Well I don't know a ton about her but I read a transcript of that show... And her childish babble would have been easily refuted be steelhouse on a method bender.

Putin decided that another 10 years in power seemed like a good idea, and will (unsurprisingly) seek the presidency of Russia next year.

Remember when CA started rattling the sabre about charging Amazon sales tax and it was going to cost 50,000 jobs in CA or something? Yeah.

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-f...,0,83960.story

Quote:

Abandoning its fight to avoid collecting sales taxes, Amazon now seeks to build what Paul Misener, a company vice president, called "a lasting partnership with the state."

The Seattle company, he said, plans to spend $500 million to open large distribution centers and other facilities in California that would create 10,000 full-time jobs — ones that carry such benefits as health insurance.

Fogive me if I don't shed tears every time corporations squeal like a pig at some onerous new job-killing abomination which comes along that they don't like.

i never payed much attention to that CA-Amazon **** that you were obsessed with because if you're going to be taxed everyone needs to be treated equally terribly as you are or whatever you're hilarious logic was, but from what i remember it wasn't amazon that would face damage, it was people who base their businesses around selling through amazon.

Someone should write an ACIst Dictionary. Or alternately ACists should just use our dictionary. Either way works for me.

People that understand what the picture you posted means are talking about it.

Some people are talking about a picture taso posted. Other people are blabbering about whether taso thinks people are bad, which is indeed irrelevant.

ok first of all, i lol'd

secondly, the picture is making fun of the circular logic of statists.

one does not need to believe that people are bad to understand that people who think a government made of people is needed because people are bad are illogical.
