Reply to Exxon Mobil Posts Highest US Corporate Profit Ever at $9.9B in Current Events JoeUser Forums

By the way, I have a problem with oil period. Them posting profits and being mad at it is like saying to the Saudi goverment stop selling oil at market prcies because its not nice. There has been technology around for decades that would allow us to use vegetable oil for cars and trucks (using deisel engines) but we don't use it because of the cost of infastructure to re-biuld or re-furbish the gas stations and transportation line

Reply to Exxon Mobil Posts Highest US Corporate Profit Ever at $9.9B in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I don't have a problem with it. They sell oil and we buy it. Its simple. I do realize that many of us don't have a choice in the matter because riding a bike to work is not an option or heating their houses with wood sticks might cause problems. Here is the situation... capitalizm. That should explain it fo ya.

sending mail to their personal homes is not a good idea. it is the business entity that you wish to speak to As a person who is currently fighting their ex-employee about very specific items that include putting peoples lives at risk and firing me, I have to say all mail has gone to the business offices where the people I want to contact are. Considering I am the person in the case, I could be evil and send it to their h

I voted for him last term considering that he was the better man for the job (even with all of the crap he does and the stuff I don't at all agree with, he still is the better man for the job... which doesn't say much), but I never really liked him. Now even republicans are getting the brunt of his interesting... ways of working. Welcome to my world.

I know many people her don't believe in the big brother thing coming. I don't personally go for all the hype, but I do believe that you will feel the pressure to not say or do things that could get us in some sort of trouble... like sayinganti-Bush (or whoever is the president in the future) statements and then being watche or taken in for questioning.

Reply to A 15 % FLAT TAX in Politics JoeUser Forums

Flat taxes won't work. I am not an economics major, but after only a few classes, I see why there is such a debate over tax rates, but anybody who know most of the theories would know that a flat tax rate has many issues. Economics isn't just math, its how humans interact with their money. So just saying do this and its fair doesn't quite work. I think everyone here knows if someone is making a million a year can afford more take

Englands Terrorism Act: Good or Bad in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I, for one, do not like the terrorism act. The US Patriot Act seems less intruding than England version. I know I can be arrested for any reason at any time, like for example searching on Google and my library record taken to use against me. For the sake of safety, i can be held for days, months or years and my family will not know. I don't

I made a post about this basically calling Nagin a dumbass. Against obvious intellegence, he wanted people to come back to NO even as drinking water and even washing would have been dangerous. Let alone the people who could get hurt by debree still laying around and the lack of hostpilas open to take care of anyone who could get hurt fixing there homes back up. AND its still hurricane season!!! Don't you want to fix those levees first

Google's "do no evil" works just as long as they do no evil. I lke Google. I really do. Nevertheless, I don't use Google email for nothing more than job search. Someone could say that using it for that reason could be enough for Google to know about me, what I earn and where I live... and signing up for Google Search probably would also garner more info on me that can be used by the gorverment to lock me up because I search for '

Bakerstreet, I think she is refering more to the ideals and commercialism than whether the money spend helps the poor or not. She also seems to be talking about the near wealthy, not the ones who earn 400,000+ a year. (I do see you point about the wealthy spending and through this spending allows people to work, but more comes from 'normal' consumers than the wealthy, otherwise we wouldn't keep talking about consumer confidence all the time.
