    Most of the equipment used by mining companies is manufactured and maintained by other private companies. These private companies have an interest in the mining sector but do not run it. Defense would be no different. The purpose of the police, along with the justice system is to uphold the...

    can chicks rock out?

    90% of rocking out is abusing groupies. Females cannot do this due to deeply ingrained double standards in society. Therefore, chicks cannot rock out.

    Privatising the Army

    Surely, at least in a democracy, the government is meant to reflect the interests of the nation, ie. the people. Therefore the middle-man, ie. the government is unnecessary. Layers of beaurocracy and inefficiency could be removed if the army took orders directly from the people funding it...

    Privatising the Army

    So I was thinking about economics and the market, and I got this idea, as stated by the thread title. Why not privatise the army? If it can work for utilities, health care and education, why should defense be an exception? Pros: - Better investment. Come on people, our current defense...

    Firefox and adobe

    http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php It's like adobe, but doesn't freeze your computer every time it opens. Which is nice for those of us running a 486, like me.

    north korea launches missile test

    They're giving Whale-Land a hell of a time. But whale land is a place I just made up now. ... It doesn't seem too big of a problem, though. I mean, the missile test failed ffs. You've got a 3rd world country that may or may not have nukes, testing military equipment that doesn't even...

    Other girls doing Engineering Studies?

    Guys aren't better at all, most girls just aren't interested, chemical being the exception, for reasons I'm not sure have ever been properly investigated. Studying engineering can be kinda homoerotic in a very male way, all the talk about pins and members and shafts, and what not, in a...
