Have they done that to you ? I don't believe it for two reasons 1 - I don't believe you've ever earned enough to pay tax 2 - I don't believe you have any belongings.

"Peter doesn't owe money to the bank, but to the family," Graham Spencer said. ... Graham Spencer said the family had made numerous attempts to accommodate Peter Spencer's failure to pay the debt, which had been outstanding for some years.

He emphasised that the family wanted only to recover the debt, and said that any extra money raised from the sale of the property would go straight to Peter. Bob Emmett @ Ynys Thanatos

People who've never done algebra tend to have problems understanding that the equation has to be balanced no matter what you do to it. There's a line from the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still where Klautu (sp?) says, "You treat the Earth like you treat each other." He never goes on to specify exactly what that is, but I think the audience could catch the meaning. Disposable is the word I would use.

So I guess that begs the question what has value and how does it get value? Funny I suppose but would have liked a video better. ;P changed the grammer a bit

Actually, thats quite a funy post. 5! Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

I can beat that. The last set of visualization tools I wrote grew out of discussions with the acquisition editor for a major textbook publisher. The editor was totally into the concept, so we wrote a grant proposal, I spent 7 and a half months getting the prototypes through peer review with the MAA, 6 months of review by the author committee... and they decided not to use it. :mad: :confused: :sigh: [edit] Grammar fixes.

Now look up 'push poll' and you'll see why polling statistics get so easily (and often) manipulated. The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

Hey now, neoconservatives are very frugal and only pass good budgetary legislation. Of course, anything that spends money in their state/district is good budgetary legislation...

They are playing a joke on you . As if your using a language that has been obsolete for 10 years, is totally unsupported, and was created in the first place for non programmers, and never got to be a real language, is not problen enough.

Seems I'm in the mood to pick a fight today, didn't realize that till a minute ago, but I was actually wondering what time period would need to pass before you would believe that it was in fact, not soon. Apologies, but I've got a meeting to hit.

There's a reason I don't argue with her supporters anymore, I want them to try again, I'd love to see Obama get re-elected and recieve at least some credit for what ever he's managed to start in the last year, good or bad, odds are we won't see any real results for another 3 years.

I'm just pointing out that they've happily relayed blatant lies about the US once before in the last month. Actually haven't even bothered to look into this one as I'm sure I'll find out all about it when I work my way through my site's administration section this weekend.
