Prostitution, it just became legal in Canada or it's going to be legal. Pretty surprising to me.

Quite honestly, I'm surprised it's illegal. xD

My boss described VAT fraud to me once using two permanent and two disposable companies in two countries. One could essentially create money from nothing and it'd be legal for the permanent companies.

Alcohol.

Why?

Alcohol.

Why?

maybe due to it being one of the dangerous if not the dangerous drug known to man?


i can't believe the federal reserve and their system/practices are legal and people are blindly letting it happen...

What about those of us who have control?

Isn't a glass of wine a day good for your heart?

yes, but as time goes by the history has shown that fewer and fewer people have control over their consumption and alcohol...

Silicon Valley Capitulates to Jesse Jackson Shakedown
05/29/2014
In the sixth year of the presidency of an African-American, long after Jesse Jackson, Sr. should be seen as relevant to anything, some of the largest companies in California's Silicon Valley are resuscitating his career as tribute artist. Jackson once again is resorting to his anachronistic but apparently still effective tactic of issuing an ultimatum for "diversity," giving a company a choice: 1) orient hiring, marketing and other activities to favor nonwhites; or 2) get ready for a boycott, picketing, a lawsuit or other bad publicity. Though it has been a number of years since he has pulled this off, this May he gave information technology industry titans the full Jesse treatment - and on their own turf. At shareholder meetings of eBay, Google and Facebook, Jackson issued aggressive calls to hire blacks and other "people of color," especially for top positions. Two months earlier he had brought his shakedown campaign to Hewlett-Packard. The response from each company was either silence or capitulation.

Jesse Jackson, popularly known as Rev. Jesse Jackson, now 72, more than anyone this side of Al Sharpton, embodies the spirit of intimidation that passes for "civil rights" in this country. Through his Chicago-based nonprofit organization Rainbow/PUSH, Jackson for decades has fused black identity politics, socialist economics and Biblically-tinged universalistic moralizing to promote his idea of social justice. His mix of charisma and menace, rendered in a street preacher's cadence, has cultivated a large contingent of followers. Long a dominant player on the Democratic Party Left - he ran for President in 1984 and in 1988 - Jackson is a master of the business shakedown. When he speaks, white executives listen. For they know that he can make life very rough if they don't "cooperate." Corporate leaders from Anheuser-Busch to Toyota have acceded to his demands, agreeing to earmark large sums of money for minority hiring and outreach. Moreover, they typically make sizable donations to Rainbow/PUSH, thus making possible future shakedowns. Often as well they set aside a certain portion of their contracting to minority-owned firms that pay Jackson for referrals. Jackson's style can be called affirmative action with a clenched fist. And because of white executive timorousness, it gets results.

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone (literally) who can or is willing to have control over the alcohol they drink. It's one of the reasons why I don't drink so that I don't make an ass of myself and make the same mistakes.
