For me, NO. I am my own employer so I pay taxes on the payroll and benefits I pay myself. So like I said, I pay out $2000 a month to the insurance then I get to pay the gov't $300 in taxes on that....

you LIKE paying taxes?

and a lot of taxes are just plain dumb, I am self employed so I pay directly my health insurance. It is money I never see, I send it to the giant office (that half the time...

The current Republican party is NOT the Reagan coalition. While Reagan was a conservative and most definitely played to the religious right, he did NOT make it a center of his movement. In 8 years he...

Mike's post was in good spirits and meant for fun but the reality is that Obama's presdency IS going to change politics, particularly for the likes of Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson

FOR THE BETTER...

Obama is going to win the popular vote

the big question, the question that matters, is how the electoral college votes will play out. I suspect it will come down to Ohio or Florida (again)

It would be naive to think racism isn't going to play a factor in the election results

I have news for ALL of you..... US politics is fueled by contributions and those contributions come from people/businesses with BIG MONEY... and thus, BOTH PARTIES often support things that are good...

The Taliban was composed of those who had studied in Madrasha in Pakistan, manhy of which were too young to have fought the Soviets themselves. In addition, the Taliban movement is often "credited"...

There, just proved you are a LIAR as well :rolleyes:

Nohting there refutes what I just said, other then it MAY have been founded in 1984. The US actually started funding the "muj" under Carter. Furthermore, raising funds and recruiting peopel to go...

Bin Laden's first ground was called "Maktab al-Khadamat" (sorry, I had to go look up the spelling)

It was based in Pakistan and wasn't founded until LATE 1985. IE as I have said already many...

I already have so many times before, but let's just refresh memories about how you make claims and then try to double talk your way out

From the infamous thread David wants you to forget about

...

You are wrong, and have a track record of making claims and then tucking tail when called to cite references...

NO, sorry, you are WRONG

You can't push your point by trying to pass off fantasy as fact

The "muj" are completely different movemnet than the Taliban. The Taliban are followers of one cleric,...

That is simply not correct. The CIA knew who Bin Laden was, met him in connection with what was going on (ie the war) but the relationship has been over played and by many simply misunderstood. Just...

Dear lord, no offense, but NO, you are WRONG AGAIN

The Taliban were NOT the "muj". They came in later. IN fact, if we hadn't pulled support from the "muj" we would never have had the Taliban!!!!
...

I won't blame you because a lot of people mistakenly believe that Bin Laden was part of the "muj" group we supported in Afghanistan. The fact is, Bin Laden arrived very late in the conflict and...

When Ronald Reagan entered office, the Soviet Union had a DECLINING average life span. Alcoholism was rampant in the society. A grossly disproportionate amount of the GNP was devoted to the military...

It is a mater of record here on the forum that David Jamieson tosses out as "facts" things that when confronted with, he can not cite and support. There was an entire thread to that effect on here. ...

A woman in the US whose family happens to be retards is a tragedy but it IS significantly different than a woman in the middle east who finds herself PROSECUTED as a criminal by the STATE

If you...

Dear lord you are as ignorant as you are stubborn

In the US, if a woman is raped she is considered a victim and we provide her with support services

In much of the middle east, a women who is...

1. As you just said, one INSULATED community....

2. But ultimately the governemnt DID step in

Compare that to many Islamic nations and the situation isn't even close!

Should I also point out...

Libertarians aren't anarchists. They support government in a LIMITED FUNCTION, most specifically to uphold order and justice and to insure the freedoms of the population. A libertarian can see paying...

1. I think you'd be wrong. I think the percentage is higher, though certainly there are many people in Pakistan who are NOT extremists

2. The US doesn't have areas of the nation where there is...

I said it before on this very thread, there is NO DIFFERENCE. Fundamentalism is the problem, not religion per se....
