Nope, your own source proved my point.... Out of the top 10 degrees... Not ONE was liberal arts. FACTS do not support your BS. I will give you some credit... You have finally avoiding using personal attacks.... BRAVO! It was the same calling out your lies as before. And you seem to have forgotten your claim. It was not that liberal arts degrees are the top earners. You claimed that tech degrees are earning 100k+ and liberal arts degrees are getting 30-40k at best. Petroleum engineering is the only one close to 100k at graduation. There are several engineering disciplines that are in the 100-109 range midcareer. At the start, only 5 of them can get 60s. So clearly we're talking about midcareer numbers for your claim. We haven't really defined liberal arts - does that include math or econ? We know it includes poli sci or government. random selections from that source: Even with a strict definition, there's no shortage of liberal arts majors averaging in the 75k-80k. The engineering disciplines averaged between 90 and 109, with the exception of petro. So let's call it that 100k you cited - that's a 30% improvement from the upper 70s, hardly the 250% increase in earning power you claimed (I mean, pulled out of your ass). Political Science and Chemistry are basically tied - how the fuck do you explain that? Econ - 94.7k Stats - 93.8k Math - 89.9k Finance - 87.3k Gov - 87.3k - beating out Biochem, EE Tech, CE Tech, Molecular Bio Chemistry - 80.9k Film Production - 80.7k PoliSci - 80.1k International Relations - 79.4k. Occupational Health and Safety - 79k American Studies - 78.6k Urban Planning (gasp) - 78k Accounting - 75.7k Philosophy (LOL) - 75.6k Literature - 73.2k History - 69k

yes. talking points are frequently repeated campaign messages. however, if the facts show them to be false, they're not talking points, but merely lies.

The result of consencual sex and rape are not even remotely similar. The fact that you are trying to relate the two for the sake of an internet argument is rather disturbing. I find your lack of respect for the law and contempt for these women equally disturbing.

The problem here is that gays are a protected class, drunks are not, and for obvious reasons. In fact, the law often prohibits you from serving alcohol to people who are openly intoxicated. I've read about this subject in professional photography forums. The law is fairly clear - this doesn't differ from refusing to serve to blacks. Some express fear that they might lose future business if they do a gay wedding. Others mock the idea of turning down business in a market that is saturated with providers. Lot of discussion about 'pretending to be busy' (iffy), flat out turning them down for being gay (invites this litigation), or telling them that they aren't comfortable with it and may not do their best work (customers will likely find a better provider).

So how is it that they knew the car was probably there, but not what it looked like?

Deserved what? Deserves the situation she put herself in, due to the consequences of her own consensual act, with a partner of her choice? She chose to fuck a dead beat, so she deserves the consequences. That is taking responsibility for your actions. referring to rape victims. The only difference between them and this situation is the 50% legal responsibility.

wow - this thread quickly degenerated into a debate over the governor's qualities, not the voter question. As I wrote elsewhere, this type of purge is unjustifiable, and highly suspicious, when done in between the primary and main election, particularly during a Presidential cycle. This should have been done in the Fall before the primary, allowing falsely purged people an opportunity to get it fixed before the main election. They would still lose their primary vote, which is problematic, but the damage is much less than depriving them of their vote in November.

The fact that Forbes mentions 7:1 (but no citation or actual figures) doesn't mean that you can quote it as gospel. And the point of the article seemed to be that the money wasn't the factor, a part you completely ignored.

once you start applying this sort of financial coercion, it's not free will anymore, and that slope gets slippery real fast.

Except that it isn't 50% in practice. I know that you have been educated in the US, so sex ed and basic biology might be lacking, but it is generally the mother who gives birth and ends up with the baby. So if you are going to end up with 100% of the burden, you clearly also have more of the responsibility to check prior to fucking. At least if you believe in taking responsibilities for your own actions that is. So again, the bitch in the miniskirt deserved it, you're saying.

Oh look, more personal crap from you. Is this the best you can do? And yes, lets look at your source..... Hey, the top 5 paying degrees: Seven engineering degrees and Computer science, Physics and Math. All with mid career salaries 97k to 155k Show me a liberal arts degree on that list with a mid career salary of 100k. Face it, you are wrong and the best you can do is throw insults. 6 days later, he pops up again. Admit already you made shit up. Now you're just trying to misrepresent an actual source and ignore the actual claims of your's. I could dissect the misrepresentations in your last post, but what's the point?

is it? the article didn't give numbers. Perhaps it's a reflection of the lack of support for the loser of the 2010 election in what was basically a do-over attempt? Obama and the DNC basically ignored the race, so no money there either.

You heard that saying "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt?" Go to China, check it out! don't need to go to China (though I have) to read the news.

You heard that saying "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt?"

him again...yawn.

Has it, now? Was it another Kellerman special? Giving the number of bullshit studies along this line, this sort of claim requires a citation.

you're correct. It looked like their DMV, but is actually a generic one. I see the March injunctions now. Looking at an actual wi-gov site now: Proof of Residence The following constitute acceptable Proof-of-Residence if the document contains your current name and address and is valid on Election Day (unless otherwise indicated): A current and valid Wisconsin driver license. A current and valid Wisconsin identification card. Any other official identification card or license issued by a Wisconsin governmental body or unit. Any identification card issued by an employer in the normal course of business and bearing a photo of the card holder, but not including a business card. A real estate tax bill or receipt for the current year or the year preceding the date of the election. A residential lease which is effective for a period that includes election day (NOT for first-time voters registering by mail). A university, college or technical institute identification card (must include photo), ONLY if the bearer provides a fee receipt dated within the last nine months or the institution provides a certified housing list to the municipal clerk. A gas, electric or telephone service statement (utility bill) for the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before election day. Bank statement. Paycheck. A check or other document issued by a unit of government. most of these are difficult to vote multiple times with. You're not going to lease a house in order to vote twice, and you need an SSN to get a bank account opened. The employee ID would be the most questionable one. Personally I'm not a fan of register at the polls. I think having to register 15 days in advance is an acceptable hurdle, responsibility of voter. I see little reason here (election monitoring in CA and WI is not evidence) to believe it was happening here, however. It does appear that both parties in that state are acting a bit immature, as seen by the recall and by the GOP guy running for Lt Gov as a Democrat.

when are you going to get the big picture, Shah? You constantly try to reach out with very incomplete information. Talking to a few people is poor social science. How many times have you tried to claim conversations with your world bank buddy as a source of great wisdom? Let's talk about a specific event in recent years - business in china went cheap on the ingredients for baby milk. Babies died. If big business ran the show as you claim, there wouldn't have been subsequence executions. And that's a huge difference between here and China. Romney can run the Bain cabal, stealing money from pension funds. And then run for President. In China, the government has the right, ability, and inclination to openly shoot your ass if you run afoul.

making a mountain out of an ant hill: 20 seconds with google: http://www.dmv.org/wi-wisconsin/voter-registration.php#Register-on-Election-Day Register on Election Day Wisconsin election laws make it easy to register to vote, and you can even register to vote at your local polling place on the day of the election if you are not already registered. Be sure to bring: Your Wisconsin driver license. Or, if you do not own one, have either your Social Security number or ID card. Proof residency.

When was this? Historical data strongly indicates otherwise - which contributed to these battle lines you speak of.

No gains yet you can harvest against that carry forward? Also, in this case you're not losing the capital loss, just deferring it. Inflation does mean this will translate to a slightly lower deduction, but short of a catastrophic loss, I would hope you could use these to do annual tax harvesting of winners for 30 days and clear it out.

It showed nothing of the sort. People can register at the polls in that state, apparently. But that aside, it's third hand he said he said, appears to have been misread, and wasn't cited well to start with. It shows what reaching for straws looks like.

First off, remember that it takes 10 seconds to drop through the first 1000ft, so there's no rush. If you leave at 5k, you have 10 seconds to get stable and pull by 4k. Also, remember that the longer you fall, the easier it will be to get stable. You'll be building airspeed the whole time, and your arch will be more effective the closer you get to terminal velocity. With the above in mind, start doing some hop n pops this weekend, and arrange for one of the jumpers on the load to film your exit. They can film it from the door and still continue on to do their own jump, so that's free video. Once on the ground, get a copy of the video and pin down one of the staff members to review it with you. It won't take more than 2 min or so, and that's free coaching. Be sure to look at things like where you're looking, the alaignment of your shoulders and hips with the relative wind, and your overall body position (are you even arching? are you holding the arch, or breaking it when you go a little off kilter?). You should be able to locate the source of your problem, and then have some things to focus on for your next jump. So free video, free coaching, and nothing to focus on but the exit as there's no freefall to follow. You'll get more jumps in, and be able to work on canopy control with no traffic as well. You might be intimidated by exits and hop n pops, but this is how you can turn that around and make those your strong point. Didn't want to chop any of this out - Dave's posting is perfect advice for you. I did want to comment on the not rushing. I had a lovely experience on a HnP out of a side door (as opposed to rollup) Cessna where I felt a bit cramped by the height, hurled myself out into a full loop, but tossed the PC before I came about - it hooked around my foot. Fortunately I was able to toe point like in a track and let it slip free to deploy, but it did burn some altitude. In a rush exit, or even just a lower 3k HnP, that would have been a low opening. This was during a canopy class so I got several more tries at it in that particular plane. Your canopy class will be a great opportunity to get better at this, and once you've got it, you can get to the point where you can exit and open within a couple hundred feet, which Pops points out is a rather important skill to have. I am one of those who learned the dive far sooner than the poised exit. Part of it I think is the height of many of the doors coupled with me being a bit stiff and inflexible after the ride up in steerage class. The King Air was much easier than the otter or the really short Pac, as the curved fuselage meant I could stand 6' tall inside. Or it may be my trouble with stepping out sideways, but wary of hopping up with that tail stablizer behind me, without imparting a twist. They taught me the dive for my HnPs out of a 182 and it stuck immediately for me. I could watch the prior exit, count off some time, and already be in position to dive out.

there are so many potential problems that can come up that I can't recommend anyone buy an AFF program upfront. The potential savings over pay as you go just don't warrant the buy-in. The would be jumper cannot reliably identify a DZ that might have weather issues, prioritize tandems, or just have a bad mesh with the instructors. I learned it the hard (well, the $$) way.

You bring up an obvious and simple solution to this gay marriage problem. If a same-sex couple wants to get married, one of them can just have a sex change. Then they can have a good old traditional marriage between one man and one woman. Everyone's happy; problem solved. So what's entailed in getting a sex change recognized? Do you have to be post-op? Or can you still be in the counseling phase? (oops, now the LDS cabal is going to define marriage as between a man and a woman as defined by their original birth certificate. If you don't have one (Obama), then you can never marry.)
