Let me guess- you've never worked at Amazon, have you? There may be 40 million lines of C++ code there, I don't know, but I do know there was a massive Java code base, plus every o…

I worked at Amazon. Amazon is a company with a strong corporate culture, but this culture does not reflect reality. They talk about "door desks" and like to think they are a startu…

One could, in fact, call it a regressive form of taxation.

You're looking at tertiary effects and missing the first order effects that are much stronger. Everyone needs capital, and whether your net worth is $1 or $1B, you need that capita…

I like how you just assert-- sans any evidence or argument-- that they are trying to "get around things intentionally". You don't even say what things. Don't bother, I don't care. …

One of the signs you're dealing with a troll is that their ignorance is all the justification they need to make personal attacks, and they stay relentlessly focused on such attacks…

Says the college student who, let me guess, never worked at microsoft. As someone who has, PMs are not technical people, at least not in that company at the time I worked there. I …

You called him misguided and childish. You lose the argument.

That is the first definition from the dictionary definition. It is very difficult to debate an issue with people who are not aware of the basic definitions of the terms, and, despi…

I have looked at the relevant laws, an the liberty dollar does not violate either. They never passed it off as government money, nor did they mint any coins. (Coins are government …

There is no law prohibiting private currency. Disney Dollars: http://www.disneydollars.net/ BerkShares: http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/jul2007/sb20070... . Buy Local—…

No, you're rewriting it by omitting the relevant clause. The race discrimination is one of the clauses that can invoke it, not the only one. Let me quote it with line breaks for re…

"They were minting physical coins." No, they were not: "a piece of metal stamped and issued by the authority of a government for use as mony" "They called them dollars." So does di…

The first definition of coin: "a piece of metal stamped and issued by the authority of a government for use as mony" These were not coins. They were not issued under government aut…

I don't think anyone denies that there are areas where the constitution is not sufficiently detailed. However, the constitution still says what it says, and many actions that are c…

I won't attempt to argue that the Liberty Dollar wasn't a misguided enterprise. Even when the law is on your side, the fact that the government controls the courts assures that you…

Alas, the wayback machine won't let me see the video, but even the name of it is bad since it contains the word "coin". Most may assume that "dollar" means USD, but that is not the…

After the fact you are able to try and prove that the money or assets were not used in the commission of a crime. How one could ever prove a negative is beyond me, and the burden o…

It would be cut and dry if you could show any "utterances" from the Liberty Dollar / NORFED, where they represented their products as US government money. They did not, and further…

My understanding of economics is sufficient that I understood we'd be having a housing bubble in 2001, and by 2007, I'd profited massively from it and gotten out, well before the c…

Actually, the document was written with the intention that anyone could read it and easily tell if their government was violating it or not. There have been a lot of people making …

I think Blogger Bob is the TSA? But the DHS is the ones that were behind the seizure of "torrent" domains, without any kind of court ruling or trial. I wish we had access to the pr…

You're misremembering. The primary educational effort of the Liberty Dollar focused on, whenever someone asked what it was, or you offered it, making clear that it wasn't US curren…

Visa is a currency. So are travellers checks and regular old checking checks and coupons. All of these are also denominated in dollars. If you were to take some time and study the …
