People make money in pyramid schemes, this is nothing different. Expect a mini dot-com crash when the fad dies off and people have invested in effectively nothing.
Is it nicer to go to a place where you must fork over cash to do anything even after passing through the gate, or to go to an all expenses payed resort?
The former. With the latter, you've paid for things even if you don't want them, so you end up forcing yourself to use them, even if you don't really like them. You're effectively trapped there, you can't go anywhere else because you've paid for being there.
Not to mention all-inclusive resorts generally have the atmosphere of holiday camps.
Black is not 'cool'. A white background is like a serious book or a newspaper, a black background is like some 'l33t' site involving 'h4>0ring' and 'm4d w4r3z ftw'.
Maybe European companies don't think they're above the law. Maybe there's something in the American corporate mentality that makes them think they're special and can do anything without any consequences.
In real dollars. But those dollars can bring a much higher standard of living than in the past, even with more dollars. Therefore the poor are richer, even though they numerically have less money.
Eating less and exercising more does work. If it doesn't work for you, you were cheating, or just gave up. Funny how there were no obese people in the Nazi concentration camps? Maybe they were on Atkins.
Who do you think pays for the people who clean and maintain public parks? The tax payers, so in Maryland, all the people who don't use the park are paying for your fun. I hope for the sake of not being hypocrites, NJ charges for all public places.
All public areas need money to be kept clean, does that mean every single area you visit should charge? $5 to go to the park, $5 to go to the beach, $5 for a walk in the hills, $5 to walk down the street without litter everywhere etc.
What, rich people just let money sit in their pocket without doing anything with it? I think you'll find they invest it, or spend it. Worker income has not shrunk, it's in fact higher than ever. That is if you define income in terms of wealth, i.e. goods and services acquired, rather than numerical income.
Oh, I do. I absolutely do. If they weren't idiots, the war would be going better.
How the hell is it Cheney's fault if the Iraqis refuse to live peacefully together rather than blowing each other up? You can't blame American politicians for middle-eastern muslim infighting.
Iraq is like leading a herd of horses to water, but instead of drinking they start killing each other.
Of course nobody's running 64-bit applications at home on at the office. Because the dominant player there is Microsoft -- whose 64-bit support on the desktop is either lame (try to find even basic drivers for XP-64) or a nightmare (try to run Vista-64 at all!). Can't really run 64-bit apps without a 64-bit OS, can you?
Linux's 64-bit support isn't up to much either. Whatever OS you use, experimenting with 64-bit is a trail of tears, and of no use to most users.
Wii fans are like Ron/Hermione shippers. Much less glamorous, even mundane. Yet for various good reasons, it Just Works Out. The fans see it coming, using stuff that others just don't see (or refuse to see).
Like what? I watched the film and there is no chemistry between them at all. They barely even look at each other or talk to each other. He's completely unappealing in every way. Then suddenly they're all over each other? I'm sure this was written to feed nerd fantasies, i.e. 'hot girl spontaneously falls for ugly, awkward geek'.
Maybe it's the fact you're not a native English speaker which makes you not able to understand Tolkien. He uses a wide vocabulary that you probably wouldn't come across in a translation guide that tells you how to get directions to the beach.
I've never read the books, but I've seen a few of the films and I don't see what the fuss is all about. The CGI/sets are impressive, but the plots are pretty bland and formulaic. I.e. Harry goes to school, meets new teacher/monster/special effect, endless shots of Hogwarts, has a game of quidditch, fights a CGI monster, some morality speech, the end. The plot never seems to be going anywhere, each film is just a year at hogwarts, with a fight with Voldemort thrown in at the end, that has nothing to do with the previous two hours of the film.
We'll end protectionism when China has the same labour laws and environmental standards as the West. Why should Chinese companies get to produce things for lower prices because they just dump all their chemicals in the local river that the peasants have to drink out of?

I'm sorry but you've been posting this shit in several threads, and I can't work you out at all. Maybe all that weed has made you schizo?

Believe it or not, money doesn't magically disappear when someone spends it.
I very much doubt people like that enjoy their lives.

Maybe you should try reading rather than scanning?

I was thinking of that paper mario.
