DaemonFCafter a while there were so many of them that they declared that it was no longer part of Mexico and the Mexican government wasn't really in much of a position to take it backMay 21 00:00
DaemonFCI don't think any states that are being overran by illegal Mexican immigrants will break away from the US, but what they will do is be an undue burden on the US welfare stateMay 21 00:01
DaemonFCto support a majority Hispanic population that will not ever bother to integrate itself May 21 00:01

TechrightsBot-trTitle: Americans in Afghanistan to fight through 2014, top commander says - ABC News .::. Size~: 51.57 KBMay 21 00:06
DaemonFC"The commander of NATO-led forces in Afghanistan bluntly warned Sunday that American soldiers will face combat in that war-torn country right up to the time they leave, December 31, 2014. "May 21 00:06
DaemonFCand once we leave it will still be a war torn country, only the government will eventually be overthrown and it will revert to being exactly how we found it a couple trillion dollars and a few thousand dead soldiers agoMay 21 00:07
DaemonFCif the Soviets never made any progress there despite years of trying and a STATED policy of murdering civilians indiscriminately to get what they came there for (oil), I don't know why anyone ever thought the US would fare betterMay 21 00:08
DaemonFCthe Soviet Union's occupation was far worse than the US occupationMay 21 00:09
DaemonFCwe drop food to civilians, the Soviets were dropping booby trapped toys to lure in and explode, maiming children who picked them upMay 21 00:09
oiaohmDaemonFC: You are missing it.May 21 00:09
oiaohmWhen the Soviets had Afghanistan the CIA thought it was a good idea to set up a drug trade to fund the rebels.May 21 00:10
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[thistleweb/@thistleweb] RT @x11r5 @expatpaul I am very good at itMay 21 00:11
oiaohmOk lets not care that those people are extrame relegions followers we well train them teach them how to grow drugs well and send them back.May 21 00:11
DaemonFCwell, the Taliban were not tolerating thatMay 21 00:11
oiaohmThe Taliban is directly the USA fault for creating them.  DaemonFC May 21 00:12
DaemonFCit's one of the reasons the country was severely poor under themMay 21 00:12
DaemonFCthe one cash crop they had was illegal and if you grew it, they'd burn it down and kil lyou and your familyMay 21 00:12
oiaohmNo the Taliban were growing the drug crop to fund weapons and the like.May 21 00:13
oiaohmIf you did not give you cut yes they would kill you.May 21 00:13
DaemonFCthe Afghan government has very few legitimate sources of income, because their GDP is largely dependent on deadly illegal drugs and "foreign aid"May 21 00:13
DaemonFCso their government is hardly legitimate and I can't see that changing in the near futureMay 21 00:14
oiaohmBefore Russian went Afghanistan had many different food crops.May 21 00:14
oiaohmThat they exported.May 21 00:14
oiaohmAnd the land there is still able to grow those.May 21 00:14
DaemonFCbut they found a more profitable use for itMay 21 00:15
oiaohmThe problem is getting the legitimate crops in the ground and the illegal crops out.May 21 00:15
DaemonFCkilling non-Muslims with heroin while making big bucks doing itMay 21 00:15
DaemonFCthere's nothing that a Muslim would find wrong about thatMay 21 00:15
oiaohmExactly Taliban logic.May 21 00:16
oiaohmSell the drug kill you enemy profit.May 21 00:16
oiaohmOther than the fact you end up not growing enough of your own foodMay 21 00:16
DaemonFCanyone stupid enough to use heroin deserves what happens to themMay 21 00:16
oiaohmSo you have to import to live.May 21 00:16
oiaohmReally in Afghanistan you have to get back to at least where the farmers can use enough to there land just to grow food for themselves at a min.May 21 00:17
DaemonFCanyone stupid enough to use meth deserves what happens to themMay 21 00:17
oiaohmHow is the problemMay 21 00:17
DaemonFCif people use something that kills them, and they know it will kill them, good riddanceMay 21 00:18
oiaohmThat is how it was before Soviet Union was in that area.May 21 00:18
DaemonFCdon't make it illegal, don't put them in prisonMay 21 00:18
DaemonFClet it play outMay 21 00:18
DaemonFCthe world needs fewer of themMay 21 00:18
oiaohmWhere farmers would grow a mix of drug and food crops.May 21 00:18
oiaohmAlso Australia we have to be careful.May 21 00:18
oiaohmTazamina is the largest legal grower of medical opiom poppy.May 21 00:19
oiaohmIts not like the plant Afghanistan grows does not have a legal usage.May 21 00:20
oiaohmIts volume they are producing more than the legal market needs.May 21 00:20
DaemonFCthe prescription drug industry produces more addicts than the illegal drug industry doesMay 21 00:20
oiaohmSo if they did go legal they would destory one of Australia's incomes.May 21 00:20
oiaohmSo you cannot say that Australia is in Afghanistan without motive.May 21 00:21
DaemonFCthere's not much of a push to punish doctors for handing that crap out to people who don't really need itMay 21 00:21
oiaohmheroin is only one product from the poppy.May 21 00:21
DaemonFCyou don't think there's a black market for prescription narcotics?May 21 00:22
DaemonFCyou don't think people get addicted to those and die from them?May 21 00:22
oiaohmStrong pain killers,  anti-cancer drugsMay 21 00:22
oiaohmThe narcotics side is not the only chemical the plant makes.May 21 00:23
oiaohmThe australian versions of it have been worked on to lift the other chemicals.May 21 00:23
oiaohmIts a quite useful plant.May 21 00:23
oiaohmAs with humans anything that can be abused is.May 21 00:23
DaemonFCI keep a bottle of aspirin around for migraine headachesMay 21 00:24
DaemonFCthat's the only pain killer I tend to use and I only use it when I'm in painMay 21 00:24
DaemonFCand it's not habit formingMay 21 00:24
oiaohmDaemonFC: I use an australian lemon grass for that.May 21 00:24
DaemonFCmore people take opiates because of a drug addiction than people who take them for painMay 21 00:24
DaemonFCthat's the dangerMay 21 00:25
oiaohmDaemonFC: it handles pain but does not thin blood.May 21 00:25
DaemonFCeven people who get them because they're in pain are at risk of becoming addictedMay 21 00:25
DaemonFCand then they go find other sources to get more of itMay 21 00:25
DaemonFCthere's a doctor here in town that writes many prescriptions for things like Morphine to people who don't really need itMay 21 00:26
oiaohmOne of the Australian native lemon grasses is used to assist against that.May 21 00:26
DaemonFCyou're going to ask how I know they don't need itMay 21 00:26
DaemonFCthe police did a massive prescription drug bust last year and arrested 105 people connected to a black market prescription drug ringMay 21 00:27
oiaohmIe you are on morphone doc swaps you to a lemon grass based tablet.May 21 00:27
DaemonFCdealers, users, etc.May 21 00:27
oiaohmAnd you don't notice.May 21 00:27
DaemonFCeveryone except this doctor that wrote out about 80% of those prescriptions originallyMay 21 00:27
oiaohmand getting off the lemon grass is simpler.May 21 00:27
DaemonFCthey don't do anything about white collar crimeMay 21 00:27
DaemonFCeven if they did bother to do anything with him it would be with kid gloves, like they do whenever they can't avoid prosecuting rich peopleMay 21 00:28
oiaohmThat is the thingMay 21 00:28
oiaohmMost docs in Australia cannot write Morphine for people.  Unless you have cancer or some other write off.May 21 00:29
oiaohmMorophine is hospital only.May 21 00:29
oiaohmUSA system is far too lax with the additive drugs.May 21 00:29
scientesoiaohm, yepMay 21 00:31
oiaohmIn fact if you are dieing docs are allowed to even prescribe the drug based of hemp that I cannot type.May 21 00:31
oiaohmIn AustraliaMay 21 00:31

oiaohmOur medical system here is highly sane.May 21 00:31
oiaohmOne of the big things that gives away drug shoping in australia is the goverment medicare card.May 21 00:32
oiaohmThe usa lack of proper traced public medical system gives a problem.May 21 00:33
oiaohmIe medicare card being used at many different docs in under a year needs investagtion.May 21 00:33

formic_what are you smokingMay 21 01:22

formic_it can't be audited for securityMay 21 01:23
DaemonFCthe people developing BSDs don't care about free softwareMay 21 01:23
formic_thats not true, stop trollingMay 21 01:24
DaemonFCthey just want software that works well and open source is an expedient way to get thereMay 21 01:24

DaemonFC20 May 2012May 21 01:29
DaemonFCRichard Dawkins endorsed a government plan to provide gratis bibles to UK state schools. He says that people who read these bibles will see how bad the book is as a moral guide. May 21 01:29
DaemonFCbut that's the problem with people who read the bible, they either really haven't read it or they have selected which pieces they agree with or selectively interpret everythingMay 21 01:30
DaemonFCthat way whatever they do is right and whatever you do makes you a nasty sinnerMay 21 01:30

DaemonFCthey also did not like that more and more people were becoming literateMay 21 01:35
DaemonFCif there's a lot of bibles floating around and most people are able to read, then the fear is that they will read it and decide for themselves that it is a load of nonsenseMay 21 01:35
DaemonFCbut, that didn't exactly happenMay 21 01:35
DaemonFCthere's many more people today that call themselves non-religious, but it's still a minorityMay 21 01:36

schestowitzDaemonFC: yeah, that's what it's all aboutMay 21 14:23
DaemonFCdespite numerous "free trade" agreements, US manufacturing and agriculture often has a hard time getting into Chinese and Mexican markets even when they would be price competitive or provide goods that the local economy there cannot produceMay 21 14:25
DaemonFCthose "free trade" agreements are completely one sided in favor of countries such as China and Mexico and that shows in the trade deficit between those countries and the USMay 21 14:25
DaemonFCthey're designed to break organized labor in the US, roll back every standard of living increase that we've accomplished in the last 100 yearsMay 21 14:26
DaemonFCthe benefit a few obscenely wealthy people in the US and the countries where we are "trading", and they lead to massive unemployment and low wages in the US, and what amounts to slave labor in the other country in questionMay 21 14:27
schestowitzsame hereMay 21 14:27
schestowitzyesterday I got a story for youMay 21 14:27

schestowitzNot homeless per seMay 21 14:28
schestowitzNot dodgy-lookingMay 21 14:28
schestowitzthey said they had stayed there for two weeksMay 21 14:28

schestowitzI don't think they were addictsMay 21 14:28
schestowitzIf cities become more like this, crime will surgeMay 21 14:29
DaemonFCI literally had several jobs spanning those few years because I'd get hired somewhere and then the next month they announced layoffs were comingMay 21 14:29
schestowitzpainting?May 21 14:29
schestowitzmaybe you got the job because of the layoffsMay 21 14:29
schestowitzsome people see it comingMay 21 14:29
DaemonFCpainting, welding, assembly line stuffMay 21 14:29

DaemonFCthey want to build up their warehouseMay 21 14:29
DaemonFClay everyone offMay 21 14:30
schestowitzand then they need quick recruits to train fastMay 21 14:30
DaemonFCso the supply isn't interrupted between the layoffs and when the shit starts coming in from third world countriesMay 21 14:30
schestowitzChina is not third worldMay 21 14:30

DaemonFCin Mexico and China there is a lot of wealth, but the income inequality is staggeringMay 21 14:31
DaemonFCand that's what they're trying to get done hereMay 21 14:31
schestowitzYeahMay 21 14:31
schestowitzso it depends which class you're inMay 21 14:31
schestowitzwealth and billionaires but also hunger in the same countryMay 21 14:32
DaemonFCI got an offer back in 2006 to go to Canada to help them set up a warehouse and train people to run itMay 21 14:32
DaemonFCI declinedMay 21 14:32
DaemonFCthey ended up shutting down their warehouse here in town and opening one up in Ontario and then a couple years later they closed the one in Ontario and brought the jobs back to the USMay 21 14:33
DaemonFCbut they didn't open their old warehouse here back up, they opened one up in OhioMay 21 14:33
DaemonFCyou have to wonder if the people running some of these companies even know what they are doingMay 21 14:33
DaemonFCwhy would you shut down a perfectly good warehouse that has a high level of automation and is operating very efficiently, move to Canada, change your mind two years later, and open up a new warehouse only about 100 miles from the old one in a state and county with much higher taxes, utility rates, and wage and hour laws?May 21 14:35
schestowitzmaybe some politician offered concessionsMay 21 14:36
DaemonFCI guess you could maybe argue that it was a better location except that it moves their warehouse about 100 miles in the wrong direction from where most of the stores they are servicing are locatedMay 21 14:36
schestowitzIt's often how they get things done in "free" trade\May 21 14:36
DaemonFCso now you have higher fuel and truck driver wage costsMay 21 14:36

DaemonFCschestowitz, You mean like Amazon's "Don't tax us or we'll move to Ohio" threat to the state of Indiana?May 21 14:37
DaemonFC:)May 21 14:37
DaemonFCso Indiana called their bluff, taxed them anyway, and Amazon responded that they decided not to move after allMay 21 14:37
DaemonFCgee, what a shockMay 21 14:37
DaemonFCthis should happen moreMay 21 14:37
MinceR:)May 21 14:37
DaemonFCbut before we told them what we were doing, we signed a compact with Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, and Ohio about what rate we would tax Amazon on should they reside in any of those statesMay 21 14:39
DaemonFCso there was nowhere for them to move where they were going to escape that 7% taxMay 21 14:39

DaemonFCthe agreement said that any state where Amazon moved to would collect sales taxes at the rate charged by other states in the agreement and forward the money to the appropriate stateMay 21 14:40
DaemonFCso Amazon ended up deciding that there was nowhere to go and stayed put May 21 14:40

DaemonFCthey whine and thrash about and make threats, but when communities band together and refuse to let them get away with making good on those threats, they fall apartMay 21 14:42
DaemonFCschestowitz, There should be a compact like this in all 50 states, agreeing at what rate they collect tax, and agreeing to enforce other states taxes that are assessed on a businessMay 21 14:43
DaemonFCdon't give them anywhere to runMay 21 14:43

DaemonFCschestowitz, Amazon was getting away, for a long time, with unfair competition with other retailers in IndianaMay 21 14:44
DaemonFCothers had to charge 7% sales tax while Amazon could get away with evasion to make their prices so low that no Indiana retail business could afford to compete with themMay 21 14:45
DaemonFCand while they were doing this, they had set up a huge distribution center here and tried to use it as blackmail to stay at zero sales taxMay 21 14:46
DaemonFCschestowitz, I'm voting for John Gregg for governor, he said he wouldn't go along with this policy of not starting to collect taxes from Amazon until the middle of 2014May 21 14:47
DaemonFChe said he'd implement the taxes on them on the day he was sworn in as governorMay 21 14:47
DaemonFCso for that and a few other reasons, he has my voteMay 21 14:47

DaemonFCsomewhere along the way, the Republicans managed to instruct INDOR to not start collecting taxes on Amazon until July of 2014May 21 14:48
DaemonFCthat's crazyMay 21 14:48
MinceRthey could still run to Mexico, couldn't they? :>May 21 14:49
DaemonFCas a reward for their illegal behavior they got another two years of being allowed to get away with illegal behaviorMay 21 14:49
DaemonFCMinceR, It wouldn't be a good ideaMay 21 14:49
DaemonFCthey might get a lower tax rate there, but it would come at the cost of a lot of bad PR and with fuel prices the way they are, running trucks hundreds or thousands of extra miles is just not an optionMay 21 14:50
DaemonFCthere's one good side effect of high fuel pricesMay 21 14:51
MinceRi thought there were tricks to make most of your business appear to happen in a state you do almost nothing in :>May 21 14:51
DaemonFCit discourages moving distribution centers to places that are that far away from the region they are servicing May 21 14:51
DaemonFCMinceR, Indiana's law states that any business with a physical presence here gets taxed hereMay 21 14:52
DaemonFCstates are just now realizing that their coffers are running dry and there's no way they can possibly extract more from personal income taxMay 21 14:53
DaemonFCso they're finally moving to start taxing some of these businesses May 21 14:53
DaemonFCthere's only so far you can take any particular tax before people either become unwilling to pay it or unable toMay 21 14:53
DaemonFCMinceR, My dad says he's about fed up with being double dipped by Indiana and IllinoisMay 21 14:54
DaemonFCthere's no agreement between the states to only collect income tax where a worker livesMay 21 14:55
DaemonFCso if you live in one and work in the other, you pay both taxesMay 21 14:55
DaemonFCso he's getting ready to move to IllinoisMay 21 14:55
DaemonFCand when he leaves Indiana, Indiana not only loses the income tax he was paying but all the other economic activity he was generating for the state's GDPMay 21 14:55
DaemonFCso policies like this encourage skilled workers to pack up and leaveMay 21 14:56
DaemonFCwhich is really really stupidMay 21 14:56
DaemonFChe ended up paying Indiana and Illinois state taxes, plus taxes for the county and city he lives in in IndianaMay 21 14:57
DaemonFCplus Cook County, Illinois and ChicagoMay 21 14:57
DaemonFCouchMay 21 14:57
DaemonFCthey're taking such a huge bite out of him, I'd move tooMay 21 14:57
DaemonFCif they were doing that shit to meMay 21 14:57
MinceR:>May 21 14:58
DaemonFCMinceR, He said he doesn't want to get too far from where his family is in Indiana but he can't afford to stay here and pay Indiana taxes on top of Illinois taxesMay 21 14:59
DaemonFCso I suggested that he find a nice town to live in on the Illinois side of the borderMay 21 14:59
DaemonFCjust a mile or two across the state lineMay 21 14:59
DaemonFCand then he's right next to where he works and only a couple hours away from where his family isMay 21 14:59

DaemonFC:)May 21 15:01
DaemonFCtheir collection centers have no way of telling where you bought the can so every can you deposit, it gives you 10 centsMay 21 15:02
DaemonFCif you take the same cans to a recycling center, you're looking at about half a cent per canMay 21 15:02
DaemonFCso wait until you go to Michigan and take your cans thereMay 21 15:02
