  1. i agree that for some considerable time (until the robots do the work) manual/menial work will have to be done by real people. you seem to want to feel superior to those who have to do this work - why is that? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  2. what they have earned is the right to be paid a fair minimum wage. and are you saying that if everyone gets a college education then burger type jobs will just disappear? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  3. which resulted in... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_currency stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  4. not saying doubling in one go - over several years. remember all the other similar businesses will be affected the same way so there is no competitive advantage to begin with between them. ten dishwashers get a wage increase. ten dishwashers then no longer claim government benefits for them or their family dependants (thus decreasing the tax level). do you accept these points? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

  8. and the settlements - will you give back that land? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_day_war stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  9. i read it. it mentioned gaza and the west bank but not the land of the 1967 border. you definitely say no to the return of the refugees. your 'creative' solution to jerusalem may be ok - need more details. will the palestinians be able to claim it as their capital (shared with israel)? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  10. and then you gather your forces and wage another war - is this not the western way? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  11. this is very simplistic, but... as far as land goes, yes, I would be ok with them getting the west bank and Gaza with some creative arrangement in Jerusalem (especially for the holy places). as far as refugees, they need to settle in the newly formed Palestinian state. just like I'm not going to get my family's house in Hebron that was taken by force in the 1937 riots, and like the almost million jews who were kicked out of the arab countries when Israel was formed. so the refugees can't return, no return to 1967 borders and you're not going to share jerusalem? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  12. i didn't realise that he was being quite so radical. this all sounds good stuff... http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126984.000-obama-goes-all-in-for-science.html stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  13. the palestinians want a right of return for their refugees, jerusalem as their capital (shared with israel) and a return to 1967 borders. does this constitute a fair state in your opinion. and if not, why not? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  14. the evidence seems to show that top rates of pay are not affected - the lower rates 'bulge' up (which will cause friction at low pay grades, but hopefully not too much. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

  16. do you think the palestinians will ever get a fair state of their own? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  17. did you read the figure that said 50 cents from 1959 is worth $4 today (in unskilled wages) how is that not relevant? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

  20. of course it makes a difference how old you were at the time. if you were just a kid it would have been pocket money wages (and was the store related to your family) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

  24. we're looking at deflation now - money is being pumped into the banking economy. wouldn't it be better if that money went to local workers in the form of an increased minimum wage and if a worker can't support a family on the minimum wage - who pays the bills for the family? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  25. farmers spend their time whining about money - getting any out of them is like pulling teeth! (i grew up on a farm. so i should know) one thing they like is the vast welfare subsidies they get from the government stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
