Having said that, both Russia and China have systems of government where the rulers are above the Constitution (or part of it lol) - which I don't thi...
Yeah, no doubt he will try that, but China's system will not work in many other countries, which lack China's history and people. China has, pretty mu...
If you really believe that, then you've fallen prey to some weird conspiracy stuff :lol: Well I believed Trump would win, as @"Baden" can testify (I s...
@"Maw" - I meant to ask you this - are you one of those leftists who never gave Trump a chance to win? :lol: And then were like :OOOOOOOO when you saw...
:rofl: LOL! You have an imaginative mind, I must say :lol: But we need to be a little bit more pragmatic than that. You cannot change the system of go...
:rofl: Privacy stuff is more relevant not for business (in business it doesn't really matter that much what your personal beliefs are), but - if, say ...
Yeah yeah yeah, I'm not a successful entrepreneur, fine, I don't care what you think :P - not gonna change the facts. I talk about business here becau...
I don't so much mind that he is pressing me about it, he can press me all he wants. It's actually an interesting discussion. LOL - how do you know who...
They are not inconsistent. I have seen no entrepreneur ever advertise their business randomly on the internet on forums that have nothing to do with i...
lol, obviously it doesn't cost me anything, but there's likely no gain from it. You don't do things just cause they're free. It's just wasted effort -...
Exactly, so you're asking to find out about my business model. How I make it work. I can't tell you that, sorry. Well, there are several reasons: 1. P...
@"Michael" - did you reply to me in the morality & homosexuality thread? Cause I didn't get a warning and the thread suddenly exploded with comments.....
But sure, if you want me to play that silly game, I can come up with lots of rationalisations why it happened. The declining influence of religion pla...
The present was once the future no? If we didn't know how it came about as it was happening, what makes you think we'd have anything more but the illu...
I think to a certain extent (but not completely) it is random. It's not something that can be explained by a deterministic theory. A series of ideolog...
Sure, but the reason I asked you why was because I've publicly said what my business was several times on the forum. Just like you've said that you're...
To answer how is actually quite simple. Basically it's because political correctness etc. are the prevailing cultural zeitgeist and values of society ...
Okay I see. But from what I understand this would only work if it moved the business from a higher tax bracket to a lower one, in such a fashion that ...
That's why I make use of accountants :wink: . And actually, right now I'm running all my businesses through LLCs for some similar reasons. Though to b...
If it was me negotiating, I'd ask the owner to negotiate with the mods and get them to sign the agreement (I don't care if he offers them part of the ...
I may have changed email for fear of it being sold when Paul transferred ownership :rofl: - if I did that, it might just be a random email that I don'...
China as it is now does have some problems - I think at some point in the future China will reorganise as a monarchy. The goal of getting China to con...
I think the slow collapse of democracies is a good thing. Democracies have proven, not only this time, but also in Ancient times, to be nothing but th...
No, the immediate cause of the act may be your body, but your body is not you. I identify you with the will and the intellect. If your body remains, b...
I don't see how my reply was disrespectful. If I said that to any of my friends, they wouldn't be pissed off. I insult my (male) friends for fun, not ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h97TFHiql2k Take this anti-Trumpers. May be the first President in 30+ years to have adequately dealt with North Korea...
It's not about insulting me, but literarily almost every post of his I read is an insult towards someone he disagrees with. Whether that's Peterson, m...
