Yeah me too. Found out my problem was not enough exercise. I've hit the workouts harder than I ever have in my life and its minimized the emotional pain. I just feel better in general.
Google Shaun T's Insanity workout. Guaranteed you cannot do it without 10 breaks.
This is trolling: Where's the sense of proportion? This was a mutual dealing between two people. It just so happens the guy receiving the favors has a vote in congress. Maybe there's something here, but its like fixing a scratch on the wall in a mobile home.
Compare this against what's happening with taxpayer dollars; Trillions of dollars going from my and your pockets directly into shady Banks, who will lose our money just like they lost their own.
Hollywood can do anything they want. Full auto machine guns, that's ok. Explosions rocking whole towns, that's ok. But if you or I did it, we'd be facing jail time.
"I'm not denying the existence of Foundational rhetoric purporting a right to bear arms as a check against tyranny. But as a practical matter, it was about slavery. Quite ironic, actually."
Talk about rewriting history! You need to do a little research on George Mason, the father of the bill of rights. His stance on gun ownership and the role of government is not a secret. The constitution he wrote in virgina became the bill of rights, and #2 on the list was gun rights.
Eat your own poison, liberals. Obama comes after our guns, you liberals sit there and call us nuts. He goes after talk radio, you say "its all about fairness and equal time". He taxes rich people and you say "good, they make too much anyways".
Then when he comes after your issues, you flip. Now I say "who cares" to your issue. I hope the RIAA wins and wins big. 95% of you on here voted for this guy. Deal with it.
Get with the program guys, this is what this guy does.
Liberal: Those conservatives have more than enough X, they'll be perfect for digging ditches. All in favor of having the conservatives do the ditch, vote Yes on Flood Prevention for the Children
You're so far off I don't even know where to start. Conservatives do not want a bigger government. Only big military.
I'd suggest lessons in economics and some good ol debate. I'm sorry to be so crass. Its not your fault you have these whacked ideas, you're just spitting back what you've been taught.
Conservatives believe in limited government. We believe each person is just and good and if government removes the shackles of its constrictive laws, that person would do better. The greatness of this country is from the hard work of the people all across the fruited plains. Not from some government program giving a handout. Everything great has come from each person, and government can only get in the way (besides infrastructure and military).
People should be self sufficient. Why should my neighbor pay for my retirement? I'm sure my neighbor has enough to focus on besides trying to make enough to support everyone else. I'm 27 and I have a brokerage account and $32k in it for retirement. Its next to nothing compared to many people on this board, but i'm trying. I won't depend on any of you guys, because you all have enough to do without having to put down for my life retirement. I save, constantly. Everyone around me in this liberal state spends every cent they have and some. They bought houses they can't afford. Their credit cards spill over each month, they buy at convience instead of value. They don't research any purchases. They just go to the store and buy. They buy little wasteful things now rather than save for something big.
Some liberals all around here eat way too much and then depend on medicaid when they can't even get out of the house. Conservatives go jogging to keep healthy to avoid such burden. My mom is a social worker, classic liberalism. All they do is cart the person around so they can buy their ten 12pks of Pepsi and fifteen lotto tickets. They never get out of the system, the system doesn't even want them to. I'll debate anyone for hours on this as I've seen it firsthand my entire life. I grew up on a family farm where my dad works from 3:30am to 6:30 at night. For $40k a year. Then our trailer trash neighbors, completely taken care of by the state, out of 12 people, 2 actually work, they buy new trucks (two 2006 silverados), bigscreens (it barely fits inside their trailer), computers (it was accidently delivered to our house), satellite dishes, swans food delivery, four wheelers galore, and they're all 300lbs and horrible to deal with. This is what liberalism does. Meanwhile my dad works himself to the bone to support it.
What's government for? Infrastructure and protection. Money well spent. If money is being spent on what its supposed to be for, I don't have a problem.
Government was never designed for wealth transfer, which is the core of your liberalism. Thats why NY wants to tax, to transfer it to someone else and get their votes. Follow the money.
And Bush isn't a real conservative. Gun control, education, spending, are some of the issues. Ron Paul reminds me of Pat Buchannon (sp?). Wants to build a wall around America and ignore the rest of the world. I agree with him much of the time but less than a lot of other people. Other conservatives feel like that too which should answer your question.
"Consider Bush: IQ of about 4, and yet staggeringly effective at pushing his culture of greed, terror, ignorance, and whatnot"
Greed? What's greedy is liberals like you can't get people to donate money to your causes, so you use the political system to steal money for you. I work hard for my money, you do not. If i want to give you money, its my perogative. Unless your a liberal, then you make a law to get money for you.
Terror? Have we been hit by terror since 9/11? Why is it that Osama bin laden is pressing for Obama to win the white house? You're against the iraq war i'm sure, do you remember the inspectors being booted left and right and the security resolution after security resolution calling for their reinstatement or consqeuences?
Ignorance? I can't argue here. Bush definitely isn't albert einstein, but he has a good heart and is making it his life mission to keep this country safe and sound.
All that aside, I don't like Bush. I disagree with him on letting kennedy write the education bill, border security, assault weapons ban he said he'd sign if it got to his desk, harriet myers, mccain feingold, and some other stuff I can't think of. Domestically, he's not been a stellar conservative (though he didn't run as one)
What're you gonna defend Tony Rezco now? NOBODY in the obama camp can talk houses with the shady deals Obama's done. Got a piece of property right next to his house well below market value from a convicted felon.
Nobody cares because you're all in the tank for obama.
He is: -making more trips to the gas station, thus also burning fuel (even if its just on his route, that's still thousands more milliseconds the injectors are spraying... summed up over time).
-losing a little from vapor and drip when he pumps it in
-wearing on his starter by adding another start cycle to it.
-losing time (like me right now).
-lugging around extra fuel which weighs a significant amount.
None is really significant, but it just proves he's not really gaining from it.
A government can pass all the laws they want. It doesn't mean they will be followed. Good men can be made criminals when legislaters pass their laws. "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."
Call me a criminal, but I do what is just and right. If it comes between following a law and saving my families life...
If you're not conviced, do a search on lives saved by guns. Some of the stories make me want to cry. Like the one where a burgler broke in, made the wife and husband lie next to each other on their bed. Shot the wife in the head and let the husband live on purpose. Probably the saddest story i've ever read.
There are A LOT of arguments out there against copyright and patents[...]
Free market is how I roll. If I make a product and sell it to someone, and they turn around and copy the shit out of it and give it freely to anyone, then its MY fault for not finding a way to satisfy the customer base.
What does the recording industry really lose when someone copies their music? NOTHING. Unless they owned some of the fiber line the music ran over, then they had to pay $.00000000001 to continue the packets. Though in reality they were probably paying a fixed cost for the fiber and ended up losing nothing. Unless the line was at 100% usage, so their latency might have been increased by 20ms because of someone downloading a song.
I do not dispute at all that the industry did not gain revenue from. Was there lost revenue? NO. Not gaining is different from losing.
Its just like the democrats crying about "Cuts" in the federal budget. There are no cuts, there are only reductions in the rate of increases (ok, maybe there's a couple, but not like they're being protrayed).
I aggree. How can anyone defend this? Clearly her intent was to "Cry wolf"
In the future this will only place doubt into the minds of police officers trying to prevent mass carnage. "Is that person with a bomb on their waist just a student making a political statement?"
Right. Drug users are after a certain molarity, or # of moles, if you really want to get scientific. Every drug has its sweet spot where it feels good. Too much or too little and "whats the point".
Pot smokers are after the highest % of THC (and the rest of what gets you high). Why? Higher dose hits equates to less hits. If you've ever smoked out of a pipe, you know less=better (it burns your throat).
Not that I know anything about this kind of stuff;)
Bush doesn't care about his lack of popularity as he's already accomplished most of his goals.
I would go so far as to say Bush's low popularity numbers reflect on how much conviction he has. He operates under beliefs, not by raising his finger in the air and seeing which way the wind is blowing (IE Dems on Iraq).
What's going to happen when we beat the terrorists in Iraq? What are the cowering, wimpering, cut and run democrats going to do then?
Back 20,000 years ago there was no health care system. If you got a cut you could die. So what did people do? Be careful.
Humans are controlled by incentives. Make something free and guess what happens.
I work with 100 people or so and I'd say that 5% of them are in good physical shape. Why? Because they have no reason to be in good shape. Being in good shape has a cost, time and effort. Why get in good shape when the health care system will simply give you "proper medication" as another poster stated?
No, you can't fix 100% of the problems with exercise and good diet. There's diseases that need medical attention. But just look around, just about everyone is overweight, fat, and eats poor.
My grandfather was out of shape, drank a lot, and was overweight. He then had a heart attack at age 50. He'd never run before in his life and knew he had to change. After the heart attack he ran 8 complete NYC marathons in his 60s,70s and 80s. He had 7 heart attacks later on in his life and perservered through every one of them. Nobody thought he'd live past his 60s. His health only started to go when his back was too painful to allow him to run daily. He passed away at age 84. The doctors said it was a miracle that he fought his way through such heart problems. I know it wasn't a miracle. Al knew the importance of exercise and living healthy.
I wouldn't say the two are really the same. I work for an outdoor power equipment manufacturer and we outsource all the part fabrication. Our engineers draw up all the prints and other companies produce the part, much like AMD is thinking of doing.
But, like any outsourcing, how do you know the quality of what is being sent out with your name slapped on it?
Our company would like to do it all, its just not capable of doing so as cheaply as others can. It all comes back to the margin.

Proof? It already happened. Man detonates 100lbs of Tannerite, nuclear power plant on alert after blast. Man faces charges for detonating a legal device.
Tannerite is a shooting target. Search youtube for videos of people detonating large amounts of it.
Show's again there's two standards. One for the "In" crowd like mythbusters, then one for the rest of us.

this should get at least a -4 flamebait rating.
3/4 of my time spent at work is personal. I research my project honda 250r, trade stocks, buy on craigslist.
I like my job. Then again I have a degree and I'm making about half of what my peers make.

Its the opposite of efficiency.
