Liam, I think your arguement was to agree with me? I was after all being Sarcastic with that one line. I need to put/Sarcasam in my posts??? What is this? FARK??
I just responded to your other comment elsewhere, I was giving you the benifit of a doubt, however I can see your blind to reason. Sorry, maybe those jack boots are a little too tight.
However I will give it one more shot. A Judge, activist or not does not create a law. What a Judge can do is overturn one with a ruling and send it back to the Legistlature. With a note meaning, you went too far; F- Try Again. I would suggest you do something better with your nights like actually read up on what our government is supposed to do, and turn off Fox News.
I will not sit idle while someone siphons away my liberty. Your arguement speaks of a trade off of one for the other. There are simply times when you have to get off your ass and say NO! Paying someone to insure you against ruin is simple prudence.
But what your getting at is one of those flawed arguements against a so called welfare state. What some call the Social Contract. That's intended to keep grandma off the streets in her old age when Enron goes flat and wipes out her life savings. Or your disabled nephew who can't do what ever it is like a normal person and can't get a real job by himself. Tucking him in 'Hospital' and forgetting about him says so much that the bile in my throat prevents me from speaking it aloud.
A nanny state is not welfare. A nanny state is where the state universally wipes your nose for you and you obey like a 3 year old. It watches you from every building and makes sure you brush your teeth. Step out of line you get a smack. I would guess that you haven't read V for Vendetta. Sorry, but that's my opinion.
Better hurry, it's likely to get burned in the next few months. NeoCons so hate people pointing out the end results of their plans.
They are telepathic and can spot a picnic basket from orbit. On the upside they go great covered in Chocolate. But the size factor would make the many gallons of Chocolate very expensive to ship from earthside.
Guess it's time to get cracking on those orbital farms.
Were you agreeing or mocking? Allowing this sort of crap is grabbing your ankles. "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
How sad, so where did those rights come from? Was there a finite supply at the begining and now it's leaking and evaporating away?
The Government in the US is intended to be the instrement of the will of the people. It's built in such a way as to slow down momentary fads and keep things like Juggling Cats/Midgets from becoming the law of the land just because it's a popular idea at the time. Any law or 'Right' has to fight it out thru the system and become a Law. As a slowing factor we have the Courts to toss of the really stupid ideas that make it to the presidents desk. That's why the NeoCons whine about Activist Judges.
Every right we have was fought for, every right we still have has it's defenders. If the defenders of that Right fail then that Right is lost. BTW, most of a Right's defenders are not in government. Most are people yelling at their TVs and joining street marchs. Left or Right yelling at your TV is common. Of course I would like to yell a few choice things at that dumb bitch and her 'Erode Rights' theory.
Yet another great one from Alan Moore, soon to be a disowned waterdown hollywood lackluster (he's already disowned it). However the actual comic is exactly what this so-called erosion of rights is all about. If your going to allow this in the UK or anywhere else you need to do two things;
Bring your own KY Jelly.
Grab your ankles really really tight.
and I want you to know speaking as a life long leftist, I have NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU.

Looks like that one won't be happening. Seems Zan (the boy) died when Wonder Woman emptied her bath water. I will leave that as a Cartoon Network in-joke.

All the good times we have shared with SSL 2.0 now they will be gone. SSL 2.0 will locked in it's room sobbing and won't come out for a week. Well Firefox, I hope your satisfied, go on! Go off with your new Friends, see if SSL 2.0 cares.
Oh and SSL 2.0 want's it's ring back, otherwise there will be a messy lawsuit.

Who? Coleman, yeah he should be happy he has a job. Or rather gets paid to mouth off about what amounts to only tech workers who are bored or otherwise uninvolved enough to answer the survey.
Consider that vistors to a site called Salary.com are looking for work, as in planning to get the hell out of where every they are. Sorry; I am not impressed, should I have been?
If the credit companies wanted a signifigant change in the way things were done it would have been changed long ago. So called losses to fraud aside the net gain is on claiming losses against tax and dividends have enriched them beyond all measure. It's all funny accounting you will never read about in the WSJ.
Businesses use the cost of business to determine their profits. Losses from the year are deducted from the companies net profit and they would prefer that the net was as low as possible. In their yearly taxes they 'write off losses' and claim them as part of the cost of doing business.
Weither it's bad debts or some form of thieft. Their net gain is in THIS YEAR's writeoff. Should they collect a bad debt a year or 30 years from now is simply gravy. It won't be counted as part of that years income as it was a past debt and nobody will research it deep enough or even notice. NOBODY CARES ABOUT DELAYED INCOME. Income delayed will be added to the income of the year it was created not the current year. The bean counters will go back and adjust that years books to show a profit then. An audit won't pick it up because the books are in house and the IRS only has what they were given and all the info from that year will jive with the stated amounts. Receipts from different years will be ignored even though they are in context with the debt as a unit.
That's why the debts you may get calls about are marked as written off in your credit reports, but they still want the money.
Hmmm, so this site called Something Awful which is new suddenly gets a bunch of money. I think it works something like this;
1. Spend years developing a following for a humor site.
2. Wait like a spider for a national disaster (I think effects the actual SA servers)
3. Create a relief fund and your loyal patrons donate money.
4. ???????
5. Paypal profit.
Ok, so a sudden $20k boost in a account should really really send up flags. However SA is not a porn site created last week. Where is their brains?????
Please stick to real practical issues relating to ideas to help the victims. I am happy to troll and get involved in flame/political wars, but this isn't one of those times. I am sticking this a bit higher in the thread but I am really discusted with some of the off topic comments here today. Can you people please stop typing with one hand for one day?
