Sadly, most days it is instant, but at least it's Bustello or Pilon. quit, you are making me jones for one from a proper coffee shop

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 08:46 AM) It is technically a "public showing" which is illegal without proper compensation or permission. The one exception is movies which are in the public domain. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 09:18 AM) Our school system here could very well be wrong, but that is what they told our teachers. I guess there have been districts where parents have actually caused problems over the movie policy. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 09:22 AM) They specifically mentioned it based on the legal side of things, not on the educational. Exactly the same thing I was just told regarding a local school district, if it says for "private home use" it is not allowed.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 07:44 AM) AP Headline this morning: Obama is pressed into role as national healer. This is what I mean. STFU, media. Yes, I'm glad he's going and he should go. But now he's our "national healer"? This is why the politics of all this gets sick. It's not what he does, it's how it's spun. Do you mean like Bush the Decider standing on a mound of rubble with a bull horn? Then I say yes! How it is spun is very important. Reagan's greatest legacy was as cheerleader. A bigger than life cowboy riding in to save the day after a decade of impotent b.s. When we feel strong as a nation good s*** happens.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 07:23 AM) ?? He's going to Texas today to meet with the families and then do a memorial service. Unless you're saying the fact that he didn't immediately drop everything he was doing and fly out within an hour of finding it happened is somehow insulting? In today's political climate, if he left immediately, he would have been accused of using this tragedy to promote himself. And it is tough to really complain, Bush went through it and of course Clinton's second term was all about him "wagging the dog". What we need to bring the nation together is a major event. It will not be something good, because there will be fights over credit, etc. It will be some huge national threat so that we put aside petty political b.s. The last time we were together as a nation was 9-11. For about 3 days, then we started playing the blame game and it hasn't stopped.

tell you what, they would be in a much better place. Both on the field and off

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 04:26 PM) More money is circulation means more people are spending money. More people spending money means more income is being generated, more income means more taxes are getting paid. Since you will not answer who is paying the higher revenue, I will assume you agree that more income taxes are being paid by us. And now we are paying for the current spending, plus the prior spending, plus the interest on the deficit. Plus, that would mean incomes are rising, something we are against in certain sectors because rising wages makes those products uncompetitive. (Autos for one) We agree that more money being spent generates more income. We cut someone's taxes and they decide to save that dollar, or spend it on a foreign vacation, or to buy a made overseas item, the effect is not as strong. The only entity we can be 100% guaranteed to spend the money is the government. Of course I would rather you and I spend the money than the government This all changes when we are rebating taxes because there is a surplus! The politician or party that pulls that off will have my vote forever. My objection is the bribing for votes that cutting taxes without changing spending brings. As you said, the bulk of the taxes are being paid by the middle class and above. I don't foresee that changing in the next couple decades. So those deficits will be paid by us, the middle class, with interest. When did a balanced budget become a liberal idea? I find it funny that during the 1990s with the GOP's "Contract For America" you would have been on the Dem side fighting against it and I would have been the GOPerhead.

I understand that, however, you are missing my point. Revenues go up. OK I will accept that. Revenues going up mean someone is depositing more money. Who is that and what tax are they paying? Simple question. If you and I aren't accounting for those higher revenues, it must be corporations, and as you have always pointed out, corporations pass that on to the consumers.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 01:10 PM) I wonder how much longer the game will stay televised for me before it gets switched to another game. I don't think they came back for the 2nd half here in Texas. I had had enough so switched to playing mafia wars on facebook.

Really appreciate that someone caught the use of the apostrophe and Fox went to the Packer - Buck game. Bye Bye Bears

not much interest in the 2nd half of the Bear's Cardinal's game

All these agreements, Jordan and the school, the school and Adidas, are all worth the money they were written on. Kudos to Nike to make a shoe without logos, seems like a nice gesture to Adidas. Nike could not say publicly, hey if Adidas drops you, we will take over, that seems a little slimy. But will anyone be surprised when Nike steps in and plays the role of savior? Frankly, I would be really shocked if Nike wasn't pulling some of the strings in his decision, etc.

When did they switch to a track meet? Oops that was a AZ running play. And fathom, always understating your opinion

This is my first chance to see the Bears, is the defense really that bad? f*** this, and the special teams coach better review what is a live ball and when to run away.

lol mr editor

Just restarted the que.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 10:03 AM) It is a great example of what the left wing is trying to do at the federal level. The government can't be all things to all people. Trying to do that is going to lead to a collapse. In Cali all they are doing is blaming the last in a long line of people who have made this mess. This didn't just start. I agree with you. But the other side is as bad with the government is terrible and can do nothing for you. Wish we had a new crop of leaders that understood the truth was somewhere in the middle.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:46 AM) Then you didn't read it. Who pays the additional revenue? I'll even give you a hint, it's the good looking guy we both see in the mirror each morning.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:09 AM) I have said this before, but you really need to study the multiplier effect. And we went through and we never found where that $1 became anything more than $1. Bottom line, someone pays the higher revenues. At best it shifts the tax from someone to someone else. After the cut, who pays more and who pays less? Someone is making those higher payments. Who?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:02 AM) Economic growth - the private sector, individuals and corporations. So we took a cut, then paid it back later? Meanwhile the deficit forced money to be borrowed, so we paid the cut back with interest.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:01 AM) Come on, you're not this naive. True, and you are not naive to think Reagan wasn't equally to blame. Reagan wanted higher and higher spending on his pet projects (mostly military). To get that, he allowed spending on everyone's pet projects. (or at least almost everyone's). We were feeling good and invincible and wracked up huge debts. Reagan also sold the public on the "Peace Dividend", once the Soviet Union was neutered, we could reduce spending to levels well below the era prior to the build up. Of course we never could reduce the spending, there was no peace dividend. The GOP became the spend and cut tax party and the DEMs became the spend and don't tax party.
