and the 'double speed every 18 months' thing is pretty much gone, so your computer is no longer obsolete in 5 years. Hell, it's fast enough for just about anything, so long as you don't run pointless bloatware, so why not sit tight for a few years.
Hundreds of billions of dollars wasted, a few thousand American soldiers killed, a few hundred thousand non-Americans killed, a region effectively destabilized, all over an event that killed barely 5000 people.
What event would that be? All saddam did was try and stay in power in Iraq.
If you drive drunk you should probably do some time
I'd agree to that if they upped the limit to.10 or.12, where it started. Almost all the DUI deaths are from people doing.15 or more, so it would have almost no effect on people who aren't a threat.
It's you stupid liberals that can't do basic math.
Liberals stand for limited government and personal freedom. What's that got to do with the health care mess? I love how you talk about federal entitlements like they're some sort of nasty disease while ignoring that most of the beneficiaries are the rich and large corporations; also consider that your one man paying for 9 others got that way by screwing over a lot of people for his own gain - if wages hadn't been dropping since the 70s (for most of us), this wouldn't be an issue.
Clinton wasn't too bad, fiscal wise, but don't forget that he had a Republican congress that voted no to nearly every single one of his proposals.
I remember the 1994 republicans - they shut down the federal government for a month out of spite. Remember that?
Reagan would have been great, if the Dems had shut down the Dept of Education and trimmed entitlements, like he proposed. His tax cuts though, produced a giant increase to the federal treasury.
Funny, I recall that most of the mess he made was from giving a trillion bucks to the military industrial complex. Much better than something like funding state college for eveyone who can get in.
Democrats DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO SUCCEED, because, if someone succeeds, that means, to them, that someone else didn't.
Nah, Democrats don't have enough organization to really do much.
If the seller is the POS, then a CA buyer is paying WA sales tax when they buy from amazon; CA wouldn't like that, so you still don't get around the tug of war on tax revenue.
I guess you're right. I'd be happy to get back to the good old days of the USA, when "the greatest generation" had a top tax bracket of 70%-94% all the way from 1936 to 1981.
You mean 1963, right? Keep in mind that you had to make well over $20k in 1963 to pay above 50%, which is really a lot of money, considering that a house in Arlington VA cost $45k.
all states are somewhat purple - dig up an election result map that shades based on county by county split and you'll see that the whole red vs. blue is heavily overstated.
A lot of US car companies are going under because they have very generous pension plans and a lot of retired workers to pay.
Yeah right. More like, they haven't had an original idea in 20 years and are just now trying to make reliable cars with good mileage instead of optimizing repair shop revenue.
An S8 is not exotic, it's the high end of Audi's normal line. The RS4 could be considered an exotic, as could the Lotus Elise. The Porsche 911 is a good example of an exotic - fast, expensive, and good resale. It also runs reliably, which is almost enough to kick it out of the category.
Or, rather, what people appear to be doing because how would they really know? I dunno how my comment is flamebait, though - hanging out on a rooftop with a rifle is just asking to be shot, especially when you start aiming at people.

You can't put a nuclear plant next to each village
You can put one near every major city and that'll work just fine. Just have to make them medium sized and standardize on a design or two.
yeah, look at the shit they pull with FHA funding - how'd you like them to say 'do what we say or no power'?

Americans are not "oblivious" to obesity, and do not "tolerate" drunk-driving deaths.
What's to tolerate? there are about 1000 in a given year, which isn't much - more kids drown than that.
since when do computers get twice as fast every 18 months? That hasn't been true for a couple years.

how much of the stuff you use every day shows up on a truck? I assume you eat...

What authority does WA have to collect taxes on a purchase made in CA?
Wyoming gets more funding per capita than we do. WTF is wrong with that picture?
Like anyone lives in wyoming.
all states are somewhat purple - dig up an election result map that shades based on county by county split and you'll see that the whole red vs. blue is heavily overstated.
it's like asking a workman whether a new hammer would make his job any more profitable. That doesn't mean it's not an investment anyway.
No, the fact that a hammer is a capital expense is why it isn't an investment. buying shares in his construction company is an investment.
it's called terminal emulation, and you can modify that too. Regardless, telnet works just fine for smtp testing.

sure, they should be able to cancel contracts, so long as they pay a reasonable early termination fee, say around 250CDN.
Thia may not apply in other nations but in America it works every time.
For example, in Japan, you're supposed to go get hammered with your boss.

Would you REALLY want a chick that shags anyone with an instrument??
No, I want the rocket scientist who gets hot for guitars.
Bass or lead guitar, you've got to try schechter - I heart my C1 classic.
eck, you don't even have to go back 100 years to find cars where the value has increased because of its nostalgic or rarity value.
Heh, yeah, but this ain't a Corvette Stingray or a 993 porsche 911. Hell, it can't even outrun a WRX.
are you kidding? If some kid pulled what looked like a gun, I'd shoot him too.
