I'm sorry, but you've lost the plot. There IS no "link of certain assets". Define assets. Now define link. Your post is pure misdirection, verbal legerdemain. You didn't even bother to use proper grammar or punctuation.

But those things are not "pure abstraction". Governments are. The "divine right of kings to rule" is. Corporations are. If you are a lawyer working for Wal-Mart, even with your expensive legal education you will never be able to prove that "Wal-Mart" has hired you. You only have hearsay and secondhand information. That is my point. NO ONE has first hand information on a corporation, because in order to have such information, you would have to be able to speak directly to it, and you cant! There is no "horse's mouth" from which to get that information.
Just because something is an abstract idea it does not mean that it has to not exist. Many everyday things are considered abstract that you wouldn't say don't exist.

prove it logically.
owned, or rented, staff contractually working for the company,
Those things are mere colors on paper. Whence the substantive existence of the entity?
stock paid in full, liquid assets and shares, amongst other things.
You assumed I was intelligent enough to parse your badly-written non-sentence. Sorry. I have some skills, but gobbledegook isn't among them.
I didn't really think i'd need to actually spell out assets, I assumed you were intelligent enough to understand.
Yes, let's keep everyone at the LCD, shall we?
On another note, I didn't think my grammar was too bad, and i'm hardly going to be sorry for it's standard compared to many others atleast.
My whole point is that unless humanity puts common sense (that a small child can understand, as their bullsh** detectors are still intact) before its currently warped sense of practicality, there will be painful consequences.
As to having lost the plot, I don't quite see how this is so. I wasn't saying the whole of your arguement is wrong, infact I was actively ignoring the rest of it. I was just pointing out that to say these things don't exist is wrong in practical terms. You could say in a purely logical way the 'Corporation' doesn't exist and this would be true, but it's not the way the world works or how language works to explain these terms.
Your daughters went to a building purported to belong to an entity the existence of which cannot be proven. That may seem to you to be a small difference, but it's the difference between a unicorn and a horse.

And you are expecting your snarky remark to accomplish exactly what? You know full well that I'm not talking about buildings or physical objects of any kind. Why are you setting up a strawman? Is it that my point hits too close to home for your comfort, and you feel the need to ridicule it?
I am going to drive by one of their many stores this morning, just to check if it is still there.
And I explained what that building is. You obviously ignore that fact, and so try to heap dung upon the truth. Bad form, kiddo!
I've seen the UN Building from the outside, but I didn't go inside, so I suppose that it is possible that it's a huge holographic projection.
Isn't that convenient? You get to absolve yourself from the responsibility you have to yourself and your children to call a spade a spade. Gosh, it's so easy being an infant. That's why humankind have the NWO breathing down their collective neck.
As far as the US Govt goes, it takes enough money from my paycheck each week that I am going to have to go with.... It's real.
just about to take your great advice and go to a different thread but first must say the op is rude and has hang ups about grammar etc.so i thought i'll write this with no capitals etc. just to annoy him!(or am i on my droid and can't be bothered to?)

wal-mart exists, i was just there today, the u.s. exists, we bully people all the time, what doesn't exist is any shred of common sense in what the OP wrote, if you've read this far then stop and click out of this thread, its rubbish

And you have done what? Since you blame me from absolving myself, what is it that you do that has caused any change in this system?
