The Boatsmart test still isn't difficult. My 8 year old just passed it, on his own without any help from me or his mom. He is a smart kid but no super genius. You now need to complete 5 online modules and have to have a certain amount of study time. If you listen to the modules you will have...

First it was pop in schools, next it was plastic bags, now this: http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Politics/2012/06/12/19870031.html I am not a gun owner, but this makes me want to run out and buy one. Why can't these guys get their heads out of their butts and run the city? These products are...

The reason why I came here to interject is because I wanted to. If no one posted on here it wouldn't be a very interesting place. We all come here for the perverted fact that we find this kind of banter fun. As far as my comment goes. I stand by it. I don't think he ratted you out. I think he...

I am curious how you think he is ratting you out. In post 59 of this thread you said you were a dealer. You may have been being sarcastic, but sarcasm does translate in writing. I got the same sense that you were conflicted. That doesn't mean you don't honestly hold your views, but I would hope...

This thread makes my head hurt. As someone who does have a degree in Economics, can I point out that Economics is a Theory used to explain observed behavior and predict behavior in the future? It seem like everyone here is arguing like their view of economic theory is some sort of scientific...

I happen to like things the way they are. I don't think we have met so I am not sure how you could see the follies of people like me, but I digress. One question that you could answer is what exactly are your higher asperations?

P.S. This is a great thread. I am sorry I missed it the first time.

I found the Globe story interesting but I still get some sense that people who are perpetually unemployed or underemployed are not trying hard enough or are not doing something right. I am not quite sure what "getting a job" in your field means. If I was unemployed, I would pretty much take...

Casa Noble Anejo. It comes in a short square opaque bottle.

I don't have a picture of my collection with me, but here is what I currently have. Watches are a more expensive hobby that motorcycling if you are serious about it: Sinn 656 on rubber strap Seiko SKX781K on bracelet (Orange Monster) Damasko DC56 Suunto t4 Casio G-Shock Cockpit Scuba Worldtime...

If you are going to invite some "interesting" former members don't forget Bibo and DoogieHowser!

I would pick people that I think seem intelligent and that I don't necessarily agree with. It would make for the best dinner conversation. I don't find it that interesting having a conversation with people who all think the same thing--someone says something and everyone else says, yes, I...

I think this would sovle some, but not all, of the problems and I do not think it is a long term solution. While costs would come down you would still have to deal with the failed concept of the reserve system. They work like communisim. Everything is owned by the band. There still will not...

Reference please? I don't think I saw anywhere where it said how much the auditor made. What I thought it said was that HIS FIRM was being paid $1,300 per day for his time. If his firm is getting $1,300 per day for his time and they are paying him $500K, they are not very good business men...
