    Kids = worthless investment?

    If that's the case, then you raised some shit kids. I want my mom and dad to live as many years as possible... they should consume every last penny they have accumulated... and once they go through that, I am happy to spend what resources I can to make them comfortable... I owe them -- they made...

    Kids = worthless investment?

    Well, it doesn't literally have to be on your death bed. I am sure Genghis Khan got great pleasure in seeing Kublai and his other sons ride off and destroy cities and bring back booty in his later years when Genghis wasn't fit to ride to the edges of his empire and kick more ass. Likewise...

    Kids = worthless investment?

    The problem for those economists is that they cannot accurately quantify the pleasure/mental-emotional benefit from having children in the developed, Western world. In the third world, it makes absolute economic sense to have many children. That's why dirt poor third-worlders have lots of...

    You know, it's the oddest thing, but Rocky III explains so much about life.

    Kids = worthless investment?

    True. But when you are on your death bed, there is satisfaction in knowing some part of you will continue on. Who would you rather be Genghis Khan, or some childless guy who died at the end of Genghis Khan's sword?

    Kids = worthless investment?

    You can't put a price on moving your genes forward in the time. It's is a kind of immortality. I know this couple in their 50s, and they never had kids. They make it a point to go to a tropical resort every Xmas. They seem kinda sad to me... there ain't nothing like being surrounded by...

    If you can take too much vitamins. Can you take too much capitalism and get sick?

    Who you gonna fight in this civil war? The 0.01% who sell off their remaining stuff and move to Singapore? Or, are you gonna fight the new Chinese overlords who buy up everything with their massive surplus of dollars? You might as well start the revolution now because kicking Obama's and The...

    Pirated movie shown on national TV. Intellectual property is dead.

    What? No Will Smith turning on his ghetto-accent and saying, "Oh-no, he didd eeen't" while he punches out a space alien/zombie/bad guy/mechanical spider? Who wants to live in a world like that?

    Only the little people pay taxes

    I'd gladly go back to the Federal income tax rates charged in Ben Franklin's day.

    Why do Americans go to expensive lib art schools?

    Because our system is designed to keep a significant portion of our youth out of the labor market until they are in their mid to late-20s. Our society encourages an extension of the "teenage" years until people reach about 30. Why? Because we have the baby boomers who are at the apex of their...

    Where did the jobs go?

    I did a modest kitchen remodel in 2005, and dealing with the schlock vendors was a job in itself. The fridge salesman didn't want to talk to you unless you were buying a Sub-Zero and a Viking range. You had to make an appointment to talk to a "lighting specialist" to sell you some pendant lights...

    Ron Paul: Crotch Groped by TSA, Calls for Boycott of Airlines

    Yeah... that, or Abdullah the Bad Guy could just mold a piece of plastic explosive to look like a turd, and stick it up his keister, then use various parts of an iPad as a power source and initiator for the bomb. All he would have to do is poop out the explosive, and he would be good to go.
