They had three iphones?
Which they took with them on a Caribbean vacation cruise?
Fuck 'Em.
If they're content to waste an average man's yearly earnings on two weeks of R&R, let them ride that bill all the way. Hopefully they'll learn a lesson about rampant consumerism and choose to live a simpler lifestyle.
Can we please stop-stop-stop talking about computers are educational devices? I think this is a ploy initiated by Compaq/HP/etc in order to sell more and more computers.
I have come to the opinion that while a computer is only necessary for word processing and spreadsheeting. All these schools are really doing is shifting the blame for poor performance back a few years - any parents continuously believe that well equipped computer labs actually indicate a better education.
Why does anyone hold on to these rules as sacrosanct? If you didn't like the rule requiring an XP expenditure for this-or-that, why not just disregard them? Why wait for a new book to purchase? Why not enable yourself?
For that matter, why ever use "D&D" in this age? I suspect that FUDGE is an effectively superior replacement. There's no reason why you can't steal the monsters, weapons, etc; from your favorite system and simply apply them to FUDGE?
This is a horrible idea.
The entire point of insurance is that everyone pays a more-or-less baseline amount and some people don't realize any of that value and some people realize more than they put in. Of course, now that Americans expect to realize 100% of any tax or insurance payments, and if even one penny goes to someone else, well, that's socialism!
Insurance is inherently socialist. That's why it's called INSURANCE. If you're expected to pay an equal amount to what you receive, you don't really have insurance, you're paying as you go.
