No; I am not in any way implying that the U.S. contributed to the 9/11 attack directly, nor Islamic terrorism as a whole. What does factor into the terrorism equation is the development of the narrative behind it; i.e. perceived Western aggression to...  [Read More]

He phrased it in a completely horrible manner, but his point still stands. I'm confused - are you saying you agree with Rauf that United States foreign policy was a catalyst for the 9-11 attacks; ie. we brought this on ourselves? Terrorism isn't e...  [Read More]

I never inferred that white supremacists are better than muslims. I gave an example. As far as white supremacy being based on hate, just ask and they'll tell you they do not hate - they believe themselves to be superior to all other races, per se. No...  [Read More]

It's not only the location of the proposed mosque but also the religious leader for the center - Feisal Abdul Rauf. Rauf has been in print and on video as of late and believes the United States Foreign Policy was responsible for the 9-11 attacks. Rau...  [Read More]

If T.E.A. Party attendees are so ignorant and clueless, how is it in numerous rallies with tens of thousands in attendance; no arrests and no acts of violence? How were they able to motivate voters in Massachusetts to elect a Republican to the U.S. S...  [Read More]

Thanks for quoting my signature, however it was in no way relevant. You're welcome. I quoted it because you stated, "This thread sucks." That makes it relevant to this thread. Again, everyone is entitled to their opinions but I was under t...  [Read More]

No more quoting for me, takes up too much space. In regards to the banking/financial situation, there are numerous mega banking/financial corporations. Take Wells Fargo Financial for instance. One of the many banks that fought to pay back the TARP m...  [Read More]

You asked how somebodys pay affects me, I answered that, unless you still want to argue it doesen't, I sugest you concede the point before bringing in a new one, which brings us to. Concede? How does the amount of money someone else earns, affect so...  [Read More]

Another long post. Mainly to respond to Mur'phon. First of all profits are what you are left with after production costs (including wages) have been paid, and is the property of the shareholders. If they want to reinvest it is their business, though...  [Read More]

Not exactly. While I will say that giving megacorporations like banking firms loans is a rather unnerving practice that has questionable integrity, I will say asked by their own volition. Whether or not the deal was entirely honest is another matter,...  [Read More]

I used professional sports player's salaries as an example to contrast the amount of money pro athletes make as opposed to corporate CEO's. I disagree with you that it doesn't make a difference, though; Jae. We're supposed to be so incensed with the...  [Read More]

TWO Ten 96's? I'm so confused. :confused: I was confused too until I looked at my tag. I joined the Lucas Forums back in 2004 under Ten-96. I revisited but forgot the password for Ten-96 so I registered as Ten 96. I'll PM one of the mods and ask if...  [Read More]

Considering in the last 20 years CEO's earnings have risen nearly 304%, 90% cuts sound perfectly reasonable. So reasonable, in fact, it's unreasonable how much they'll still make. Eventually we'll get back to a point where the profit of the corporat...  [Read More]

The Post Office delivers letters across the country for 44 cents. I can't get a soda from a vending machine for 44 cents. The Cash for Clunkers program's only problem was that it was too popular. Social Security has made sure millions of seniors are...  [Read More]

I am certain there is an element of "getting back at those greedy people" involved in this. The Paycut Czar is doing his job, which is to show The People that he's serious about, well, making those white collar people pay for getting us int...  [Read More]

From what I can tell, they're using an interpretation of A) which includes salary AND explicitly cuts out golden parachutes, i.e., the Paycut Czar is able to determine how much a salary is cut - if at all - while he is forced by law to disallow parac...  [Read More]

My view: the government provided a contract (and let's be clear: the government is well within its rights to make contracts) that helped the business stay afloat. If the business signed it, then they decided to abide by the restrictions on the money....  [Read More]

Sounds like a good idea to me. The need to keep the pay competitive seems like an excuse to continue paying the extremely high amounts, nothing more. If you're motivated to make 14 million (IIRC, that's how much one CEO got), how much motivation do y...  [Read More]
