    by refusing cash, alot of people will be unable to buy. i know alot of people around my area who deal in junk, and none of them have credit cards, few have a bank account. and hows that going to deter theft? sounds to me that it would cause theft, cause you gotta pay for the gas to go outta state to sell your metal then. their driving every 'junker' outta business.

  6. a proportional tax on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 0

    why not just end the federal reserve, stop income tax completely, and increase sales tax a slight bit? that would prove to be the income needed, only 2 trillion? end the proportional tax, stop income tax. then no one can complain how the rich don't have to pay as much tax ect ect ect. congress has the right to print money, but they do not use this right. hell, we could then borrow money from ourselves, interest free. as it is now, we pay 20 billion a year in interest, to a pvt bank. without that bank, tehre would be no income tax. without income tax, and congress printing money, the econemy would still grow, just wouldnt have the massive inflation we are used to. a dollar today is worth 99 cent tomorrow.

  10. Re:An episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit says on Measles Resurgent Due To Fear of Vaccination · · Score: 0

    i have to agree, but still question the underlining objectives of the vaccinations. the rum n coke analogy makes some kinda sense, but all in all, the vaccinations are not good. what they protect from are not good either.
    whats in a vaccination isn't explained anywhere, it shows what it protects against, but not whats in it.
    if mercury was taken out, no reason to disbelieve you, it was after i turned off the tv 10 years ago.
    from what i remember, what i was told in school, the measles were so bad because they killed about 1 in 10000 and disfigured a buncha people. chicken pox is being vaccinated for because it causes you to itch, and kills 1 in 100 000 that do not seek medical attention.
    i don't think i should have to have take that risk because someone doesn't want to seek medical attention when their deathly ill.
    and also because medical science hasn't found a link does not mean one doesn't exists. it simply means that one hasn't been found with enough evidence to convince the people at the head to say its true. sorta like rocks falling from the sky was scientifically unfounded till the 19th century.
    well, enough is enough. i think there's more to it and it needs to be questions and scrutinized. even if there isnt anything more to it, if it isn't looked at and watched carefully, something will be added to it.
    that and i have to leave for work.
    you - vaccination is fine
    me - its acceptable, maybe...but has to be watched

  11. Re:An episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit says on Measles Resurgent Due To Fear of Vaccination · · Score: 0

    you know how a vaccination works? you inject the actual living, but weakened disease into the mark. the antibodies are made by the marks immune system. please explain where mercury comes into play. not only where it comes in, by why it was increased 5 fold when people started to complain that it was there in the late 90's. and it isnt 100% effective...yes, some people even get chicken pox 2 times. but i don't think that should be included in the cocktail of vaccinations either. many diseases are bad, but the vaccinations themselves are not good. i think perhaps you yourself needs to do some research and find out exactly how not good. that penn and teller episode mentioned in this thread was a good shot, but did not fully explain the results, would take more than an hour. dr tenpenny has a good docu about whats in the needle also. so, toxic amounts of mercury, that might cause autism, and more likely determines how the brain develops (have you ever seen mercury touch brain matter? i think there's a YouTube vid on it), or run the chance of getting sick. if the vaccination worked, then no one else would have to worry. if the vaccinations were that important, you would not be given the choice. i keep wondering how much smarter i might be if i wasn't injected with near lethal doses of mercury 3 times when i was a kid....but then again, if i was the ruler of a people, i would not want but a few smarter than me, a few that could be controlled. but when the entire society is smarter than the ruler, there's a something going to happen

  13. Re:Will it make a difference? on House Websites Jammed After Obama Debt Speech · · Score: 0

    what would you do? pay down the national debt?
    sounds nice, but what it would do is increase the value of dollars in circulation, and decrease the amount of them. when the debt is totally paid off there will only be 1 dollar left. this is a debt based economy. learn about it.
    the govt spending, in some cases, is rather absurd. in most cases, its needed. lately tho, too many people are making loans on the govts behalf.
    but then again, it matters not what we do, it matters the song and dance they give us. thier going to rewrite this constitution in a hurry. woops, it needs to be ammended now. so their gonna have to rewrite it again and again, each time adding something else and changing something else. i cant wait till they put fences up around the cities, you know, too keep out the homeless, tho the barbed wire will be facing in....

    i understand this, but only 1 senor is reading this, and that happens to be on as sinking island. the antarctic is also melting, and its over land, but to my understanding, that land is over a mile under what would be water if it were not all frozen. the sea level will rise, and it might even go a bit faster in time. but id wager that its the sea floors changing more than the ice melting. sorta like how its being done in the gulf. the sea floor has swollen 30 some feet since the 'leak' started there is too many things we cant find out.

    mujsic comes out, brand new cd is 25 bucks (even after the govt told the industry to lower the price, and they promiced tehy would, 25 years ago), and after 6 motn hs or so, the price becomes 16.99. and stays tehre, for eternity. i have seen 5 dollar bins at the music store, and its full of the batman soundtrack, nat king cole sings jingle bells, and other assorted novelties. perhaps they could take a pricing lesson from the movie industry. you know, lower the price. if the amount of sales measure into someone being in the top 40, wouldnt it be a good idea to let th e masses buy thier album instead of watching your profits slouch?

    if i owned a company that sold Gizmo. and the price of the Gizmo stayed basically the same for 30-40 years, accounting inflation n all. then suddenly people found they could get Gizmo for FREE! at my expence. i wouldnt blame them. however the version thier getting is a much less sound quality. so i only have to look at what i have, a better product with better quality. maybe if i lowered my price people would buy Gizmo again, and not get it for free. cuase its something bout the item in hand that makes oine feel that tehy own it. i know, id lower the price! maybe afters its been out a while id let it for for only a few dollars. i dont see the need of charging 17 dollars for a 40 year old gizmo when a new one is 17.
