Alot of mongers on here think the more they pay for it the better and cleaner the pussy is and a cuter younger girl. Others complain that the prices are too high and what they use to pay 60 for is now 150 to 200. That is true. Inflation isn't it its pure the need for their habit. Cash and dash Yep they do that too. Streetwalkers posting ads yes they are there's more money in it for them. That's what its all about. As much money as they can get to hit a Lick and next, I hear a lot of mongers say he barebacks so what weather you use a cover or not its his or her choice and yours too. Weather its a 40 dollar girl or a 400 high end girl if that's what you think she is. The main thing is trying to find one or two that pleases you the way you want it to be. Have fun and be safe.
[QUOTE=DNut;5552975]Actually it's based on 4 posts; the 2 initial homophobic rage post, 1 reaction post, and the last post with the aforementioned "I know you are, but what am I?" rebuttal. But I did notice that you felt the need to inject yourself into a situation you weren't a party to, and did so with a diagnosis of your own. Based on your lack of knowledge of the previous posts and assumption that there has only been 1 post discussing Freudian and Jungian philosophies, I would say did not do your research. You took a stab at insult without knowing the protagonists in the discussion; a stab in the dark, without an invite, because you have a need to be included.
I surmise you were that kid who was picked last at games, often included in play only at the behest of adults trying to get you out of their way. That would certainly explain your intrusion.
As for projecting, that's Freudian (subconscious trying to be the conscious), and we already left that. Do try to keep up.[/QUOTE]No I was merely alluding to the asinine analysis of posts on a discussion board, and drawing complex personality traits from limited information. You might as well be reading tea leaves or tarot cards. As to inserting myself into this discussion. This is a public forum for like minded individuals. You involved everyone in this discussion when you posted here and not in the private messages. It was hardly a stab in the dark attributing characteristics of ourselves onto others behaviors.
Your analysis of me is wrong but cute in its attempt at an insult. I imagine your use of well known names such as Freud and jungian is to hide your insecurities. As is the constant accusations of homosexuality is to cover up your attraction to to boys as a child or an experience willing or forced in your past. I imagine you were average in your childhood group, who idolized the leader of the group. Either at that ages confusing admiration for sexual feelings, or the alpha convinced you into a sexual liaison. Your becoming territorial over your discussion probably lends itself to your insecurities.
See how easy psychoanalysis is. Also, although insightful in some ways I find Freud to be outdated, long winded, and relying on other people's work.

[QUOTE=BengalMan;5548154]What's always funny to me regarding taxes is that the rich have multitudes of ways to lower and lower and lower their AGI.
If you guys think they pay 39% on all the money they earn, you are smoking bad stuff from South America. I'm certainly not rich, but even I have ways of lowering my AGI. A rich guy might have $2. 5 million in income, and end up paying taxes on 300 K.
Poor shmucks can't do that.
And don't even get me started on the simple fact that the 39% is only applied to the highest end of the 300 K not the whole amount.
Guys I am Republican. I used to have country club membership and hang out with the other bankers, lawyers and insurance guys. We used to be the party. Now it's just disgruntled old white guys who hate immigrants and could barely get a GED.[/QUOTE]Late, but this is exactly why the tax code will never change in this country. Every tax change is always to percentages, but never to policy. Its like this for a reason, the reason you just outlined above. The us tax code is the most advantageous to businesses. The ability to carry forward / back losses to offset profits, accelerated deprecation, a multitude of deductions, etc that bring down taxable income. And yet, with that being said. I hate to admit it, but the rich pay way more in taxes than the avg person (as they should tho, because they disproportionately use and benefit from public services as well). If looking at dollar amount of taxes paid per tax bracket, the higher you go, the less people there are and they more they pay in taxes overall. I'm just an avg layman myself, but fortunately with a decent job / career, but I hate hearing peers complain about taxes. Considering corporations are triple taxed (fica, income, capital gains) and if you're a person with a paycheck and any dependents you basically pay nothing in taxes, even less if you have a house. I'm definitely not a republican, FYI.

The idea of entities, religious or otherwise, is so that in theory, they would have more funds by which to provide for the beneficiaries of their mission. This is all well and good, until the said organizations starts using their savings to build up a war chest with no indication that the tax free savings afforded them will be used. Even for profit businesses like hospitals, when owned by "tax free" groups like churches, don't pay taxes because their income is Channeled through the tax free parent group.
So, here's a proposal. Tax free entities are only allowed to bank a specific number of year's worth of operating expenses. It could be 2, 3, 5 years, just so if there's a downturn in the economy, they have the means to ride out lower contributions. But there needs to be cap. Once that level is reached, then that is no longer "tax free", but taxed at a significant rate. As for employees of non-profits, I propose they adopt the Ben&Jerry model. The top earning employee cannot make more than 7 x more than the lowest paid employee. (that was the case until Ben&Jerry was bought by Unilever, then after that no policy). Tax free status is a gift from the taxpayers for the benefit of those who need help; not the enrich management.

(Remember that? All this bullshit about taxes is just that--bullshit. Some of you guys complain that the wealthy don't actually pay the 39% rate because of deductions they're entitled to. Well, duh! A simple question: when you do your taxes, do you look for ways to INCREASE them or do you look for way to DECREASE them? Whether you coniser it "fair" or not, they're simply taking advantage of what's available to them--same as everybody else.
And then there's the comments that the "average" or "lower" wage-earners don't have those deductions available to them. Again, duh! I believe the latest statistics show that less than 50% (or somewhere around that level) of the working population actually pay ANY taxes. So, of course they don't have adjustments available to them--a huger percentage of them aren't paying anything to begin with. And those that do have to pay are most likely paying a lesser percentage than the wealthy. Naturally, there are exceptions but, generally speaking, that's is the way it is.
Now here's a novel idea regarding corporate taxes: get rid of them! The ONLY people who pay ANY taxes are consumers. Raise the corporate tax rate and up goes the cost of goods. Let's face it, every time McDonald's has to pay higher taxes (state, federal, whatever), the price of their hamburgers goes up. Ditto for Procter & Gamble, GM, Apple and every other business. Obviously, it would never happen because the general public is too stupid to understand this simple concept--they'd rather "punish" big, bad corporate America.

I also like hte idea of making them become similar to non-profit /501 c3 orgs in that they have to keep detailed books and records, and their goal as an organization isn't to drive profits. So in any years / periods they have any profit they either have to reinvest those funds in the organization, send out bonuses to some / all employees, donate the money, etc. Then, preachers could still skim from the tithes but at a higher, legal level. For example, they could account for all income, all operating expenses and any other cash outflows, and anything left over hte preacher could just give as a bonus to himself and the deacons if he wanted to be nice. The only "downfall" would be the necessity to have more detailed accounting records from your local church in the hood. However, the increased compliance / necessity could create a need for more jobs in that area of tax / audit / accounting / compliance both in government and in the private sector. Imagine crossroads having a team of accountants and auditors on the payroll.
