You, sir, evidently mistake me for a patriot. However, and fortunately for those of us who don't share your rather extreme point of view, living in a relatively free society entails, in part, not...

"Experts" say lots of things. You'll find a lot more "experts" out there who'll tell you that 9/11 was an inside job than those who'll tell you Obama isn't a citizen. And the fact that this...
I've got some space out in my "backyard," which is also my driveway so it's basically hard-packed dirt. Only piece of equipment I've got out there is my iron arm dummy (hanging log wrapped in rope),...
I'm 24 now, just a few weeks out from hitting a quarter-century.
Started training in 2002, 4 years of Wing Chun then about 2.5 years and counting of Pai Lum.
Cool, thanks guys. I'll be sure to check those two out.
So it appears I'm going to be moving to Minneapolis (or possibly St Paul) in a few months, and I'll need to find myself a new kwoon. There will, of course, be a rather greater number of choices open...
Feh, we've got bigger things to worry about...
1. The chart doesn't address actual pay, it addresses employer cost per labor hour. As the article I posted showed, there's not much of a disparity between the average pay of "big 3" autoworkers and...
Fair enough, that answers my question. Thanks.
Meant that the other way around, actually; government helping to create wealth by investing/spending into the private sector. Basically another...
Offline? Aw, but then I'll actually have to train to pass the time! :p
Will any of today's posts be affected by the downtime tonight?
You might need to go ahead and describe it in the longer way, because at the moment you're still just basically saying "because it doesn't work" without any explanation of why. You say the...
Considering that the $28/hour figure is an average of all autoworkers, saying that it only amounts to unskilled labor is preposterous, unless you're going to go ahead and say that all aspects of...
The union should only care about the union (meaning both the organization itself and the rank-and-file workers who constitute it). That's kind of their job, as the actual purpose for which they...
While I have my own concerns with how government agencies are run, the fact that they don't post profits isn't one of them; that's not their function, after all. While I can agree with you that...
Assembly Line by Jonathan Cohn
Debunking the myth of the $70-per-hour autoworker.

If you've been following the auto industry's crisis, then you've probably...
They are marked. When's your cut-off point for determining whether or not it comes to pass?
Also, and this is open-ended to everyone, clarify something for me. Economics isn't my forte, so...
Yeah, I tried to find a source citing the figures in real currency amounts, but didn't come up with anything. And you are right about per capitaGDP:
Cuba: $2,863.68 (#114)
U.S.: $44,155.00 (#8)...
In total, there's no question Cuba spends less on education than the US. It's just a much smaller country. Per student, I found this, a bar graph detailing public spending per primary school...
That was my point; the list of ingredients is no accurate way to judge the difficulty or art involved in creating the finished product.
I'm a brewer too. :D
One thing you need to realize is that what you're doing here is fundamentally NO different from what all the kids running around calling Bush a fascist were doing. Bush isn't a fascist by the...
Beer is malt + hops + water + yeast + distillation, the end.
I see. Personally, I can't agree, as it appears to me simply to be taxing gift income. It is, after all, the heir's money/property at that point that is being taxed, unless I'm grossly...
You're missing the point a bit. I've been arguing politics with people of all political persuasions practically since I learned to type. Only half the reason for doing it is to try and win in...
The kwoon has several different ones (I don't have one of my own, nowhere to put one). At least one canvas one, a few vinyl (or something like it) ones, and at least one that's some kind of...
What makes it different, though?
If my dad gave me a gift of $5,000 in the middle of his life, that's counted as income.
If my dad gave me a gift of $5,000 at the end of his life (which is...
