NSFW Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 "The Americans think they are outsourcing design and manufacturing to Taiwan, so that they can focus on the most profitable part of the business. The Taiwanese see themselves outsourcing the sales and marketing to the US, so that they can focus on the most valuable part of the business." ...said the CEO of a well-known Taiwanese electronics company. I'm not at liberty to name names, and I'm paraphrasing, but I felt that the idea was worth sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDII Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 "I recollected that her eye excelled in brightness, that of any other animal, and that she has no eye-lids—She may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance.—She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage.—As if anxious to prevent all pretensions of quarreling with her, the weapons with which nature has furnished her, she conceals in the roof of her mouth, so that, to those who are unacquainted with her, she appears to be a most defenseless animal; and even when those weapons are shewn and extended for her defense, they appear weak and contemptible; but their wounds however small, are decisive and fatal:—Conscious of this, she never wounds till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of stepping on her.—Was I wrong, Sir, in thinking this a strong picture of the temper and conduct of America?" -Benjamin Franklin Need forum help?

pfoyle Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Gah... alright, if you insist on fouling this thread... It strikes me as ironic when people claim something that they clearly have no idea about is "obvious." Are neural networks also obvious to you? Funny, out of hundreds of thousands of stolen firearms claims, not one police report references a completed background check left at the scene. Yes, because I was the one that fouled this thread... certainly not BDII with his initial idiocy. I find it ironic when people use the word "ironic" who clearly have no idea what it means... You're talking about stolen guns, we're talking about gun sales... if you intend on joining the conversation, please try to actually read/understand the conversation you are "joining".

BDII Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
