The tax system is waaay too complex in the United States. I propose a simple, user friendly equation that everyone can use to determine which tax bracket they are in. The limitation is that this formula only works for annual incomes between $6,000 and $1,000,000. Tax bracket =...

Unless you can find me a coal deposit with no Carbon 14, I would say there is a controversy.

It's all good and well, and the legitamacy of Jesus can be argued all day, but getting back to the intent of the verse... Wether or not it does pertain to Jesus' birth or another birth around the time the verse was written, I don't know for sure. But I do know this, if the message is given as...

Tell that to Kuwait, Israel, its own people, etc.

So what is a threat? People go on and on that the troops should not go overseas and should just camp in the states and "protect our borders". These are the same people that argued for our neutrality in both of the world wars. The same people condemned Vietnam and Korea as a waste that...

Yes, diesel subs are extremely stealthy when using only their electric motors. They have the advantage that they don't leave nearly the heat signature that a nuclear sub does. Even when a nuclear sub is in silent running, it still has to cool the reactor.

Well, first of all, I don’t consider the conflict in Iraq to be a war and believe it hasn’t been for a long time. It’s turned into a peacekeeping mission gone bad. Also, I don’t think that time can be used solely to determine how the war has gone (because the war has ended imo). Bush is in...

I’m tired of seeing that BS that spike posted on half the forums I visit. Who knows who made it up, the original author certainly didn’t want his name on it. President Bush was NOT meeting with the Taliban for 3 years over a pipeline deal. Enron was merely doing a feasability study on...

New cars have very low emissions, and adding further emission control devices results in very diminishing yields. More and more of the components in a car are to reduce emissions, corresponding to an increased cost. On top of that, many of these regulation devices lower the gas mileage of...

I'm just trying to think of another poll that I've seen where 94% of people polled agreed on something. I bet a smaller percentage of the population would disagree on changing our government to a communist system. If it wasn't so suicidal in international relations, it probably would be a...

Well, this isn't an original question from me. I ran across a poll with this question while browsing some news stories. Here is where you can cast your vote: http://www.foxnews.com/studiob/# And here are the results thus far...

I too would like to see more nuclear power plants in the USA. For a very considerable time though, I don't see us switching from coal fired power plants, which produce the vast majority of the nations power. And despite impressions that people have, coal fired power plants are now incredibly...

Just old. And btw, where are all the creation vs. evolution threads? I need some place to work on my post count.

Ah yes. This is the dilemma that our founders had when they set up this country. They realized that the country needed leaders with morals to be a successful and long lasting. On the other hand, they also realized that if a nation endorsed a certain religion, it often led to the repression of...

West - somewhere along the California coastline South - somewhere in Texas East - somewhere in NYC North - Everywhere along the ND and MN and MT border What were you doing up in Portal unc? That place isn't happening. I don't how it is now, but before 9/11 when they closed the border...

Hey pc_builder, where are you in ND? I'm from Williston. I'm going to school in Indiana, but I make it back a few times a year.

I agree with much of this, but I was not targeting the Bush/Kerry election specifically. As you say, most people know each of the candidates view on most of the subjects involving morality. This is not the case involving many congressmen or state officials. I agree with them that religous...

Markjs, do you agree that morality should play a role in the election of a candidate? If it should, than how can a purely secular viewpoint provide a complete assessment of the candidate? It appears to me as if many liberal candidates do not want their moral views exposed. If they are so...

I agree with your with take on the matter Markjs. Political campaigning in Churches is downright despicable. A church should never endorse a candidate in an election. Political candidates’ names should never be brought up in a Church service or advertised in any manner. However, a church...

What are you basing this off of? You cannot expect a religious person to support an ideal that is clearly in violation of his relgion. I believe that most religions could care less about racial boundaries. FYI, there are more Christians in Africa than there are in North America. The same...
