And that's your prerogative. My beef is with the guys that complain about being in the friend zone. Either be content with your situation or pull out all the stops to try and woo her... Do or do not, there is no try.

What I'm saying is take your shot or move on. Most men in serious relationship, particularly married men don't have female friends. If you take a shot and she doesn't reciprocate, odds are your friendship won't last. Guys are only in the friend zone if they allow themselves to be. I'm not saying you can't get out of it, but be realistic.

I'm a Texan and I'd recommend anything that you're comfortable with that shoots straight.

Jim Jefferies is a comedian.

Jim Jefferies on the stud vs slut debate: "Every single time a man sleeps with a lot of women, he’s called a stud. But if a woman sleeps with a lot of men, she’s called a slut, and people think this is unfair… Nah. It’s completely fair, and I’ll tell you why, alright? ‘Cause it’s fuckin’ easy to be a slut. It’s fuckin’ hard to be a stud. To be a stud you have to be witty, charming, be well-dressed, have nice shoes, and a fake job. To be a slut you just have to be there. There are fat ugly sluts out there, there are no fat ugly studs."

That's kinda what socialism is... Promising everything and delivering nothing.

There's a difference between actively chasing wealth and not seeking a person with no money.

I guess I meant more than 5 generations. It also helps if the thing has intrinsic value to begin with. That being said, I'd never sell a family heirloom.

Why the hell wouldn't they hide money other places? Apple has like 200 billion over seas they can't repatriate because they will get screwed when they do. The U.S is one of like 8 OECD countries that taxes money that has been earned and already taxed abroad.

Quit bringing politics into an economics debate. It literally doesn't matter what you call it.
America's purchasing power parity is just as high as those of Scandinavian countries, Denmark has no minimum wage, it's easier to start businesses in those countries than it is in America, America has the highest corporate tax rate in the world. There are as many reasons to implement the policies those countries have adopted as there are to not implement them.

It's just that this is still soon, all things considered. My parents worked for Cantor Fitzgerald until August 2001 so it's still very fresh for some families. And each attack takes us right back to that moment.

On your side stoner2, sorry for your loss. I too know people that died from those terrorist attacks.
