Prez is slippin a little, but Rmoney is slipping, too...

If we pay you what the average general laborer in China or India makes, you're not going to be able to afford to live in this country.

What's the difference? some places have it scheduled for the weekend anyway... regardless of the weather. my nieces went this past saturday.

well, I'm not sure about your business, but I'm involved in quoting in our business. Our cost breakdown is a little different than yours apparently. 70-75% of the cost is material 15-20% of the cost is direct labor the other 10% is energy and overhead. it's unskilled labor, and the only reason it hasn't left is because the cost of shipping is so high. Blow molded products are hollow and light. it doesn't take a whole lot of pieces to fill up a crate, so what you end up shipping is a lot of air.

What I'm saying is, I don't care if you drop tax rates to zero, you're not competing in the unskilled labor market against china and india... they get paid next to nothing, and no american can survive in an american lifestyle on what they earn. So drop corp taxes to zero, we still get raped on direct labor costs. It's a worthless endeavor because nobody can afford to take those jobs.

that second case you mentioned is what I understood the common use for a birth certificate to be... at least in this country.

Clinton, Boom... federal surplus rather than deficit... So no examples that are inconvenient to your argument...because china only started manufacturing things in 2000 Right? I got an Idea, let's build a whole bunch of those state of the art foxconn style factories... EVERYONE WILL BE EMPLOYED! millions of jobs will come roaring back who cares if they are shit jobs that nobody wants, and the employees are constantly on suicide watch. Safety nets surround the dorms to keep people from jumping out their window to die in one last minor burst of enjoyment of life. I think we should focus on better jobs for the united states, more investment in research, so we can build the stuff of the future here.

If it had been done that way in every case, I could be persuaded to agree, but with the advent of sperm banks, ivf, and egg sales/donations, the parents listed on the birth certificate would be 2 strangers who may never have met each other or the "parents"... it's not practical in the real world.

ahhh hahaha.... I'm no Ringo man.

oh no no no, I was cranking it. If i had hit it solid with my body, it would have knocked me clear of the operator's position on the bike, then my luggage trunk would have crashed into me as the bike kept going.

If I'd have taken it to the face sheild...yikes....

I guess it's time to make a shotgun holster for the XX

I can't recall my first highway experience on a motorcycle... ... ... but, congrats. I don't mind the freeway if I'm in a hurry to get somewhere, but it tends to get quite boring.

yeah, that woulda been a headache.

actually linked brakes would make it easier, as it would auto-apply a little bit of rear, allowing him to keep his feet down. I really like how well my linked brakes work.

Was riding home last night, cruising down the road, minding my own business when I see some large "bird" (why birds get that large I'll never know) trying to fly across the road. Not sure if it was a turkey or a turkey vulture, but it was large, and flapping into my path.. Gave as much brake as I was comfortable with, and tucked my head down to the tank at the last minute. *CRACK!* I feel the feet/legs slap off the top of my helmet... Whew... lucky me that thing had gotten enough height before I got to it, a few inches lower and that could have really sucked.

easy touch on the front brakes, and keep it straight. Your rear brake would be all but worthless anyway if it's as steep as you're making it sound.

Kids =/= adults.... that's all I'm saying, they don't have experience and understanding that is required for good decision making. Lost in a fog of hormones and confusion, easily corrupted and manipulated.

NOW it is... during the late 90's early 00's, the income verification was waived for a bunch of these loans.

so a 14 yr old should be expected to make better decisions than an adult....noted.

Can I see your medical license?

it's a start...

No I end them that way when I don't see that statement being the last word on a given topic. sort of a soft "trailing off" of my thoughts and allowing for other opinions to be interjected.
