    Karma means everybody I'm screwing did something bad in a previous life. Hence they deserve it.

    I'm a utilitarian, not a social utilitarian, a personal utilitarian. Whatever outcome has the most utility for me is the most moral.

    No. THAT is spoken like a true grifter though. You're above all that money nonsense.

    That only works if they are qualified students. Otherwise you are tutoring them in middle school subjects, which they didn't get the first two times. Good luck.

    Citation needed. The usual ones have all been thoroughly debunked.

  7. You have a theory. I have cars on the road whos warranty repairs are being tracked.

    Electric motors shouldn't have to be replaced every 2 years. Clearly they are doing something wrong.

    One stupid $1000 door handle/year replaced is the average.

    You only get one kick per call.

    I'd just attach a leg and foot to a car wheel. Line things up, jack up the drive wheels and dump the clutch at yellow line.

  9. She wasn't skilled enough to fire her pistol at it's effective range, thank dog. There is no reason to think she was any better with a rifle.

    Clearly a 223 does more damage, but she wasn't exactly effective.

  10. A stripper clip is not the same thing as a clip.

    Clips were pretty much M1 rifle only. Stripper clips are what you discribe.

  11. I own a M1 rifle, you insensitive clod.

    Eight years is too long.

    You were doing it right, but the trick is that after you acquire new skills and experience, you change employers and get the money.

    Most employers will always remember what you made when you started there. It's one of the main reasons to job hop somewhat regularly. At some level they are always calculating the % of your initial pay that a raise represents. You want to get good money when you come in the door, if you don't, you WILL need to job hop.

    70% graduation rate in 6 years can be achieved in two ways:

    1. Only admit qualified students.

    2. Pass everyone.

    How about 70% graduation rate plus 70% get jobs, in field? Yes I know, they'd just corrupt the definition of 'in field'.

    I'd say that their current method has produced a list of 'elite schools' plus 'diploma mills'.

    Allow those that received the calls to kick him square in the nuts. Once for each call.

    Put him in stocks, that travel the nation, so people can kick him in the nuts without travelling. Just a trip to the local park to catch his 'tour'.

    This was done during the Iran/Iraq war.

    The invasion of Iraq was orchestrated by the same group of people (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell etc) that had managed that stalemate. It wouldn't have worked if they said their plans outloud. Saudi Arabia is key, they have to fund the Sunni's side of the wars.

    It is not a stretch, it's the SOP.

    Do you know of any company, private of public, that sells unsecured bonds before secured ones?

    They don't own a money printing press, their debts are absolutely relevant. Especially as they are currently in the process of being sold to the private market. You can bet they would be worth much more without the debt.
