[CGUYS] Criminal Intent [Was: Windows Media Player sound
conform to the EU dictates Watch your language and tone down the propaganda please! These are democratically elected governments working to protect their citizens from the ravages of a predatory monopolist. They do not dictate they enforce the laws. It's suspected this is being done to head off the anti-trust pinheads in the EU. I'm sure Madoff thought the regulators at the SEC were pinheads too. MS was found guilty in US Federal court and necessary remedies were squashed by an administration that preferred illegitimate profits over law and order. The governments of the EU did for follow this same corrupt path. They are not pinheads they are heroes. If the US had not been run by corrupt leaders for the last 8 years the current economic crash would not have happened. We are now suffering the consequences of their malfeasance. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

The first US depression did not occur until after the government started meddling in the economy. Look it up. All governments are corrupt by their nature - that is why we need to keep them small.

These are democratically elected governments working to protect their citizens from the ravages of a predatory monopolist. They do not dictate they enforce the laws. No, they are appointed bureaucrats, with their own transparent, authoritarian agenda. Do you honestly think that public elections are held for the European Commission of the EU? I'm sure Madoff thought the regulators at the SEC were pinheads too. O...scary strawman!!! Rrrraaarrgh!!! Actually, I'll bet that he did. They ignored him for years as he literally swindled billions of dollars from people. And this has to do with anti-trust theory how, exactly? Right, it doesn't.

MS was found guilty in US Federal court and necessary remedies were squashed by an administration that preferred illegitimate profits over law and order. Ever hear of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia? U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly? No? That explains a lot. The governments of the EU did for follow this same corrupt path. They are not pinheads they are heroes. All hail their cunning bravery in the face of Windows Media Player! What an unstoppable monster! We owe them a debt of gratitude, as they made the world a safer place for iTunes. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

At least you and I agree on that. Had the state not manipulated and interfered with a well-functioning market with perverse and distortive incentives, we'd all likely be better off today. Too bad you can't keep connecting the dots when it comes to the futility of software development by judicial decree. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

No, they are appointed bureaucrats, with their own transparent, authoritarian agenda. Next you will be calliing them Old Europe. Why are you so terrified of government of the people, by the people, and for the people? The oligarchs you support have brought us nothing but ruin. Too bad you can't keep connecting the dots when it comes to the futility of software development by judicial decree. Even sports teams have referees. You have no proof that lawless anarchy will magically bring us paradise and current events amply demonstrate the ruination that laissez faire brings. Ever hear of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia? U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly? Look up her history with the Bush administration. I have watched her be their go-to judge whenever dirty work needed to be done. Look who handed out all those FISA warrents like they were Mardi Gras beads. You preach laissez faire when it benefits the oligarchs and then praise judges who foster opressive rule over the people. I am not going to contunue this off topic thread and ask others not to pick it up. We don't want to go there again.. My initial post was intended to raise a warning that you were seeding your posts with inappropriate politically charged language. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Ah, I see you're from the school of no failure capitalism. It's always supposed to be spring flowers and playful puppies. Here's a news flash, chief: even with a completely free market, failure is a feature, not a bug. You preach laissez faire when it benefits the oligarchs and then praise judges who foster opressive rule over the people. No, I advocate free markets because it benefits everyone overall, even oligarchs. Again, that's a feature, not a bug. As to the latter, you're just arguing with the Jeff in your head. My initial post was intended to raise a warning that you were seeding your posts with inappropriate politically charged language. Oh, there's appropriate politically-charged language on the list now? You'll let us know what ideas are acceptable to you and which aren't, won't you Herr Doctor? Just post a list of all the bad thoughts on the CGUYS page. It was really a throw-away line with no hook, but you saw one anyway. The EU has just gotten very silly with its clumsy attempts at micromanaging markets. I'll withhold judgment as to your silliness. . * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
