  • I don’t blame the kid. I blame overly zealous professors who put unrealistic requirements on Turn-it-in scores.

    There’s only so many ways an idea can be succinctly expressed. Any other phrasing just becomes obtuse but sometimes students have no choice because some professor when overboard with plagiarism detection.



  • It’s not but it can’t be divorced form capitalism either.

    A farmer does not produce grain out of the goodness of his heart. He’s doing it to provide for his family’s needs and wants, maybe new clothes for his kids or a new stove, etc. We work jobs to get paid so we can feed ourselves and our families and maybe buy something nice or shiny once in a while and save for retirement.

    Production of commodities and services, profit-motive, capital accumulation, If that’s not the basis of capitalism, I’m not sure what is?

    We’re angry about unbridled end-stage capitalism

    Just like with everything in life, there’s a right amount of something and its not zero. Properly regulated free market is probably the best economic system we’ve come up with. I challenge you to come up with a better system.

    Its the fact that we’ve voted in greedy leaders and have such lax rules about lobbying and open bribery that’s allowed so much shit to happen.


  • It’s a mainly with predators that we have an easier time toilet training them. Evolution has killed off those that shat in their own caves because of diseases and bringing food back to a contaminated den will in turn contaminate the food. Whereas horses and most other herbivores live out in the open, move around more and travel long distances to graze.
