US Witch hunt?
-
I am not blaming that scandal on big business. I merely commented on the original "think of the people they represent" that maybe taking legal bribes from companies <>is in their interest, because it seems the only way to win an election in the US. "On big business is bad" - where did I write "business is corrupting us"? If you want to quote me, quote me correctly. Here you go: Large Companies undermine political power in all scales. Which wouldn't be bad as such, but with the "everything within the law goes as long as they don't make profits" crowd I would not want them to acquire the power to make the laws. lawful: I am not defending Benon Sevan. If he took bribes, kick him out and never let him take a public office again. (but don't kick out the U.N. for $150.000 bribes. That's what Haliburton seems to make in Iraq in less than an hour. legally. see above) I know that yu are a fierce opposer of bills reducing financial freedom. Would you, once such a thing goes into law, feel bound by it "because it's the law"?

boost your code || Fold With Us! || sighist | doxygenI suppose my post was more in response to Giles' critique of 'corporate America' than to you per se. No, I do not believe that corporations should be above the law. But I do believe we should be more circumspect of those entities empowered to make the law. It is they who should be held accountable when the law fails. Passing the blame to some corporation and expecting even more draconian laws to solve the original problem will just raise the anti and solve no problems at all. The problem is clearly big government and not big business (or big religion or whatever). We should be far more sensitive to abuses of power by our political representatives than we are of such abuse by other, non-political, entities. If Haliburton is making unjustified proftis, than we should view that as a problem not with Haliburton, but with the various states (including the Bush administration) that are allowing it to occur. We should demand that any laws made to control such abuse apply towards state representatives (the UN or otherwise) and not towards increasing those same representative's power to control business. "Capitalism is the source of all true freedom."

I say your contribution to the codeproject - zero articles, zero technical posts, zero contribution, speaks for itself...
Wow, you attack consertives, I make joke about liberals, you attack me (you know the bliss thing), I throw it back at you, and you start searching my name? A little thinned skinned don't you think? Look, if you want to dish it out you better be able to take it and stop your crying.

Just listen to a rep talking about taxes.

Not thin skinned. Just curious if you have anything useful to contribute in addition to the same repetitive drivel. And obviously you don't.

so your drivel is ok, get a backbone and move on. Oh and by the way, I checked almost everyone else here, no articles. Are you going to complain about them. Grow up crybaby.

Why don't you contribute anything to the coder community? That is after all the purpose for which this forum exists.

Well I usally use ASP.NET site when posting responses. I think the real point is you didnt like what I said so you went on your own little hunt to find something wrong, and here we are totally away from the issue. Do you do your litte gastapo investigations on the left leaning posters. Again, grow up.

They believe that you earn your money, you should keep it, not let the goverment waste it. peterchen wrote: about liberals Well, yes. And dogs complain about cats, and so on.... peterchen wrote: about prices. I'm not sure about this one. I guess everyone complains about prices if they think they are unfair. When I said I not sure where you were coming from I did not mean where your are coming from as in location. It a way of saying "I not sure what you are trying to say", or "I'm not sure of your point" I shoould have been a little more clear, sorry.
