But it must be declining. If the temperature is like 20 degrees hotter than it was a decade ago the ice has to melt. Doesn't it? Oh, now I'm so confused.
It all depends on your point of view. If you're a global warming proponent then the temperature is trending up. If you are a global warming denier then the temperature isn't trending up. I'm enjoying this debate with it's non-stop fact making.
Maybe because the job sucks? It's difficult or dangerous? Supply and demand? Lots of useless suits graduating college these days, maybe the field is overloaded. I do know that generally employers pay people the least amount they can get away with. It's hard to find people with no drug problems that show up on time every single day and work hard for 8.50 an hour. Thus, even though some jobs require an IQ of 80 or so they still pay fairly decent.
I'm not happy with a lot of the stuff the NSA does but this kind of statement ignores the realities of an ugly world. You act as if all we had to do was just ignore the fact that there are people out there that for whatever reason want to infiltrate and attack the USA. Truly in a perfect world we wouldn't need something like the NSA but alas we have to deal with what we have. If a lot of it seems like "the end justifies the means," well that is what it is. In a world with nuclear weapons and serin gas to be totally pacifistic means to be vulnerable to everyone out there and they aren't all nice people. I can't understand why people are surprised that an agency whose entire purpose it to spy, spies on people. It's what they are.
I remember feeling the same way 35 years ago. I can tell you that I made my way and I believe you can too. I'm not rich but I am comfortable and I never made better than lower middle class money. I never started saving any money at all untill I got rid of credit card debt. That shit is like a cancer on your life.
Another benefit for business loans is that the financing is tax deductible. Homes are as well. In those cases it makes perfect sense. I don't know how many times I've seen people paying almost a quarter of their income in interest charges on credit cards. It's crazy. I use a credit card but carry only a small balance on it, if any.
I can tell you've never worked a production line. If you had you'd know what a stupid comment you'd just made. Are auto workers overpaid? Maybe. Underworked? Hardly. Now executive salaries are an entirely different matter. How salaried execs at a company with such dismal records make the kind of bonuses these overpaid asshats collect is inexplicable.
Small disasters are handled by mid level management who are somewhat competent. The big disasters they call in the high level bureaucrats to handle it and those are the truly incompetent ones. Actually they are really just politicians and good at kissing ass and things like that but not good at handling disasters.
And isn't that the primary purpose of the government, particularly the federal government. To fuck up everything they touch. They've done wonders for education and now they're working on destroying the health industry. FEMA is staffed by some fine people at the lower level but at the top the idiots reign supreme as they do in all federal bureaucracy. That's how it works by design in government. The idots rise to the top which fully explains the executive office for the last few decades.
I kept killing the pedestrians and when the ambulance showed up I'd run over the EMT's. It was the freaky sounding screams that made me do it. I loved hearing it. I kept shoving quarters in and there were about a dozen kids watching me and laughing their asses off. I think that might have been the clincher. It was morbid but fun.
I'm thinking that posting the thing was a bad idea. Maybe some kind of warning was defintely in order. Talk to him and explain that his response to the bullying was in it's own way just as bad. Jail? You're fucking crazy. Talk about over reaction. What the hell ever happened to common sense. I remember when I was a kid and we did bad stuff my Dad told me where I went wrong and backed it up with a belt. Nowadays this is called child abuse and instead we throw them in jail or trank them on drugs. Big improvement....not.
I remember a video game in an arcade back years ago that involved driving a car around doing different point scoring things. If you ran over pedestrians it deducted points and they screamed pitifully. I really liked hearing them scream so I was steadily running them down. They actually kicked me out of the arcade back then. Nowadays I'd have served jail time.
I'm shocked it's that low. 4 guns a day nationwide is pretty small. You've got to figure out of the millions pouring through airports daily at least a tiny percentage are bat shit crazy. Maybe not even such a tiny percentage. I remember reading about one guy who freaked out on a flight and his fellow passengers got so frightened that they killed him. This was before 911.
It's common enough. Everyone prefers their own legal system over a foreign one. Plenty of people flee the US to avoid prosecution and hide from Interpol. If other countries give up their citizens to the US that is between them and their government. I expect mine to protect me unless it's sure that I'll get a fair shake.
I have to admit that if my 16 year old son had a girl sleep over with him I'd damn sure have bought him a box of condoms. Hell yes. It never occurred to him to ask if he could have a girl sleep over though.
The stupid fuckers broke in my car and got my AM/FM Cassette radio that doesn't fucking work. That's not the problem. The morons busted out the window despite the fact the fucking door was not locked and they could have just opened it. Then they proceeded to bust the dash apart to get the piece of shit non-working radio out when I had a screwdriver and pair of vice grips under the front seat which they didn't see evidently because they were focused on the damn cassette unit. See what crack cocaine and meth do for you? 600 dollars in damage to get a 30 dollar radio IF it had even worked. I would have gladly given them enough meth ot OD them free of charge.

So what you are saying is they change the models to fit what happens? But that is science! You've stumbled onto the scientific method.

Why should a line worker make more?

Nothing scarier than having your entire life savings become worthless.

Unfortunately education isn't happening much in modern schools.
I'm thinking next up is licenses for phones. You can't trust just anyone with one.

Too bad Nokia quit making fun phones. The last was the N900. I'd love to have a new phone similar to that with modern specs.

That's because titties are titillating.
Face it. If parents aren't paying attention to their children then internet porn is the least of their problems.
