McArdle tends to absorb the opinions of those around her and she has become more anti-abortion as time goes by, although her infertility might have something to do with that as well.<br /><br />As always, let us note that McArdle thinks women should be forced to have something shoved up their vagina if they want an abortion. Hurting others is a bonus in her philosophy, and if gays are harmed by her actions, so what.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-33401861944121135242014-10-02T07:04:15.179-05:002014-10-02T07:04:15.179-05:00Looks like cyberbullying rates are down.

Regulation causes corruption...They're geniuses! Regulation causes corruption, just like car alarms cause carjacking.<br /><br />McArdle ignores the fact that the both teams will work to keep the ref honest; if he shows bias the slighted side will protest and there are mechanisms in place to arbitrate. The banks are not ratting on each other to prevent someone else from being dishonest, they are changing the rules or evading punishment.<br /><br />But what can you do with a commentariat that routinely ignores facts and simply states the opposite.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-50105263308278352602014-10-01T19:56:21.046-05:002014-10-01T19:56:21.046-05:00Ooh, I had my head handed to me.

The general "Perfect, Megan!" constituency seem to think that this "proves" that regulation is inherently corrupt, and that the industry could "self-regulate" according to some general principles.

In this case, we learn why umpiring in MLB and refereeing in the NFL and NBA "inevitably" gets corrupted. Umps and refs want to be liked. They're intimidated (and who wouldn't be?) by the younger, stronger athletes they pretend to judge. And, in the end, they all want jobs with the teams. No, no, I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm just saying that it's inevitable, and accounts for why no one has any trust in the outcomes of professional sports competitions.Mr. Wonderfulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-74272437240320357082014-10-01T10:59:58.239-05:002014-10-01T10:59:58.239-05:00Sweet Jesus, she's writing in the comments lik...Sweet Jesus, she's writing in the comments like her 5 minutes of debunked research on The Great Depression made her an expert.<br /><br />Also, she's written in the past before that SEC regulators don't get paid enough to do their job.<br /><br />Sigh.
