ParticipantFrom talking to her, there is no need to fight it. She said it turned red, and she just brain farted and felt lucky nothing happened.
Still what a scam.
Oh and yes Lostkitty, I still can’t stand the person who can’t seem to keep up with the flow of traffic. Usually 2 or 3 of them get back to back and one lane just flows.
Apparently Encinitas coppers put up another one at Leucadia/El Camino Real. My solution will be to simply take neighborhood streets. I might even post some alternative maps on a web site. Not that I have run any lights, but mostly just to piss off LE.
ParticipantThe government was extracting 39.5%, and it went down to 35%. So what? Why was it 39% to begin with? Besides my point is that they were not slashing programs. Any cuts in programs were merely cuts in the planned increases in the budget.
In any case, your language and use of “giveaway” indicates you believe it was their money to begin with.
Again working poor people pay very little in federal taxes as I pointed out. Deductions, and working credits wiped out having much of a tax liability. I don’t see you trumpeting that the initial 15% went down to 10%? Why is that 5% any less important.
Sounds like you are a socialist just wanting to stick it to the man.
ParticipantI think as a conservative it is important to hatch up devious schemes to extract dollars from the poor (both working and non-working). Think about it, there are a ton of poor people, and if I could just sneak some dollars out of their pockets, I could give it to the corporate backers of my party.
Talk about tired cliches poorgradstudent, are you studying some “social science” in grad school?
Newsflash, tax policy is not a zero-sum game. Cutting taxes on fat cats, does not mean raising them for the working poor. Ever had the pleasure of filling out a tax return for a single parent female? My sister had a child and was working crappy retail jobs, and with standard deduction, earned income credits, and child credits, she definitely wasn’t paying any taxes and was actually receiving money by the time her tax return came back. Note that I am not saying I disagree with this, I just failed to see how Bush is screwing her over.
One can only conclude that you look all all income as belonging to the government, and by their benevolence, they distribute that back to us. When you cut taxes, you simply reduce the government’s budget, you aren’t taking money from the poor. It was never their money in the first place.
ParticipantShort answer: Keep reading the site, and don’t buy the condo. We make around 150k and have no plans to buy, the hell with the tax break. If I get a tax break on a depreciating asset, what have I done?
Investigate one of these 5% interest banks out there, and put some money away into a down payment account, and that grow.
ParticipantI want to say what a depressing article, but if these folks are fine with it, who am I to judge. That elementary school didn’t sound too good. You also read about South Park or North Park being family friendly, but I couldn’t imagine sending my kids to the public school there. I guy I know who lives in Linda Vista, and (despite two break-ins during upgrade) and raves about how awesome it is. Meanwhile the daughter goes over to High Tech High, instead of whatever the regular HS would be (Kearny Mesa I think).
ParticipantSpeaking as a Conservative…
Yes to Civil Unions
No to adoption
ParticipantApparently the biggest no-brainer in the history of mankind guy represents Lenox Financial. Man that guy irritates me.

In my previous company, my CTO was in Holland, and my boss was in Scotland so I traveled there for 3 weeks on 2 occasions. I like the experience for a few days, hung out in Amsterdam, got drunk in Scotland, went to William Wallace’s monument, etc. However I got so tired of taking buses and trains everywhere and living by the schedule.
When I got back to the US, I wanted to do something completely American. I hopped in my pickup truck, drove it to a steakhouse, where I got to park my own damn car, in a free parking lot, and didn’t worry about leaving at a certain time. Also the freakin’ techno music blaring everywhere I went was nauseating. Christ didn’t Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath come from the UK? What was with this blaring sissy music? So upon returning, another thing I did for about two days until it nauseated me was to listen to country music. I don’t care much for that genre but it was so not Euro, that I just had to do it.
Similarly I went to Tokyo for 3 weeks, and I ate a lot of McDonalds. However Tokyo it was easier to find a good steak, and I did like Shabu-Shabu or Swish-Swish, whatever it’s called.
In all cases I liked the local beers, except the Guiness type heavy stuff. The scottish women were just yuck the first time, but when I went back it seemed they discovered tanning salons, and streaked-multi colored hair so they looked much better. Dutch women I just loved, tall, thin, with nice backsides. I kind of liked the Japanese girls, but it seemed like I could throw them 20 feet. You can’t breed football players with a 4’11” 80 pound woman. I am 6’1″ barely above average and I felt like a Giant in Shin-Juku city down at the train station.
In any case no voluntary trips in smelly tubes for me. It’s either corporate based or I won’t go. I recently passed on an option to go to India on business. I follow the Anabolic Diet, and what would I eat for two weeks over there? Actually the new version is called the Metabolic Diet.
ParticipantServer goofy, repeated text.
ParticipantI heard some guy advertising a 5 year fixed 1.25% loan on AM this morning. Must have been on Colin Cowherd (ESPN). I don’t recall ever flipping over to Rick Roberts, where he has the constant ads with the guy from Anchor Funding.
I am still hearing the one guy that needs a slap across the face “The biggest no-brainer in the history of mankind.”
November 14, 2006 at 9:25 AM in reply to: Spiegel: Bush can barely string a sentence together, and more #39929ParticipantHey I was a Clinton ’92 voter, while active-duty military.
I grew up a Union Democrat, one that the brie-eating, foreign car driving california liberal tolerates once every 4 years before going back to their social clubs.
I thought the Democratic Party was out to protect the auto and steel industry. Economic Nationalists. So despite my pro-gun stance, my distaste for welfare-queens, affirmative action, death penalty opponents, etc. I plugged my nose and voted conservative Democrat (Abilene – Charles Stenholm, Youngstown – Jim Traficant). At some point, I just couldn’t take it anymore, and since both parties became Pro-Nafta, I at least agreed in principle more with Newt Gingrinch than I did the granola crowd so here I am.
Participant211 days on market? Time to lower the price.
November 12, 2006 at 11:16 PM in reply to: Okay Santeeman, now you’re getting to be obnoxious… #39829ParticipantLighten up Francis. This happens on internet forums quite frequently when someone doesn’t know their post went, and doing something hit reload. Or they go back and hit the post button again.
ParticipantThe bashing of PowaySeller doesn’t seem to have political overtones. Some of us well-educated but nevertheless neanderthal conservatives do not bash Powayseller. That is to say belief in the housing bubble seems to be neither a Dem or Rep issue.
But Misogyny? Sheesh, talk about a whiner. I hope you are at least female using a term like that.
