So basically, not to be outdone, and to back up what an earlier poster said about what that aids pill guy did not being uncommon, some other rear end in a top hat named J. Michael Pearson, CEO of Valeant Pharmaceuticals pulled a lot of the same kind of poo poo, and then shamelessly went on record to say that “My primary responsibility is to shareholders. We can do anything we want to do."


Well, now that has kind of backfired, as the stock price of his corporation has dropped 40% in less than a week, with his personal stake being measured at around $1 Billion USD lost. The funny part is that this is not even related to the Shkreli incident, but to other shady business practises.

God this country is amazing.

I love that the state of Victoria has a public holiday so everyone can watch a horse race.

Hey, any day we can take off to act like the drunken bogans we really are, we'll accept with open arms.

Anyone who is arguing in this thread that taxes are bad or you should avoid paying them is an idiot and the reason why their country is circling the toilet, hope this helps. America in particular is getting incredibly lovely in some parts, with literacy and healthcare rates they are comfortably beaten by developing African countries.

Thanks for the heads up.

I swear the article I read said half a billion and not half a million but I can't find it again. I should have realised it obviously couldn't be correct anyway.

Can't tell if its comical because he has a small umbrella in his left hand and is geriatric hence the walking funny, or its hilarious because he has a bottle of wine in his left hand and is almost completely blind drunk, which is why he's walking funny.

So in a combination of fremdschamen and schadenfreude: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-internet-idUSKBN16Z2JI

quote:

The White House said earlier Tuesday that President Donald Trump strongly supports the repeal of the rules approved by the Federal Communications Commission in October under then-President Barack Obama.

Under the rules, internet providers would need to obtain consumer consent before using precise geolocation, financial information, health information, children's information and web browsing history for advertising and marketing.

Last week, the Senate voted 50-48 to reverse the rules in a win for AT&T Inc, Comcast Corp and Verizon Communications Inc.

The article then basically goes on to explain that the FCC chairman, along with many politicians and interest groups were complaining that private companies like Google, Facebook, etc were all able to capture private and personal information and sell it, but because of the ISP privacy laws, ISPs weren't able to do that for themselves.

The amusing part is people trying to defend it under the guise of 'now we will get more fair privacy laws that encompass everyone'.

Okay, Bob, looks like he is playing safe this round. After the defensive line shut down his first troll with no gains, looks he's dropping back for the old ad hominem.

Really, Winkledink, this is not as safe a play as you think it is. He's already lost a lot of yards with his first play, and unless he can come up with something really innovative, he stands to lose both yards AND the respect of the fans...

Bob, you were right. That ad hominem is getting him booed from the stands, and it looks like they won't be making those yards up. I think his only plays are to spin out to a meltdown, or, possibly just throw in the towel and walk away... What do you think he will do.

Seriously non horrowshow, o my droogie.

That's precisely what happened. Family of the victim said that he didnt even play video games, so he was just some poor hapless guy who was checking his front door because he heard noises.
