Actually no amount of scrambling can cover how full of shit you are. You can't even understand that you can't come up with a taxable value without first knowing the actual value. Your link even explains that.

I'm not saying that at all. I just don't think a god has anything to do with it. I walk three times a week with a bunch of others who have lost their spouses. I know I'm not special.

Wow you guys can be thick It is no different from your income tax. Taxable income is based on your gross income minus deductions. Deductions just determine the amount you are taxed on, not your actual income. They can't determine your taxable income without knowing your gross income. Property taxes are no different. They have to determine the actual value of your property before they can determine the taxable value just like they need to know your gross income before they can determine your taxable income. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Keep it up. It is no different from your income tax. Taxable income is based on your gross income minus deductions. Deductions just determine the amount you are taxed on, not your actual income. They can't determine your taxable income without knowing your gross income. Property taxes are no different. They have to determine the actual value of your property before they can determine the taxable value. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

He has already been nailed and this is just the beginning.

As the virus mutates, vaccines will have to be adjusted to accommodate them. No different from flu shots. Why do you care so much what others choose to do?

That's how they determine how much tax you will pay and to do that they have to come up with a value to apply any exemptions. Taxable value is determined from the assessed value. You obviously don't understand what you are reading.

Dude, you should read the links you post.

Tax assessments are based on the previous year's selling prices. That's why assessments go up and down. From the article you linked.

Property taxes are based on selling prices, not what you make up.

It isn't anyones to give. What is it you think I meant?

Actually it was blackbird, not you. I’m only wrestling with what happened because I miss her and because of what she is missing. I don’t need forgiveness and neither does she, certainly not from you.

Preaching the sanctity of life while embracing capital punishment is indeed being a little bit pregnant. No one should have to martyr themselves just to make you feel righteous.

Well then, obviously your god decided her life was to end by a nasty disease with more suffering than she ever deserved.

My wife was fit as hell, lived a healthy life, never smoked and drank very little and really wanted to live. Brain cancer killed her. God's will right. You can shove that god where the sun don't shine.

Some have but if so, Trump sure seems pissed about it.

I've read all 20 three times. O'Brian creates that historical period like no one since Jane Austin. Every time I have read them, I got something new out of them. The characters, customs, manners, science, prejudices, relationships and humour, recreate a world like I've never encountered in other historical fiction and I read a lot of it. Many of the incidents described, as impossible as they may seem, were actually taken from the exploits of captains like Cochrane and Hoste. Frigate captains were the rock stars of their day. These books have been called the best historical fiction of all time and I have never come across anything to equal them and that includes the likes of Cornwell, Iggulden and Goldsworthy. When it comes to Nelson's navy, not even CS Forrester comes close. The hardest part is getting through the first novel and becoming accustomed to the 18th century English the characters use and all the technical terms. It's a real education. I know a lot of people who say they struggled with the first book. Well worth the effort in my opinion.

Why not?

Good god, you are really from the stone age. Vaccines have saved untold millions of lives. Before universal vaccination, smallpox alone killed millions. Now it no longer exits because of vaccines. Smallpox, measles and chicken pox killed millions of indigenous people in North America because there were no vaccines and they had no natural immunity to new diseases brought by Europeans. Even now, if you have had chicken pox, you are vulnerable to shingles later in life. A disease that can be far worse than the chicken pox. But now you can get effective vaccines for shingles as well. I've had five shots and so do most people I know. According to you, we should all have three heads and our testicles should have fallen off by now.

Only in your head and you do not get to rule other peoples lives according to what you think your god intended. We do not live in a theocracy, Christian or otherwise. If you like them so much, move to Iran. Yes you did explain capital punishment. Blackbird's god says killing is wrong until blackbird justifies it on his own terms. People are choosing to die on their own terms. If that offends you, that's your problem, not theirs.

Not if the AG makes her case. An appeals court will not ignore evidence, nor will they appreciate a defendant trashing another judge in public. Trump's bullying will get him nowhere in a court room. Quite the opposite.

Aww.

John Kelly, former Trump Whitehouse chief of staff.

Your god has no business being someone else's problem unless it is their choice. So why are you in favour of capital punishment?
