    130K toilet. Economy has to be good if this is selling.

    Be honest...if you were the plumber that installed that toilet and nobody was looking...would you take a shit in it first? :P If I bought the toilet for $130k, I know that would seriously piss me off that someone used it before me.

    Interesting what is considered "Poverty" in this country. A family of 4 making $45k per year ($3,750 per month) and thats poverty? About 2 years ago, I saw this woman in the philippines who had 10 children and she earned $300 per month, but somehow she was able to make that stretch to feed...

    Apparently cocaine costs $559 per gram in Dubai...

    I also tried it only once. My cousin bought 3 grams and we shared it among 4 of us. It was great while it lasted, but a few hours later and I felt a great depression of unhappiness. My cousin said that was normal, so I never wanted to try it again. In my opinion cocaine is a drug that...

    Apparently cocaine costs $559 per gram in Dubai...

    http://news.yahoo.com/dubai-seizes-93-kg-cocaine-worth-52-mn-095534582.html Really love it how law enforcement pads the numbers to make it look like a bigger bust than it was. Basically you could buy 2 kilos of cocaine in columbia for $3k and resell it for over $1.1 million in Dubai and...

    What is the optimum tax rate on the wealthy?

    I like the idea of a 10% tax on everyone on anything you make (no tax loopholes for this) which goes to providing for the common good (roads, schools, military, ect) then another non-mandatory 10% to go to charity(welfare, food stamps, social security, medicare, ect) The non-mandatory 10%...

    crazy christians:'Harry Potter and yoga are evil', says Catholic Church

    This assumes that the physical world is the base point for all events though. You can't know that all base points start in the physical world. If you dont get what I mean, then think of the physical world like a dream, but a dream you have never woke up from. In the dream its nearly...

    It seemed cheaper to eat out than go to the store - even before this

    $5 cheese or pepperoni pizza at little ceasars. That will last me for a full 24 hours of food.

    crazy christians:there is no such thing as rape.

    Mormons are not Christians. Their beliefs are so much different. for instance....they believe God lives on Planet Kolob and if you do enough missionary work here on earth then one day you will get your own planet and get to create spirit babies. Mormons are also told to do whatever it...

    Wealth transfer to third world countries causing much of the financial crisis

    Not enough that they can buy without driving the price up and causing massive inflation. Gold? Imagine china trying to buy a trillion dollars worth of gold. How fast would gold hit $50k per oz? Or what about oil? How easy would it be to buy 1 billion barrels of oil without the price going...

    Wealth transfer to third world countries causing much of the financial crisis

    There is no wealth transfer to 3rd world countries. We pay them in dollars which they then can only spend on t-bonds so that money just goes back to us. I know what you are thinking...we pay interest on those bonds....yes, but we pay the interest in dollars which they can only then use to...

    Intelligence? Talent? No, the ultra-rich got to where they're thru luck & brutality

    It works the other way too. A true friend doesnt go begging another friend for money to help launch his new ketchup popsicle franchise that he is sure is going to be the biggest new trend. When you have money (or people think that you have money) its amazing how many people come out of the...
