Both. Unless taxation is a secret, both parties are fully aware of the legal implications of providing a gross wage in terms of taxation and resulting...
Again, your conclusion is not in the least question. Not too daring, well informed, and now fully cited. Well done. What's in question (and remains un...
No, it would be to conduct foreign policy taking into account the whim of one's adversary... you know, like strategists actually do in the real world,...
Are you saying that taxation is a secret where you live? I literally gave you the example in the fucking quote you're replying to, if would be hard to...
Why so aggressive all the time? Why can't you just agree to disagree in a cool headed manner? Keep some sense of humour; try and understand others. Wh...
Claiming to be 'misunderstood' is a fallback of edgy artists and adolescents going through their goth phase. If you want to avoid misunderstanding, pe...
And yet apparently thinking "military repercussions" might mean an attack is The hubris is unbelievable. You come up with a load of armchair speculati...
You can make anything a moral problem by having bizarre morals, its not interesting other than to a curator of the bizarre. If I had a moral rule that...
But that's the very matter in polarised debate among the experts. You can't reasonably claim it is justification enough. It very clearly isn't. The qu...
Absolutely, yes. If anything it's worse for corporate taxes because they not only used those services, but made a profit from them. I didn't say it wa...
Clearly not. One possible risk is that its expansion decreases global security. It's not defending against that risk, is it? Wait, so now Russia is a ...
I claimed no such thing. You said your gross wage was agreed as yours by consent. That's a lie. You employer has full knowledge and expectation that y...
You don't just make it so by saying it. If that's all you've got I suggest you get yourself a soapbox, you're in the wrong place. These are two object...
Yeah, America's history in South America is a disgrace. Quite something else to have first (or second) hand experience though. Interesting to see what...
Brutal does. America is without doubt responsible for more death and immiseration than any other nation. As for dictatorship, no, but America has been...
I don't know. You're the one claiming it's so obvious. I think it's just politically expedient because Russia are the bad guys and NATO are the good g...
I'm trying to extract the reason why Finland and Sweden fear attack by Russia. So far I've been given... Russia attacked another county (no good, sinc...
Uh Oh. War in South America on the horizon... https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/venezuela-says-us-military-plane-violated-its-airspace-2021-07-23...
Right. So the question is not whether Russia has invaded other countries, it's whether Finland are in their 'crosseye'. No one has, as yet, given the ...
On the same grounds. The US invaded a foreign nation hundreds of miles away in Iraq, so they can do it to others. So do you need security against Amer...
So you are making the argument that those women were accidentally raped in Columbia? I didn't think your bootlicking would really descend that disgust...
And? There's no argument in there linking to justice. Why is it just that you should keep all of the wealth you have the potential to acquire? Notwith...
It might be important for your evangelical condemnation, but I doubt the families of the 22,000 dead are much consoled by some apologist's theorising ...
So Finland is joining NATO because something which no-one is even sure happened might happen to them and somehow NATO can stop it? I don't think it's ...
Yes, and I was pointing out that being a bad neighbour to Ukraine is not sufficient ground for such action. Invading Ukraine does not alone mean they'...
No, stealing is taking something which doesn't rightfully belong to you, you've yet to establish that the taxed part of your wage doesn't rightfully b...
Again, you seem to be simply assuming some kind of threshold. Why is the number of children starving to death acceptable, but the number of children b...
Which comes back to @"boethius"'s point about Nazis. You act as if there's some threshold of war crimes below which we stop caring about them, stop se...
It's astonishing the ease with which the thinnest coat of whitewash absolves all crimes for some. A paper thin veneer of 'democracy' cack-handely drap...
Yes. They've got different flags too. Unfortunately for your top notch erudition on that, we're talking about the extent to which they kill civilians ...
Look at what the Americans did in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan... 22,000 civilian casualties - who in their right mind would want the same thing for their...
Finally caught up with the conversation from 10 posts ago... well done. So the question asked was, given how badly you think Russia are doing in Ukrai...
No shit. Any more primary school level insights into human behaviour you'd like to share with us, or would you like to join in the actual discussion a...
I can't think of a single good reason why the UK, or anyone else is in NATO. The entire monstrosity should be abolished as many strategists have sugge...
Yep, there's no end to Russia's superpowers... ... except apparently in Ukraine, where they're useless as shit because Ukraine is their kryptonite and...
It's not a rabbit hole. Your arguments are just shit. The question was why Finland wants to join NATO and you can't provide a reasoned answer, so you ...
So your argument is either pointless whinging or lacks foundation. The issue is what is just, not why people fear laissez faire. People fear laissez f...
Didn't answer the question at all. Russia doesn't want Finland and Sweden to join NATO, so they make threats of military action if they try to. The qu...
The idea behind @"frank" and @"NOS4A2"'s approach is similar. Completely unreasonable propositions are set within rhetoric mimicking academic inquiry,...
I can see your point, but we can, in theory, 'vote with our dollar' on corporations too. If we all refused to buy from Amazon, they'd be gone in a day...
I see. Well then you are wrong (insofar as I am such person who fears laissez-faire). I fear what other people would do. People like you, who seem to ...
Poor capitalists, being forced by circumstances to raise prices... For an alternative view for anyone wanting to keep their tounges free of boot polis...
