So, I already know you disagree with the OP, but now offer some solutions that might, in your mind, progress this thread in some way. If you are saying that the OP is wrong then you have voiced your opinion and there really is no point to keep arguing with people that agree with the OP. It then seems that you are angry that certain people are not agreeing with you...which seems hypocritical.

Did you really read through all of them?

Because it looks like you missed a little something. No I do not agree with the OP. That is ok, right? This is still a discussion forum and not his private diary, right?
Funny thing is I read through all your post in this thread and see nothing but you criticizing me. You offer no solutions, alternatives, or even any kind of discussion about such things. Nope. All you wrote about was how you want something from me that I not only never offered but also already answered to. Watch out for falling glass while tossing stones around.edit on 5-8-2011 by Kitilani because: (no reason given)

In fact I did answer it, it would be handled in arbitration.
it mainly handled by arbitrators. Since arbitration requires a consensus of the parties in question and since loser pays as long as your case is solid, there should be little issue of getting an arbitrator to take on a corp.
Notice how you did not even actually answer the question I asked? Yeah, I noticed that too.
At its core, arbitration is a form of dispute resolution. Arbitration is the private, judicial determination of a dispute, by an independent third party. An arbitration hearing may involve the use of an individual arbitrator or a tribunal. A tribunal may consist of any number of arbitrators though some legal systems insist on an odd number for obvious reasons of wishing to avoid a tie. One and three are the most common numbers of arbitrators. The disputing parties hand over their power to decide the dispute to the arbitrator(s). Arbitration is an alternative to court action (litigation), and generally, just as final and binding (unlike mediation, negotiation and conciliation which are non-binding).
General principles of arbitration are as follows:
The object of arbitration is to obtain a fair resolution of disputes by an impartial third party without unnecessary expense or delay.
Parties should be free to agree how their disputes are resolved, subject only to such safeguards as are necessary in the public interest.
Courts should not interfere.

It is entirely the issue, I am adamantly against the idea of letting corporations form miniature governments, law and rules that will dictate the terms of the world around me. Kings enslaved entire countries with money and an idea... it is the condensation of private power that I am against, the influence,the size and nature of a corporation. Mindless, a corporation's goal as a concept, is to CONDENSE market share turn profit - gain influence - turn profit, influence, expand market share, profit, invested into influence, repeat.. there is one goal besides the obvious goal, money. This is influence... the ability to create a self servicing system. As a human being you are missing a very key component to your perspective of this place we live in called Earth. There are animal laws that take hold of mankind as a mater of nature. The idea of a leader, leadership, being lead or controlled is not born of public or private distinction, it is born of money, 1st, 1# way, most important factor into creating influence on this Earth. Adam Smith himself seemed to believe that our system needed to be paired with ethics or in order to function properly, the problem is ethics can be hard to come by in a corporate setting, where you are LEGALLY protected from your concept's(companies') actions. If you benefit from something you re not going to impede that benefit and if you cannot be questioned or impeded what is to stop a company from trying to replace government? They are the same in structure, they are mindless, clumsy and dangerous.
At the end of the day, I think I recognize something that you do not, you may not being conscious of the specific
things that I comprehend, like a radio turned to a different dial. I am sure you and Paul have some correct ideas,
but I just as sure that the ideas that you believe, will repel corporation and corporatocracy are very ill conceived.
They are so weak and impotent in fact, it strikes me as almost insulting, I try not to be insulted...
Tell me, in all the contracts you have signed or entered into - (including using this web-site) - can you quantify what (per cent, percent) of words have you contributed to the total words in all the contracts?
Like for ATS, did have any say on terms of your condition here? It was one way or no way.
Go use Google... same thing
Now buy something on Ebay... did you get to enumerate anything into any of the three contracts beside acquiesce or resistance?
You know when I drive I am bound to a contract to the people who, leverage me out of a mishap.
When I buy a song, I have to obey by certain terms which are, again controlled by yet another.
I access my money, there are terms in using the machine or the teller, rules I do not control.
A teller freezes my account, tough crap Janky, Cable company goes out, do I get to recuperate money? no
I but I can find 5 contracts you entered into today... you know what... you are entered into 4 right now as you read this
the contract associated with your operating system
your ISP
the Browser your are using to access the internet
and your participation on this thread, ATS
Those contracts intersect with other contracts too...
that is three pieces of private law that are designed, by nature of a good contract and lawyer, to remove your, NeroSlam's, legal rights from you. DID YOU HAVE ANY INPUT into the body of those enumerations? what percent was your input today? Was there a reasonable method available for you to challenge any of it?
one sided, contractually obligatory situations everywhere, all corporate in nature, you are clearly not paying attention.
eat the whole bowl of shyza or go hungry.
.
And yet you don't support getting rid of these protections
No, you don't want to end the benefits, how can you ensure something is implemented if you apply complete passivity to the contract? In otherwords, you have no real viable way for people to address or impede corporate dominance in this world. You don't want to DO anything, you want to give them less rules and guidelines than a person driving a car. Everything from baking a cake to brain-surgery have common sense considerations that are vital to the outcome, some of those are put into law to signify the threshold of a crime. You and Paul seem to think, historically corrupt and devious constructs are going to become vitreous because they (the corporations) are more free to do anything they want? Would letting murderer be free of laws, heal his sickness, or curb his impulses?
No,
the idea is nonsensical.
I believe that everyone living on the gulf coast has been harmed by the BP spill, so my statement stands, or did you not read "everyone in the gulf"?
Can you prove that BP will give people cancer???
Does that mean B.P's irresponsible action will not cause cancer???

How cute. Illegal immigrants are telling us how THEY feel the country should be run. It's not enough that our taxes go to fund welfare and other programs for these people and their rotten children. No, now you have to go and offer your advice on what our policies and practices should be because hey, America could benefit from operating like Mexico! We're just not running ourselves hard enough into the ground! While we're at it, let's fuse the two countries together and call it Mexerica! Yeah!! First Latino American President as well!

Actually what I'm advocating is de-regulation by government. There are free market solutions to everything government does.

No idea how you presumed I was illegal but you're rant shows you make a lot of assumptions about other people.
So you're not exactly very healthy, or have you had too much to drink?
I'm not illegal, I'm not even from Mexico : /edit on 5-8-2011 by nusnus because: (no reason given)

What is the free market solution to Fukushima?
The proper regulatory solution would have been requiring proper contingencies to be in place, PRIOR to
operation of a massive, potential, nuclear bomb. That is the complete opposite of what you and Paul are advocating, it is also intelligent, doable, possible and completely in line with sanity. The free market solution to
Fukushima is nothing, problem DONE, finished, no recourse... Will the thousands and thousands of Women who lose babies be able to prove or prosecute infanticide caused by this mess?How about the countless future cancer victims? Who pays for that, Why do "they" pay for that? Answer; because it is happening to them and the corporation can deny and diminish or eliminate recourse through legal manners.
Again this is so basic I can't believe I feel the need to explain the basic functions of this idea put into motion.
Many of your market solutions = NO REAL SOLUTION once the equation is worked through.
How many of us are seeing this same dynamic on this thread??? You are not, I can't understand why, but
you are woefully ignoring valid things that have been laid out for you in a few different manners.

I would appreciate you not putting words in my mouth. Your arguments keep jumping back to use the current system to prove your point, when in fact its the cause of the problem. By eliminating the government regulations that allow this stuff to happen, you in fact open the door to whole new levels of responsibility. I have given the recourse in a free market, and while you don't actually address anything I have said, you continue to argue as if the free market is what we have now.
I do not need to experience be shot in the face to understand many things about being shot in the face.
I can tell you two hundred things about being shot in the face having never been shot in the face before.
I am not speaking magic or Korean, I not sure what world you are referring to? Responsibility
You mean getting shafted and accepting it? really man???
Your own avatar has the word anarchy in it, yet you are unable to extrapolate oligarchy from the same situation?
Responsibilty
I don' think you are dumb, I know very smart people who agree with you...

I will ask you again, how many contract did you enter into today
How many terms, aside from, yes/accept or no/decline, did negotiate in your behalf?
List three HERE; legal terms you stipulated today...right here
if your idea is workable some portion of it should work organically, let us see, prove to us that you even have
a legal voice in the current, muffled corporate surroundings. Proof on concept isn't asking to much is it?
Show me 4+4=8

Very true, when you remove the individuals right to life liberty and property you get an oligarchy.

I want you to answer my questions so that you recognize you are missing vital points of logic in your

Go ahead and ask me any question you have, anything you think will diminish my argument, ask it.
I would rather you be independent and learn to think beyond Paul, Obama or Reagan

What exactly makes you think I even support Dr. Paul, Mr. Obama or even his holiness Mr. Reagan.
Please tell me, how far does a contingency plan need to go? Does a nuclear plant need to plan for an interplanetary invasion? In a free market system, one where there is no "government granted monopolies" then reputation as well as liability becomes the status quo. Yes, it is about the dollar, currently, risk assessment is based upon government limited responsibility, not upon the individual making the decision being held accountable. In a real free market system, where the individuals rights are sacrosanct everyone is accountable.
You mention contracts and terms and agreements, and you are right, they are one sided, however I have complete control over them. I can say yes or no, I have turned down both contracts and EULA's. I don't use ebay, i dont care for their getting in bed with government. My OS and browser are open sourced, i made that choice in the early 90's. I refuse to use any product from the two "big boys". I made the choice of my phone based upon my beliefs.
I will tell you there is one contract I wish i never signed, and that was the one that made me a member of the US Army. altho, doing that has led me down the path I now follow.

When individual rights are sacrosanct... you know how vague that is? That is you trying to hide away the
fallacy in your argument. you are building a cocoon and hiding it in there. I could say when things are better,
flowers will be respected. When people are honest, people will be treated fairly.
Life is what happens when you busy making other plans... What about the world we live in here, today?
Have you noticed that several of us are saying the same thing to you?
