[QUOTE="gameguy6700"]I love this whole "they earned it" excuse people come up with. You guys do know how the top 0.1% of the country's income earners make their money, right? It's not by working. A lot of them even don't work at all. Rather they just collect obscene amounts of money off of annual stock dividends. And thanks to the tax rates on marginal gains, they also get taxed less than you do if you make $35,000 or more a year, even if they're pulling in hundreds of millions of dollars that year. But that's not the best part. The best part is that they can then use their extraordinary wealth to bribe congressmen (in the form of campaign contributions) to introduce legislation that benefits only them at the cost of everyone else. Hence why the tax rate on the top bracket has plummeted in the last few decades while no other class saw noticeable differences in their taxes (funny enough, the average income for the top 1% has risen steadily since the 1970s whereas the average income for the other 99% has remained frozen since the mid 70s; and yes, that's all adjusting for inflation). Really the only reason that this extreme wealth disparity exists in the US (and yes it is extreme, it's on par with third world African countries) is because our culture has done a great job at brainwashing people into thinking that they're DEFINITELY going to be millionaires (or even billionaires!) one day. People think that it's just the matter of opening the right business or making the right invention or making your big break in hollywood or winning the lottery (probably the most likely of all these options to actually work). In reality, you're stuck in the middle class. Even if you get into the top 1% by being a doctor or lawyer (or even most businessmen), you're actually STILL not part of the wealthy everyone is upset about. You're at the border between the 98th and 99th percentiles. The real wealthy are concentrated the top 0.1%, and it's not until you get to the top 0.05% that you reach the Bill Gates and Rupert Murdochs of the country.

Well, that's capitalism. The guys who made millions from stocks earned them- they took a risk, and it paid off. I think that actors, pro sports players, etc are payed way too highly, but again- capitalism. Everything is worth what it's purchaser will pay for it. The only sure way to make it in this country is to graduate from high shcool, and hopefully go to college, which is the way it should be. Sometimes (NOT in all cases, mind you- some people are just born poor and don't have the opportunity for good education), blue collar workers are in that position because they didn't prioritize their school work as kids and teens, and thus couldn't find a high paying jobs. usually, capitalism gives everyone what they deserve.

Imo Jews should have been given part of Germany as their homeland. Half of the west's current problems solved right there.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"][QUOTE="Tokugawa77"]So Hitler kills 12 million in the holocaust, we call him the most evil man to ever live. Chingis Khan kills 40 million and we call him a badass :P Another interesting fact- 60 million of today's modern human population are estimated to be direct decendents of the guy...Yeah I suppose he'd have to be a badass to get that much ass, if you get my drift.

Hitler targeted the Jews, homosexuals, the handicapped and Gypsies for extermination because they were everything wrong with Germany and his plans for a "master race." Genghis slaughtered every man, woman, child and animal in a town that refused to either unite with him or pay him tribute. Big difference.

Like I said before, killing is killing. Today Genghis Khan would be charged with war crimes in the ICC, Hitler with genocide. As far as I know, both are punished equally.

People know more about Hitler because the Holocaust was just seventy or so years ago. Genghis Khan's time was all the way back in the 1200s and whatnot.

Killing is killing. Just today's double standard of judging the past.

[QUOTE="wiifan001"]God can make supernatural events happen. He can make a supernatural event for a man to build an ark. A supernatural force for 2 of every animal to board an ark. A supernatural event to flood the world, which in some Christian religions, symbolizes "this terrestrial planet being baptized by water." This isn't science or nature. This is God. This is supernatural forces, supernatural power, breaking the laws of physics and science. God can do it. Yes, I do accept it as fact.

What the hell was the point of humanity spending the last two milenuim figuring out the laws of nature and the universe if they could be broken just like that? I'm sorry, but I have trouble wrapping my mind around your position.

When travelling internationally you're forced to adapt to the time of the country that you travelled to, even if the flight took 20 hours and it's morning there. Jet lag sucks so much because you aren't actually tired when it's night, even if you've been up for like 36 hours.

Stephen Hawking vs Albert Einstein makes more sense than any other match up ever done on this joke of a show.
