A week has 7 * 24 hours in it. 168 hours.
168 hours - 100 hours = 68 hours.
Assuming 8 hours of sleep is normal, 8 * 7 = 56. 
68 hours - 56 hours = 12 hours. 
Assuming 15 minutes of eating time per three meals a day is normal, ((15*3)*7)/60=5.25.
12 hours - 5.25 hours = 6.75 hours.
6.75 hours of free time per week isn't worth 200K a year regardless of taxation, especially considering unfactored time-costs (transportation, etc.).

Intercepted communications, telling govt soldiers to prepare for chemical exposure (the govt attacking the gassed areas right after they were gassed).
This isn't evidence. Regardless of who fired them, military forces will prepare for chemical exposure. It is evidence when they are told before the chemical attack occured... 

We now the rockets used to deliver the chemicals have only been seen used by the govt forces.
The United States has stated that they don't know, and I know you're not a skeptic.  That just talks about how the U.S isnt sure Assad personally ordered it and we arent sure where all his chemical weapons are. It has nothing to do with the weapons linked to the attack which have only been seen used by the regime forces
We know the rockets came from the direction of several govt bases We know the rockets hit rebel controlled areas 
We know that government bases have been overrun by the rebels as well. Yeah some bases have been overun its a war, the bases in the direction of the rocket attack were still under govt control.
We knew 3 days before it happened the govt was preparing for a chemical attack
Link stating that they were preparing to launch chemical weapons (not be affected by them) at the rebels? Link
We know the govt has large stock piles of chemical weapons (while the rebels don't)
First part is true although not "large"; no proof of the second claim. According to everyone the rebels don't.
We know the govt delayed UN inspectors by shelling the area with conventional weapons. Not even relevant. This is as bad or even worse than the idea that the weapons came from Libya (it IS confirmed that Libya's chemical weapon stockpiles went missing and were found in the hands of Al-Qaeda and Northern African militant factions - but it is not known that they went to Syria, even though Al-Qaeda has been aiding rebels). What? The government stalled the inspectors while they continued shelling the area to try and destroy evidence.

You can prepare for an attack before it occurs. There's nothing out of the ordinary about that especially when they have better intelligence than we do.

That link is pretty weak especially considering I can't see the webpage, but I'll accept it for now. Too busy to argue about moot points. We're going to war and wasting money, lives, and time either way. Gotta maintain the "warfare and welfare" state as well as the petrodollar.

Obviously it is not according to "everyone." We've seen reports saying that Rebels might have had chemical weapons (some even making the correlation with Al-Qaeda) multiple times, further cementing the fact that we don't have definitive evidence.

And the last point is conjecture - as you confirmed yourself. No better than all the conspiracy theories.

In truth, we don't know shit and shouldn't be starting a war over it. The United States acting as the militant arm of the U.N. needs to stop for our sake.

Criticizing music is fine as long as you understand what you're talking about. If you criticize the person's taste then it boils down to immaturity.

Christie is all charisma. He's just another neocon like the rest. Rand tried to get a following and then buttered up with the GOP mainline buffoons. I don't think there's any hope to be found in the currently discussed political candidates, but then again that feeling seems to be the norm at this point.

It's only bad when they're being exploited, and in Dimebag's case that's exactly what Phil Anselmo wanted to do.

[QUOTE="Rhazakna"]Why are you surprised that George Orwell is loved by libertarians?BossPerson
if he's loved by the standard ron paul american libertarians, then its pretty silly since he fought for socialist/anarchism in spain

Social Anarchism is still a pretty stark form of libertarianism. Granted we are talking about the party here, which is all over the place as far as ideology is concerned.

I don't think he'd agree with everything going on now either but honestly he built the party that it's become.

Thinking in terms of US Presidents here:

Dems - Taft, FDR, sometimes Wilson, and JFK
Reps -  Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and especially Reagan
Libs - Andrew Jackson (only because of his hatred of the national bank)

oh and it doesnt get much more crazy than republicans trying to claim jesus for themselvesBossPerson

Or Ayn Rand.

[QUOTE="coolbeans90"]

>itt, people are saying calc classes are hard

WTF?

Wasdie

They are to some people including myself. Math itself is just learning how to apply proven functions. That can be tricky to learn how to identify what functions to use at the right time. 

For me it's far more my apathy. I just don't give a shit about math. 

Yeah, especially when all they do is give you the proof of the function to work with. Basically a section of my Calc III (and supposedly IV, which I opted out of) course went like this:

Student: "Yes, I know that theorem X exists and you proved it to be correct, but how do I use it and how does it relate to the current material?"
Professor: "We hope you can find the applications on your own."
Student: "Oh."
Professor: "Here's a pop quiz with problems that you've never seen before. If you manage to get just one out of five right it's okay. They're each only worth 2% of your overall grade."

Those %s add up. Then come exams you're given 8-10 problems of which you've never seen anything like, and then they expect you to figure out how to use one of the tens of theorems they proved in class. In fact that's why my school's math department is loathed by students who transfer in, by professors in other departments (Engineering and Computer Science in particular), and by some of the math staff themselves. They realize that class time could basically be substituted by telling a student to look at a given theorem in plain english text on Wikipedia because that's all the good proving them does for teaching you how to solve problems.

But upper-level math required you to prove more things, so I assume the classes were geared solely towards math majors who were looking to advance further.

EDIT: And to top it off imagine having a professor who has never taught in the United States and has trouble speaking basic english...yeah, makes math difficult.
