Apparently people on campus think I'm a 21 year old Junior.

The last three girls that I've hit on have thought that I was a junio (one of them was married, but thats another story) and some kid came up to me today and asked me if I could make a packy run for him.

For the time being, I'm just rolling with it.

Wouldn't a true fiscal conservative just reply that all of those (income distribution, unemployment and affordable health care) are market forces and that, under the guidance of laizzes faire policies the market will sort itself out?

Because, all of this to me, is just problems of the government meddilling in something that they should stay way out of.

By looking into a company's accounts to check for their exports and dividing it by the number of workers to denote their share. It might not be accurate but its the best way of denoting someone their share.

But under our laws of property and our basic Capitalist system, they don't own any shares of this product, there simply assembling it.

Complete ownership would still fall to the firm that owns it, and if it is a public firm, the shareholders.

Report:

The Jonas Brothers should be dragged out to the street and shot for all this purity ring bullshit that they have.

I love the idea of a person invoking celibacy, thats great.

I hate the whole ring thing, it's pretentious and vain.

The idea of celibacy has been around for a while, and this ring shit is new.

What ever happened to personal motivation and individual strenght, not blasting your morality off to the world.

People, he hasn't even had an MRI yet, how the hell are we supposed to know anything?

Ah yes, of course because a phantom "member" who shall not be named of the Patriots said Cassel was the starter.

Regardless, even if Brady is still out for the season we can still make fun of Kansas City for sucking so bad that they lost to a backup.

Response to: An alternative measure of economy Posted September 7th, 2008 in Politics

The problem would be though, is how do you denote someone thier share of an export?

For industries that provide a service, this would be easily solved, but do you fix it for blue collar workers?

As a Lawyer shouldn't he know that it's the courts that decide whether or not criminal activity was being planned.

These people were raided, under legal limits prescribed by the Constitution and the Supreme Court on Search and Siezure, were found with items and substances that would imply criminal activity and add reasonable cause for the actions of the cops.

Honestly, what are you complaining about? That you don't like the laws that are in place that the cops followed to the T, or do you just like to rebel with no reason?

This was simply one stupid splinter group that gives the vast majority of protesters that did it peacefully and in an organised manner a bad name.

Oh Dear God

College seems to be working out well.

Suite Crashdown (as I have so lovingly called it for it's residents) is working out fine. For a suite full of drug users, it's not that bad.

My next door room has a heroine junky and some kid that likes shrooms (the herione kid is crashing right now, he's passed out in the bathroom in the rescue position), we also have the standard pot heads, the barbituate and valium users and traditional alchoholics like me.

More then likely I'm not going to see 95% of them after the first semester or two (not sure if they go to classes) but it's generally pretty good.

So why would he be Despot.

Beyond the fact that he can't in our government and the fact that he isn't in power yet, so he doesn't have the potential to be one, do you have any other words or terms to use.

No, mathematics is one of the prime components of Philosophy and Metaphysics,as Logic and the various forms of deduction are math based in them self.

Back in the day, when philosphers like Kant and Hegel would argue about monids, math was one of the few things that they could use to make it sound like they weren't on acid and there theories were actually right.

And I learned all this from Lord Russell's History of Western Philosophy, the best book to read on this.

Unfortunately, at my school Pre Law is a major/minor, so I'm Poli Sci major and an Economics minor.

Response to: Saint Hussein Posted September 4th, 2008 in Politics

He won't be a martyr but more of a symbol, much as Slobidon Milosevich was.

That when coupled with an uneducated population with deep seated anger towards some minority, be it religous or ethnic, it's easy to rise to power, if one is charismatic and iron willed enough, and to completely dominate his people as long as he continues these campaigns in favor of his peoples prejiduces.

Response to: Whites soon a minority in US? Posted September 4th, 2008 in Politics

To be fair, wouldn't this just be a largely localized effec though.

Under the guise of our Federalist states, such area's of the country like New England and the Midwest are still going to be thier predominantly white area's in the country, all that's going to happen is the area where Hispanics or Blacks congregate (The Southwest and South) are just going to get more.

So unless there is another great migration, all we will have is just differing variety for each area.

With your logic, if you ever didn't pay attention in class it's because your parents didn't install the value of loving education enough, you drank before your 21, you parents are alchoholics who can't install values to not drink when there 21 and etc etc.

What your basically showing is the same level of logic and rational thought that an autistic child would show.

Because it is the moral responsibility of a Christian mother to plant from an early age the knowledge that marriage is a prerequisite to having sex. Her failure to adequately teach this idea is a show of a fundamental lack of effort.

This might come as a big suprise, but what about that the idea that the daughter simply made her own choice on the matter.

As much as parents can teach thier children, it's the child's choice to choise whether or not to follow the parents, it does not imply a lack of parental leadership.

I think it shows even more strengh that she's accepting of this and is willing to help her daughter out.

Honest to god you people are despicable.
