@Sven Groot: you are correct, could have read it better. Sorry Bass.

@Dr Herbie: I'm quite happy handing out rods, I'm not happy with somebody stealing my fish in the name of equality and handing that fish to a guy with a rod.

@Sven Groot: I think its their own responsibilty to keep updated, as it is mine.

@ScanIAm:

So, you think I am selfish?

On the contrairy my friend.

Look at my blog, I'm sharing my inventions so that everybody can make their apps compete better with the most popular ones. Is that selfish?

Look at the Channel9 WP7 app that I created, for you among others to view ch9 content. For free. Selfish aswell?

You claim that I am wealthy because I am white, that's just racist and a insult to the hard work I've put in. I went to two colleges and four jobs to get where I am today. At my current employer we have all kinds of nationalities. They are doing exactly the same work I am doing and getting the exact same benefits and wage. I help people on their project even if it puts my own deadlines in peril and you have the nerve to call me selfish.

What I ment by that first line, is that you are claiming that they are not a part of society. That they are somekind of pest. Well, hate to bring it to you buddy, you are part of that pest. You are projecting your own frustrations on a set of people based on the amount of money that they have, that to me sounds like a bigot.

All I am proposing is that we treat all people the same. Rich and poor. Deregulate government with all it's complicated rules wich do more harm then good. Protecting businesses and multimedia tycoons with laws like PIPA and SOPA.

If you put your solutions to the test, you will see that the problem is not going to be solved but instead going to be bigger. But hey, you are free to persue your own goals.

And that you don't like me, I can understand that.

Here is a guy telling you that all you ever believed in, is not working out. It's hard to swallow. I would advise you to keep an open mind.

Oh btw, I don't judge you at all, I just think you are wrong.

@Bass: you think a plough or a harvester is a bad invention aswel?

as it puts hundreds of people out of a job.

How about a shovel? how about an electronic switchboard?

How about this forum? You are putting postal workers out of a job by using this forum, kind of hypocritical don't you think?

It's called progress, we free ourselves from trivial jobs, increasing efficiency, decreasing costs and freeing up people to perseu better work.

As to your being a fan of big gov, we tried that, didn't work. People died.

Of course it was always the wrong kind of socialism, not enough socialism, the wrong people doing socialism, excuses excuses. Socialism has never worked, neither has society run by government. It has always done more harm then good, making people poor and making people suffer. I can't for the life of me figure out why you can be for that.

@Charles: I agree, the more we know, the more we find out that we don't know.

Just be glad that these types of sciences don't affect our lives that much!

@GoddersUK: and why does it take them so much to research a drug?

More regulation, protected by even more regulation. Two wrongs does not make a right.

@ScanIAm: that would make seven lines in total;

L1, L2, L3, N, DC, GND

@cbae: I don't know anyone that borrows 10x their salary on a home, 4-5x maybe, but 10x? That's rediculous.

My wife and I bought a house 3x our income and that's considered normal , here in Holland.

So that would mean a 30m dollar home and that's not unheard off.

@ScanIAm: and you are placing the rich outside society, creating an environment of is against them.

While they have probeply contributed more to society then you ever will!

Secretly you wish you had the balls to make it big, but you are stuck in this blame the other guy for the lack of my success.

Toughen up and take the bull by the horns!

No one is going to make it easy for you, not the rich, not the poor and certainly not the government.
