    Catch up Canada! No thanks. We understand that men are more reckless than women and we refuse to needlessly harm our insurance companies.

    I'm sorry, it's not technical innovation. If someone invents a horse and carriage when the automobile is already in existence, the horse and carriage is not innovation. The poster …

    I like the part where they got into orbit! Oh wait, they didn't, why is anyone paying attention to this company?

    It's interesting how shameless you are about your blatant racism.

    You find racial discrimination acceptable? Or also virtuous? Is it a good goal to strive for in 21st century society? Do you find virtue in breaking people up into racial and gende…

    I am glad we agree that this VC fund is based on racial discrimination. I am upset that you find this acceptable, if not virtuous.

    It is not that they have been systematically discriminated against; it is that they are being systematically discriminated against with this very fund. Let's get this straight: You…

    Racism does not depend on history or society, it depends on whether or not there is active racial discrimination. You imply that only the powerful may be racist, and that discrimin…

    It is at the very least racial discrimination, as it discriminates on the basis of race who should receive funding. You could argue that it does make the claim that non-colored men…

    It's easy to build one of something. Especially when the engineers building on of something usually build several of 1,500,000kg rockets.

    Well what other "economics" are there if not "trickle-down" economics? How else, exactly, does wealth get from the rich to the poor if not through employment?

    Fair enough, I think given the replies I've received that I need to learn more about tax rates and growth; since I've already started the conversation with you do you have any sugg…
