By your view, I think, nothing should be taxed once you pay for it.
No, many things are fine to tax, like I don't mind registration on my car. BUt a Home/Property is different in my mind then a car. A car is luxury, a home is nessecity.

How do you add sales tax?
Add Sales tax to things they way it is added now. I don't have a problem with sales tax, jsut property taxes.
How do you have tax on anything?
Just liek you do now. Tax things as they are currently taxed, just don't tax someones home after they own it.
Can't pay the taxes, have it reassessed according to current market conditions. Still can't pay them, sell the place / land / etc. and move on.
This is the exact reason I dislike the property tax. You don't own your home/Property. If you fail to pay your taxes on it, the government can evict you. You are simply leasing the home/property from the Government.
Once someone owns a home/property, they should own it, end of story. It should be theirs and unless they choose to sell it, they should continue to own it.
It would seem that we are in agreement on everything except for that I don't think someone should have thier home/property taxed.
Why do you feel that someone's Home/Property should be taxed?
I know I feel that it should not be taxed because once they "own" it, it should be theirs and they should not be put into a position that they have to constantly pay for it or lose it to the government. To me, that makes it as if you are leasing it from the government. I think people should be secure in knowing that they own their home/property.
I Personally do not think that the governemnt should be able to tax your property. By being able to do so you don't really own the property, you just own the right to lease it from the government.
IT's probably because the vast majority of people do not see the value in NASA. I'm not saying that NASA does not have value to it, but the perception of the public is that it is a waste of public money.
Funny that people complain about his writing style, but he's one of the few authors I enjoy. I really don't like to read. Most stories lose me fairly soon. However, WoT was so good that I read through the 10 book that were out when I started reading the series back to back in a little over a month.
Sure, he spends a lot of time describing things, but the world feels vivid and the story is actually entertaining.
When MySpace started out, you had to be over the age of 18 to sign up (or lie about your age). So, there is a good portion of people on MySpace that were there before the teen revolution.
Their service is not for people with the knowledge, and intelligence, to do it themselves. It's for the people who would have no clue on how to find someone they lost contact with. There happens to be a lot more people like that then like you in the world.
I have not bothered to look for he quote, but I remember Jordan sayign that all fo the story lines are not going to be wrapped up at the end of the series.
I personally feel that he made a wonderfully detailed world that had more going on in it then every character focused on one single point. I'd rather have one really good series then several smaller series with much less defined worlds.
Ohh how I wish 100 pages = 1 hours. Each book being a 6-12 hours movie! at least they would have the time to do it right and not cut it to shreds.
Hell, I'd be happy if every book was at 3 hours movie. I'm afraid they are going ot cut it down to 2 hours a book, or worse, combine multiple books into one movie!
Total prevention is impossible. Drug users will always exist. However, Just in the interest of saving society as a whole money, would it be better to spend millions/billions on a police force and jails to make the drug illegal or spend the money required to make the drug available for free in a monitored situation, removing the need to comit a crime to obtain the drug?
"Still the reason drug users are looked down upon is because 90% of drug dealers are nefarious and commit other crimes as well."
Chicken or the egg situation. Sure, it is that way now, but that is probably because if you break one law, you will probably break another.
Would the situation be the same if you did not have to break a law to sell drugs in the first place?
I would be willing to bet that during prohibition that 90% of alcohol sellers were "nefarious and commit[ed] other crimes as well". However, now that it is legal to sell alcohol, I'd also be willing to be that most of them are not.
The difference is that you sent those messages from your phone to her phone, in real time. If you would have taken the pictures with a camera, they would not have gotten to her for hours, if not days, and probably not until you were already home. You paid for convinces. BTW, for $5-$10 a month you can get unlimited with most carriers in the US.

You can pretend liek they don't exist, but as a good geek, you have seen all of the movies listed.
eBooks
Isnt' the idea of the laptop that even more books then just textbooks can be delivered to the kids via the laptop.
In the same sense that the the Movie Troy was a dramatization of an actual battle
From the Player Handbook, yes. But they've added them back in through a supplement.

I never said I was against all taxes, just property taxes. Income taxes, Sales Tax, Etc., are all fine with me.

"She is nothing more than a prostitute who called the cops when her John refused to pay her after she provided a service."
See needs to get herself a Pimp. HE could handle that for her.
That's why you call the Lottery a "Stupid Tax"

IT wanted to be EQ, but they screwed up and made it fun!

Hmm.. 3 days.. Well, that is 72 hours. Can make quite a few movies to cover 72 hours.
There is a lot that goes on in those 3 days, and if the movies are going ot be any good, they need to cover all of the details.

Now that's an Anti-Virus software I'd pay for!
I don't know, but it was hilarious.
