What's this about writing techniques? That's an actual thing? I thought writers just make shit up? Probably explains I haven't won yet.

It's decreasing though.

And an option of self-imposed compliance by companies as a result of sanctions but they're doing it in such a way that makes doing business more expen...

As if sanctions have ever done anything else but punish regular people. Same can be said for war of course.

It doesn't seem that way to me. People tend to use the terms interchangeably and he seemed to want to make a moral argument. My point was about intent...

If I raise a canvas on my land just to frustrate the view my neighbour has, I might have a legal right but I'm then abusing that right. Intent matters...

Made itself vulnerable? Despite mankind fucking up the environment for over a century it's still there in a way that it supports our existence. It's n...

@"boethius" @"Isaac" @"Olivier5" Deleted a moderation complaint and replies to that. Moderation complaints go into feedback.

Amazing. You need to be a particular type of cunt to be into politics and it's the same type of cunt in every country.

the distinction is false, biodiversity collapse will affect everyone and everything.

Can we stop accusing people we disagree with with being Nazi's or Nazi symphatisers? Thanks.

I'm not sure such qualifications are warranted. He's a moron or irrational but he worked his way up to being leader of a country? I highly doubt it. W...

Wrong. You chose to laugh.

There's also no abuse at all if I tell my kids they're ugly little motherfuckers that will never amount to anything because it's their choice to actua...

I don't have the information to agree with it because it really depends on what it costs us, or more specifically, what it costs Ukrainians, to "incre...

It's not about any claim to land, obviously. The problems in South Africa had nothing to do with claims to land but a set of rules for one group of pe...

That clarity isn't lacking at all. It has only been obfuscated because of political reasons. The only reason the GAR 3379 was revoked was to get Israe...

Said nobody ever during Apartheid.

You're asking the wrong guy since I'm not a US citizen and think widespread gun ownership is idiotic. I think only hunters and cops should own guns. E...

Here's some interesting statistics: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/09/13/key-facts-about-americans-and-guns/ Only about 53% thinks the rul...

Because if you had proof of your position I would be convinced. As simple as that.

If only you were capable of proving it but you haven't. All you have is disdain for someone who disagrees with you and confuse your feelings on the ma...

The whole point is that neither you nor I have the information necessary to tell the difference. So your childish misrepresentation of people's differ...

That's definitely a different tune and damning if true. We're left with no ability to tell what is true and I'm wondering what we've been doing for 25...

I'm afraid it's not clear to me then what you're proposing. Could you expound on it? Thanks.

You're forgetting stalemates. I agree with all those nuances and I think it's still good to remember we really don't know all that much so shouldn't g...

I don't want to bicker either. It was just what I hoped to be a helpful clarification. I'm not sure this is particular to current markets. All market ...

Surprisingly that's false. Check out this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=42QuXLucH3Q&t=228s

This is inaccurate on so many levels I can only advise you to read an actual history of Europe during medieval times and the renaissance.

you mean this? Where the French were the colonial oppressor and he defines the French as terrorists and believes it was just the Algerians kicked them...

This suggests shares trading affects investment but that's not how it works. Share trading doesn't result in investment, that already happened when th...

No. How often have you accused others of "lying" in this thread? Why are you lying now and get aggressive when it gets called out?

So you can't prove he is what you say he is, you just like to make baseless accusations about people because they happen to disagree with you? Is that...

Quote him. I've read every post in this thread. He's militantly anti-imperialist so support for mass murderers isn't in there.

Which he doesn't so it's weird that's your take away.

It won't be profit over everything sure. For those part of that specific corporation. But they will continue to externalise costs where they can and t...

This distinction is meaningless and pretends economic activity consist of an atomic structure instead of a web that influences and affects everything ...

Which is unfortunate, since he's often a very knowledgeable contributor. I'd invite you to look at his post history, particularly things older than 2 ...

Seems to me that the bad faith emanates from those who have to pigeonhole others as "trolls" as an excuse not to engage arguments. I've had perfectly ...

Sigh. It's not trivial because it's definitional and goes to the core of why Nozick's theory lacks any internal coherence. What's the likelihood of an...

As I said. It ain't going to happen.

Without the possibility to prove it, it is arbitrary and therefor a procedural proposal and procedure has little, if anything, to do with justice, whi...

Your think this based on what?

Check the facts

That's not going to happen. First of all, a country has to be functional democracy, which Ukraine isn't and won't be for a very long time.

Sweden shouldn't be a problem with their excellent weapons manufacturing. Not sure what the Fins bring. :razz: Edit: BTW, I had some older friends ove...

isn't there a fundamental problem left of the perpetual nature of corporations and limited liability. Even co-ops externalise costs and risk by limiti...

Just because you call it that and Nozick did, doesn't make it so. It's one of the main criticisms that what we have today isn't the result of just tra...

Which they aren't and weren't. So his proposal is procedural rather than historical.

These are results of the war. The question was what would a peace agreement look like. Russia and Ukraine need to settle and agree on the future or an...
