And you're willing to extend the tenuous justification for banning hard drugs (intertemporal externalities) to a wholesale dictatorial "readjustment" of everyone's preferences? How about you just let people enjoy what they do, you enjoy what you do, and otherwise leave each other the **** alone?Originally posted by Al B. Sure! View PostComment

He was a strawman for rich wall street executives, and was a character in the movie (wait for it) Wall Street.Originally posted by gribbler View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Well I've told him to join the military. If he could get into Swarthmore, he should be mentally qualified to be a military officer.Originally posted by flash9286 View Post
For Curtis: I can't speak on the other branches but you need a 1250+ SAT (old style scoring), a 3.3+ college GPA, a physical fitness test score of at least 275 and have no criminal, medical, or tattoo issues to be competitive for the Marine Corps.
A 275 PFT score may not be enough to prepare you for the rigors of OCS, though. I had a 279 and still developed fractures in my legs.
I'm serious. Don't think oh I'll look into teaching for a year and then apply and go to OCS. While the Army may be crazy easy (I don't know but it seems like it is), don't underestimate the damage OCS can do to your body. You NEED to prepare physically at least a year in advance of your class date at a bare minimum.

We already out spend the next 60 or so countries combined in military spending and most of those 60 countries are allies so we should be slashing military spending by 50% rather then increasing it still higher. Every penny we waste on the military (beyond the needed deterrent amount) is ultimately money wasted and not spent on more productive uses.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

You realize, AS, that what this means is that your "money isn't everything" piece is really just an expression of "what you want is less important than what I want".Comment

To be fair, HC's life was full of dangers and pitfalls which he's overcome too... one's own bathroom is statistically the most likely place one will be injured... it's amazing that any of his family survived
