Anytime when it involves other peoples money. As long as they only hurt themselves, no one cares... except for making good reality TV.

Another canditiate turns down Nebraska http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1701642

So her initials are BJs hmmm....

What is minimum wage times 20?

It could be enough. If the pols who screw the youths get voted out of office, it doesn't matter how much money they raise from the old timers (like yourself )

So why couldn't they do the samething today? Hell it would probably be easier what with the internet and wireless communications, to organize mass amounts of people and funds, if the youth of this country actually cared about anything.

It did in the 60's and 70's.

Heck include half of the IF in that list too

Me and Kap almost got beat up by a guy who is now in the NHL for wearing paper bags over our heads to a minor league hockey game. The guy actually got thrown out of the game in the first period and then spent the rest of the game in the press box looking for us.

Or if this team turns out as bad I it could, maybe the paper bags would be more appropriate...

Don't kid yourself. The most underrepresented age group is 18-25, and that is because they vote less than anyother age group. If they voted with the percentages that the seniors do, laws would look very different.

Nope not at all. Espesially if Koch is back next year Because this year I am bringing projectiles!

Most likely less.

At work or in bed?

Oh let me guess, you have inside info

The problem is it is causing so many accidents that everyone insurance premiums are affected. In other words you and I are paying because of idiots wrecking their cars doing stupid s*** like this. Remember "the right to swing your arms ends at anothers nose."

Unless some serious changes are made, it still won't matter. The rich will still be able to call in favors and get their kids out of the draft. All it does is insure that the poor will die for the riches policies. At least this way poor people have a choice in the matter.

I met my wife at a HS basketball game

I doubt it. IIRC they had tons of evidence against him. You don't accuse the all time hits leader in baseball of that kind of a crime with out just cause. Like I said, if anything he ISN'T admitting to stuff.

It would depend on how heavy the flight away from the US markets is. 15% being out of US money is a ton. Without knowing the elasticity of the Dow, that would be a lot of sell pressure on the stocks. And actually IMO with the mob mentality that is the equities it would probably encourage domestic selling. Really it could be a heavy weight on the pshyce of the US. It would be an interesting dance of whether increased profits of US companies could offset decrease in foreign investment.

Or even more recently weren't a bunch of athletes sent off to Vietnam as well? Muhammed Ali IIRC?

Well this is my personal theory. This is George Bush's way of correcting the trade imbalance. What has happened is the Euro has gone from trading about par (floor talk for 100) all of the way up to 127/128 in the last couple of days. The effect this had is anything that is an import from Europe now costs almost 30% more when translated to dollars. It also means any export to Eur now is 30% cheaper to buy there when translanted into Euro's. Simply put this should make it easier to sell our goods overseas, while making it much more difficult to sell their stuff here. It is like a tariffs that the WTO doesn't have any control over. While that part looks good on the surface, the danger comes in foreign investment. If IIRC about 15% of the money in the US equities markets comes from outside of the US. (that is one in seven dollars) The effect this has is that yeah the dow was up 20% on the year, but if you were a European invester, you actually lost money in terms of real Euro's because those dollars are worth 30% less than they were when you bought the Dow. If this slide keeps up foreign money will take flight from the US, and most likely go to Europe or Japan where the currencies are strong, as well as the stock markets. If people start selling stocks, the markets will go right back into the toilet. So in short to me, it will be interesting to see where the dollar settles into. It could be huge for the economic recovery.

I spent sometime thinking about it last night, and was curious if anyone else had any thoughts. I am wondering what other points of view are out there. It actually was a great question, so I stole it.

Or definition 3 "3 : very great"
