Well, as for lawyers, when they submit briefings they don't refer to a
recollection of something read once upon atime They cite specific
cases which are on-point. If they relied on some vague assertion,
absent any actual citation to legal authority, either statute or case
law, they'd be sure to have their argument rejected.

Besides, the better practitioners constantly check on things, and
update their knowledge and skills.


Actually, in order to maintain their right to practice their
professions they are required to complete a mimimum number of
professional education credits within a specific timeframe.

When it comes to heat and air conditioning, I do.


Did you mean "heating and air conditioning"?
You should know a lot. You think that 22 degrees Celsius is life
threatening.

Citing Hitler ends the thread, no?

Communism wasn't. so the communist countries eventually collapsed
and opted for capitalism. You object to "beat", fine. Was it worth saying
anymore than the bollox about "have you heard of ice ages"?

By saying that "Capitalism beat Socialism" you imply that if it wasn't
for Capitalism then Socialism may have succeeded.

Mike was implying precisely nothing of the sort, and you know it.

No, his phrasing was quite specific.

My very simple point
is that Socialism cannot succeed. Ever. Any circumstance. It is a
doomed philosophy.

Yeah, blah blah blah...

You seem to continually ignore that it's working just fine in a large
number of very affluent countries.

You seem to continually ignore the fact that it is in fact *failing* in
all those large, affluent countries. You can almost graph the level of
Socialism and the high rate of unemployment and see the parallel. The
more Socialism the slower the economy is growing and the higher the
unemployment.

France.

roughly 10%. No where near enough to keep up.

And that is why people leave the country for health care.

Following up to Mxsmanic

And yes my lifestyle is completely supportable. People have been saying
the US lifestyle isn't supportable for over half a century and we keep
improving.

Any lifestyle is supportable if the population is not allowed to
expand out of control.

to support the US lifestyle across the globe population will have
to start falling fast.

Funny, but a lot of those people have been coming across the globe to the US
to work, and be part of that lifestyle. Sounds like it's the thrid world and
socialist lifestyles that aren't sustainable.

Don't be stepping on his Socialist fantasies like that. :-)

For just about all of recorded history there have been people saying
that we are just about to run out of resources and we have to cut back
on our way of living or perish.

That would be true under a Socialist economy. But Capitalism has the
dreaded "profit motive" that the Left despises so much. For as far back
as you can read these problems have all been solved by people as soon
as someone found a way to profit from it.

The day may come when we all have little nuclear power plants we wear
on our wrists that power our jet cars that we travel from Europe to the
US in half an hour with zero pollution. And when that day comes I can
promise you there will be a small group of people telling us that we
are about to run out of fuel for our wrist power plants and that we
can't keep expanding so we must cut the population of man on Earth and
Mars and the 3 populated Jovian satellites because the lifestyle isn't
"sustainable".

There have been 5 major "massacres" in the past century plus 2 wars.
(I'm defining major as the deaths of at least 10 million people.)

So let's see what those 7 we

WWI: Started in Europe

WWII: Started in Europe (by a Socialist government)

The Holocaust: All in Europe (by a Socialist government) (about 10M)

Ukraine Famine: In Europe (by a Socialist government) (about 20M)

Chinese Purges: In Asia (by a Socialist government) (about 20M)

Soviet Purges: In Europe (by a Socialist government) (about 10M)

Malaria in Africa: Disease nearly defeated returned with a vengeance.
Caused by the banning of DDT (promoted by Left Wing Enviro-nuts) (about
20M)

A lot of people have a vested interest in an underclass that speaks no
English.

Mainly left-of-center politicians...

Yeah, you gotta love those peace loving Euro-Lefties. 100-200 million
people murdered in the last century. Great folks.

They are both very long dead. Believe it or not, things have changed
since then.

Tell me all about the "change".

Are you a bit math challenged?
How in the hell did you calculate 10 percent?
