But you're missing the point: Exxon will be collecting $67.4 billion from you and me, *irrespective* of whether they are taxed at 40% or 4%. In fact, the tax represents money coming *back* to the people, and not a tax *on* the people. Lower the taxes on Exxon, and there will be less tax revenue with which to fund public profits.
Tell you what: I'll keep that sig for a week (so our oh-so-witty exchange still makes sense), and then I'll change it to something different. Oh, and kudos to you for being such a good sport!
Decreasing influence of Christians in the US? A country where it has 'God' on its money? Where students have to pledge alliegance to 'One nation under God'? Where trying to run for any public office as an atheist is futile?
Grow up and stop whining, you pathetic little shit. Christians in the US have it far easier than any other religious group, who in turn have it far easier than the non-religious.
For the record: I've lived in the US for 5 years now. There are many things I love about it, but one thing I detest is pathetic little God-squadders like yourself bitching about how put-upon you are -- all while you stack the government and the legal system with religious nutjobs who want to force Christ down my throat and my family's throat at every possible moment.
So, although you are legally considered an adult upon turning 18, you cannot drink unless you sign up with the military and go off shooting people. I don't see how that's a healthy societal attitude.
Oh, and I'm too old to join up. Not that it matters, since I'm old enough to drink. Also, I'm more use to my country in a lab than elsewhere.
The US has some of the most stringent laws amongst western nations for limiting alcohol access to young adults. You can be taxed, vote, fuck and die for your country, but you can't drink beer until you're 21. Yet, amongst its peers, it ranks close to the top in terms of alcohol abuse and related activities like drink driving.
Similar hypocricy abounds in other spheres of life. The 'most free' nation in the developed world, yet a higher fraction of its population imprisoned than anywhere else. Abstinence only, but the highest rates of teenage pregnancy.
All of these are symptomatic of the US's prohibitionist approach to life -- a trait that can be traced all the way back to the pilgrims, who fled England not to be free from religious persecution, but so that they could themselves persecute without interference.

Bully for you, aspergers boy.
The thing is its very ambiguous how much gigabytes you're using.
Bollocks. Count the packets that a user sends/receives. Usgage = # of packets x packet size.
This doesn't speak well for the state of British underwear, but whatever.
Yes, mothballs play havoc with the elastic, what!

Bah, 1500 microBEWERIES = 1.5 millBREWERIES -- not even one whole brewery!

Cock. You're welcome ;)
There -- fixed it for you.

Well, that's obviously not the right thing to call them...
Yeah, fuck them slit-eyes. Go USA!

Not anymore; since the Fortran 90 standard, Fortran has been spelled Fortran.

Actually, I'm not from the US myself. So, where are you from? I really want to know which country didn't like Baywatch ;)

Erm... this was my point, dude. The US's prohibitionist approach to many social problems usually exacerbates, or even causes, these problems.
BTW, where is 'here'?
