  1. With his imaginative accounting techniques, I'm surprised he even acknowledges that there's a budget deficit under W. at all. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  2. It would not imply any such thing. One (of many) possible and plausible explanations would be that the statement is made in the context of a conversation about fathers or about my father in particular. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  3. How would you suggest preventing the costs incurred by smoking from being passed on to the employer or non-smoking employees? I agree that this isn't the most elegant solution, but it may well be the only legal one. Why should non-smokers have to pay more for their health insurance because their co-worker smokes?

  4. No, it wouldn't. That appears to be the flaw in your logic. Example: If I say I was profoundly shaped by my father, without mentioning my mother, that in no way implies that I was not also profoundly shaped by my mother, nor would being profoundly shaped by my mother imply I was incorrect or lying in my claim of being profoundly shaped by my father.

  5. Ummm … bowl was already used for a part of utensils with which the herb is smoked. Or so I've been told. no shit. a joke is not as funny if you explain it. That's exactly what I thought after I read post 20 of this thread. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  6. It's not logically flawed. Why do you believe it is? No, to say he is right does not contradict his explanation of why he is right. Why do you believe it does? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  7. One reason (quoted from your post): If he was in actual fact right in what he said as you claim, by using your logic he'd therefore be fucking wrong. I plain English, that line states: If he was right then he would be wrong. That's not logical at all. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  8. Post 38 is just as illogical as post number 1. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  9. Mr2mk1g already did so, quite eloquently. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  10. Have you ever taken a class in basic logic? Because yours simply isn't valid. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  11. Please, Vinny, show us one post in this thread where I have claimed otherwise. Just one. Else, work on those reading skills. By the way, if you understood GAAP, you would be able to understand these simple concepts. There are no accounting tricks necessary to show that receipts were greater than outlays. The government IOU's are debt, Vinny. The cash on hand in federal accounts increased by amounts greater than the debt increased, in total for four years and without an on or off budget deficit. The latter had not happened in the US since 1956-1957. Four consecutive years of such fiscal responsibility had not occurred since before WWII. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  12. People mistakenly think Denver's the Mile High City. It's not. It's My Ol' High City. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  13. Does anyone know if employers are allowed to charge different insurance rates to smokers compared to non-smokers in Florida? If not, I can easily see the motivation of employers wanting to hire non-smokers. It's not uncommon for some employers to not knowingly hire smokers already. Usually it's not hard to identify them. At least Escambia County is being up front about it. It doesn't look like they are doing anything to keep current employees from smoking on their own time, only screening smokers from new hires. While it would be better to be able to pass on to smokers the extra costs smokers cause employers and other employees to incur, if that's not allowed due to legislation currently in place, then employers aren't left with many options.

  15. No, we are betting with gross income. Your challenge was your income against mine, not your income compared to mine. So, Are you going to keep your word and put your income against mine? It's your chance to show everyone whether or not you have any personal integrity. Pick a game from the list JohnBoy. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  16. Are you talking to yourself, Johnny? Those fax machines were just swell back in the twentieth century. Unfortunately, it doesn't do us much good here, does it? You offered to wager your income, and I'm trying to give you the chance to be a man of your word. We can't wager on much through a fax machine, though, can we? I'm beginning to think you don't have any intention of keeping your word, Lil Johnny. I was so looking forward to beating you over the poker felt, pool table or chess board. I guess you're just another guy that woofs it up big only as long as no one is willing to accept your challenge. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  17. So, are you saying that you're not a man of your word? Because here you posted: "I will put my gross income against yours any day." I'm just giving you the opportunity to keep your word and show everyone that you're a man of integrity. I'll put my annual income for 2007 up against your annual income for 2007, Lil Johnny. That's what you said you'd do. Just pick the game from the list I gave you. Then we can meet up in Orlando, post our wagers, and play, salary for salary. Lil Johnny, you are a man of your word, right? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  18. True. I never said otherwise. Not at all. Why would you think it would be? Yes, Vinny Boy. I've read the quote each time you posted it. It's still not relevant to the discussion. Nope. The comptroller and I are not contradicting one another. You just seem to be unable to deal with the reality of WJC being a fiscally responsible President, so you keep posting the same irrelevant quote. Except bring in more revenue than was spent, something that hadn't happened both on and off budget since 1957. BTW, WJC (you'd better work on those reading skills some more, Vinny Boy; you repeatedly get his initial incorrect, which is not very professional for a military officer, even if it is only the navy ) is not my hero, not by a long shot. He was, however, the most fiscally responsible President the US had seen since Eisenhower and Truman. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  19. There's not too many places in the US that are further south than I am. I have to drive north to get to the deep south. You've got no excuses. What's your game going to be, Lil Johnny? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  20. You must have missed my previous list, where I suggested eight ball, nine ball, 14.1, Texas Hold 'em tournament or a game of chess. Any of the above are fine by me. You pick the game and I'll pick the place. Just be ready to post your money. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  21. Speaking of betting, Lil Johnny, have you decided on a game yet? Or were you full of shit when you said you'd put your gross income up against mine? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  23. Where's the "less than one" option? I'm not a non-drinker, but I average under a drink per day. I had a Guinness earlier this week. I'm drinking a Parrot Bay Wave Runner now, since it was the closest thing to a soda in the fridge (and it's pretty damn close). (There's also some Killian's Irish Red in there, but it tastes like neither beer nor soda, so it'll likely stay in there until someone else comes to drink it.) Math tutoring available.

  24. Sorry mate. If post number 1 is your explanation of your logic, it's not Jakee (or me) who is missing something. The assertion in that post rests on the incorrect assumption that someone/something can be influence by only one thing. That is not true. For example, I was influenced by my grandparents, parents, siblings, some teachers, some friends and some coworkers over the years. Being influenced by one does not preclude being influenced by another. Nothing Obama said precludes the founding fathers being influenced by the Scottish enlightenment, even if he did not explicitly make that claim. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  25. Please, enlighten us. Why are you correct? From what I've read, your assertion rests on the premise that the someone/something cannot be shaped/influenced by two different things. If I'm misunderstanding, please explain how. Also, if I am misunderstanding, please explain how Obama was incorrect, since he didn't explicitly or implicitly claim that the Scottish enlightenment was not also influential. Sorry, I'm just having trouble understanding the logic of your argument. However, I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to clarify. Math tutoring available.
