This only works in abstract world. If you try to implement it in real world, you'll quickly find out that the number of people who would like to GET help is larger than the number who would like to PROVIDE help. Like to get and need are two different things. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

having said that, then I guess you will forfeit your social security when you turn 65? And panhandle on the streets for those 'donations' that you speak of? If government is not there to help its own people, then what is it's purpose perhaps? "The general welfare of the people" I think it said..... I and the companies I worked for paid into it so I should at least get that back. However I'm planning for retirement as if I won't get a dime of Social Security becuase that's also very possible too. My definition of government is one that helps people help themselves. Government social programs should be run like a business and either be fully self sufficient (loans) or show that the money spent on them enabled enough people to become taxpayers and contributors to justify the expense. IE: X social program total costs (administration, funds distributed, education, etc.) was $400 million/year. $100 million was paid back in loans and 10000 people were able to to get jobs paying $30,000 or more. The program shows to be paying for itself. Edited to add: "Lost causes" need to be the domain of charities, not government.

People should help people. Through donating items, money, time, etc. Forced donations by taxpayers through gov't programs OTOH is what I have a problem with. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

We did it a bunch in 97 to 99. It's easy. You just gotta believe. Pssh... Anyone can catch a rig. Catching a narwhal in the air and using it as a canopy, that's difficult. Ok. We can try that also. On the very day this photo was taken, all the Narwhals said they'd try it. Thay'll agree to anything if they think they'll get more blow.

Possibly. The plane dives and follows the container. When the guy gets close enough he jumps out, grabs the rig and puts it on. It's still incredibly dangerous but if practiced enough (getting into a rig in freefall, catching it) with a small reserve, the risk lowers. Travis Pastrana'd prolly try it.

If that was true, how do we end up with multi generational welfare families? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

When the bad far outweighs the good and there is seemingly no change in sight. Luckilly for me we're always going through mergers and reorgs so if I don't like something it's prolly not gonna stick around too long anyways.

I've heard of Batman, but people pigeons? And why are they homeless? Whatever; we should feed them all. If you thought pigeons bred a alot, they got nuthin' on these... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I'd leave the OS on the smaller drive unless the bigger one is much faster. Having your OS and apps on the one drive and all your data on the other bigger one lets you reformat and reinstall apps without effecting your data files.

Just been waiting for someone to ask. A 15x15 frame tent is $150 they usually throw in the side for me for free. Sizes and costs go up from there. I supply a large packing tent, 40x60 or larger, at the event but if you will be hanging out with a few people it is nice to have a private place to put all your stuff and it can double as a place to sleep. I have a feeling that I may regret asking this later, but is there anyone besides RastaRicanAir interested in going in on a tent? If we can get some more takers, I'll go in on one.

you are missing the point, it is not that you paid 100% but that you contributed to it. maybe the actual cost you contribute when young is very small, but you did contribute, and as you get older your contribution gets larger until you are taking care of yourself and then are helping someone else to do the same. I see to many kids nowdays that haven't learned anything about taking care of their responsibilities until they are out of college. their contribution to their own welfare was zero until that point now they are overwelmed buy having to do it all at once. they have no work ethic, ability, or desire to work for their own prosperity. We have less and less people to pay for more and more people because of attitudes like yours. Not saying your attitude is not nobel, but it does breed lazyness and entitlement attitudes from the children and harms them and us in the future. Exactly. Even if a portion of the current generations are lost causes to this concept it doesn't mean the current generations children have to be. They're gonna need all the work ethic and self sufficiency they can get to pay for all the debt we've accumulated... Hey Both of you get back to work.... I get to start collecting my Social Security in a few years.... its my entitlement and I fucking earned it. GET TO WORK.. Working right now and have been since 6 AM. You have every right to your Social Security as you earned it. Sure you were forced to save it, couldn't choose the way you invested it, or even use it as financing collateral, but it's still yours.
