THE OLD, TIRED IDEA that America has only a finite number of jobs -- and that we must guard them zealously against raids from cheap foreign labor -- has been making a remarkable comeback. The only difference is that its upside-down view of the economy has plumbed new depths.

Sorry to be the first to bring this up [chuckle], but the best way to defend patents, etc. is with the WTO.

Haha. I was going to say the exact same thing, but is there anything more futile than trying to explain the pro-capitalist nature of the WTO to the anti-capitalist FRinge? The WTO is full of faceless globalist baby-eating Enron evil CEO Halliburton bots that Beck_isright told us about earlier.

"Incidentally, feudalism got us out of the Dark Ages, but you don't see many defenders of feudalism anymore."

You're right. I'll quit defending capitalism right now. So please, give me your SSN, name and home address so I can report you to the Ministry of Truth. You ingrateful b*stard.

" Uh, no, it isn't. Name one penalty enforced and collected on China or Pakistan."

There, now my English has been corrected. I apologize to my home schooler for this oversight.

" 113."

????
You can't even provide direct answers to the questions I asked you. So basically my DUimpaired friend, you demand direct answers, but have neither the intellect nor politeness to answer?

Sad.

That's so liberal of you.

Bro, I've not only answered #156 several times, I've posted several other posts telling you I have answered #156. Since you're drunk, it would make sense that you keep posting #156.

"Slavery fits those definition as well. I'm also opposed to slavery."

So does freedom. What's your point. Are you opposed to everything in our history? Slavery was bad, protective tarriffs for key industries are good.

The futility is in your pretension of being a capitalist. You're just an Intellectual Property shoplifter.

Tell us all about your pro-capitalist nature when willingly violated your paid subscription license agreements, and then pretended to hide behind FR excerpting guidelines.

Do you support enforcing subscription agreements and prosecuting IP theft?

Are you opposed to theft, opposed to taking someone elses property in violation of promises and giving it away?

Do you support restrictions on people who violate agreements?

Hilarious. Angry, unhappy Starwind. We're all doomed, Starwind, as you know (and remind us constantly).
