Most Epic Marriage Proposal Ever!

Douche? How many douches that you know would go to that amount of long-term effort to put this together? And on top of that, how many douches do you know who would put this much effort into a MARRIAGE proposal? For a one night stand with a model maybe... for marriage? psh. not.

As for the expense? If you're married, think about how much you would be willing to have spent if you could make your proposal this special. If you're not, think of how much work and money you'd be willing to spend to make it really amazing and unforgettable. This ain't your "we should talk about whether or not to get married" talk. This is a "LET'S DO THIS, LOVE!" moment.

I will promise you this..

I don't think the * lies invocation is fair. He was likely being truthful, but only naive. My bet is that upon entering office, he was given the information that he was not privy to as a candidate or as anyone of lesser office than that of the presidency. He probably got into the office, got the whole story and said, "dang, I guess we really shouldn't pull out just yet."

Health Insurance Companies' Profit Margins: Not so Fat (Lies Talk Post)

Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of regulation. In fact, I took a very significant and active roll in requiring insurance companies in my state to insure at least a certain minimum percent coverage of mental illnesses. I see government oversight as valuable. As I referred to history earlier, I refer to it again saying that oversight of this kind works. Overarching control, however, never has.

Health Insurance Companies' Profit Margins: Not so Fat (Lies Talk Post)

Also, I should say that a company is SUPPOSED to make money. If they aren't, than they're doing something wrong. That's the way that a successful capitalist market works. If you don't like capitalism, that's another argument entirely, but in this society... the most successful economic society in the history of the world... you must make profit as a company to survive as a company. To expect an independent company to LOSE money in any given time is just foolish. In addition, we expect the same of our tax dollars. We expect that the services that our taxes provide are worth more than we are spending to provide them. We therefore expect profit, not loss. Yet our government is notorious for spending outrageous amounts of money for even simple services. I would cite examples, but any idiot could find 20 in 2 minutes with google. The bottom line is that the government is responsible to no one when it comes to one detailed and complicated issue. You may say that they're responsible to voters, but most voters don't pay any attention to this sort of thing. Anyway, the tax-payers don't have a vested interest that they can plainly see in this. A COMPANY has investors that are constantly studying performance reports, and these people understand the business. They, if anyone, are the ones you want to win over, not congressmen.

Health Insurance Companies' Profit Margins: Not so Fat (Lies Talk Post)

In my eyes, giving the government control of our healthcare is like giving a fugative a gun. You know they're going to screw up and someone's going to get hurt because their record so obviously says they will. Seed is right. It comes down to whether you actually trust the feds to run this well. History, even very recent history, says NO. To ignore that history is to blind yourself and close your mind. Look at all the businesses that the government has taken over. NONE of them has really succeeded. They've all been laughable sinks of tax money and even more laughable in general opinion of their work.

Whatever you do... (Blog Entry by rottenseed)

Nah, it's really a culture shock issue. It's the sudden shift from juvenile college to a diverse professional environment. It's a shift from "yeah, let's make fun of everyone who thinks differently than we do," to an environment of mutual and almost universal respect, and to a realization that the thought that there is a "we" (as in "we normal people") group at all is a relatively shallow and poorly reasoned concept. People think "wtf?" because such mockery can be considered ignorance, if not bigotry here especially due to the ethnic origins of many of the belief systems. The same goes for lifestyles such as customs, traditions, and such things as sexual preference. Even "young earthers" are given their fair shake in a discussion if they have something to back it up or some perspective to give that is at least interesting if anything. It's not really being "PC" so much as it is being friendly and respectful. It's a very pleasant place to work in that respect.

Whatever you do... (Blog Entry by rottenseed)

Hehe, pwnd.
I guess one of the advantages of working at a place that is as extremely diverse as it is here is the total lack of any form of mockery. We've got people from just about every side of every conflict, every nationality, and every religion or lack thereof. It generally makes mockery of a religion just look childish and sad. When people hear it, they generally make a "wtf?" face and shake their heads and make a mental note. First years tend to make that mistake... once. The only people that still catch flack are "young-earthers" and I don't know any of them here.
