If Ft. Hood was "workplace violence," then the Hindenburg was an air show.
I don't know if sand glows in the dark, but we're gonna find out.
I figured you'd wait until either New Year's Day or Top Primitives results were posted before creating this thread.
Towlie (1000+ posts) Mon Dec-27-10 01:52 PMOriginal message Algebra question: How to figure a Paypal payment. Can anyone help me? I have to pay people certain amounts by Paypal, and I have to pay more than what I actually owe each of those other people because Paypal take out some of the money for themselves, and I can't penalize those others because I'm paying them with Paypal.The Paypal policy is to first take out 30 cents, then take 2.9% of what's left. The remainder goes to the recipient. What formula can I use to figure out how much to pay so that the recipients get what I owe them?If you know the answer, please drop by this thread later on and post your opinion. Thanks.

The difference between liberals and rightwingers I have found Edited on Wed Dec-29-10 09:25 PM by tabathais that liberals like to make sure that what they think is right (fact checking), whereas conservatives like to think they are right no matter what the facts are.

hootinholler (1000+ posts) Mon Jan-03-11 04:10 PMOriginal messageIn these tough and troubling times, why are government contractors allowed a profit? Wouldn't it be their patriotic duty to cover the employee salaries and office overhead?We need to make the defense industry non-profit as the patriotic duty of the company involved. This will stimulate the business to seek profit in other sectors, hopefully with needed products. Until the profit is removed, or well diminished, I fear we have no hope to rein in the MIC.Just thinking...-Hoot

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

You and I disagree on that, as I am sure you know. I see a media that is conservative-dominated.
