What I inferred from your post was that you look down on those who are poor, who are disadvantaged and have less than you do and that you look with admiring eyes on the wealthy. That you have no desire to help those who are poor but rather, you offer full support to the wealthy to keep them...

the_net, methinks you suffer from a severe case of MAS (Marie Antoinette Syndrome). "What? The poor have no food? Let them eat cake!" Be careful that the cure is not the same as hers! There are many reasons for being "poor" and the reasons you claim is certainly among them, but in reality...

Steve, you say that "transference of wealth" is taxing a certain segment of the population and giving the collected money to the "disadvantaged" target group. But then your argument breaks down when you say we are giving money to the "disadvantaged" is money we don't even have, so it is not a...

I have often wished for a legislative moratorium for 10 years that would go something like this: For every new law passed, you must repeal 2 old ones. After the moratorium it would just be a one for one replacement. That would apply to all laws and all levels of government. I figure it would...

The subject noun or pronoun has also been banned in 13 countries. But very different ones.

Much of evolution happens because of mutations. Mutations can be large or small changes in the individual species. Depending on conditions, they can happen frequently to multiple individuals or infrequently to just a few. Radical mutations generally are not viable and do not survive to...

The Baker Street I had in mind is in Piscataway.

The complexity of tax laws are such that, no matter how consciencious, careful and honest you are, you are almost sure to be in violation of many of them. Maybe that's the purpose!

Sure I do. There's England, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, Essex, Isle of Wight, Guernsey, Texas, North Dakota, Alabama, Madiera, Milan and Baker Street.

How's that?

Can I get a banned alternate name as well? Seems to be a status symbol! (Just kidding of course - don't ban me, please!)

I'd say it meant we didn't understand the racial one. Never heard of a "golly" or "gollywog" here.

Touche' (or is that Touchey?)

Thanks for the correction, but then I did add the disclaimer concerning the misleading definition, "wise homonid", didn't I? :p

I am definitely NOT of the younger generation. In addition, I grew up in the Deep South before and during the Civil Rights years... and I didn't get it either. Thanks for explaining publicly. Still not funny though.

Where would you find a free version? I only see a $99 single user version, $399 five user version and "free" trial.

If we take the statement in the Constitution as the far right and gun advocates take it, one of the primary purposes is be able to overthrow our government if it does things we don't like, so maybe bombs should be OK. It would be difficult to do with just handguns, rifles and shotguns...

I think it is a legitimate question. Why a handgun and not a bomb? Why a 20 round magazine but not a 30 round magazine? Why is a semi-automatic perfectly OK when a fully automatic is not? What is the rationale behind the boundaries we set on the Constitutional broad statement of the "right...

I think Tony asks a very legitimate question. If I were your next door neighbor and chose to use my garage as a bomb building factory, would you object to that? Ignore the fact that it is presently illegal. That is another question. Just would YOU object to my right to bear arms (in this...

In the words of that great 21st century philosopher, Rodney King: "Can't we all just... get along?"
