Radio, duh.

We haven't gotten over 25 since the last fix. I honestly can't say I know if its fixed or not.

"Connie Rice> Owned. GG."

But because they aren't making minimum wage, they get hurt when prices go up and their salary does not (Because they are making more than minimum wage).

Thats what I keep saying. The bottom 10% isn't living off minimum wage.

Poor families don't live on the minimum wage, and it also increases inflation, so you are wrong on both counts.

Siaon and I are almost to the stage where we can start writing the new item system's code. To date, we have mostly been working on other things, such as improved commands. Under the new system, items will be easy to add and adjust. And you can expect new stuff poping up a lot. We may put the system online with only a handful of items to start testing with, but rest !@#$%^&*ured, intricite plans have been made for it.

Didn't read the first one, Bargeld, because acrobat freaked out. And the second one basicly said everything I said in my last post, with far more detail and facts. MonteZuma, read that last link Bargeld gave, "Only 1.2 percent of all minimum wage workers (about 58,600) were adult heads of households with less than $10,000 of income." That's why I doubted you knew anyone who lived on it. I was saying that raising it only hurts the people it tries to help. They get shafted. I also lived in poverty for a long time. Not a decade, but close. > "Paying $8 per hour won't make your economy collapse. But it may result in a better workforce and fairer distribution of wealth." HAHAHA!!! No, you are right, it wont collapse the economy, but it will hurt it. And it wont result in a better work force. In fact, people will get layed off because of the new minimum, prices will go up, and increase the distance between the rich and poor. Socialism isn't the way to go. If you want money, work for it.

How many people do *you* know that LIVE off minimum wage? Not many, I will wager. Minimum wage isn't something people are meant to live off of. Raise minimum wage, and you don't change anything. Prices of products raise to compensate. You actually hurt people who earn what is now the minimum wage, because THEY now make minimum wage, and when prices increase, they get shafted. Minimum wage is made by people working part time at a fast food joint in a summer job. It's not something to live off of. Anyone working something that resembes a normal job isn't getting PAID that. Minimum wage is economic bull -*BAD WORD*-, and you are just too stupid to see it, I guess. Why stop at $8 an hour? Why not make it $2000 an hour? LIFT them out of poverty! Escalate us to be the "Greatest Country in the World"! We pay everyone $2000 an hour... Lets not even stop there! Lets add in a free convertable car too. I'm sure you can see where it leads. Short term chaos, then a rebalancing around the new minimum. Vote for kerry if you want to propel America to be the "Greatest Country in the World". I thank God every day that you aren't a representation of the average of the country. I do hope you see common sence someday. Same thing applies to outsourcing. Outsourcing is good for America. Doesn't sound that great, but if you stop and think about what happens to the money companies save, you will see. You have to look deeper than what lies on the surface. The world is a dynamic place. Not all forces have reprocussions that are immediatly felt, or immediatly seen.

Minimum wage is political BS. Sounds good to uneducated people. All it does is hurt businesses and remove jobs. Bargeld, those jobs were all there before. They didn't go hiring random people off the streets, they went to contracting companies who employ those people full time. It isn't the government's duty to create jobs. It should rather foster an enviorment for businesses to flourish and thrive. Growing businesses create jobs. What SHOULD be done to get jobs even higher is to remove all the regulation that hinders hiring new people. I'm saying that John F(raud) Kerry is a liar. How can he create more jobs than they are people in the work force? By employing 10 year olds? Unless he does that, he will never "get those numbers published." In fact, 5.7% unemployment is a lower rate than the average of the 70's, 80's and 90's. Kerry knows this, and it's why he has avoided the issue. Not to mention that we just had the worst attack on American soil *ever*. How can HE create any jobs? Unless he wants to drasticly increase the size of the post office or something, all he can do is stimulate businesses (like Bush is doing), something a liberal isn't willing to do, as they think capitalism is evil incarnate.

But then the company loses money, and goes broke.

Nope. Search the forum, I think there have been other posts like this.

Not enough to make kerry's math work.

Did you know that clinton passed up several opurtunites to have OBL !@#$%^&*inated? They had the man in their sights, asked for the go ahead, but didn't get it. Now, I can sorta understand why he did it. But I don't think its fair to blame the problem on Bush. If Clarke had (excuse the bad lead in) "virtually permission to come into the oval office at any time under Clinton", why was terrorism a threat after the eight years of Clinton in office? I'm not trying to put down clinton here, I'm just saying you can't use the Clarke case, because it doesn't hold water. BTW, intel indicates that 9/11 was planned in 1996. So it's not like Clarke didn't have time to warn Clinton, if in fact, he knew anything at all. I meant that invading a forign country pre 9/11 would have been cause for impeachment. !@#$%^&*inating a known terrorist might have caused some "Wag the Dog" claims, but no one would have faulted him for it.

I just thought of something. If Bush had tried this war on terror before 9/11, like invading Afganistan, he would have been impeached. Clinton was in office 8 years. If anyone could have stopped it before hand, it was Clinton, and not Bush.

You are using owns in the legal sence, GTO? In that case, priitk doesn't own continuum, because he violated laws to make it. It's that simple. Now, the company who owns SS doesn't care enough to bring it up, but it could if it wanted to. If someone else made a compatable client without breaking laws (such as copyright), that programmer would own the new client. gerbils basicly said the same thing, but you had too look at his post crosseyed while hanging from the celing to see it.

Yes, I agree that the 9/11 commitee is BS. I think all these things will come back to haunt the Democrats in November.

I meant to say more jobs than people able to work. I wasnt counting 6 month old babies. Maybe that's were Kerry's math went sour.

Ok, to be fair, I will talk about republican failures. Campaign finance reform. Abridges free speach. Very bad. Bush should have vetoed it. Senior drug benefits program. Ugh, medicare, need I say more? Another Bush mistake. Illegal imigrant stuff. Very bad. I know why Bush wanted to do it. For national security, but it's still a mistake. All I could think up off the top of my head.

Ohh, I love this one: John Kerry said he would create 10 million new jobs in his first term in office. If 10 million new jobs were created, we would have more jobs than people in the US, and a negative unemploment rate. Gotta love that math

We would be, if it was a volation of states rights to stop a rouge court from recounting the ballots for the third time (forth maybe, I forget now). You are quite correct that the state can determine how it will give its representation in the electoral college. However, a single state court is not considered "the state". Recounting and changing people's votes to who they "meant to vote for" is very bad. If you agree with nothing else, you have to agree with that that kind of precident would doom us.

There were three or four independent recounts AFTER the supreme court stoped the state's recounts. Gore lost every one. The florida supreme court didn't determine the outcome of the election. It stoped a rouge court from continually recounting the ballots until it got a favorable outcome.

I was just thinking about democrat hypocrisy. They are all concerned about women's rights, but pine for the days when saddam was in power, and women weren't even allowed to be in public without covering their faces, much less allowed to vote. And how high gas prices are the end of the world, when they want to tax the -*BAD WORD*- out of gas so that people stop driving and "polluting." And how Bush pulled a hat over everyone's eyes in regardes to WMDs, when His Most Exaulted Royalness, Bill Clinton said exactly the same things about Iraq only a few years before. Bush contributed more to AIDS research than any previous president, but people villify him because he didn't contribute enough. I swear, if GWB created a cure for cancer, he would be attacked because he didn't invent it sooner.

Bush didn't have trouble justifying Iraq. He had problem with showing leadership and making the previous prez look like a spinless jellyfish, and because of that there has been a TREMENDOUS outporing of rage from a very small section of the population who idolized said previous prez. All I can say is, thank god Gore isn't president.

You should have gone looking for the oldest thread you could find, and post it on that Good idea, tho.
