Here's an analogy, as seen from my state; State: Please give us more money for schools. It will make them better. Education is important. Citizens: OK, here you go! State (a few years later): Please give us money for the schools. They are underfunded. Education is important Citizens: well, OK, here you go. State ( Switching school funds to pay for useless stuff unrelated to schooling) Hey, we need more money for schools. See how badly they're doing? Citizens: You keep asking, you switch stuff around.. why should we? State: We Promise! We won't, it's built into THIS law! Citizens: OK, if you don't move it around... State ( a few years later): We didn't account for solar flares. We need more money for schools. education is important. If we don't get it, our kids will end up selling apples on the street corner. Citizens: This better be it!!! Here you go. State ( a few years later): Hey, we need more money for schools Citizens: Screw you State: why do you hate civilization and the children?
Taxes being high and tax revenue are two entirely separate things. My tax could be extremely high (100%) and because nobody bothers to work because of it, my revenue would be extremely low ($0).
Nothing at all could go wrong with Cars talking to each other. Unless they get together and hold us all hostage in a gas station, forcing us to fuel their unending hunger.
I've always found shooting targets with humans on them kinda creepy, regardless of the human. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer mine as little round circles.
Honestly, I don't know what the bitching over 8 (non RT) is about. I've got an Lenovo Tablet 2, with Win8 standard. It's different from 7, but has a reasonable 7 interface on the "desktop". I can use either. It works fine. It doesn't crash. I can install stuff on it. Once I learned the little oddities, it's been simple and easy. Seriously, hearing tech people complain about how difficult Win 8 is makes me laugh. It's just another OS. Learn it. You'd think they made you factor equations to login. People complain that MS spends too much time making things backwards compatible, so when they release something even SLIGHTLY different, it's like the Pope turned Satanist.
In this future, will buy small, cheap radios. I will set them all to some annoying oompah polka station and place them around each billboard. The ads everywhere will be for adult diapers.
According to Zimmerman, they were fighting and the kid was smashing his head into the concrete ground. Wounds on his head seem to support the fact that they fought. I'm not sure you want to bother trying to sort through all the half truths that have been reported on the case, but that's the given explanation
If you ever get a chance, I'd suggest reading any of the large historical volumes written on Southeast Asia during the postwar period. The United States' involvement in that war, while easy to look down on now, is easier to understand when you realize the large amount of changes occurring there during that time period. Toss in Soviet Expansion, and it makes for some frightening times. It's interesting history, and gives a good perspective on today's problems and how we should be dealing with them. I see Syria in a similar fashion, except both sides there look even LESS friendly than the South Vietnamese.
Wouldn't you then end up with a bunch of greedy idiots who hop on the teaching bandwagon just for the easy money? Raising pay rates doesn't always raise quality.
I'm giving you a high five, mainly because there seem to be far too many people trying to do what's right, and getting hammered for it. I'm not sure what that's worth, but there you go.
math was easy for me in school when I could ask the teacher/instructor "but why does it work this way?", and got an answer. The moment I arrived at the teachers saying "just follow the instructions and it will return the correct answer", it got hard. Knowing why it worked was/is important to my comprehension.
There should be no cap on SS tax. This would solve the whole "SS is running out of money" issue immediately. I believe in flat taxes, and I also don't see the logic in this limit.
Or...flat tax everyone, and make aid to the poor completely separate from tax. Don't exempt anyone, but if you're only making $5K per year you get aid based on that divorced from your tax rate.

Jesus did.
Of course, he came back shortly thereafter.
Reading this, I saw:
blah blah blah "Natural News"-->ignore everything following.
Interesting analogy, since the big brewers now control lots of beers that are considered microbrew if you don't look too deep.
So you notice it when you disagree, but don't notice it when you agree...

Like type "so" instead of "do"?

When I first read this, I thought you said "future generations", and I thought "Will the water really last that long?"
Thanks for the global warming! It was you all along!

My god, you've completely changed my mind! We should NOT have become involved in WW2. Lindbergh was right!

I've always felt pride topped them all. People want power to feel better than the next guy.

Wow! I thought I was the only idiot around who that happened to! Pre college: Simple. College: Wha?
