    It'd make sense if you were writing out some Boolean expressions or trying to present something with formal logic. But you're writing English here so it seems inappropriate to a) d…

    One thing I don't get is how they sustain themselves in terms of income - does anyone know what they do to support their lifestyle? Just really curious (and potentially out of the …

    Original blackberry keyboard would like to have a word with you. I wish I could find a decent smartphone with the same keyboard "that tries to emulate a big keyboard"

    Abuse of taxes is not a party-specific issue. Until laws are passed to prevent this (which is probably a multi-decade lobbying effort), it will re-occur. You are right, it eventual…
