It really doesn't bug me.  What was he supposed to say "Business exist solely to make a profit?"

You can't exactly describe complex morality in 140 characters.

I was actually just thinking about this, this morning.  Under certain interpretations of Catholic principles, it might be possible to argue that publicly owned companies probably shouldn't engage in much charity (outside of the standard self-interest based style of "charity" for PR and tax purposes) rather disperse the profits to the shareholders and leave the charity up to them. (Things get a little more complex for privately owned companies especially as the number of owners approaches 1.)

for what is worth.  I posted this last night, late

I am obsessed. Did a chronology to try and get the facts straight in my head about the info in the affidavits about the bombing. Diaz is Diaz Kadyrbayev. Azamat is Azamat Tazhayaker. Robel is Robel Phillopos. Joker is lil bro terrorist. Speedbump is speedbump.

15 Apr - 2:49 pm - the bombing

17 Apr - Afternoon - Diaz drives to Joker's dorm, texts him to come down, they talk, Joker goes back to dorm room.

Midnight - Joker was with Azamat at his Carriage House apartment partying until midnight

18 Apr - 4 pm - Joker gives Azamat a ride home to the apartment after Azamat's class.

5 pm - FBI releases Joker's photo.  Robel calls Diaz and says it looks like Joker.

8:43 pm - Diaz texts Joker and says it looks like him in the photo. Joker texts back "LOL" and says to "I am about to leave if you need something in my room take it"

9 pm - Diaz meets Azamat at the apartment.  Diaz calls Robel and tells him to meet them at Joker's dorm room

10 pm - at Diaz's direction, they collect the backpack, Vaseline, fireworks tubes and lap top from the room and return with it to the apartment

midnight - the brothers car jack the Asian dude, who escapes at a gas station. Gas station is very close to Robel's apartment.  The brothers get spotted by Watertown PD, throw two IED's at them and engage in a firefight.  Car is abandoned, FBI recovers an intact pressure cooker IED from the car. Joker injured in the gunfight but gets away. Speedbump dies.

19 Apr - 6 am - still at the apartment together, Diaz, Azamat and Robel hear on the news speedbump is dead.  Diaz says they have to throw away the backpack and what they put in it.  Diaz puts it in the dumpster, and Azamat watches the dumpster get emptied that day.

19 Apr - FBI takes all three in to custody and interviews all three

20 Apr - FBI interviews all three again, Diaz says they all decided to get rid of the back pack. Azamat says Diaz made the decision. Robel denies everything.

25 Apr - FBI interviews Robel again

26 Apr - FBI interviews Robel again, and they recover the backpack

the affidavits never mention the laptop. They were in on it.

They thought they covered their tracks

My son is doing a class project on Thomas Paine and I have learned a great new phrase which I am now using often. It seems that toward the end of his life John Adams changed his mind about Paine's "Common Sense" pamphlet and declared it a "crapulous mass" (that's not a typo, he said mass)

So now when I am irritated about how something is disorganized, or written poorly, or just in general annoying I declare "this is a crapulous mass!" and feel all intellectual and stuff.

Depressing but vindicating.  I like it when the bad guys get it. 

Diaz is totally in on it.

He goes to see Joker on the 17. 

When he gets a call from Robel about the photo being released, he immediately texts Joker, who tells him to pick up his stuff. 

Diaz picks up Azamat, and calls Robel and tells him to meet them at Joker's dorm room. 

Diaz tells the others what to take, packs it up and takes it back to his apartment. 

They stay together all night, prolly watching the news, and see speedbump has died at 6 am. 

Diaz decides they need to throw the stuff away, and does it.  No way he didn't know

He doesn't live in the papal residence.  He choose to live the in the communal apartments next to it (although he still uses the residence for audiences but that's out of necessity.)

The Church accumulated a lot of it's wealth in the Vatican during the middle ages, admittedly when we weren't exactly at our best.  But a few things.

1) It'd really be impossible to sell it anyway, even if we wanted to.

2) the church sees part of it's roll as keeping history and culture.  Which in the past has actually been the only refuge for people trying to destroy knowledge and culture (I'm looking at you dark ages.)  So in a sense getting rid of some of the stuff (especially the art) really isn't in the offing.

Even when the church sells an individual church building (due to a parish closing for example) they typically strip it of everything and redistribute the artwork among the other parishes.

Real life internet sales tax situation - now you can play "What would an AoS commenter do?"

I'm buying an aeration system for my pond today.  The local (80 miles away) brick and mortar store was helpful on the phone, they used Google Earth to measure the pond and emailed a recommendation on the right unit with a layout of where to place the heads. 

They quoted a total of $2529.95 for the equipment, free UPS ground shipping and $151.80 in state sales tax.

On line, there are other retailers selling the same stuff at the same price.  Walmart.com is about $200 less, but there is some confusion over the amount of hose. Plenty of other retailers at the same price, all with free UPS ground. 

Assuming everything is the same and the savings to me would be the sales tax if I ordered from an out of state company, what is the recommendation from the hoarde as to where to buy this?

The Libtards are getting even stoopider. Is it even possible?

Note.... the Pope talked about JOBS... not about giving shit away....

Money is a way of keeping score... and in the modern environemnt its value fluctuates because of Bank Policies (not even Government... the FED Res is not a Government entity really, its a board of bankers)...

We need to shft our thinking over from the accreation of Money, to the Creation of Wealth.... ie... the creating of THINGS.

When most of the rich folks today, are bankers, and Lawyers... which are SUPPORT systems for an economy (they do not create wealth themselves... they do not add value to anything)... then the 'friction' inside the system is getting too great...

Add in Government regulatory costs.... and this 'friction' will kill any true wealth creation.

Link in the nick. Law of unintended but easily forseen consequences. Government mandates feed in tariffs for wind, thus driving up energy costs by 40%. Economy goes in the crapper and there is too much base load available, and we will soon need to idle a nuclear plant. When it's not windy we will have to replace said nuclear plant with fossil plants, which is most of the time. Result - more CO2 emissions than ever even at reduced load. Way to go liberal geniuses.

I was hoping for a murder-suicide, in which he killed his worthless family first.

True story - I called my grandmother up and asked if she'd like to go to a movie with me.  She was in a nursing home, so she was always ready for an outing.  So, I ask her what she wants to  see and she says, "American Beauty." 

Ok, I say.  What's it about?  I haven't seen any commercials for it.

"I think it's about roses."

Ok, sounds  boring, but whatever.  So I pick  her up, toss her wheelchair  in  the bed of the truck and off we go.  It's during the day and the movie's  been out for a while, so there's only at most five other people  in the theater.  I get her  all settled and comfortable and she's beaming because she's out on the town and we both cease our small talk and turn  to the screen as the lights go down...

To see Kevin  Spacey jerking off in the shower in the very first scene.  As I pinch the bridge  of my nose  and shake my head in disbelief,  my grandmother says,  "Oh, my!"

And then the movie just went  downhill from there.  And it wasn't about roses.

"The most shocking thing I've heard today: 44% of Republicans think armed revolt may be necessary to protect liberty. (Linked on Drudge under 29% of Americans think armed revolt may be necessary.)
Civilization is like a frozen lake.The icecan break in an instant and we're living on thin ice."

I've actually been considering making a video game based on Falling Down.

Problem is, some folks who take a vow of poverty become so enamored of the idea that they endeavor to make every person of means adhere to it.

But I'm guessing that the Church will still pass the collection plate, amirite? Filthy lucre suddenly transformed into a sacred offering. It's a miracle!

You know, I once rolled my eyes when I read that Mandy Patankin quit the show because the subject matter was sucking away his humanity.  Now that I've actually watched the show a bit in reruns, I don't blame him in the least.  Even as fiction, too much exposure to that stuff can't be good for you.

Speaking of which I see slavery is suspected in the Saudi embassy to the US (linked on Drudge) and I read in the paper this morning about Mexican undocumented but totally welcome, dude, immigrants, enslaving young Mexican girls to pimp out on the streets of NY. 

"Besides, philosophically, we should prefer a sales tax as opposed to an income tax. It is fairer to tax consumption than to tax income."

Absolutely.

Oh, yes, Leaving Las Vegas, same deal.  I have a few of those in my brain.  Great movies that I never want to see again.

Todays menu:  Stir fried shrimp with pea pods, water chestnuts, red peppers and cashews, coated with a plum preserve/hoi-sin/orange sauce (plus other things like garlic-chili paste, soy,  sesame oil,  etc.).

If you're going to cook Chinese at home,  I say:  go big.

so keep the commitment, reschedule one, and make the third a Friday night.  Waiting will make the date with the hottie even better. If she has to be rescheduled, make sure you  let her know you are interested, like a note or flowers in the middle of the week when she does not expect it

I always talk about how hot  Natalie Wood is in This Property Is Condemned but that is one hell of a depressing movie.

It is a Tennessee Williams play after all.

I didn't go through the whole thread but if The Deer Hunter and Once Upon A Time In America weren't on the list of depressing movies, they should be.

"...you're getting a good deal at $2600. Every site I looked at was over $3,000, not including shipping."

I bought the fountain (about $4800) from this guy also, so that probably helps.  Also, he probably put his kids through college on what we spend on chemicals. 

"I would say that why you would want an attractive wife, you shouldn't choose based on physical bombshellness because the bombshellness may not last too much longer."

Yes, but if you start off with ugly, it's probably not going to get much better.

Stick to the ones that swallow.  There are many occassions that a real lady just can't spit.
