Why do Majority of Jews vote Democratic?

[FlyerInHi]

Yes.
The cities centers are very expensive.
Average people live in flats in suburbs and commute 1 hour each way to work by train.

They do have more vacation time and univeral health care. Less disposable income to buy consumer goods.

And having a lot of money would impress some europeans?

FlyerInHI:

Depends which city center. London and Paris are much more expensive (to buy) than NYC. Berlin is about $400 per sq ft in a decent central area. About 1/2 to 1/3 the price of acceptable NYC property. East European city centers can be half to 1/3 that of Berlin, since incomes are correspondingly lower.

BTW – commuting 1 hour isn’t unheard of in the US 😉 How many people commute from Vista, Escondido, or La Mesa on clogged freeways into San Diego?

[FlyerInHi]

flu, Europeans have been impressed by our money since the industrial revolution.

spd, yes, Berlin is the place to be in Europe right now.

BTW, Germany, previously the sick man of Europe, reformed. It’s more USA-like now and accepts more immigrants than any country after America.

San Diego freeways are not congested compared to the roads in Europe. Commuting from Temecula would be too much, but within the county is OK. In the comfort of your own SUV! Yes, mind-numbing, but people don’t want philosophical stimulation or serendipitous meetings. They want to sit their fat asses in air-conditioned bubbles listening to talk-radio.

I didn’t know that europeans would be so impressed with our money. I mean, they got this thing going on called the Euro..And I would think for folks that aren’t nearly as materialistic as us americans, that they wouldn’t be so easily impressed with our money, wouldn’t you?

I’m not quite following what you are saying here. Are you saying that we should commute from temecula or should we not… And I don’t quite understand how it’s related to to philosophical stimulation versus talk radio being listened by “fat asses”… If I were to guess, it seems to make sense that if we have short commute times, that probably would be better for the environment, though it would be detrimental to having intellectually stimulating conversations…But if we have longer commute times, it would be worse for the environment but possibly better wrto having more intellectually stimulating conversations….It seems like there is a direct trade off between intellectually stimulating conversations and the environment, especially when it comes to commuting.

Discuss.

Wait. Spdr loved someone 20 years older and wanted to age to be peers? That’s odd.

I’m having trouble wrapping my head around having sex with someone so old but I cut her slack cause she’s my wife

Why is that so horrible, scaredy? Your wife is 20 years older?

[FlyerInHi]

People look at me weird when I say I want to be a househusband to a well-off wife. The older the higher the networth requirement.

But your assumption here is that the higher net worth older lady wants a less-than-her net worth younger person…which i don’t think is the general case.. I would think, a lot of them higher net worth older lady are definitely a lot smarter than your average bunny and probably figured out that it’s cheaper to rent than to own….Afterall, one female piggie here once said on this blog, if she wants a sausage, why buy the entire pig?

But give this a shot

not. it’s just, well, when i was 20, i wouldve been freaked out by the idea of having sex witha 50 year old. yet now, it seems, almost normal.

yet where does this end. will i be banging a 70 or 80 year old.

?

if current trends continue, this is what we see…

That’s why I’m so interested in foreclosed and short-sold property. For an uncreative soul like myself, buying a few distressed properties, turfing whatever is squatting there out, renovating them a bit, and renting to decent humans represents the quickest route to having the financial security of a 50 year old while still in my 30s and be able to retire with her once I hit my 40s and she hits her 60s.

If I could be 50 years old tomorrow and skip the rest of my 30s and 40s, I’d be happy as a pig in shit.

[scaredyclassic]

it is pretty awesome being aged.

here’s a depression chart to help figure out where youre at…

[scaredyclassic]

will money or financial security really bring happiness?

not sure…

[spdrun]

If it allows me to marry someone 10-20 years older and retire early with her, then probably. 20 and early 30 somethings are boring and mostly disgusting to me. I’m an old man at heart, so I want to be with someone of the same age.
