When did I4E move to Hawaii? Not cool dude. You may wish to re-think and hit edit, or not. :headshake

LOL, When I was in HS, at least I had the decency to annoy my parents with my music. Led Zepplin could always drown out Conway Twitty. Now I'm borrowing my kids stuff. Good economics for him. "Hey dad, would you split the cost for the White Album CD?" gets me reaching in my pocket where "hey dad, the new Aerosmith 8-track is out, can I borrow a few bucks?" never worked for me At least I didn't air drum and head bang

I may have embarrassed #1 son at school today. I drive him to school every morning, and we were waiting in line at the drop area. Three guys in a F150 pulled up next to us with their stereo blasting a local radio station Now I'm an old school rocker from the 70s and happened to be in the front row at the Aragon Brawl Room during AC/DC's Back in Black tour, and cannot let a great song go. Rockford Fosgate was a customer of mine and I happen to have a decent, at least better than the PoC in the F150, system. So I cranked my stereo to join in the metal moment. I think I received a detention from the teacher who was monitoring the line My son is pissed that his dad got yelled at by a teacher, like that never happened to *me* before I told him no one would care, or in fact, they may think you have a cool dad. So what is it? Cool? or Not Cool?

which reminds me

Gash, What are the tech specs on the computer, ISP, and the camera? I have been thinking about doing this with my parents and in-laws. What all is involved? Thanks, Jim

How about fight to the death? Once they are wounded do they toss aside their weapons and just lie there waiting for the enemy? Are you stating that proper procedure is shooting wounded soldiers? What happens when the enemy believes they cannot surrender?

Maybe Bill likes having his malebox filled, if you know what I mean . . .

I am going to hell for lmao I wonder if alcohol may have been involved? Poor bastard. RIP

He was on the phone listening to his girlfriend "but baby I brought a car" "you expect me to ride in a Talon!? What kind of a woman do you think I is? If you is going to date a fine woman like me, yuse got to steal a better set of wheels"

So you believe the government will just leave retirees with nothing? Those individuals that are living on SS will suddenly have nothing to pay the rent, buy food, medicine? Wow.

LMAO, I didn't think of that. This guy ought to just move to Siberia or somthing after he gets out of jail.

I'm from Texas, I love the victim kicks the criminal's ass stories. Plus he got beat up by a woman. That is not going to help his street cred. Think he's buddy is working up a rhyme?

As much as I love these stories, I have to ask myself, was it worth risking serious injury or death to get a car back? I do not grieve about something that cannot grieve for me. I'm glad they got their car back, but imagine if he did pull a gun.

Do we agree that SS has some serious financial challenges ahead? Do we agree that the US government would never shut down a government run retirement program (regardless of what name it has) leaving workers with zero income? Do we agree that the government cannot continously run deficits to pay for all this without collapsing? Do we agree that SS should be the last piece of the retirement planning. That basic needs should be first met by your own investments, 401K, etc? But SS would keep someone from starving and freezing to death? Do we agree that Americans have ample opportunity to direct their non-SS retirement savings via investments, choices with-in their 401k, if they choose to buy or lease a home, life style while working, and other such avenues?

No, no. What I am asking is to clarify what you mean by ss cannot be saved. Will it be replaced by anything, or do you believe the government will get out of all retirement plans for senior citizens?

What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean we will just stop sending checks? We will not pay $1 to any retirees? What do you see for retirees in 2010, 2020, etc.? I believe we can provide retirement help for all citizens. I believe we can provide enought to keep someone from starving or freezing to death. Can they play golf 4 times a week, and take an Alaskan cruise? Nope, not fully funded by their SS checks.

Interesting reading for those that still read the media More at link

BTW, since we are discussing beheadings. I recently read that there is a black market business in these kidnappings. The guys that actually kidnap the person sells the person for $X and then they move again for $X+, on up the line. The ones doing the snatching and reselling are not motivated by religous views, they are motivated by greed and easy money. Many of these people are just criminals. We do not think of most crimes in this country as being committed by religous extremists. Last year 599 people were murdered in Chicago. Were any of these religous fanatics? If this was Iraq and not Chicagp, how would we view these murders?

There is nothing inheritly wrong with comparing one thing to another. In a comparison such as this, we noted the differences. Comparing doesn't always default to similarities. One could compare Valentin's contribution to baseball with Hawking's to physics. We would find one is grossly different than the other. We could also compare Lee's and Konerko's contributions to the Sox and find a great deal of similarities. I believe you mean that drawing a conclusion that both are equally the same in evil deeds is wrong. I like your analogy regarding the KKK. Extremism, to anything is usually unhealthy. Check and balance works.

It's a good number, I was just wondering if you were offering some government guarantee. My concern is this will place SS squarely as the main and only retirement planning even more people make. I prefer a solution where SS is the insurance if your other planning fails. I believe when SS becomes your main focus, you will not have as nice a retirement as one would expect. So since it is the place of last resort, I prefer to see less risk than letting people chose which companies to bet on.

Technically speaking, isn't spam already cooked? LMAO at who the lucky target is. Some would call it SPAM, some would call it customer service calls from people staring at the blue screen of death.

I wonder if they also aired Saving Private Ryan and risked that fine.

If you are going to limit it to a number of mutual funds, why not just require the government to invest in those same funds? How are you coming up with a worse you can do is 5%? Who is going to give the US Government Seal of Approval on the Mutual Funds? Could you imagine the other funds sitting by and accepting that? Could you imagine companies that would be left out, via a government fund, sitting idly by? Can you imagine what happens when big campaign contributor is in and no campaign contributor in the same industry is left out? Why not invest in the US Government via bonds?

If Jay was a poster here, you'd be praising him to the heavans for that post. If you build computers, you cannot tell Intel to go screw themelves, and if you want to win a WS you cannot tell the biggest agent in baseball to go screw himself. And as far as overbid/underbid, whenever you sign a free agent you overbid and all the other teams underbid. It's like an auction, the high bidder is the team that spends the most. Sometimes you guess right and the player turns out to be a bargain, other times you guess wrong and he's a dud.
