What does MFA think of my Summer attire? by whatisdookyin malefashionadvice

[–]bilabrin 1 point2 points ago

You know the look isn't too bad as an attention getter so long as you have the walk to go with it but instead of green I might go yellow for the shirt and wear a black belt and shoes with a black felt hat with a long purple feather in it. And leave the top few shirt buttons open. And make sure the tips of the shoes come to a point.

Yeah I am very weary of the whole catwoman idea. I still remeber michelle phiefer....ugh

I hope they can make another Batman movie as good as Batman Begins but after the last one I have serious doubts...especially due to all the high praise that one got...and in anticipation of a disgreement here are the specific problems I had with the last movie:

The plot was a jumbled mess and a thinly veiled apologetic for the war on terror. Many of the theads tied up in only a very loose and sloppy way. It was like they tried to cram 2 movies into one. Spiderman 3 had this problem as well.

I did not feel a deep connection to any of the main charachters.

Sure how about America 1776-1913.

The industrial revolution did more to bring peasant immigrants out of penury than any period in human history allowing millions and millions of Europeans who came here due of the economic freedoms in America to go from cramped tenements to having large families and owning businesses.

History is not going to highlight this for you because history is only a record of tragedies. Charles Dickens missed quite a bit.

This also allowed us to develop, in a very short time, the economic base which gave way to our military superiority and allowed us to fight the good fight in WW2.

Spain nationalises Bankia as euro crisis escalates by Aethelstanin Economics

It's not Koolaid.

The rich use their money to create jobs.

Either they buy things or they put it in a bank or they start companies.

If they put it in a bank the bank invests it in companies.

All job creating activities.

The difference between the rich having this money and the government having it is that the rich actually care if it's wasted or not.

The government does not. The government is not incentivized to make sure the money goes into things that society want's needs and desires. It can just pry it from the workers with threat of force in the name of the "greater good."

Rich people do not have this luxury...if they want to stay rich or get richer they have to actually be efficient, invest wisely and make sure that consumers are satisfied. This is not easy. They spend a LOT of time thinking about this and a lot of them fail... The ones who do not fail do not fail because they have created prosperity....even for the poor.

The government could tax this money from the rich (and does) and then waste is on high minded failures with little to no consequence for this failure.

They too are doomed but the dominoes will fall in a certain order and some countries are better than others in positioning themselves.

Every country who goes off hard money invites inflationary chaos due to speculators and will inevitably exprience monetary collapse. It's like we learned nothing from the fall of Rome.

Im fairly sick of compromise in economic matters. The are based primarily in math and if I know that 1+1=2 and you insis that 1+1=4 it would be absurd to compromise and say that 1+1=3.

And scare banks away forever.. I got no problem with going back to hard money but that's an abrupt and painful way to do it... like quitting heroin cold turkey.

There are very few elite but tons of poor and middle class. Tax increases on the wealthy will not bring in as much as small cuts in benifits to the rest but it will choke off job creation.

I found out the girl I'm seeing is going on holiday with her ex by looking through her phone. How can i bring this up? by My_Private_Accountin relationships

[–]bilabrin 1 point2 points ago

For what it's worth I recently started falling out of love...it's been a year. I still think about her all the time but I can finally see a future without her in it and not have panick attacks.

So for what It's worth...It does get better.

Banks are toast. Governments are gonna default en masse.

The dominoes are gonna fall mercilessly because the people in these socialist countries refuse to accept any cuts in government spending which affects thier quality of life.

This is what happens when you let people who take a government check vote.

Instead of paying off my student loans, I'm paying for your Viagra prescription... by babyowlzrusin politics

No the probem is that only 18% of young people who can vote DO vote and 60% of the elderly who can vote DO vote. It seems like a fixable problem.

Comparing Gary Johnson to Past Libertarian Party Nominees - He has the most executive experience and the potential to win votes from conservatives and liberals. by davidreiss666in Libertarian

[–]bilabrin -3 points-2 points ago

Romney is not ideal by any means but BHO is the most anti-libertarian president in my lifetime. I don't want to see people I love suffer or die of riots or mauraders.

I'm voting Romney this year because if Obama get's re-elected then GOD HELP US ALL.

This from a guy who has donated over $1200 to Ron Paul and voted for Harry Browne in 1996.

I'd be willing to bet that 90% of these protesters have at least one set of nice clothes for weddings and funerals.
