  2. but if we don't act irrationally then Osama bin Laden"s glorious vision of an America ground down economically will never come to past - we should immediately get bogged down again in the ME and spend huge amounts of money on security.
  3. I have yet met anyone who admits to feelings of terror - so how can there be terrorists?
  4. We should call this what it is - radical Salafi terrorism.
  5. Soft Cell- tainted love Nena- 99 Luftballons
  6. that was very sad in 2008
  7. Not only do very few Americans want to do those jobs but very few Americans could do those jobs physically even if they wanted to.
  8. aww you're ruining their fun
  9. wasn't the question about your lost of rights over the last 8 years? how long have we had civil asset forfeiture ? did the IRS suddenly when Obama came into office start making judgements about which groups qualify for tax exemption status or have they been making judgements all along?
  10. The American public being told their choice is Trump or Hillary
  11. T-rump says he can not be treated fairly by those with a Mexican heritage, Muslims, menstruating women, not my African-Americans or anyone with a strong bias against fraud oh and babies who get upset about a little good nature ribbing of the disabled
  12. Anyone who uses "over 90 million adults out of work" is either an idiot or a propagandist- which are you?

  14. U.S. businesses have now added 14.5 million jobs over 75 straight months, extending the longest streak on record. unemployment rate falls to 4.7%
  15. just going on what the Bills have him list as - 6,1 183lbs
  16. OK just a guess but Watson, Woods, Easley for ST if back from injury- Hankerson as our speed take the top off guy, Dezmin Lewis as our size jump ball guy and Boykin as our tough hands guy- Listenbee and Allen on practice squad Listenbee at around 6,1 180lbs sounds a little frail to make the team this year
  17. Friends don't let friends drive drunk or high Friends also don't video friends who are drunk or high
  18. 1. Corporations are incorporated somewhere, I'm sorry if you don't like the nation state as the organizing principle of modern western society. 2. Third world countries would not lose all investment, foreign companies would still get their labor 50% off and companies often taut reasons other than labor costs as reasons for moving such as logistics or opening markets- plus indigenous companies could still make use of very cheap labor although they'd have a harder time marrying that ultra cheap labor to cutting edge design, technology, and manufacturing processes. and oh yeah, circumstances don't matter as long as they have the right habits so any economy decimated will be sent "10 habits of the rich and successful" or "think and grow rich" or "rich dad poor dad" or one of the hundreds books of that ilk. lastly, exponentially? are you sure? what exponential function are you using? are you calculating savings in transportation costs? have you included CEOs and other management getting less, have you thought about how if companies are not improving their bottom line by going for the cheapest labor they may have to turn their efforts towards greater productivity, increased energy efficiency, product quality and "R and D" ? wouldn't at least some offshore companies stay and pay a higher rate and wouldn't that allow those lucky few thirdworlders buy more goods and services or send their children to college? and wouldn't a labor squeeze allow workers in the first world countries to increase their pay somewhat offsetting higher prices?
  19. Which is why instead of these free trade agreements the US spends immense effort and resources to attain, we need to spend those efforts and resources on a new multinational labor protection pact between first world countries that would force companies headquartered under those countries to pay at least 50% of the wages to offshore labor and to have identical safety and environmental standards.
  20. wages basically have three options for growth, government mandate, labor scarcity, or pressure from collective bargaining -if earnings are increased organized labor can ask/apply pressure for a portion of that increase.
