  Re: Re: Re: Re: The IRS should be used to go after real crooks: The Rich.

  What I don't get is people who think the "rich" are somehow evil or bad for wanting to make money. We all want to make money. The way to make money is through productivity. Businesses grow in spurts, you increase your productivity in spurts in order to grow your business. One way to increase productivity is to hire people to help. But you're not going to hire people to help if they aren't going to grow your business by at least as much as they're going to cost you. Business owners are job creators, but only if they have the other tools to grow their business. They're not just going to hire people willy nilly because they have the money.
  
  Honestly...I don't get what's so hard to understand about the concept.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Not monthly

  2 dollars per episode is way too much money. I'd pay 2 dollars per month per channel if there were commercials; 4 dollars if it were commercial free.

  I completely agree that anyone should be able to get married to whomever they want under the law. Under the church, though? That is completely different. No law can force doctrine on a church...it is writtin in the Constitution.

  Screw Air-Freshner and their poor spelling

  As far as I'm concerned Air-Freshner can die a quick death. I hate those little air fresheners anyway. The only people that use them are the same people who are too lazy to ever clean their car...so they smell like Evergreen Forrest AND moldy carpet. It's like people who smoke and then douse themselves with perfume/cologne...worst smell ever.

  Untrue. Why? Because it is your personal, private property and the 4th amendment says that you don't have to submit to a search of your personal, private property without a warrent.

  What do you mean, these days? You think anything has changed in the last millenium? News becomes history when it is accepted by the masses. If anything, news is becoming better because of social media...although, it still requires a discerning ear.

  MSNBC is worse. Fox's news stories remain fairly free of bias. Now their opinion stories, that's another matter. But you woudln't know that since you never actually read fox news stories, do you? How about developing your own opinion.
