Yeah, keep asking "questions" prole.

The way Entwistle went is not too bad either...

who said we needed to come up with new material when the old material is more current than EVER, in my lifespan anyway?

Right, because consumers would never choose earthquake-proofed buildings on their own and create demand for such products in the free market. Especially in an area in which earthquakes are frequent and devastating. Actually, places with weak regulations have huge casualty counts during quakes (Turkey for example). It's the case for most natural hazard btw: people who live in LA burbs routinely buy expensive houses that were built right in the paths of debris flows. 30% of new shoreline properties will be gone in 50-100 years, etc Thanks, Cliff. Pun intended.

On another front, the avy forecast this weekend blows.

What is your opinion on US bases and military pressence in places like Japan, Korea and Germany? How much could closing them save us per annum?

are you making him an offer?

Those kids probably had to practice 16 hours a day and were beaten regulary with bamboo staffs for mistakes.

Yes, I had to do a double take on that flaming debris. it'dve been even more biblical if a screamign horde of frogs and locusts was riding the front edge Or a man with a staff struck the water and all the debris flowed around him.

Just that or or cap gains and other taxes too? How about tying the top marginal tax rate to the economy: 39% when a set of economic indicators falls below some threshold (below meaning a weak economy, like now), and 35% when it exceeds those threshold. I would like to know how much money this would net the gov't though before signing off. 50 billion? 100? 500?

Quantify "enough".

Yea, congress keeps giving themselves bigger and bigger salaries and sweeter benefits. f-ing rich f-s! That's nice. How about a comment on Mr. Buffet's contention...you know, for a little less boring repetition on your part? Just this once.... The broken record is "the rich don't pay enough, the rich don't pay enough". What is "enough"? Why don't you quantify. 35% top marginal goes back to 39.6 and suddenly that's 'enough'? It's just a left-wing talking point - you can always use the "rich" as political rhetoric and leverage people's emotions and jealousy to make the claim that it's just not fair. As for Buffet he is perfectly free to donate whatever money he feels he doesn't need right to the federal coffers - nothing is stopping him.

never waste a crisis, ivan? i'm an atheist to be sure, but hardly a crusading one as that'd be...uh..retarded. ya'll are free to draw your own conclusions, so long as you leave me out of them I do agree with your quote... the sea is madness. I watch shit like this and am kind of energized and terrified at the same time at the power of nature and glad to be at a distance... kind of like watching a serac break loose... I've been in my share of 6.x magnitude quakes in Cali (and one here in Seattle) and can only imagine what kind of shit an 8.9 does. Footage of that water swell in Japan was mesmerizing.

you are a one track record. boring.

never waste a crisis, ivan?

so true but usually = funny! not.

which will be one and same if j_b and prole have their way. just think how wages and pensions will be with 100% government employment and nobody in the public sector to tax!

It doesn't work that way anymore.... but touching none the less Yeah - some jobs are going away forever - like a significant percentage of the construction jobs that only materialized as a result real-estate bubble in the history of the world. Even if trying to squander trillions more fully-reflate the real estate bubble wasn't profoundly retarded, there isn't enough real wealth in the US to do so. They're going to have to find other lines of work. Anyone who tells them otherwise really isn't helping them. Programs that help them make the transition are good - trying to pretend that the bubble is going to reflate, or squandering trillions trying to reflate it isn't. THE ANSWER IS HIGH SPEED TRAINS!!!!

Far more impressive than your libtard education.

You could make a similar statement about stem-cell research. You do research to solve the problems that are unsolved. Duh.

Actually, I think it was "Work will make you free". I looked up the quote, I was wrong , imagine, here it is,"Everyone gets what he deserves" I recall it as AE does: Arbeit macht frei. What quote / reference are you getting this from?

With prole and j_b around the world is ending every day.
