    Share random interesting facts.

    Bonjour tcprowling et kateyes: It's 100% official that I'm now married and have relocated to Montmartre, Paris, France. Just want to greet you and anybody else here who I haven't heard from in a while. Hope all is well.:)

    Is It Mere Prudence To Wear A Snorkle In the Bath?

    I use a parachute instead, it works just as well, only with less mess: and it feels oh so silky soft.

    Which RFer(s) Have the Most Holes In Their Socks?

    Let's just say that if I were a president of the World Bank, I'd be Paul Wolfowitz: ;)

    Problems with Capitalism

    Like what? how so? Such as? So are the smaller ones. Size has nothing to do with it. I know this and I have repeatedly mentioned environmental, labor, and health regulations in this thread. Taxation is also an important way the government intervenes in the economy and so are state subsidies...

    Problems with Capitalism

    and therefore a smaller tax base, so what? and so do potential tax revenues. It's all relative. The larger countries of Europe all have similar social safety nets. Scale makes no difference. and Libertarians don't want to spend money on any of that. I understand it very well, and it's a...

    Problems with Capitalism

    Like what? I have no idea what criteria these people use to compare regulation. Looking at their description of Denmark they say: It sounds to me like they give them a high score for streamlined bureaucratic procedures and the lack of corruption, but I can assure you that Denmark's "high...

    Problems with Capitalism

    I agree with you, to an extent. A market economy is undoubtedly better than a centrally planned command economy. But if free markets don't solve social problems, as you admit, then clearly we have to seek solutions elsewhere. These don't necessarily have to be incompatible with a capitalist...

    Conservative Only: Does Acceptance of Homosexual Behavior Lead To...? (Revisited)

    Why should anyone care who anybody else has sex with? Why are right-wingers so inordinately obsessed with sex?

    The What Are You Listening To? Thread - Part Three!

    Rat Race by Bob Marley "In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" ...next to a bottle of rum and dreaming of tradewinds and latitudes warmer.

    US Raids Iranian Consulate

    Yebo. A raid on a consulate is considered an invasion of the represented country's territory and, therefore, an act of war. Question now is, what are the Iranians going to do about it? Ghetto rulez.

    I told you it was the Italians!

    Those Italians really must have no place better to go.:eek: (just kidding, ok?) I'll gladly go wherever the women look like Eveta.:D

    Should jaywalking be illegal?

    From my experience here in DC and elsewhere, jaywalking laws are just an excuse for the cops to earn a little baksheesh. Totally and utterly pointless.

    Usa At War, The Usa Police State Grows To Canada And Mexico

    If there is a war with Iran, it will be the end of the USA as a relevant nation in the world. You should be praying for this war every night, anyscientologist.

    What Do You Make Of Bush's New Iraq Plan?

    Just a pedantic point, but Iran is NOT an Arab country. They're Muslims, yes, but if you call an Iranian an Arab, them's fightin' words. Here's an idea: why don't we hire the Ethiopians to go into Iraq. Anybody notice how the Ethiopians have been cleaning the floor with Somalia's Islamists...

    Home schooling?

    I had to grow one. I moved around a lot as a kid so I got my share of being Johnny-come-lately. The day I graduated high school I felt a great sense of relief. I couldn't wait to get the heck out of there. When I look back on it now, though, I have a lot of fond memories. I made great...
