    hmm, well we had more jobs and better economic growth in periods with high taxes and heavy government regulation. So perhaps the corporations can't be trusted to do it themselves, they need to be 'regulated' into helping out American citizens. which is what a lot of liberals are trying to do. A lot of large corporations care nothing more than their bottom line - pure capitalism yes, but does nothing for jobs or the economy - other than their own internal economy. If we over-regulate and they all leave? Oh well, that is fine. Others will start corporations to replace them. Everyone will still need toilet paper, gas and cars, food, and clothing. The market is actually there. Canada, heavy taxes, high regulation, and 7.5% unemployment Why do suppose THAT is sir?

    I know of companies that have continued to build things and expand, despite whatever bullshit excuse might be out there. So first it was corporate taxes, then the downturn in the economy. Now it is 'fear of the government'. So once we get rid of government, do you suppose THEN they might hire someone? what a load of shit. sorry dude, but you are far smarter than that lame-ass excuse. fear of the government?? - corporations practically RUN the government in this country. get real.

    if these are 2010 stats, then why are they not hiring then? It's May 2011 already..... where's the jobs? Florida still has massive unemployment, I see no correlation between corporate profits and hiring. I also see no correlation between corporate taxes and hiring

    I have read a lot of the Bible and did Bible study from kindergarten until i was 18. I am not sure I have ever seen a Koran. not interested in even picking it up. The OT and NT were such contradictions to each other and within each others covers, i realized it was all bull by the time I was 14.

    the whole of pakistan as a government and a military is marginal at what they do. so incompetence and corruption is rampant. I doubt the whole of Pakistan knew that Obama was there, but I expect fundamentals within the ranks were aiding him and probably still are aiding the Taliban etc. Not much different than the radicals we have within our military and our government. They are pursuing their self interests, aiding outsiders, even participating in activist and radical movements to further their goals. it does not reflect on the USA as a country and we have a better system in place to filter them out - but we still fail from time to time.

    Is that kinda like Jesus H. Christ!!

    why is it so believable that Bin Laden was not killed or whatever? 50% or so of people seem to think that Obama was not born in the USA and some believe that the moon landing was faked. I try to ignore them and hoep thy go away. When that does nto work - kick them in the nuts and then run away. Doesn't change anything, but at least i feel better....

    you will actually go to hell for a variety of reasons. The reasons will vary and will change with time, with the specific religion and mostly the reasons will change depending on who is telling you that you are going to hell. Mostly they are trying to sign you up. For others it is just a twisted power thing, and there are others (somewhat respected that have posted here) that openly state that you have to do NOTHING to go to hell. Some will even tell you that if they fuck you in the ass and then you tell someone, that you will go to hell. Which is primarily why religion, all of it, it a crock. If you need some spirituality in your life, that may be fine. Set your own standard, but do NOT, under any circumstances, blindly follow the rantings of any single ministry.

    so the system is broken or at least flawed. Amazing that something does not work perfectly. So the naysayers should probably fuck off then until the SSA proves that his number is invalid. jesus fucking christ, we have 3 wars, a deficit beyond fucking belief, the country is broke, 12% unemployment, 30,000 children starve to death in the world every day and someone wants to fight over a SSN? People need to get their fucking priorities straight......
  12. tkhayes
    well if that is false, then where does the story come from of Obama having the same SSN as someone from decades ago? Not disagreeing with you, just wondering how the numbers get doled out. I expect that they did not start with '1' and I expect no one will ever get 999-99-9999 either
  13. tkhayes
    you are surprised that social security numbers get reused from time to time? There is only 9 digits, that is 999,999,999 people, and there are 300,000,000 alive today. I guess once you are DEAD, and some time has passed, that a number could and would be reused. That does not mean it has been stolen. And the question you ask is not a question for Obama, it is a question for the Social Security Administration. now stop being a twit. your ranting is making me want to spend more money on public education.....

    What's George doing in a room filled with such qualified people? That's like a eigth grader lecturing foreign policy at the Un or something.... If all those experts were in attendance, they should not have to listen to an idiot like GWB, they could probably figure it out themselves.....

    I thought this thread was about politicians that lie - not the sideshow that seems to be happening. Is anyone really surprised that politicians lie?

    I systematically and consciously try to fit into the 'pattern' from opening to landing. I may overtake people or people may overtake me, but I am constantly adjusting based on where I am and where everyone else is. If I am the first one down I try to set a good pattern and landing direction.

    "Survivors of Canopy COllisions" I am one, Kallend is one. Who else? What have you done to change the way YOU fly a parachute today?

    the only problem with that is that if your Argus is in one of the rigs that has banned it, then you are violating federal aviation regulations, your rigger is violating federal aviation regulations, and you are putting your pilot's certificate in jeopardy by jumping in their plane, because effectively they are also violating federal aviation regulations.

    sure, nothing good came out of NASA and moon missions other than compact power tools, battery technology, rocket and energy technology, solar, water and waste management, metal development, human physiology studies, medical advances, drug development........

    wow, that's as good as it gets? One diplomatic expulsion results in a USA man-hunt for Assange, treason, conspiracy and solitary confinement for Manning with a possible death penalty? That is all you got? Really? wow.
  22. tkhayes
    I never said Manning was innocent, nor did I refer to him as my hero. Assange is my hero. Manning is probably in a world of shit. I do believe that Manning will not be treated fairly in a trial. I also believe that he will spend years in solitary confinement before ever getting to a trial, if he ever does. That is wrong IMO

    OK I am inconsistent in one statement. Does that default to every that I ever said or believe to be true is now defunct, non-existent and removed from all use in the universe? If OJ is innocent, then so is Assange. plain and simple. Before I get accused of 'inconsistent' after clarifying what I said, I would still assert that there is a legal difference between 'not guilty' and 'innocent' example: http://www.adsense2.com/duvall/innocent.html So I am actually allowed to believe that OJ was not innocent of murder, and yet I still agreed that he was found not guilty.(obvious). There is plenty of evidence to discuss. gloves, DNA, bigoted police officers, etc. What evidence is there to discuss with Assange? Any. hello? anyone??
  24. tkhayes
    I have not anywhere asked for the whole case to be laid out. In fact I have asked multiple times for even a shred of a single example of treason, espionage, or whatever you want to call it....and have not received any yet. What I did get, multiple times, was something along the lines of "just because you cannot see the damage does not mean there isn't any..." and that is witch hunt talk and not worthy of any courtroom. It is here-say and meets no legal definitions of evidence whatsoever. So let me clarify for you one more time (again)" Show me some evidence, not the whole case and try not to answer the question with a question.....
  25. tkhayes
    he was found 'not guilty' I beg to differ. Innocence and guilt are two different things in the legal system. Perhaps lawrocket could provide a better example of that, but I know that the difference exists. Let me clarify..... I BELIEVE that OJ got away with murder. He was found not guilty. If he was found 'innocent' then he could not likely have been found 'liable' in the civil case that followed. That might be a vague example, but I know that there is more to the definitions than that.
