You need to draw lots of lines for lots of different personal beliefs. Prop 8 is an easy one to know which side is on the right side of universal human rights. You are free to feel…

I get what you are saying and i'm sure your analogy is correct in some cases. Wall St. has a long history of fraud and skimmers so it is understandable to say the HTF isn't that ba…

Yes, in your example the third party has witnessed a change in demand and is now changing his prices. In my example the Gas Station is doing a bait-and-switch where the price was 3…

" seller of the house has every right to reject my +500 bid in order to wait for a better deal if they think one is coming along" You know that someone else just said they were goi…

The person I want to buy the stock from is only offering the shares at 15.00 and I think that is a fair price. Why should someone jump in between the two of us and buy the stock fo…

I've done very little HTML,CSS but I feel confident that I could become proficient as a front-end dev. But it is going to take months. I assume you are saying that these companies …

Maybe Kevin Drum can provide the government a live encrypted feed of his family's bathroom and bedroom. I'm sure they will only crack the encryption if they think a bad guy is on t…

If you raise the US Minimum wage to $20 an hour you will immediately see people move their companies to Mexico,China,etc.. So that will only make the problem worse. Instead of maki…

It is a fossil from a time where people could only work when physically in their office. Not a fossil as in it existed millions of years ago

If you want to buy some sparkly jewelry to signify engagement I highly recommend moissanite. It looks better than Diamond because it is double refractive. Also, no one will be able…

Obviously! If I purchased 1 hour of Day Care I would expect to receive 1 hour of day care. However, if I paid someone to clean my house I would expect it to be clean after they wer…
