  1. I didn't realize a deaf guy would find farts humorous (not even BillyVance). You learn something everyday, I guess. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  2. They are the same thing. The only difference is the interval on which observation is made. They are not the same thing currently. Please, enlighten us.

  5. That's like asking how a vehicle can be a truck and simultaneously be red. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  6. "We should be careful to get out of an experience the wisdom that is in it -- and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again -- and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more." -Mark Twain, Former American novelist, Puddn'head Wilson's New Calendar Math tutoring available.

  7. Not true. There was visual evidence, even if the average person was unable to understand the implications of what they saw. Advanced science is not generally understood by the average person. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  8. I would rather see corporate income taxes eliminated and see dividends paid and profits from stock sales taxed at a single rate, similar to a single corporate tax rate. For that matter, using a progressive tax rate structure similar to personal income taxes might help decrease income disparity by rewarding low and middle income investors with higher post tax profits. Either way, I think corporate tax loopholes could be drastically reduced or eliminated by passing the tax expenses directly to the individual shareholders. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  10. No one. There are different magnitudes of mean. Sometimes my older brother could be mean, but that's a different kind of mean than school yard bully mean. Or am I misinterpreting your use of mean? For example, my grade point mean (more commonly called grade point average in the US) in high school was different than my grade point mean in university.

  11. What other side? Creationism/ID? If evolution were to be disproved tomorrow, that would not make ID any more credible. They are not competing theories. There would still be zero evidence to suggest ID to be a reasonable explanation. I'm not aware of any other credible scientific hypothesis explaining how we got here, so yes. Or religious texts. It has no place in science. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  12. Me reading up on them further won't help you understand. At least you've finally decided to admit that. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  14. Sorry, I read congressmen in your post when you wrote congressman. My bad. That was me that said that, and it's true. Congress is a team and accomplish things as such. I'd have no problem saying the same thing to any Congressman. Nor did I ever deny that or claim otherwise. Just because you build a straw man to knock down Bzzzz … wrong answer. Investing cash assets of a trust fund in government bonds as required by law is hardly the same as writing themselves IOU's. During the years pertinent to this discussion (199-2000), those funds from the bond sales were not used for any operating expenses. Not necessarily true when the time value of money is taken into consideration, i.e. $1 a year from now is not worth as much as $1 now, even with zero inflation. The financial accountants need only record the debits and credits, and can do so without passion or prejudice. The claim you made (first made by lawrocket, though he had integrity enough to admit he was incorrect), and conveniently left out of this post, that Clinton's surpluses were all caused by off budget surpluses large enough to cover on budget deficits (true in 1998 and 2001). Despite all the straw men you've built up in this thread, that has been the only point I've made or defended, i.e. in 1999 and 2000 there were on and off budget surpluses. Yet you've continued to throw up smokescreens and try to explain all the ways the numbers lie. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  15. I agree that both parties are a bunch of fuckwits. One party are the major fuckwits, and one party are the minor fuckwits. The magnitude of the fuckwittedness of the two are significantly different, yet you seem to be under the illusion that it's the same. on top of that, you seem to have a complete inability to be able to discuss GWB's screwups on their own merits, needing to remind us all that Clinton wasn't perfect. No shit. Clinton made his share of mistakes, but he also had his share of successes. Bush, OTOH, has fucked up nearly everything he's touched. Tell us, how has Bush benefited the US?

  16. But I find your (lack of) logic so entertaining. You attack one side, defend the other, and claim that their both bad. The mental gymnastics you have to do to rationalize such posts must be exhausting. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  17. MMMMMMMKKKKKK...........................RIIIIIIIGHT He has done such a stellar job.....as opposed to your everpresent references to CLinton.. and the job he got. I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice that mnealtx claims Bush II tops the list as worst president, yet defends him against pretty much any accusations. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  18. I never said any such thing. You do seem to like making shit up when you're wrong, don't you? You're showing off your ignorance again, Vinny. When the funds in federal accounts increases by more than the debt increases while all operating expenses are met, that is a surplus. The bond values were offset by the debt incurred selling them. They were essentially a zero sum proposition. Funds in federal accounts still increased by more than debt increased. That can only happen with a surplus. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  19. You're right. Liberals are so damned intolerant of baseless hatred. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  20. Wasn't the answer also "No" four years ago? Attached graph. Note that the lowest positive (and highest negative) responses were at the end of Reagan's term, and the end of BushII's term.. Despite his getting a BJ, the highest positive responses were during Clinton's administration. Also interesting is that the majority of responses were positive in both 1980 and 2000.

  22. It probably depends on which of the three (or more?) personalities you ask. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  23. It's statements like this that highlight the fact that the poster knows not what he speaks of. "A religion that does not respect the sanctity of human life is not a religion at all - it's a cult." mh . Of course, if you had any understanding of Islam, you would know that it includes great respect for life, human and otherwise. But, why learn about that of which you are ignorant when blind hatred seems to be working out so well for you? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  24. In HarjuWorld, perhaps, but here in the real world most reasonable, intelligent people understand that Islam does not equate to terrorism. Of course, if you had any real knowledge of Islam, you would have a different opinion. But why base an opinion on facts, when you can instead rely on irrational hatred, right?
