That's why I couched my statement with all those qualifiers...
Who knows what he might have done had he not been assassinated, but that he sponsored a coup in Vietnam is certainly a good sign of what his intentions were..
But your parent's figures show that the EU's GDP was already bigger, pre-expansion. I think he was taking issue over the "much" (whether 11 trillion was "much" larger than 10 trillion, or just plain larger.)
I agree. People need to get off their asses and march in the street if they want to have a "demonstration".
These close-your-website-in-protest are ridiculous and end up making your cause LESS well known and publicized. Hey, let's make a statement by hiding our ideas and not communicating with anyone for a few days!
Gee, I think I'll protest Bush's disasterous war on Iraq by taking down my antiwar website so no one knows my opinions about it.
Yes, but that's a one-time discharge of pollution. When you consider that the SUV's lifetime is 10 years or more, maybe an early messy death for the SUV is less pollution in the end. Though you may be right; it might be better to let the SUV drive for a year or so till it rolls over and is totalled.
One thing is clear; in America no one will walk. It will be too dangerous - if you aren't run over by an SUV, suffocated by smog, you'll collapse from a heart attack because you weigh 300 pounds and you're body can't take the exertion.
Save $250 a month? That would be stupid advice to anyone with credit card debt, because the interest on that debt is higher than the 12% they'd get from an IRA. But hey, having a running credit card balance is just a few lazy slothful folks who live beyond their means, right?
It cites no statistics or studies; it just throws out the number "24%".
Nowhere does it say this 24% "became wealthy simply due to hard work". It says that they "built wealth through hard work". That could just as well be someone who was already wealthy and "built wealth" through the "hard work" of hiring an investment bank to manage their already existing wealth.
"Lived below their means" a statement totally empty without context. What does that mean; that they never took out a loan to buy a house or pay for college?
"taking moderate risks" - see above; if you are wealthy, you're going to hire someone smarter than you to take care of your money for you.
Well, you have to remember that was back in the '80s when it was cool for Saddam to gas people just as long as he was killing as many Iranians as possible.
"Well, yes, but that determinism can be arbitrarily complex; causes may be very far removed from their effects."
I think Roger Penrose said something similar in "The Emperor's New Mind" about the universe - that is, it may be deterministic but that doesn't mean we can tell the future since the determinism is far too complex.

Kennedy was involved in helping start one of the major stompings of a smaller nation of the 20th century, known as the Vietnam War...
You mean besides when President Bush meets with the press?
I wonder what this proves..
actions speak louder than words, Sheldon. What browser do you use?
What about median income (Nigeria vs. South Africa)?
I stand corrected about the French participation in the no-fly zones (though France as well as Russia and others in the UN did not support the escalation of the bombing that took place in the 90's).
You didn't provide any citation for the no-fly zones having anything to do with the UN resolutions, however.
There was no UN forces enforcing the no-fly zone; those were American and British only. The no-fly zones had nothing to do with the UN Resolutions.
And then a year after the war is over, we'll find that there was no spam after all, only spam-related program activities.
Cool, so the troops will come home in a few days! That is great news.
Holy crap, this is amazing. You should patent this.
But your parent's figures show that the EU's GDP was already bigger, pre-expansion. I think he was taking issue over the "much" (whether 11 trillion was "much" larger than 10 trillion, or just plain larger.)
And it was uphill both ways!

beautiful!
You had editors? We had to write our web pages on notebooks and scan them in!

Not really a counter-example because the parent was talking about urban density, whereas you're talking about urban sprawl.

I guess you've never heard of the power of compounding?
Gosh, no, I haven't. Have you heard of the power of compounding credit card debt?
In soviet india, first they laugh at YOU!

Average households carry some $8,000 in credit card debt.
Regarding the "study" you linked to :
It cites no statistics or studies; it just throws out the number "24%".
Nowhere does it say this 24% "became wealthy simply due to hard work". It says that they "built wealth through hard work". That could just as well be someone who was already wealthy and "built wealth" through the "hard work" of hiring an investment bank to manage their already existing wealth.
"Lived below their means" a statement totally empty without context. What does that mean; that they never took out a loan to buy a house or pay for college?
