except for it isnt the republicans who are pushing this..... I stand by your statement however if you replace republicans with the actual group who are pushing this

but it IS an issue because while they are wasting time on this, spending money on this, they could be putting resources in places that actually need them

how about this. Instead of us having to prove why we dont need to grow the government, How about the government prove to us that the things is does have a point to them.

dont forget north carolina, That place is a boom these days as well

is that the new product from apple? the iANAL?

If I am reading this correctly, Would this not mean that the federal government no longer has standing to hide behind "national security" when it comes to denying freedoms or bringing people to court without a warrant?

in the late 90s in my high school we would have our principal come out to the student parking lot and talk about hunting with the rednecks in their trucks with their rifles in the back window. I remember one time by principal asked by buddy if he could see the rifle, and my friend took it off the mount, handed it to the principal and he checked it out for a good 5 minutes, handed it back and it got locked back in the visible mount in the truck. There were never any problems in my schools This didnt even stop with columbine, although I hear it has stopped as of now

ok, and if someone pays me 10K, I now have 9K in profit, so I can buy a bigger truck or new tools, and build a bigger house that is costlier than before. I can now grow my business, and hire people to work for me (and putting money in their hands)

Long story short, supply and demand work. If someone wants to pay me XX for something that costs me XX/10 no one should have a problem with that.

I dont think it works quite that way

Lets look at it like this. I cant tell you how many friends I have who lost their jobs over the past few years, myself included. Some of them sat on unemployement for the entire time they could collecting their 400 bucks a week, as soon as the check ran out, they all manage to get a job the next week. Kind of fishy dont you think?

If the government is giving people enough to get by, they lose the motivation to better themselves and get stuck in a rut.

Im in no way saying remove the security blanket, simply we need to find a way to teach people to fish again, instead of just giving them bread

so I shouldnt be allowed to make what someone is willing to spend?

crime is bigger in inner cities - FACT

You can take that to mean what you wish. but the facts are simple, inner cities are a problem.

how do you know race has anything to do with it? If I lived in an area that was nice, and it turned to shit for whatever reason, im gonna find a better place. Racebaiters are worse than racists these days

thanks, I will check that out and see if i can contribute anything. I got my stuff from a school that was throwing it all away so i wouldnt be surprised if i dont have some obscure stuff

you are correct. I keep them in a climate controlled area, but id say 1 out of 10 that I try are corrupt. Its a shame but I just cant bring myself to throw it all away eventhough the truth is they are 100% useless, even if they work in todays world

Thank you for the links. I knew of some of them but not gamebase, Ill be checking that out tonight
