And tell me, someone of such a high stature and wealth still feels it neccessary to engage with us the lowest of the low on some political debate forum? WWWTT Nah, not of that high of stature…….I’d be counted amongst the 99%………As for why I choose to post here, well probably the same reason(s) as yourself and others. Quote
Guest Derek L Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 I think they have some points though.. tuition for college / uni is much too high these schools can afford to make it more affordable Sure tuition is high, I’ve have two teenagers in high school………..but, a well rounded University education has to be looked at as an investment………Some invest wisely, some waste their (parents) money.

Guest Derek L Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 not much of an investment if you owe 80, 000 Well if you’re making 80k a year, for thirty years, that’s not a bad return………Even if you’re making 50k a year, that’s still not bad......think longview. Quote

Really?!? Then why do you feel it neccessary to flaunt/rub our noses in it? Why make such claim if you can not prove it? If you went to the bank and said to them "Hey my name is Derek L,I make $250/hr,my wife makes more and I want a loan/line of credit for millions of dollars." Would the bank say "Hey no problem,don't worry about showing us any deeds/titles to property you own,pay stubs,employer letters,bank statements,investment statements,last years tax return" What makes you think you can convince me?

WWWTT Well you have a point……..I’ll come clean, I actually work part time at the local Esso, pumping gas…….Does that make you feel better? Quote
Guest Derek L Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 20 years a go that would work but jobs arent long term anymore That is true and will likely get “worse” as time goes on…it depends how adaptable a person makes themselves though as an end result………and how willing a person is to leave their “comfort zone” from time to time……..The best mantra regarding employment that I’ve hear (and have followed) is that you’re not committed to any one job.

GostHacked Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 For sure……..guns and ammo aren’t cheap………Trying to convince the wife that $2500 for an Armalite M4 is a good deal is no small task The CR-15 is a nice and inexpensive rifle. Got plenty of options as well. Quote
Guest Derek L Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 The CR-15 is a nice and inexpensive rifle. Got plenty of options as well. Do you mean CZ-15? If so, not big on eastern euro weapons........ Quote
GostHacked Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 It would....for about one 24 hour news cycle. I'm already boored with them...next! Don't worry they can diagnose children as young as 4 for ADHD, so there is hope for you yet. Quote
GostHacked Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 Do you mean CZ-15? If so, not big on eastern euro weapons........ Crap sorry AR-15. Quote
Guest Derek L Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Crap sorry AR-15. That's what I'm looking at AR = Armalite rifle Many companies make versions based on the classic M16/AR-15 design…….ArmaLite & Colt are just the best……..My Boy and I both have Ruger SR-22s for killing paper, I’ll probably end up getting the Ruger’s grown-up version SR-556 For nearly a 2/3rds the price…….. I've no Complaints with any of the firearms I’ve purchased from them (10/22, SR-22s and my Mini-14 & Mini 30) Edited October 17, 2011 by Derek L Quote

The name is Walden Schmidt, a guy who made a billion when one of the Silicon Valley big guns bought up his dot. com company. Got it. Only made it through about half the first episode………Did watch the Sheen roast after though Q: How much Cocaine can Charlie Sheen do? A: Enough to kill two & half men Quote

Topaz Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 Why doesn't the U and Israel get together and make Israel a territory of the US, and then the US can say to Iran, IF you mess with Israel, you'll deal with the US military! I do think there's more behind than what we are being told. Quote

Guest Derek L Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 Would the half man be Sheen? The Warlock from Mars………I dunno, the roast was pretty funny……The one they did back awhile ago on William Shatner was good too Quote

I do think there's more behind than what we are being told. No need really, the Israelis have their own nukes…….and any major interference with Israel though, it has been implied that the US will support them…….Under Obama, that’s questionable though Quote
DogOnPorch Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 That's what I'm looking at AR = Armalite rifle ...a child could carry it...do it no harm... Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Guest Derek L Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 ...a child could carry it...do it no harm... Never heard of them, sounds kind of like the Clash……..I’m assuming they are referring to the AR-18 (off shoot of the AR-15 design) though….It was one of the more “popular” western weapons used by the IRA, hence I assume the lyrics to the song……….5.56 NATO/.223 Remington, the cartridge of choice for western militaries, police forces, groups wishing to start their own religion and those that fear the coming apocalypse by the zombie hordes.
