Sorry, I meant could you explain woz so terrible?

fines, forced labor and executions.

That's about as inhumane as it gets! Not terrible enough for you?

[andydes]

Nah, it's ok. If you've got the money you could pay off your fine or maybe have good enough insurance to cover it. Only poor people would see forced labour camps or face execution.

Correction, only poor people who commit crimes and are unable to makes amends. Or do you think criminals shouldn't be held accountable for their crimes?

[andydes]

Yes. That is exactly what I meant obviously.

I could think of a few worse things

[andydes]

Well thanks for the chat Galt.

I haven't felt this amiable towards mainstream politics in years.

I'm even starting to think NSA and GCHQ suppressing democracy to maintain the status quo may not be such a bad thing afterall.

Democracy is evil.

Agreed. Some people should definitely not be allowed to vote.

University professors get paid up to $500 an hour

Are you talking course credit hours or man hours?

If you're saying the latter then , right.

Professors on Mars maybe.

[Galt]

I guess we're not from the same country. A number of my close friends are university professors and I've seen their paychecks. Bastards.

[stringtapper]

That would mean a professor working only 20 hours per week (i.e. half time) would make $500,000 a year.

Even the top paid university president in the US makes around $700,000 a year.

When I'm done with my dissertation I'm looking for positions where ever the hell you live.

Galt, you're not working in Zimbabwe by any chance?

Nooooo... that'd be crazy! Here they only work a few hours a week! So. Rich AND lazy
