Oh I figured you might have a scholarship or a study-abroad thing paying for it. Well if you get the chance, that campus looked pretty kickass but I guess that's unlikely given that Ottawa's not exactly near Alberta.

OOH! Idea! they could have arrows theoretically pointing in ana and kata, the theoretical dimensions that would be introduced with the concept of a fourth dimension and...okay, my train of thought stopped right there.

See, so zero dimension is a point, first dimension introduces forward and backward, second dimension introduces left and right, third introduces up and down, fourth inroduces ana and kata.

Theoretical fourth dimension? Theoretical? What about time?

though it is still theoretical

I personally like the idea of universal health care.

A pharmacuetical company works for years and spends millions of dollars on a cure to a disease or treatment for an existing one, and instead of being allowed to make a profit off it to fund further research and create an incentive, we just have a guy roll by in a corn powered VW van and take what he needs.

This is an entirely real and maintainable system. We need more of it.

That's not really a fair argument, as you are pretending that the pharma people did not get paid at all. The reality is that we'd just be commying it up and all chipping in to pay the pharma company together, mediated by the government, instead of having the free market do it.

I shared a sandwich with a homeless guy once. I also gave another one a bottle cap for a free soda when he asked for money for "something to drink." I think I'm doing a good job of helping.

I think I've earned a railgun.

The Far Side

government controlling every aspect of major production in the economy = very yes

government controlling social issues = very no

Penguin Incarnate

It is the perfect argument.

Men in corn powered VW vans know what is up.

Seriously, I don't get it when people say time is the fourth dimesion. If you approach the problem paradigmatically, then you complete the series of edges and vertices of all other dimensions and logically deduce the characteristics of a fourth dimension.

Would that not result in less money for the pharmaceutical companies though? Let's say the combined efforts of the country don't outweigh the profits from the hightened price payed on free market by a few million. Less research gets done.

He plans to be there that long anyhow. Cheap school now, cheaper or free school later.

I've been working with at guy that got his PhD in metallurgy from the University of British Columbia. Sharp guy, real sharp.

That's fucking idiotic. Giving all of the power in society to one single entity is basically begging that entity to become as corrupt as anything ever could. Furthermore, innovation comes from small-scale entrepreneurs who have vision and take risks to innovate because they have the chance to become fabulously wealthy if it works out; it does not come from huge, stale bureaucracies.

Are you seriously so stupid that you think that government control of the economy would be a good idea and wouldn't lead to horrendous corruption and inefficiency coupled with lack of innovation? Seriously? Because if you are, just shoot yourself.

Okay. I will explain. First look at the series of points found in each dimension: 1, 2, 4, 8. Logically, it is a geometric series and the next term is 16. So, logcically, a hypercube has 16 points.

EDIT: It's hard to carry on two simultaneous conversations, especially with my typing skills.

it takes three years to get a citizenship

the government should not solve people's problems for them, but it should assist people in need.

Penguin Incarnate

We need to remove the ability to become affluent.

I think that it is a commonly accepted fact that no one has ever done something important for profit or prestiege. People should be expected to do things out of the goodness of their heart for little or no compensation. We should make a government bureaucracy to make sure this is implemented.

Also, money, it's just paper, man.

The question, you barbarous philistine, is not whther monopolies are "rad" but whether the government has any power to control or bust monopolies. In my previous posts I have held that it does not.

I'm just saying that the implication that the pharma companies magically work for free is not a fair characterization. I believe that having some social program is good, but that the free market really needs to be involved in order to allow competition and innovation.
