Depends, as I believe you are young, you most likely do not have many, if any bills to pay, so having a fluid pay scale isn't as much of an issue to you. If you make $200 or $400 in a week it won't make a significant difference. Or you could just rely on having that say $300 a week every week.

He'll never make it as a candidate. Specially not a republican candidate. People are worried about guiliani's moderate views, and ron paul has a mix of ultra conservative, and ultra liberal views together. In essence he has the worst of both parties. I agree with some of what he has to say, I disagree with some of what he has to say, but either way he won't ever make it as a candidate, let alone as president.

I used to play game online where you only got a baz and rope, you had between 8-20 secs, depending on how advanced of a player you were playing against, had to rope at least 3 times before you could shoot, and had to try to win. It was crazy...but fun

ropers = $

Or here's a novel idea... Try to find a woman who is not hidden in the magical glowing box attached to your computer, and talk to her.

3 days after you were on staff I knew it was you, but MMav would not let me fire you without proof

lol you didn't have anyone fooled We all knew it was you, we just didn't have any proof that it was you. And unlike some people I wasn't going to go on a hunch, even though everyone knew it lol

At 21 I still did not have a college degree. The only thing I had was a diploma from one of those !@#$%^&*ty under funded public schools. Now I'm a formally educated guy, but I have always been hard working. Any job that you have been at for 40 years at the same pay is rediculous and is the worst job in the entire world. Even a burger flipper at mcdonalds gets a raise every 6 months. Now I don't want to insult your family but being an immagrant really is a poor excuse. My best friend was born in america but his family came from cambodia (long story on how they're chineese and were living in cambodia). Each and every one of them came over without knowing a word of english. And they sent one at a time over to work for enough money to bring the next and so on. Now it took them longer than a lot of people but they all have college degrees, even if only from the small community college, they all have their own houses, enough money for a decent retirement, brand new cars, and the best work ethic I've ever seen in this country, immagrant or not. To this day his mom still works 50-60 hours a week, and its not because they need the money, far from it, its because she tried only working 40 hours and got so bored that she requested to work more hours. Whether you are born here or come from another country, we have one of the best economies to work in. No you may never make millions as an everyday person, but you will be able to make a fair wage as long as you work hard. I'm not saying that your father did not work hard, but if he was working for a job where he A) didn't get a raise for 40 years, or <_< after 40 years was only making 30k a year, that might be a good indication to get a new job.

I'm not saying I'm for this by any means, but if a teacher was imbalanced enough to go on a shooting spree, who says the school would need to provide the gun for them to do that? Yes I know this way they might have access to a gun where they might otherwise not, but it can go either way.

Thats the sacrifice with online dating. If you don't have the balls to pick up a guy/girl face to face, you might get caught with a serial rapist. !@#$%^&* cowards, serves you right.

yeah attraction doesn't want e-!@#$%^&*...he doesn't want any !@#$%^&* at all! Unless you can draw it :/

McDonalds will usually start at about $7.50 here, where the minimum is $7.25. A friend is HS, was up to $8.50 at 18 just for being a grill trainer. Yes all he did was teach the new guys how to press the burgers lol. At 20 he got crew leader and was making about $11. Then from there he quit because he didn't want to smell like grease anymore. He worked normal hours as a crew leader, anywhere between 30-40, overtime was just if you couldn't get things closed in time, or if they really needed the help. The problem is that the mcdonalds was open til midnight, so if you closed you would be working til 1am. And they were open early. There is always a give and take. And I agree about the inheritance tax, I think thats rediculous, and I also don't agree that you should have to give up insane amounts of money just because you make a good amount of money. As for universal health care, if it could be monitored and not abused, and it cost me less a month than my current health coverage in taxes, and I got the same care, I'd be all for it. What is surprising to me is after living how I lived, and seeing people live how they lived, that they cannot muster up enough disgust at their roach infested falling apart apartment to do something about it. It surprises me to see so many people perfectly able to do something about a situation they hate and yet they do nothing. We live in a society where we love to !@#$%^&* about everything, and like to do nothing.

Everyone has a little corruption, but there is a difference between a little corruption and killing someone. Namely a child.

Sleeping with, and or hitting a student is a far cry from killing one of them.

First off astro, I don't know what your dad has been doing his whole life but he needs a new job desperately. To make 20k a year that means your dad only makes $9.61 an hour, I was making more than that as an !@#$%^&*istant manager in a retail store at 18. Maybe he should switch to retail. Or flipping burgers, crew leaders make over 10 dollars an hour. At 20, with no degree, I was making over twice of what your dad is making now. Second I'm all for taxing the upper class, but I'm not all for giving it ALL to the lower class. The middle class needs help too. And I am against universal health care. Just another reason for the poor people to stay poor. Right now if half of the people on welfare go out and get a job, they can't afford to keep the standard of life they have when the government is paying for it. Give them full health care too and why would they ever want a job? I'm not a very big fan of socialism. McDonalds pays similar to retail, at least in my area, and by 20 working retail I was making over 35k a year (I quit this job in the spring after getting the job mentioned above). That is considered middle class right there. The poverty level in America for a single person is 9000 a year. So that means by 20 I was making 4 times what the poverty level is in the united states, by working in retail. It might be lower middle class, but it's middle class. If you average even a $.25 raise a year, very low, by 30 I'm making over 41k a year. By 40 I'm making over 46k, and by 50 I'm making over 51k. !@#$%^&*uming you are getting a very small raise you still end up making decent money. The problem is that you have to be hard working, honest, show up on time, not get mad if your supervisor tells you to do something, and be mature enough to hold onto a job. Things anyone, from any background can do, if you just want to do it. And I would agree with the camps also, or even maybe drafting these people into the army. And I've never said that a poor neighborhood is a good environment, its !@#$%^&*ty. Very !@#$%^&*ty. But we can't force these people to be motivated. I mean growing up in !@#$%^&* motivated me to never live like that. Ever. And if even that can't motivate these people, there is nothing that a little money will do for them. And on a final note, I still don't agree with your 40 year theory, but being it's your opinion vs mine, how about we agree to disagree?

This is hilarious. Also note that a legal do!@#$%^&*ent would not request a dollar amount.

Astro well what are we supposed to do? We give poor people money for college, money for food, money for housing, money for fun and money for transportation. We give poor people all we can. The problem is motivation. My dad could have gotten all the welfare in the world when he was laid off, instead he worked 3 minimum wage jobs to keep a small amount of food on the table and a roof over our heads. Nowadays everyone has their hand out. We can't force them to be motivated, and if we're pouring billions of dollars into a project that is just not working, when do we decide enough is enough? We take most of the money that is out there for college and give it to the unmotivated poor kids, when it's those motivated middle class kids, who can't afford college either that could use more money. I'm tired of paying to have poor people be lazy and poor. Now I know there are some legitimate welfare cases, but coming from the liberal state of NY, they hand out to everyone, and for as long as they want it. And I agree sever that being poor makes it very hard to become rich, but you can easily become middle class. Even if you just finish highschool, and work at mcdonalds, full time mind you, for the rest of your life, you will make enough money to be middle class. If you want to work retail, work part time and eventually you'll get a full time posistion. You'll get benefits and retirement, and enough pay to live on, if not extravogently. You don't even need a college education to make it to middle class, all you need is a little motivation. And it's pretty !@#$%^&*ed up if after living in poverty your entire life, you don't even have the motivation to not live in !@#$%^&* anymore. If you can look around and honestly say you enjoy living in a slum and being poor, then you are useless to society. And if you hate living in a slum and being poor, yet you won't even work a simple job to try and help it, then you are also useless.

But the fact that I was born into a family, that due to my fathers factory closing down when I was 3, was in poor for a good majority of my life. So thus by indicating that they had more advantages than I did makes it a valid statement. And its actually worse off to be middle class for college. If you are rich your parents can pay for it, if you're poor the state/fed pay for it. If you're in middle class, your parents make too much for the gov to give you money, and they don't make enough to pay for your college. Being poor is no excuse for staying poor. And if you're right and the reason why poor people are poor is because they're born poor, maybe we should sterilize everyone under the poverty level so they cannot reproduce. That would solve that problem.

freak I never said using a gun was bad, but unless you are target shooting, you are using the gun to cause damage. Sometimes the presence of a gun can prevent that, but if a gun is pulled, it is pulled within the realm of causing damage. No matter if its for a good or bad reason. Mind you I'm pro gun. and sever, you can't use centuries of oppression to scape goat on today. A black american born the same year as me had more advantages to get a job and get schooling than I had. Every school I applied to had lower requirements and higher financial aid for minorities. If you're saying it's due to lack of motivation because of the years of oppression need I remind you how hard it was on the asian americans after pearl harbor? I think that has been one of the worst discriminations that has occured in the united states in the past two centuries. If a kid born today, no matter the color of his or her skin cannot excel, it is not because of lack of resources. Even in a poor poor area, if you appy yourself you can do well in life. Now if you're blaming in it on their parents who can't seem to get over oppression that occured decades ago, and that they p!@#$%^&* that on to their kids, and there is no way to fix it, I say deport them all. White, black, asian, deport them all to different countries. I say stop giving them welfare, at least I can account for my state, where 42% of people on welfare have been on it over 5 years. Either start working or start packing, I'm fed up of paying for lazy !@#$%^&*ing people who want to blame everything wrong in their lives on other people. If these people spent half as much time working, even a minimum wage job, as they do complaining, they wouldn't need welfare.

It does show that poor people commit more crimes, I won't argue that, but it is just an excuse. Robing someone is the easy way out. You don't have the strength to work for what you want so you have to take it. People in poverty show a distinct lack of motivation to better themselves or their lives. And I do say that the black americans today did dig their own hole. I will stand by that too.

You still shouldn't publicly imply someone has done something to you, or has a hand in it, when you don't even know if they have the power to do it in the first place.

I was just reiterating the fact that it is an opinion based argument. And I'll add to the vote: Football 4 life. Even college ball is better than pro ball.

We can spend all night trying to debate who some of the greats are but case in point is: Losa thinks iverson is the greatest player to ever live. None of us think that. Thats where it has to be left because otherwise this will turn into a pointless spam debate as has happened many times before. Just don't say that players won't ever be as good as him, specially when they've had better stats for the same time period as he has. But I guess you're en!@#$%^&*led to your opinion even if it is highly speculative and you are preaching it as fact based of a biased opinion of one of the two players in question.

not for me tho :/ same thing in your other post I don't get them :/

My problem with iverson is that he's a gunner. He takes more shots than 90% of the players out there, and he has a mediocre % if he's on he'll knock down the house, but if he's off he's had games where's he has taken 45 shots and made 10 of em. That doesn't help your team. And I know its always blamed on the "oh no one else was there to shoot" but he's still doing it with the nuggets. I mean with Melo as captain and shot leader, iverson only took 92 shots less than he did. I'm not saying anyone's better than the other, imo iverson is a very good guard, but he's not the be all end all either. Edit: he's no MJ.
