    "Fair Tax"

    The correct way to phrase it is "Only individuals pay taxes." Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  2. No, THIS is why the children don't get healthcare: Irresponsible parents. The end. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  3. Watch out, rehmwa...she's putting your parody to shame. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  4. various answers: Idrankwhat - Pelosi and Reid, of course, they wrote the letter, Rush was just the middleman Billvon - Al Gore Rushmc - Rush Limbaugh rocks Lucky - Bill Clinton and the DNC, (4 pages of stuff pasted on the end for each line, preemptive defensive stance) Kallend - We spent a lot more that $4M on an worthless war NCClimber (reply to Kallend) - You WOULD say that Anvil - Tequila is sexy ExAFO - My cat's butt stinks Amazon - Rush is constipated by idiotic oil money suppositories Lawrocket - [[something serious and insightful, but it doesn't matter as the rest will just read one line and return to their pet projects]] Rehmwa - [[doesn't matter, most people just skip over that guy's posts as habit by now]] Haha, very nice! Although you need to throw in randomly capitalized words into Amazon's line. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  5. I'm a die-hard fan of the 9mm in autoloaders. Magazine capacity is a huge factor for me, and the 9mm ammo made for self-defense will put someone on their ass just as surely as a .40 will, provided your shot placement is good. Still, I'm no hater, and the .40 is a great round. The USP is an excellent piece, but I'd take my Walther over it any day. Hope you're happy with whatever you choose!

  6. Rush pretty much wins this match. Comedy points to Reid for trying to horn in on the credit for this idea, though. That's a shit-ton of money going to help the soldiers' families, in any case. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  7. Sigh . . . I personally think a single asshole you'll probably never see again is a horrible motivation for making that decision, but if you do decide that you need to do that, hopefully you'll get some training or already have some. Also, check your local laws because I seriously doubt having the gun would have made matters any better. You do realize that you can't even legally carry it, even unloaded, in the passenger compartment in California; right? (There may be exceptions . . . ) What exactly would you have done with the gun; brandish it? Fire it? Does that really seem like that would have "helped" the situation? It may not have helped in this particular situation, but you never know how a situation can escalate. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  8. Thanks for making everything so clear for me -- I take it all back...not. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  9. Ummm...so is this where I say "But by all means keep attacking him! It will keep this issue going for months."? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  10. Signed. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  11. ...who did not take offense at what Rush Limbaugh said about phony soldiers because they knew whom his comments were directed at. If we get enough signatures, maybe Billvon will give his new pet issue a rest. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  12. That gives me an idea for a thread. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  13. I never said one way or the other about which form of taxation is worse. This is a thread about the inheritance tax, so that's what I've stuck to talking about. Worthy of what? Not getting taxed? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  14. Why should you pay anything at all? Just borrow the money the government needs to run the country, it's the Reagan/Bush way. That wasn't my question. Consider it commentary on your question. Man, so this is what it feels like to get one of Kallend's haughty, dismissive, and dodgy one-liners. I feel like I've accomplished something .

  16. Hah, a "true democracy". I don't think you really want that. We live in a Constitutional Democratic Republic, not a true democracy. In a true democracy, rights are not protected. Anything goes, so long as the majority agrees. If, for example, the majority voted to outlaw Muslims, then so be it. Yup. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  17. Why should you pay anything at all just because of your parent's business? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  18. Hah, a "true democracy". I don't think you really want that. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  19. It is the CONCLUSION that is important, not the reports that get you there. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  20. Why does it need to be worse? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  21. Because equities and cash can easily be divided up, while a farm or business cannot. They're not nearly as liquid. I gave some illustrations. My point exactly. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  22. Not Al Gore. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  23. Soooo, what happens to the people who inherit the family's farm? The wealth of the dead person is in land, not money. Should those people lose the farm? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  24. Odd...I didn't see an actual assault rifle anywhere. What do you suppose they're talking about? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  25. Perhaps it is a sign of hope that former active Bush supporters are now reduced to attacking the literary style of their leader's critics. When I start leading the govt in shitting on the constitution, feel free (in your TV news, alliterative style) to 'Junk Jen'. Ok, I know this is between you and Law, but this is too annoying not to comment on. It's not your literary style. It's something you said that is drawing these comparisons between you and Bush. As for your plea to not criticise you, I'd start learning to handle the heat. You're in the Speaker's Corner now. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
