    The US Economy and Current Financial Crisis

    Jerk, my understanding is that, generally, incomes are higher in places with higher costs of living like NYC, but generally not high enough to make up for the cost. That is the increased cost of living is generally greater proportionally than the increased income. Does that make sense? Can someone who's lived in Smalltown USA and a major, expensive city verify this?

    Happy St. Patrick's Day

    Anyone else on the board besides be and Kotzenjunge named Patrick?
  9. It is time to demand intellectual honesty across the board and to no longer tiptoe around the PC taboos which prevent us from openly criticizing religious ideas, beliefs, and practices. There are essential rules which underpin progress in every other field of knowledge, say physics or economics. We are not expected to simply respect someone's views on, say, mathematics; instead, we both demand reasons and expect evidence. Anyone who fails to substantiate their point of view, or resents questioning is no longer taken seriously when it comes to conversation on these topics. The respect & esteem that we accord to religious ideologies is a double standard. In a world in which people routinely blow themselves up, murder their neighbors, & refuse to give condoms to victims of AIDS--all in the name of faith--we ignore this double standard at our own peril. Furthermore, the current state religion in the United States is a national embarrassment. 44 percent of Americans believe that Jesus will probably return within the next fifty years. This is roughly the same number who think that creationism should be taught in schools, to the complete exclusion of evolution; or that God has literally promised the land of Israel to the modern-day Jews. There are profound & disastrous public policy outcomes related to this silliness. The taboo against criticizing religion muddles the greatest present threat to world civilization: Islam. The primary response in the US & Europe to terrorist attacks such as that of 9/11 has been to pronounce Islam a "religion of peace", while simultaneously declaring a "war on terror". Islam is demonstrably not a "religion of peace" (nor is Christianity) and the "war on terror" moniker is meaningless. We need a war against religious dogma. Replacing religious conservatism & religious fundamentalism with religious moderation would be a huge step forward, but religious moderation is also a problem in & of itself. This is primarily because religious moderates embrace "toleration" of religious views, which, in reality, has shielded the religious whackos from criticism. If a reasonable person declares that it is asinine to believe that Mohammed flew to heaven on a winged horse or that Jesus was born from a virgin, we are being intolerant.

    Also, Czech, an eco-terrorist is the exact opposite of what you think it is.

    It bothered me that none of the Chris Simms posts made sense anymore after I switched the account to Randy Butts, so I edited all of the posts to link to non-consensual erotic fiction. When it was subsequently changed again to Jung Billz, I edited them to that grill ad you mentioned there. I haven't bothered doing that sort of thing with any of the other threads that my revolving door gimmick account has started. Have you publicly acknowledged your ownership of that gimmick previously?

    But all things considered, it was alarmingly accurate. It really was...I think my mom even likes King of Queens.

    A few inaccuracies: a. Dudley is a foreman! But actually in construction. b. My name, obv. c. Dudley & I get along. He's alright. d. Actually, my power was fine during the ice storm. Dudley & Mom's actually went out. e. Just shave the ol' noggin every other day. f. I get most of my news online, not from TV. g. Not really into "titty movies." h. I'm way too much of a health nut to eat Hot Pockets. i. Finally, and most importantly, while that picture does kind of look like the real Dudley, his 'stache is a little more Rollie Fingers-esque.
