| Supply side has no interest in equality as an outcome, only economic growth. It would be better to look at GDP per capita vs tax rate. Better yet cut out all the lucky countries living off geological good fortune. Even better ignore GDP completely and compare the tax burden to the final price of a s... |

| I did read what you posted, very carefully and several times but still couldn't even begin to wrest some form of coherence out of it. I apologise for taking the piss I should know better on aspie forum to mock people for communication problems especially as I'm a hundred times more literate and coh... |

| Since Islam and Christianity are the same cult according to certain people around here, what do these people have to say about the fact that the penalty for renouncing Islam in the Middle East is the death penalty? Christians keep invoking names like Stalin, Pol Pot, but they say nothing about the ... |

| Do the kibbutz count or does it fall foul of 'communal property' as a concept even though some went to the extreme of not even owning clothing. |

| There is a bit of a going idea that laws spring from ideas about property. Gintis, Boyd that whole gaggle of folks. It is a very clean and elegant idea and testable. Do the Hadza, !Kung, Inuit, etc the so called egalitarian hunter-gatherers have laws? Laws of course need a definition. I like Rules ... |

I think that insulting their religion was simply the final straw in a long line of US abuse. The insult to their religion by the way for anyone curious comes from ... |

| Some here make squatters out to be down on their luck victims. Whereas of course they are free loading, verminous, parasites. About time the law was changed. Next they need to change the law on thieving "gypsy" travellers in the UK. I think this is really sad. According to Shelter someone becomes h... |

| In Pakistan Muslims are the biggest threats to Christians. A Christian half-wit girl was put in peril of her life because she was accused of tossing written verses from the Q'ran into the trash. It turned out she was probably framed by a Muslim. The fact that even a trivial act of tossing a piece o... |

| Or Irish priests raping 12 yo choir boys? This didn't just happen in Ireland, although the sex abuse scandals were most talked about there but in many other countries too. Case in point, look at Holland. In the 1950's if a child dared talk about the fact a catholic priest was raping them, the child... |

| Please note that when Jews were mistreated as they often were, they did not riot or resort to suicide bombings. That really is the difference. You never hear a peep from Jews in this country, yet all the time we hear about Muslims. Isn't it odd? Sorry Teq, but if you study your history you will fin... |

| I think eliminating or lowering the minimum wage is a terrible idea, but I think it would also reduce unemployment. Mexico has a very low minimum wage (or maybe no minimum wage, I don't remember). There is very, very little unemployment in Mexico . But Mexico does not have a very high quality of li... |
