When you are self-employed it becomes a bit more noticeable :(

Russia is: A. Selling Uranium to Iran. B. Developing missiles to penetrate any US missile defense system. Is Putin trying to start the cold war again? Is M.A.D. (mutually assured destruction) still seen as a good thing in Russia? I am perplexed, Russia certainly isn't on the US...

I'd like to see a comparison of my benefits under Bush's dastardly plan vs the benefits if Social Security is left as is with its declining worker/recipient ratio. I am not planning on Social Security being around for me either, I just hate having 15.3% of my income stolen to keep this...

...or at least that is what Putin has been told! :) http://www.drudgereport.com/flash3pt.htm

In a ponzi scheme, everyone earns a return until the last 'generation', who in the end have paid a huge amount of money with no chance of recovery. Failure is mathematically inevitable: each successive generation creates a lower payer/recipient ratio. The difference with Social Security is that...

You beat me by a point! :thumbsup: My score:

Giving through taxation does not equal giving through church or charity. That is my problem with the liberal view of Christ's teachings. "Hey, you look like you need help!" (tax a rich man, get funds) "here you go! Remember who provided for you come this November!" It is a method of creating...

I just know I read a Garfield funny with this exact situation. Well, except for the hospitalization and blindness, that is :(

What is your opinion?

Kyoto=Big$$$ for government entities at the expense of businesses and the employees that work for them and the customers they serve. If the US government does decide to imply that system, I'd hope it would be out of the international arena, not in the form of an international treaty but rather...

Larry King doesn't immitate a woman's voice very well! :D I do see a bit of a difference between Bugs Bunny laying a big kiss on Elmer Fudd in a gag vs. the Ugly Stepsister locking lips with Prince Charming.

I thought about posting this, but I knew mhatten would come through! :D (note to self: handcuffs are not for play :eek: )

Of the options given, I'd chose both. But I like option 3 the best. Anything but what is currenly going on, or raising the rate taken out of people's paychecks.

You could also look into asylum as well, I believe it is a shorter process than citizenship if your intention is to just keep from being sent back to Algeria.

Reps!

I don't see the problem: XX=Female, XY=Male, if I remember right from biology. Secondary sex characteristics vary greatly, even when there is no gender confusion. Something about parents deciding to make a baby wait until some years in the future to "choose" a gender, which may be opposed to...

Fear not! [cue cheesy superhero theme] The ACLU will never cease until liberty is once again restored in Stauton.
