    U.K. Prepares For Deep Budget Cuts

    Yeah, now the good people of england who are not so good at math will now be able to be sure that they are paying the correct amount of VAT and not being "cheated" by the government. I cant even imagine that anyone would ever want to move to the UK with that type of taxation going on.

    Student Loans are a Terrible Idea

    I'm pretty sure it would be illegal to charge an interest rate based on your major. I'm sure there is a steering law that prevents this charging a higher interest rate for a bullsh*t major. The GPA part might fly though.

    Student Loans are a Terrible Idea

    Yeah, and i suppose in 2004-2006 when housing was going through the roof had nothing to do with everyone and their mother qualifying for a loan. The cost of a house = homeowners raising their sell prices like crazy + international buyers + US buyers. Right? Easy to get loan and countless...

    Student Loans are a Terrible Idea

    I believe the university takes out their cut for tuition first (and student housing if they live on campus) Students get a check for whats left over. For instance...tuition & room and board come out to 10k and the student gets a student loan for 15k...so when the student gets his check its...

    Student Loans are a Terrible Idea

    In 1791 tuition at Georgetown was about $90 per year. In gold that was about 4.5 oz. (gold was $20 per oz) In 1982 tuition at Georgetown was $10,750 or about 25 oz of gold. (gold was about $400 per oz) For 2010 tuition at Georgetown is $56,660 or 45 oz of gold. (gold $1,250 per oz)...

    These are the things that happen when society does not accept homosexuality

    You know, you could change almost every one of those examples from "homosexual" to something like say "ex-con" or "schizophrenic" and it would work. In either case, you do not want any of those types of people around your children and you definately dont want your child to become one of them.

    Moronic Louisiana lawmakers propose prayer to stop oil disaster.

    Prayer calms and relaxes the body & mind. When the mind is relaxed it can think better and clearer and come up with ideas and solutions to problems. Running around in a stressful panic does not work as well. Look at traders for example. How many successful traders do you know who trade...

    Why stock777 is a freaking seer

    You didnt really predict anything though, did you? I mean...I guess you could've told us to short TOL, but then again, we would only be up 30% over the last 4 years had you done that(a compounded 6.8% per year..woo hoo...not bad!) You pretty much didnt tell us anything other than you dont...

    Where the world's millionaires live

    Wow, you are poor. According to ebay 2.5 quadrillion zim dollars go for about $14 US. Cant even buy a meal at mcdonalds for less than a quadrillion. http://cgi.ebay.com/Zimbabwe-Currency-50-Trillion-UNC-BILLS-x-50-2008-/200485274868?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Coins_Banknotes_GL&hash=item2eadda84f4

    Another day, another record high in gold.

    If someone had absolutely no gold or silver, I would tell them to buy here, absolutely. With all the money printing going on, the only way to keep your savings safe is buying gold & silver. If buying gold & silver was a bad bet, why would so many central banks be adding gold to their...

    Another day, another record high in gold.

    Check again. Your Gold chart was over 20 years while my AAPL chart was over 10. They had the same correction at the same time period, only on your chart it doesnt look like it lasted as long because your chart the years are bunched closer together.

    Another day, another record high in gold.

    Yeah...should probably dump anything with a chart that looks like that, like this chart of AAPL. I mean if AAPL was $25 when Gold was $250, and now AAPL is $270 and gold is $1260...that must mean AAPL is REALLY ready to drop...I mean since we are only looking at charts. If gold made those...

    Preparing for the forthcoming assault on liberty, trading, and capital

    If I remember right, you still have to pay taxes to the US some 10 years after you give up citizenship.

    Best paying job if you are uneducated & unemployed = Bum

    Pro free market and pro capitalism....but we are still against false advertising. Many people give because they think the bums barely make enough to eat. If people knew the bums were making more than them, I doubt they would give. I mean, would you give to a charity where the CEO was...

    Obama to G20: USA to halve deficit by 2013

    Obama has inspired me to cut down on my debt too. I'm going to reduce my debt to creditors by 50% by 2013 also. And just like the way Obama does things, first I'm going to pick up that new big screen TV, buy a new car, get my kitchen & bathrooms remodeled, and buy a new wardrobe. Thats...

    Another day, another record high in gold.

    How about that the central banks are buying more and more gold now. Hmm...I wonder what thats about? Dont they trust their own paper? http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Central-banks-join-the-gold-cnnm-2069872900.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=5&asset=&ccode=

    UK should cut healthcare

    Best paying job if you are uneducated & unemployed = Bum

    Yep...they get animals just so you will give them money. Its one of their tactics as they know many americans would let a man starve before they let a dog starve. This article confirms its one of the beggars weapons of choice...

    cant keep count of the lowlife out there

    So that equates to about $1.8 million dollars per person. Not a bad haul if you dont get caught. Gotta have some guts though to try to pull something off like that, that so much paperwork goes back to you. They were just asking to get caught. I bet they all said..."Just one more score, and...
