I didn't read your previous posts to others so if I go off of what you are trying to point out, my bad. I wouldn't say drugs have no value, I say it has a negative value. Users affect everyone else around them, bring undesirables into neighborhoods. they begin to not care and everyone else has to experience thier blight. It's just not the same as skydiving where a passion took you. this is about something of a decay that takes you. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

People generally accept personal physical risk way over psychological and social damage of themselves or people around them. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

You will have to convince the majority voter on this. There is a difference between physical dangers of alcohol and the social and mental harm that is usually associated with pot usage. It is a good idea. It's against the Law. Sorry, but that's the truth. You can blame ingorance of the general populace if you want, but if you are willing to break the rules, you have to pay. Rebelling is the lazy and inmature way to affect change though. If you don't like the law, you have to change it. Or, you are a very stupid type of criminal who goes to jail for something that silly as possession. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Different culture, different people, different industrial level. Different need requirements for not having trace substance per job description. The U.S. is very neurotic compared to most European countries, my travel experience has shown me. Legalized drugs is not a good idea here. If you believe we can have this stuff around and available and taxed, you haven't been paying attention to Cable TV and the programs created out of popular viewer demand. We already have issues with Alcohol. We don't need other crap to worrry about. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

No. Not even with Mexico's permission. These guys are a different threat to the U.S. They aren't the traditional "terrorist" who wants America to disappear. Actually, they love the demand we cause. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

They couldnt take the TARP money. Laws are different between credit unions and banks. Credit unions who brag about not taking TARP money are not being genuine. Besides, all major banks had to take the TARP regardless if they needed it or not. This to prevent investors to run to the banks that didn't need it and cause the others to collapse; the reason behind the TARP in the first place. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Telling your fellow American to go fuck themselves is being patriotic? How? Personally I don't like credit unions. Their service always suck. they lose your money, do not have many instruments to invest in, and they are not all over the place. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Well, prices of homes are now at 2002 prices; the last year before demand inflated the prices of homes. So, price wise, housing has recovered. Now if you want to wait till the 2007-08 prices when they were at their peak, you are just going to have to wait till "normal" housing value increases to happen. Like say, 20 to 30 years. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Blind greed does cause moronic behavior. Who cares about if the mortgagee can pay the note as long as the lender can pawn it off to the CDO bond makers to supply the high demand of these "safe investments". _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

sucks how credit worthiness and ability to pay the note are two different things. You can have a credit score of over 800 and barely clear 30K a year if you have a low credit utilization balance and perfect on-time payments, but have over 1M in net worth, pay bills on time but a higher credit utilization and find yourself with a lower score than the guy above. (lets assume paying all balance off is an ability but will take 10% off your liquid assets) _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

my inebriated brain says "0". Don't know why. Seems like gravitational forces and the sudden loss of mass would cause some sort of disentigration. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

You do not need to be a U.S citizen to serve. You cannot hold a Secret clearance, but you can still serve. Long as you swear to support and defend. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Yeah, I fukkered that one up. I have the answer now, but the "quick thought" has already expired. I won't divulge the second part of the answer so someone else can have a go at it. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

That's cheating! Besides, I would still get hypoxic trying to build one. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Sometimes, lack of expeirence. Based on a story told by an E-2 Hawkeye pilot: There were upgrades in the cockpit and some of the new advanced instruments went from analog needles to digital readouts. Problem the builders didn't think about was the fact that with a busy part of flight, like carrier ops, needles waving in your perihipreal vision catches the attention better than changing digital readouts, especially if the readouts are constantly changing as the norm. Sometimes engineers aren't pilots or the Subject Matter Experts cannot ever predict the behavior characteristics of an airframe never previously built. I don't think there has never been a military aircraft that hasn't killed one test pilot. I could be wrong though. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

I think there's a much easier explaination behind the flaws of this test: Test writers always know what the answer to the test he is writing. He can complicate a simple problem easily. Matter of fact, as curriculum develepers learn quickly, it's easy it fudge up writing a question that results in an answer the developer doesn't want. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

I remember this. An old "test" that only proves the test writer has a mind of a four year old. Written pesumably by a company that doesn't or didn't exist. Doesn't test anything. And yes, I am just mad because I failed it _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Thank you. The answer is: There is no such thing as an American Value or American National Identity. Usually people who say these kind of things are ignorant and/or racist. I'm pretty sure his "American Values" is different than my values. The author fails to realize that he is calling one type of culture in the U.S as superior. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
