I don't know how it compares to McDonalds, but Dunkin' Donuts coffee is among the best. Since I'm not near any Tim Hortons any more--best coffee ever--it's the best I can find.

Receiving stolen property is a crime, and morally wrong regardless. Look, if someone is starving, stealing is still wrong. We look at it differently out of compassion, but it's still wrong. Look at two scenarios. 1) a person who's out of work, out of money, out of hope, looks like...

I'm shocked that my #1 fear hasn't been mentioned. I thought it was probably the most common. That is, wildlife on the road, mostly deer, moose, and the like.

I think he wants us all to have the Cuban economic & political system.

Reward yourself...for what, stealing? What do the indigent do worthy of a reward? A reward, by definition, is earned.

You're incorrect. FedEx & UPS are limited to DOCUMENTS and such. They don't check what's in the envelope (yet, afawk), so it could be done. But they aren't allowed to set up a system to handle first-class mail (i.e. letters). Only the post orifice may do that.

No, you can't. It's illegal.

Essentially. I mean, we'd have to lay down the law to Robin Hood (an apt analogy, considering he was stealing) about how such stolen monies can be used, what welfare EBT cards can & can't buy, how they shouldn't be able to make change, etc. The end result would be the same.

In addition to that, if Godzilla is fighting Mothra or Alien is fighting Predator, as long as they're hurting only themselves, YOU LET THEM.

Then you take out YOUR personal checkbook and YOU write then a check out of YOUR money. Keep your hands out of my pocket. I'm happy for you that you have plenty of money, but speak for yourself. I don't have plenty of money. I'm rather short on it, aamof, and since I'll have to retire someday...

Hey-ell no! We put up with their stealing because it's preferable to watching them starve and die in the street. So they get only what it takes to keep them alive and get decent nutrition. If they want luxuries, they can GET A JOB.

I'm not sure I buy his reasoning, but even if he's half-right, it will be catastrophic. From: http://wchildblog.com/2013/09/07/syria-will-lead-to-world-war-iii-and-it-will-be-nuclear-paul-craig-roberts/ Former Assistant Treasury Secretary Dr. Paul Craig Roberts says, “Let’s cut to the chase...

Correct. What one person receives without earning, another person earned without receiving it. It was stolen from him. In this country, there's a consensus that it's better to be stolen from than to have people starving and dying in the streets, even if it is a result of their own sloth. So...

Kudos to Vladimir Putin for realizing that a petulant little narcissist can be a dangerous thing, and providing a way to avoid WWIII.

So who are these moral and ethical supermen qualified to exercise this restraint? How can men as manifestly corrupt as politicians be trusted to do this restraining? Who's going to restrain them? Two men are no more moral than one. When the fox guards the henhouse, what happens to the hens? The...

Someone wanting to keep their own money is ugly?

Well, you bluffed 'em. You were wrong, of course. They had every right to make you leave without liability. Good bluff, though, if it was what you wanted.

Fascism, being an unholy merger of state & business, requires 2 parts, one of them--the ones with the guns, exercising violence--being government. And it's them that you're calling on to do the restraining. And that human nature you mention, human nature that's flawed, is at work in the...

Not only that, but if you confiscated the wealth of all those we consider rich and gave it directly to everyone we consider poor, in a few years, most of the formerly rich will be rich again, and most of the formerly poor will be poor again. There's a reason the rich are rich and the poor are...

When private companies don't please the customers, they go out of business, unless, of course, they're propped up by the government, either directly or by stifling competition, creating barriers to entry, much like wireless companies. Some of your examples are flat wrong. Blackwater, forex, is a...
