Participant[quote=Eugene][quote]Cognitive dissonance at its finest- just to be clear, I have nothing against homosexuality, it’s the pedophilia and the treatment of women as sub-human there that irks me.[/quote]
It’s just a different culture and different morale. We think that it’s perverse for old men to have close relations with boys. They think that it’s perverse for women to go to bars or to wear revealing clothes. There’s no biological or any other reason for either of those beliefs.[/quote]
“Just”? So you think it’s just “different” but equally valid?I think you’re stretching the moral equivalency argument quite far.
Do you think honor killings and throwing acid into classrooms are just a different but equally valid way of treating women?
Would you want folks to be able to adopt Sharia in certain communities in the US?
“or any other reason”…
You’re saying there’s no good reason why many societies oppose child abuse? Why *do* we have laws against it? Are we just being silly?ParticipantNot digging the coffee table. Also the material on the sofas looked a bit “cheap” to me.

Participant[quote=deadzone]CAR, excellent point on the move up market as a factor in the dollar amount vs. % increase. Bigger picture, the death of the move up market is just another component that will eventually kill the mid-high end market, in addition to the loss of high paying jobs and other factors.[/quote]
I intuitively disagree with you DZ that all or most of the high paying jobs were ponzi/realestate/financial related.What about doctors and lawyers? Top engineers. Executives. Business owners.
I don’t have numbers to back up my position but I feel you’re overestimating the share of high-wage jobs that were related to real estate.
