I hope you weren't expecting anything different from this spraytastic thread

His point is "I can't give to charity because my house is too expensive" is a selfish excuse. I don't see how you can argue with that. If that is an excuse someone uses, they are saying that they prioritized spending on their own home higly enough that it eliminated money in their budget for charity. People who place a high enough priority on giving to charity will do so regardless of other factors.
Good point counterfeit. I'll sell my house pronto, move to the burbs, get a second job, and raise a latch-kid key to avoid your definition of selfish.
Is owning a home at my financial limit selfish? Sure. Do I feel guilty that I have a warm, dry, and safe home while millions (billions?) don't? Absolutely. Is home ownership simply self-serving or is it part of a long-term financial plan designed to allow me to give a larger portion of my income to those who aren't as fortunate? I'll let you take a guess at that one.

I suggest you look at the average workers "lavish" home in a coastal megapolois. Perhaps they don't want to commute 4hrs a day from some cheap Central Valley shithole
No shit. I guess my decision to purchase a (((lavish))) house in Ballard so I could spend less time commuting and more time with my son makes me a self-centered prick . . .
why do you live in seattle instead of the midwest? i'm guessing you like it here, or you like your job.
i'm not calling you a prick - i havne't heard you use your ballard house as an excuse for not giving to charity...or whether or not you give to charit. you went straight to the defensive on that one.
I try to put my money where my mouth is, but my mortage-to-income ratio prevents me from making the levels of charitable contributions that I'd like to.
I live in Seattle because I have a family here and a job with tremendous potential. Certainly, I could find a job and move to the midwest, but I seriously doubt I could make the same relative earnings and have the same potential for income growth, debt elimination, and future disposable income to direct towards charities.
I concede that you didn't call me a 'prick' . . . I think you used the phrase 'self-centered' to describe coatal metropolians.

It is liberals who advocate "forgiveness" of loans to Third World countries, a "living wage" for the poor and a "safety net" for all.
But these are all government policies -- not individual acts of compassion -- and the actual empirical consequences of such policies are of remarkably little interest to those who advocate them.
The author seems to imply that governmental policies, as opposed to traditional charities, do not have individual costs. Of course, debt forgiveness, living wages, and social "safety nets" are government policies rather than individual acts of charity. The financial burdens of those policies, however, are transferred to individuals via taxes. If you support such policies, you are also accepting the concominant individual financial burden associated with them.
I understand that the financial burdens of such policies are distributed to both the individuals who support and oppose them. However, isn't it a ((charity))if I'm willing to accept a greater tax burden to facilitate a policy I believe is socially beneficial, such as debt forgivenss or subsidized food for low income mothers?

There is plenty of room for more trees in Seattle, both large, old ones and new ones
The city just planted two nice arbutus trees in our front yard, and a bunch more trees on our block. trees sure are nice, and it seems that the city is at least trying to replant various neighborhoods. better than nothing.

It seems that a number of influential neocon activists have changed course and are abandoning both the Bush administration and hope for a democratic Iraq.
The entire article will be out next month. . . should be interesting.

Mutual consent is key. If the parties do not agree to the material terms of the agreement, there is likely no contract.
Your marked up version of the contract could potentially be considered a counter-offer.

I'm not sure what the funniest part of this article is. I suspect it might be the part about Canadian troops fighting . . .
Canada troops battle 10-ft Afghan marijuana plants
Thu Oct 12, 2006 4:12pm ET
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent enemy -- almost impenetrable forests of 10-feet (three meter) high marijuana plants.
General Rick Hillier, chief of the Canadian defense staff, said on Thursday that Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover. In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana.
"The challenge is that marijuana plants absorb energy, heat very readily. It's very difficult to penetrate with thermal devices ... and as a result you really have to be careful that the Taliban don't dodge in and out of those marijuana forests," he said in a speech in Ottawa.
"We tried burning them with white phosphorous -- it didn't work. We tried burning them with diesel -- it didn't work. The plants are so full of water right now ... that we simply couldn't burn them," he said.
Even successful incineration had its drawbacks.
"A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those (forests) did catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," Hillier said dryly.
One soldier told him later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."

Effectively what our "civil rights for terrorists" advocates do is to tie one hand behind our backs, beat soldiers and policy makers about the head constantly (and bite at their ankles), while humming their mantra of "we're losing, it's unwinnable, blah blah".So you say. I believe nothing that the left says. Such is our current state of affairs in this country. The boy has cried wolf one too many times, and there's been far too much hyperbole for me to believe any of what is being posited about this bill in this debate.
Oh, the sweet irony.

FORESTS: Magistrate's ruling could mean end of hiking user fees
A federal magistrate's dismissal of charges against an Arizona woman for failing to pay forest use fees is the first legal challenge against the fees and could mean the end of them across the country.
Last week, Magistrate Charles Pyle dismissed charges by the Forest Service against Christine Wallace, a Tuscon, Ariz., resident who challenged two $30 tickets she received for not paying the required parking and hiking feels to use Mount Lemmon.
In his ruling, Pyle said that the Forest Service went beyond the bounds of a 2004 law when it charged fees for parking to use a trail, for camping outside developed campgrounds and for picnicking in general. The challenge is the first against park fees since the 2004 law was passed restricting the Forest Service's ability to charge for parking and hiking.
"The Forest Service has not carried out the law," said Kitty Benzar, co-founder of the Western Slope No Fee Coalition, based in Durango, Colo. "We've hesitated until now to use the word illegal because only courts can decide what is legal, but now I feel free to use the word illegal in regards to [the fee on] Mount Lemmon."
Agriculture Undersecretary Mark Rey testified last year before Congress that about 4,505 national forest sites across the country had been charging fees until the 2004 law passed and that 435 such sites had fees eliminated because of the new law's restrictions.
Last week's ruling could set a legal precedent from which to challenge more fees in more parks, which in turn could mean a loss of funding for the parks. Mount Lemmon raised $700,000 per year in fees that were later used to repair and upgrade picnic areas, campgrounds and toilets on the mountain (Tony Davis, Arizona Daily Star, Sept. 13).

There is an add for "rate my clit" on that site.
The creativity is stultifying.
I consider "rate my clit" to be more slutifying than stultifying.
