Okay, chalk me up as one of those who have totally missed the point.

Firstly, does anybody really seriously think that all this debate / petitions / letters is going to make much of a difference if our paternalistic rulers have already made up their minds?

Answer to http://shianux.jiyuuu.org/2005/01/02/open_letter_to_facts/

‘Hi! I was attracted to your website from the post you put up at www.newsintercom.org. I’ve put up a reply which disagrees with your call for FACTS to take down their petition.

I hope you don’t take offense at my opinions if they have been too barbed. I did think you raised up many good points supporting the establishment of a casino. I feel, however, that it is not going to convince these hard-core moralists otherwise.

1. Wannabe Lawyer, as a “principle libertarian”, maybe you should also be aware that some people’s right to do certain things would also necessarily impinge on the right of other people to do other things (don’t ask me to justify that, which I’ve read from somewhere else; I’m not a friggin’ sociologist, lawyer or philosopher).

Straits Times boo boo is a ‘bed and switch’

Before I make any other remark, I just want to point out that R is Indian, so the Chinese saying would have gone completely over his head. ;)

As I ponder the facts of that case, I am increasingly of the opinion that the case could only have been decided on the grounds of unilateral mistake. I suspect, as one would expect, that payment was already made. There can therefore be no issue about acceptance.

I felt it incumbent upon me to add a few thoughts to what has been said here on this issue after my rather interesting discussion with Adrian the night before. First, Adrian mentions that the rule that a valid offer arises only when an attempt at payment is made is based on policy. To some extent, this, I believe, is true. However, I disagree with the argument that this is so as to avoid a situation where an illegal contract should become enforceable. The law regarding illegality is sufficiently adequate to solve this problem. In my opinion, there is a more legalistic basis for this rule.

I can get the case if you want. NUS law students have access to Lawnet. And I think Lawnet access is restricted partly because of confidentiality, since some of the criminal cases involve minor’s names, unlike other countries, where the name is not reported at all, or replaced with an alphabet.

Ejl’s answer on

You deserve each other

MM Lee was, himself, a radical english-educated youth.

ok, given, he went to some not very famous primary school, but after that he went to RI for secondary and pre-university education, and also went to Cambridge, at a time when any post-secondary school education was a very very big deal. when he joined politics, he challenged colonial rule, he overthrew the communist party, he went heads-on with the malaysians.

Out of curiosity, what left-wing books have you read? I ask merely because your bookshelf seems full of right-wing books (I include purportedly neutral ones such as Sowell in that category because he casts the debate in the right’s rather than the left’s pre-theoretical terms) and I wonder if you aren’t perhaps getting a less than complete understanding of what it means to be left-wing.

An Overview of Guaranteed Payday Loans No Faxing

Posted by admin on June 21st, 2011 filed in Finances, General
Comments Off

You will need to fill out an application online for guaranteed payday loans no faxing. The process is rather easy and you will be asked several questions about your personal information, your employment and your banking information. These companies use a system that is fool proof which allows them to get your application approved within a matter of minutes over the Internet. You will not be required to fax any information in order to obtain these loans. After you have been approved, the funds are directly deposited into your banking account either the same day or the very next day. There are no credit checks completed to be approved for guaranteed payday loans no faxing. So, those who have bad credit can still get a guaranteed payday loan.

My dispute with Kelvin on the topic of the only libertarian from Singapore.

We put one plane in the air and one ship in the sea.

Reminds me again of my Civilization 4 games where I need to suck up to civ A so that I can get a permanent alliance later. When this civ A ask me to join in the war with another civ that is far far away from me, I agreed and then basically did nothing, never send any troops to help A whatsoever.
