  1. I'd argue would it benefit my children to take a second job or go to college part time for 5-8 years during their development? There's a line you have to draw. My opinion is no, I would rather raise my children to think family time is more important and invest in them. Again My family isn't starving, but we are far from the 20% of Americans. We are further to the right of the 80 percent than most. That I will agree. I'm fine with our situation, I am responsible, I'm not complaining I want more money, I want a better distribution of wealth for America. the country would benefit as a whole not a very few.
  2. Nobody wants to talk about education part from the video? It doesn't disturb anyone that in that LA town there are 2 schools one private, one public, Panthers and Rebels? Really? One graduates 100% the other less than 75% and there are no scholarships available to attend the private school. K Let's be honest who watched the CNN video... There are some pretty fucked places in this country. That place in LA is unbelievable.
  3. Quick background, I have Apple products, yes, but it's all from 2008. Where we lived way below our means and had the cash. I have the original iPad, original AppleTV, Time Capsule and MacBook Airs. The only updated Apple product I own is my phone. I spend $200 a year on Apple hardware. My first STI took 6 years to pay off and died in an accident 25 days after pay off, didn't even have the title shipped to me yet. I then had almost a 50% down payment for my second one. Sorry yeah I'm not blowing cash, and we have no Credit card debit. I have retirement, house and college funds as bills along with the obvious bills.
  4. BTW I'm ok stating I'm not educated enough to solve the issues, or smart enough to understand everything. But it's hard to ignore some facts put in front of you. I don't claim to be an expert in anyway shape or form. My Opinion is it's disgusting 2 out of every 10 people in this country hold 93% of the wealth. I'm not going to argue in this thread, my goal here is to maybe have some small percentage of members here just watch the long videos and think about them. That is all.
  5. Brainwashed And you fall into the category of not watching the video, before posting. Thanks for giving it a chance before posting.
  6. First video and article I doubt many will actual sit through http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/29/opinion/sutter-lake-providence-income-inequality/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Second video some may have already seen, but many will not watch either because it doesn't have cats in it. http://www.columbusdiscgolf.com/IMAGES/Chart.jpg http://www.columbusdiscgolf.com/IMAGES/Chart2.jpg http://www.columbusdiscgolf.com/IMAGES/Chart3.jpg I will argue that almost all of CR falls in the 8 out 10 group. Maybe a few are barely outside of the 8 out of 10. Still consider yourself middle class? I don't consider my family middle class anymore. I work and so does my wife. We pay our taxes, but it's time to cut into the pockets of rich Americans and corporations, they can afford it. Since CR likes pics more than words: http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/131028104247-ctl-providence-4-story-top.jpg http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/131028104639-ctl-providence-9-story-top.jpg http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/131028104806-ctl-providence-11-story-top.jpg Look at the Depression era: http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/131028104028-ctl-providence-1-story-top.jpg Then look at the present. http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/131028104133-ctl-providence-2-story-top.jpg keep bitching about poor people getting $1500 in food stamps when conservative rural America receives $20k on average in "welfare" in this area of Louisiana. Cliffs: Shit is broken and almost all of CR falls in the bottom 7% of America, including myself and family. Racisim is alive and well all over America. Ask yourself next time how far removed you are from someone you perceive to be "poor". I'll argue you are not that far ahead. Only a few here are. Flame away CR, it's the internet.
  7. Guy at my work said his buddy cut his hand last year and refused to give the hospital his name. They stitched him up and out the door he went without paying a dime.
  8. What I have found is The 22PLE that Andy put on my gold rims repelled most dust, and what did stick came right off with a hose.
  9. I've used EBC reds ceramic, good in the summer, in the winter I would drag the brakes a bit to warm them up in the beginning of my drive. If I didn't they felt like they were "wet". I just bought some Cosworth Street Pads to tryout. They will be here Tuesday.
  10. Seriously it sounds fucking stupid but, that video has made me a happier person! I try to implement that everyday, and I feel better everyday. Some days it's really hard, others meh. I don't want my kids growing up being miserable. I want to set a good example. They see everything surprisingly.
  11. Why, because we are not miserable negative glass half empty people? Ok I'M Wierd. Give this a try, I try to take this advise everyday. And choose my attitude. It's hard, but when I remind myself 1st world problem. I laugh and realize it's not a problem. Traffic is nothing.
  12. Thanks, wife is going with her Dad.

  15. Someone pissed in Brian's Cheerios this AM.
  16. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/23/2azyvaje.jpg I was prepared Monday evening.
  17. So excited, best time of year!
  18. Right, pre-school is expensive. I'm not believing that at all. Priorities, dude. My daughter went to daycare at 18 months and continued through pre-school. At first I felt like shit, then you see how awesome it is for the kids and their social development. My daughter is so out going now. Kids need to be around other kids to develop, when they are surrounded by only adults all the time, when school time comes it's awkward for them. Too-small is a cop-out. Quit posting here about the cost of race cars, and get your kid in pre-school it's what you should be figuring out how to pay for. Not cars and race cars. Call me an asshole, but I'm being blunt and honest. If you haven't seen what the state is pushing for curriculum in kindergarten now, you better. Kindergarten is not what I remember it to be when I was a kid. My daughter had homework every day. 1st grade is crazy with reading because of the 3rd grade mandate of reading level by the end of 3rd grade, if they don't pass the reading test in 3rd grade they are held back, no exceptions now. It's automatic.
  19. You are a fucking moron. -Jones
