Reply to A look at taxes as they are now in Politics Stardock Forums

It is my belief that the rich, or more particularly those who are in the high net worth range (4.7 Million Plus) have more of a marginal propensity to save their money than a person who makes say 100,000 a year or a person who makes 60,000 Because of that high MPS (marginal propensity to save... or spend, its been a while since my economics class lol) and the very large posibility that the money in the "rich" circle will stay within a very small portio

Reply to Windows 7 UI Revealed in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I don't know about Windows 7. I am still waiting for the ""cloud" database storage instead of what we have now. I am sort of being forced to switch due to the fact that I want a new computer and the ones I want only come in VISTA but for the most part I don't see a reason to switch from XP. Maybe when there are more 64 bit apps I will feel the need to go to Vista and Windows 7.

Reply to U.N. Forecasters: Global Temperatures to Decrease in Current Events Stardock Forums

Well... I never really liked the fanatics of the global warming debate. I thought their tactics were exteme to say the least. I was surpised though that there is proof that the Earth is cooling and has been for the past 10 years. NEVERTHELESS, whether you are on "the Earth is doing just fine" team or on "the Earth is dieing" team, the bottom ine that everyone is missing almost everytime I hear this debate is that we can not continue to trash our planet up with waste.

Reply to Who Will Pay My Student Loans? in Democrat JoeUser Forums

As a person who knows what it is like to have a super butt load of student loans (a B.S. and working on my graduate degree) I can understand a persons frustrations about paying them back especially if you have to live in a city like LA or NYC where average rent hovers around 2000 a month (yes that is misleading... you can get rent for around 900-1200 but that is still around 12,000 a year) for a one bedroom apartment. and then thre is electricity, phone, internet, gas... and then the ta

Reply to An Honest Question Deserves an Honest Answer in Work JoeUser Forums

WOW... great article. I love pregnant women curves but I'll admit that I would have put her on a pedestal so high that I wouldn't want to touch her too often (like her body has become super holy). I do know that having sex with your pregnant wife is good for everyone involved... the baby isn't directly involves sort to speak, but sex helps with the opening of the vaginal area so I have rad many years ago... so I would have sex with her at least 3 times

Reply to A smarter tax system in Politics JoeUser Forums

That is, if people really support having the government provide health care insurance for other people's children, then they shouldn't mind paying correspondingly more in taxes to pay for it. I would love this but as it turns out every time the government does it, it seems that the money eventually ends somewhere else. Am I correct in this statement? School tax of which is supposed to pay for anything sch

the Sherman Act: Group Boycotts and Refusals to Deal in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

A question for those who understand business law: Group Boycotts and Refusals to Deal I can understand why this is part of the Sherman Act; it blocks companies from squashing a competitor who may be new to the market or just really not liked for some reason or another. For example you have 3 oil companies who deal with 10 different truck companies.

Reply to Do You Believe You Should Pay for Other's Retirement or Not? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Oh, and what no one has talked about is that sice this economy is so driven by people who put themselves in debt to buy stuff, what would it look like if more people actually was more responcible with their money? I have a questions: Does anybody here teach their childen how investment works? What it means to save money? What it means to not put yourself in debt or have smart debt? Does your kid know what GDP is? What a Mutual Fund is?Do

Reply to Do You Believe You Should Pay for Other's Retirement or Not? in Politics JoeUser Forums

My biggest thing with people buying more than what they should, no saving, and so forth is that no one teqaches this in school nor is it part of the fabric or US society to learn such a thing. The people you mentioned who drove around in cars they probably shouldn't bougght, smoking weed (or something else), expensive clothes and so on probably don't have a clue as to what savings is or how money works. Probably don't understand how interest w

Reply to GTA IV: A social phenomenon in Gaming JoeUser Forums

I think the basic of all reasons is that it involves cars and the ability to drive anywhere you want to. Yeah there have been some other games like that, but this game does it with radio stations, an interesting plot, and plenty of gun play. I like it, although I do wish it didn't go so far sometimes. I don't think the gun shots should sound so real nor do I think the cursing should be all over the place. Makes me wonder if they will

Reply to My take on IE 7 and Firefox 2.0 in Windows Software WinCustomize Forums

Speaking on IE7, does anybody know how to uninstall it? I personally don't like it too much. I guess it could work for those who still use IE but for me, it seems like a hog on resources. Plus, it won't skin nicely LOL. (and my computer has been acting strange since I installed it... and McAfee) Now if it did skin nicely then maybe I would want to keep it.

Reply to North Korea Rules The World in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

I don't think they will over play their hand (North Korea). I think, in fact, there is no way that they can over play their plan. All North Korea has to do is say, 'ok, we will talk', and there will be throngs of countries saying stop the sanction immediately and go into talks. The USA will be used as a scapegoat again, and North Korea will be back in control (as if they really ever lost it). China is stuck, Russia wants a pipeline to go through the country, South Korea wants to re-unit

North Korea Rules The World in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

Americans, Europeans, Asians, Rusians, Africans... deal with it. Not even the USA can do anything about North Korea and for that matter Iran. Just think about it for a minute. How exactly do you propose that we or any other nation do anything? Talking won't work because these countries use talking to allow them more time and to give themsevles more of a bargaining chip (ransom) later on. Why would North Korea stop its nuclear plan? Sanctions? Those sanctions will be lifted just

Personally, I think this is not something that should be plastered all over the news. I should have to look somewhat hard to find this, but for some reason its front page news. I think today's society is hooked on hollywood like a drug or something, mainly because the news (and mucis) reflects society in allot of ways. News companies KNOW they need something to get people to watch and I guess TomKat is something to get people to hear about the
