For Windows users, it will just appear like business as usual. :laugh: "Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it." -- P.J. O'Rourke I'm a proud denizen of the Real Soapbox[^] ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!!!

Simply everyone knows :laugh: that it's not allowed to simply post a link to an interesting item.

My point in a nutshell. This statement is false

There's never an Iacocca around when you need one. I find myself wondering how many hedgefund managers will be called in for an IRS audit in the next few months.

All I've said is that it cannot be made static You said that in response to my question which seem to iomply that either your a priori or you conclusion was that taxes always affected the system negatively. It is you who aren't reading your own posts. Stan Shannon wrote: But it is currently being managed to emphasize capitalistic operations. People are earning profits. People earned profits in Soviet Russia. Profits are merely what is left over after expenses are covered. Capitalism is about what is done with the profits. Stan Shannon wrote: I don't believe your facts are actually facts but lies. The operative word is "believe." It is impossible to argue with someone who says the world is flat, God told him so. So I won't. Stan Shannon wrote: I don't have to look it up, I lived through it. Unlike you, I lived in a poor family in a remote rural community. . . I'm very glad that you and your family received good care, but having spent time this afternoon taking Christian to task for claiming that his experience with the American system was a single instance and not indicative of the state of the entire health-care delivery system, I shan't repeat myself any more than I already have. If you believe that your experience outweighs the reams of data that says that says that the system was inefficient in the 50's and breaking down in the sixties, I suppose I am not surprised, but again the operative word is "believe."

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. Regards, Nish Nish’s thoughts on MFC, C++/CLI and .NET (my blog) My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com link

I was very happy with mine, but I was tired of the manual transmission and the turbocharged engine was a gas-guzzler (Forester). I changed for an Impreza, regular engine.

:thumbsup:

I wish to hell I had! Its a game, and we all play it. Us, the system, the corporates, and to pretend there is any morality involved is foolish. They will all fuck each other for the max given the chance. Sorry if I sould cynical but IMO thats the way the world is. Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

Thanks, I hope you have the temerity to follow through. But I seriously doubt your trollish tendencies will allow that. This statement is false

Nope, never heard of it. Thanks for the link though. Cheers, Vıkram. Carpe Diem.

How can that be? This portrait [^]is to be released May 29th in New York[^]?

Stan Shannon wrote: You have to wonder about the sanity of people who claim that purposefully attacking defenseless women and children with nuclear weapons to save lives is ok just because it was technically legal, but are outraged that perhaps some fine details of the law might have been broken by water boarding a mass murderer to save lives. Which may explain why it's increasingly common with the barking moon-bats to assert that Truman was clearly/obviously a war-criminal and a moral monster.
