Documented? I can document that I eat 0 calories a day. Of course that doesn't include the seven cakes I eat every meal, but they don't count really because I don't sit at a table to eat them.
Sorry, but it just bugs me when everyone claims it gives us more daylight. DST should be abolished altogether.
Yeah it's dreadful, all that energy saving, safer driving, more time in the daylight after work, that really sucks doesn't it? I'm sure it'd be much easier to get a million companies and a million schools to all agree to change their hours, wouldn't it? Cos that's really going to happen.
Factories in the Midwest, like mine, start their employees 2-3 hours earlier in the summer so they can avoid the heat of the day.
So what happens when the next shift comes in during the heat of the day?
But how much time did he spend researching, ordering, and installing this fridge, that could more productively have been spent lying in his own sick draining a bottle of turps?
He's right, it's our job to determine the best product for a given task given budget constraints, resources available, etc. But once we determine the best product, how can we NOT advocate it?
The problem is, it often works the other way round. Someone decides Linux is awesome, then looks for reasons to justify that viewpoint.
If one person gives something to someone else, that's income. If you can work all day for money and pay tax on it, why should you be able to receive money for nothing but not pay tax on it? That's completely backwards.
A reasonable limit allows children to keep running small businesses instead of liquidating them to pay taxes.
Why should they be able to receive a free business without paying tax on it?
How do you know how much people are spending? If you cut you're spending then the government will effectively be paying you for nothing. If the poor aren't paying any tax then where is the deficit made up?
This system is no better than income tax, but it's more complicated and more open to abuse and failure.
The final downfall is that it means everyone is effectively reliant on government welfare to survive. But I suppose that's what they want...
Some are. I really do not like that the way I learned to work (picking strawberries, cane berries, and doing landscaping) will not be available to my son because a bunch of illegal immigrants took all of those jobs long ago.
Why does your son have more of a right to pick berries than a Mexican? Because he was lucky enough to be born on the right patch of dirt?
I say we should be disbanding any corportion that doesn't have, as a part of it's charter, a duty to support the citizens of the country that is granting it incorporation papers.
Great, then American companies all shut down and move abroad. Then you can pick from the few remaining American jobs: toilet cleaning, shelf stacking and burger flipping.
I don't know why Americans think that companies owe them a living.
I think it would be more efficient if the people who go to the gym instead would just put on a pair of running shoes and would not have to exercise in a room that had not to be lit and heated for the purpose of them having a place to exercise.
What about the energy generated by the ambulance after you're mugged, beaten or run over?
Outdoor running isn't a very effective exercise, you can't go very fast in case you run into someone, and you're still going to have to go to the gym anyway for the weights.
Western European nations are in the process of shedding off more population then they can afford to dump due to low population growth and low immigration.
Low immigration? The issue in Western Europe today is that there's too much immigration.

Yeah, sickening, a company offering a service in exchange for profits. Disgusting, money moving around like this really damages the economy.
Bullshit. Most people walk home from the pub.

Can this thread possibly see any more stereotypes, cliches and broad generalisations?
Rubbish. Since when does a question mark look like an 'a'?
Synergy, networking, bouncing ideas, you mean this bus would just be filled with people spouting buzzwords? Better to walk...
Don't know what Kilkenny is, Boddingtons is yellow water, Tennants is similar, but for pisshead sweaties. The best beer comes in casks.
No, his machine is made to throw beer, not rape strippers and play girls sports.
No, good beer comes in 9 gallon barrels. Somehow I can't see a fridge throwing one of those across the room, and I don't want to see it either.

OK, so American is going to isolate itself from world trade? Oh wait it's that old troll, I don't know why I bothered replying.

What's Wasabi?
It may survive the pressure, but will it survive the rest of the plane smashing through it?
