How come Brad's company, collectively, made 3 apples, the geniuses cant get that? if he could have produced the 3 apples by himself, why would he have all these people there? you got that genius? did he use the roads? the bridges?the internet? the school system that produced the
Wealth is created from the production of goods, not from consumers destroying goods. The act of selling his goods to consumers doesn't make him wealthy, the act of producing the desirable goods makes him wealthy. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-Table"
A book titled "Ideas and Opinions" by Albert Einstein, published by Bonanza Books, NY- i think in 1954 contained many of his social, economic and religious ideas. In addition of having a great mind he also had a big mouth and never hesitated to express his thoughts. In this article he was smart enough to realize the inherent problem of socialism. He posed the question at the end .... and in reality there is no answer to it and there is no sol
the states that go first would be rotated on a set schedule. This would eventually allow all sates to play a major part in the election . On the face of it, this sounds good. But let's think a little about it. First, if your premise is correct (i.e. the early states determine the nominee) it means every four years we would have a nominee DETERMINED BY FEW STATES albeit a different few. So what did WE achieve? .... nothi
[quote]This is what I meant by them not lying per se.[/quote] that is different Lula. that is not lying. I am talking about presenting a policy in a way that "hides" (under the radar? :LOL:) its consequences and not in plain and clear terms that lay people undererstand. what you described, is bypassing the public in deciding the policy. that is a kind of undemocratic way of governing.
[quote]There is nothing I've said here that is "under the radar"[/quote] according to you, there is nothing wrong with "under the radar" strategy. It is all ok with you. your pants are catching fire Lula .... Jesus will be very upset with you :LOL: He is NOT against "protecting children" but you still accuse him of that.
[quote]Barack Hussein Obama's Wahabisim background and Muslim heritage is what it is...be honest and deal with it. [/quote] I am trying to get you to do that. It is nothing to deal with as far as I am concerned. The man IS christian with a Muslim father who left him looong time ago. It is you who should deal with it honestly and openly not with winks and false assumptions. If you dont like him as a devoted christian, just say that too. for me, it doesnt matter whether he is Muslim or Ch
[quote]What's a little lie about Hillary in light of all the wonderful benefits a Huckster presidency would afford us?[/quote] I really think there should be a law against lying about other's. how else can we stop this dishonest characterization and personality assassinations of others? This is a kind of "political" terrorism, isnt it? if I dont like your politics, I am going to kill your personality by any means and no matter what the consequences are.
[quote]and, this is all perfectly legal! As she runs for President, will YOU vote for her?[/quote] assuming that all what you said is correct ... and legal as you admitted, then what is your problem? better than no-bid contracts .... then may be kick backs? to the Bushes and to the Cheneys? noooo i dont even think that. Honest, i wouldnt accuse them of that. I just say they do illegal things. or they are morons and people are taking advantage of their stupidity.
[quote] His voting record is a good way we can measure the candidate[/quote] of course it is. but we must present the facts in an honest way not put it in a way to achieve political goals. He is not against protecting children, and i told you the logic behind those two votes. You didnt even try to adress that. you just continued to reapeat the same wrong accusations. This dishonest representation of political positions is what is dividing this country. we can disagree on the best ways t
[quote]What I have said here is not misleading or giving false accusations.[/quote] Yes it is and I showed you why it is. You conveniently just ignored it. That is typical. You never answer the argument, you just repeat what you say. I told you how these two votes objected to methods which would not have achieved the objective of "protecting Children" and would have caused other problems. but you still accused him of allowing "evil" to harm children. the fact that he
[quote]"You are the sword. Life is the forge. And God is the smith." "What should I do?" said the man who looked for truth. "Give praise to God", said the honest man. [/quote] Amen. This is truly beautiful. and is true. We, humans, frequently ask :Why is forging must be so hard and painful? this story makes it clear that it may be a necessity to achieve the beauty and abilities of the sword. that is why. What is more, humans are aware of t
[quote]after all, it's his name, isn't it? Is his Muslim heritage a dark secret or something?[/quote] Absolutely not and that is why i said he should use it intentionally...... but he is not a Muslim, so why are you obsessed with his middle name? And if you like to know how his "heritage" affect his policies ..... why not just address the topic straight up? is this your way of presenting things "under the radar"? That is the kind of change we need Lula. we dont need t
[quote]Sad thing is he tells us nothing of HOW he is going to repair ANYTHING. [/quote] Then you are not listening. He says: We, with him, can bring the change we want and do the repairs we need. Isnt that what democarcy is? you just want to sit and let someone, him or anyother, tell us what we need to do? the country has many many people smarter and better to plan and execute the needed changes. All any smart president has to do is to ALLOW those smart and qualified people to
[quote]if the person's vote is based on absolutely nothing, it did more harm than good. [/quote] True. But the solution is not to prevent them from voting. Teach them even if you have to drag them to classes. it is difficult, i dont need anyone to tell me that. it is even very difficult. But who ever said that real democracy is cheap or easy or even not messy. that is its price. and it is still better than anyother way of picking a government. PS: this is a perfect example that
[quote]Define "Change" would you? [/quote] Simple Lula. a mentality that is not obsessed with someone's middle name as if it means something. Try that Lula. Change is refreshing and good for the soul. PS: If i had any connection to Obama's inner circle i will tell him start using your middle name intentionally in order to show it has no negative connotations whatsoever and to prove that the country, reds and blues, moved beyond that narrow view of things. I am so prou
These Wise Fools forced these two women to choose between the people of God and the people of the world. It seems that this kind of attitude from "professional" religious leaders is not restricted to only one of the 3-Big Ones. While in the middle east, and in one of the City's average-size mosques the Imam of that mosque was one of the best open-minded true-understanding type of Imams i have ever met. He told the follow
usually done under the radar, btw, but not necessarily of lying per se. WOW Lula !!!! I never thought you would say something like that Jesus will never approve of what you just said Lula. I will tell him about you :LOL: He was a straight-up guy. he would never say putting things under the radar is not "lying per se
[quote]Take heart, friend, you're not alone! [/quote] That is a great advice Daniel. Another thing you should know ... (You dont like people telling you that ... i know ) we all learn ALL the time from life and from others ... try doing the same thing. Think positive and you can overcome all kinds of life's problems.
[quote]When did I say kill it? [/quote] Did you propose these policies Ted? the lying and the intent to kill it was done by the policy makers ... not you. ok?
[quote]Need a job? What certifications do you have? I can use the extra help.[/quote] IT people work for me Doc, i manage the project's team including IT. You can't afford me anyway :LOL: And like i said so many times before .... it is not me or my job that i am talking about.
[quote]What's even scarier to me than these young people this young girl represents is the older folks who aren't much different.[/quote] That reminds me of what my wife told me in 2004: She was watching CNN and they were interviewing this middle-aged lady who looked very nice and all. They asked her "whom are you voting for". her answer went like this: George Bush of course, he is a Democrat and he is for the little guy. it is more serious than we all think.
I have been accused of not being balanced as well. ok Doc, you too
balance n: ..... 4: a state of equilibrium not balanced : not in a state of equilibrium And i thought you were sane sorry Gid, i just couldnt resist .....
[quote]We HAVE funds. Funds wasted on programs that have been shown time and time again to be a waste of money and contra to their purpose. No, we (as in the government I gather and I am using) do not need more funds[/quote] I did not say we need more funds ....at all. I said we need funds and that is why taxes exist . and i agree with your statement above. My problem is with people who say we DO NOT NEED to solve these problems.like Gid above. here is what he said in part:<br/
