteering coincides with lack of concern for future consequences. It isn't sustainable. There'd be oligopolies before the world ended, but it would end.Flecco wrote:
Actually I'd argue capitalism wouldn't do that. As that would mean an end to the profiteering.kylef wrote:

What capitalism would do is end up with an oligarchy controlling the entire market with monopolies.

So that's why it was busy up at Elmwood tonight. I was just there and the place was filled.
I was right at that spot in Dubrovnik less than a month ago - it's a nice place, and I can see the appeal for living there. The city is almost built on two levels, and the amount of steps .. made for some great photos. Nice place.TSI wrote:
Well, I live in both Ottawa and Paris (depends when) and prefer Paris by a long shot. Canada gets boring after 3 months. Especially in February.

Yes..and I also take note of the race results. Who cares in KERS makes you go a little faster on the straights, if it slows you down elsewhere and means you aren't winning the race? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.DrunkFace wrote:

KERS has proved to be great at making up 3-4 places on the grid and making it virtually impossible for someone to pass you even when you are lapping well over a second slower.

On the surface, this sounds like "too good to be true"...but think about what this could do to the car as it relates to balance and sheer drivability.
What would you do? You've already a car that runs Very well, do you keep it as is? Or do you run KERS, which could adversely affect the handling on the car, and or reliability?
Tough choice imo, but I'm sure Mr. Brawn will figure it out.

I would have interpreted that episode to mean that "Locke 2.0" is that guy at the start of the episode who was with Jacob.

I'm quite looking forward to sitting my AS level exams. I like the pressure. I've done quite a bit of work for them and will continue to do so, so I hope the grades reflect it. In other news:
- having discovered (ambient) electronica, my music library is undergoing its biggest conversion
- have a few friends who I know that I'll probably know / keep in touch with for the rest of my life

We need to celebrate this with some beer in botanic gardens. It's such a nice day today! Makes me happy.
At least 1/4 of my library is movie soundtracks. Love them.
You need watch Band of Brothers (World War 2) and Generation Kill (Iraq). Both are series, and have won multiple awards to recollection.
This race won me 40p, so I approve of it.
You can't. You are restricted for 2 years.Janis_Petke wrote:
I tell you, 125 will be too small in less than a month. So just wait when you are able to buy a bigger bike and you wont waste your money.
The thing that you need to remember about an RS125 is that it is still only a 125cc - over 70mph you are going to be struggling. I was planning on getting the same bike but instead decided that I'll be getting a Kawasaki Ninja 250R. I don't know about England, but in N. Ireland it is restricted up to 250cc (33bhp) but you don't take the CBT.
My friend has an RS125, and it is a pretty nice bike. It's only 2stroke so every time you fill up you need to oil up too, but it does get around 40mpg. Very nimble and light but this has its downsides when it comes to the great English weather that is rain. If I were you I'd take a course in basic repair as well. There are known reliability issues with them, it is a race bike after all!

You're misinterpreting what I am saying - that private companies who have this framework set by the Government can use avoidance schemes and loopholes to bypass the framework that was imposed on them.

How on earth do you connect businesses avoiding taxes to being in the best interests of the country?
In any case, the point is nonsense since the NHS doesn't pay any tax. It's not a profit making organisation.

Generic Apple earphones are rubbish - poor quality all round with the exception of build quality. Get a pair on in-ear earphones and you won't go back. You can probably pick up a pair on Sennheiser CX300s for $20 ish if you look in the right places.

A "real free market solution" is complete privatization because healthcare is a merit good. Private health companies buy their drugs from pharmaceutical companies and then sell them on. The only thing that would prevent monopolization is competition.Diesel_dyk wrote:
Real Free Market Solutions
A free market solution would be to break the hold that doctors monopoly that they have on health care by making some prescription drugs available without a prescription and all others available with a consult with a pharmacist. Surgeries could be preformed by skilled people not necessarily doctors, I believe that the army did this during WW II where people who were non doctors were trained to do just appendix operations.
Whether or not there are other Gods, my previous statement still stands: the passage confirms that there are no Gods after God. It's entirely plausible that there are other, lesser Gods in this world. "Written by God" is definitely the wrong phrase. It was written by people who felt the Holy spirit - hence the book names. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John to name a few of the 'popular' ones.imortal wrote:
Wouldn't a strict anylasis of that passage conclude that God was simply the 'head god.' and not the ONLY god? I think you assume that "king of kings" has to be referring to mortal kings? What if those lesser kings were simply other gods, and not referring to mortals at all?
I really cringe when people describe the bible as being 'written by God.' None of the New Testament can even be placed closer to the time of the life of Jesus than 40 years after his death, including the Acts of the Apostles, which can not even be shown to have been written by the apostles they were named for.
Agreed. It's believed that large chunks of the Bible were remembered by people before they were written down, and so this is definitely going to lead to a slight change in message when you go down the ladder to today. A good example is the commandment: thou shalt not murder. Many interpret 'murder' as 'kill', when there is arguably a difference.Uzique wrote:
The Bible has been passed down, rewritten, censored and authoritised many, many times throughout history- to suit various agendas and institutions. Would you argue that the Henry VIII version of The Bible (possibly the first ever translation into English) is close to the true veracity of the Christian faith? Because it wasn't only interpretation that had changed there...

An economy without money is reverting itself hundreds of years. Money itself is worthless: the Government can create each £10 note for pennies in "real value". It is the promise, the bearer on demand written on the note that makes it worth what it is. Would you rather carry around pieces of gold and trade in that? The very premise of "money" simplifies the trading procedure. And, like it or not, that's what we do in this world.
But there can be no Gods after God. 1 Timothy 6:15 - "... King of kings and Lord of lords"Diesel_dyk wrote:
Take the ten commandments
you get
Exodus --> 20:3 Do not have any other gods before me.
Deuteronomy --> 5:7 you shall have no other gods before me
Exodus --> 34:14 (for you shall worship no other god, because the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God).
These are three examples. the first two say you shall not have any God BEFORE me. Before me does not exclude Gods after me. That would seem to indicated that you could have a hierarchy of Gods like the Greeks with Zeus. In third it says no other God... indicating only one God
