The irony is that this is exactly what investors demanded. Both institutional and private investors demanded unsustainable profit levels in order to inflate portfolio values. Now they are crying because they feel that they have been cheated. They wanted a magic show, they got the smoke and mirrors that they asked for.
Let me make sure I understand this. There is a still that belongs to someone named dumb and you are pointing out this still to that person. Shouldn't that be "your still, dumb"?
uhhh 15 days vacation + 8 paid holidays + 10/80 flex time (put in 80 hours over 10 work days, how you do it is between you and your direct report). Oh, and yes, that is the starting vacation time, tack on an extra week every... 4 or 5 years I think. With the flex time you can schedule your time so that you can flex around personal business without having to take vacation time. Welcome to America.
After the Brits failed, in 1947 the General Assembly of the United Nations voted to establish a Jewish State. It was the UN, having to clean up one of the first post-colonial messes (and just one of many such failures), not the US and the first country to recognize the Jewish State.... the USSR. I suppose that you are right about the Karma thing, since Israel is an international creation, I guess it is only fitting that more then half of those killed were not Americans.
It is understandable that the Palestinians are mad enough to kill. However, their plight has its roots in two places. First is British colonialism and the failure of its post-colonial policies. The second is Arab aggression against Israel. That is where they should direct their grudge. Blowing up a pool hall full of teenagers is not an appropriate reponse to having a military commander assassinated. Look, if the PFLP, Hammas, Islamic Jihad, ect. limited their activities to military targets in the occupied territories my guess is that American public opinion would be far less supportive of Israel. Particulary if the wealthy arab countires spent some of their money on a media and political lobbying campaign. Unfortunatly, it may be too late, the Israelies will wipe out the Palestinians and the world will stand by: America, because it rightfully views arabs as enemies; Europe, because it values security over freedom; Arabs, because they are afraid. Sorry, it would have been nice if everything worked out.
No actually the Brits are directly responsible for what is going on. They are also responsible for Kuwait, Saudia Arabia, Lebennon, India and Pakistan. The French are responsible for the mess west of there in North Africa.
.. it's an entirely different thing if you spill a scolding hot beverage on yourself
Maybe that was what the punitive damages were for, mental anguish from being scolded by a cup of coffee. Now I know what they mean when they say "they make a mean cup of coffee"
No, actually it is the repulsive combination of French arrogance and cowardice that brings out the worst in us. You make no sacrifice but then feel that you have the right to authority. See France's failed attempts to regain their pre WWII colonial empire (leaving the US holding the bag after the morons retreated into a valley), after we left so many bodies at Normandy (note to Brits and Canadians - We know you sacrificed as well and the Russians who may be reading - You sacrificed more then all) and they left so few dead at Maginot(sp). Notice now how the French feel they have the right to whine about American "Unilateralism" in Afganistan after making no effort to assist. Here is a clue, you make no sacrifice, you have no say. Before you go spouting any crap about the French helping us gain our independence. You only entered the war once it becme clear that we were going to win (After the battle of Lake Champlaign (sp), iirc).
IIRC... and it has been quite sometime since I took a neurobiology class... Sexual preference is partially determined by the amount of estrogen in the womb. Something along the lines of the estrogen is converted to testosterone and that effects the genetic expression. Also, again IIRC, the MRI's, of a region of the brain which I do not remember off the top of my head, homosexual men resemble those of heterosexual women and those of homosexual women resemble those of heterosexual men. I belive the title of the book we used was Physiology of Behavior. To go back on topic, I guess my question is what kind early childhood interation did these families engage in?

It was called Lend-Lease and it was never payed back....
oh yeah, here we fucking go again with your bullshit numbers and don't point back to that crap webpage either, as it seems to have just pulled those numbers out of thin air.
Ummm... no, if you are too stupid to see the difference between blowing up a bus load of children or detonating a car bomb in a shopping district and organized military resistance then you are a pathetic loser. By the way a coward is not to cowardly to kill, they just won't do it in such a way that they themselves may be killed.
Here is a quote I found at http://www.uboat.net/allies/documents/lend-lease.h tm:
When the war had ended the Lend-Lease programme had extended over $41 billion in aid to more than 40 nations (some sources say the aid was as high as $50 billion). Britiain got the biggest share or roughly $30 billion and the Soviets about $11 billion. China got $1 billion.
Less than $10 billion of that aid was ever repaid, making this appear more like the donation and support it really was.
>Who didnt get into the war until AFTER they where attacked?
We were keeping England fed, fueled, and armed well before Pearl Harbor.
As for who didn't get involved... well England, France and the rest of Europe sure didn't mind serving up parts of Europe to Hitler on a silver platter. "Peace in out time" what a joke.
> Canada comes to mind here
Wasn't Canada still part of the Commonwealth at this time? I think the Aussies were involved to for he same reason.
> They might have helped with some things
!!might!! have helped???. The Marshal Plan rebuilt Europe. It did for post-war Europe what FDR did for war-time England. Who risked a war to keep Berlin alive? I suggest reading up on the Berlin Airlift. So who else could have been rebuilding Europe? The French? NO! They were trying to regain their colonial holdings. England? Wrong again, they were just plain exhausted and on an unfortunate downward socialist spiral that would eventually crater their economy. Spain? Nope, Denmark? No, Belgium? Holland? Sweden? How about none of the above.
> You pussies in the states dont do anything until something you hold is under threat
Well, I suppose we could act against any potential threat. Nuke Canada and Mexico, since they are geographically positioned for invasion. Bomb England, France, and Spain just in case they ever think about think about becomeing empires again. Ditto for Germany since history tells us they are a bunch war-mongers, best put them down before they can get us. That is a brilliant idea.
>its only my oppinion anyway and you cant change that.
A poorly reasoned opinion.
> I doubt there are many low-level air patrols in the South Atlantic.
True, but you don't need a low-level air patrol. There are a number of US (and I'm sure other countries) space-based sensor platforms that can detect, track, and monitor the movement of radioactive materials. How sensitive these sensors are was well outside my level of clearence. However, they do exist.

It has nothing to do with customer service. It has to do with the custome, Jon Katz. Even CS reps hate him.
