U.S. Spam Kings Clear leader in exporting spam Anti-Spam company Sophos has released a list of the top spam exporting countries; not surprisingly the United States sits at the top, exporting 43% of all spam. The researchers, who scanned all spam messages received at their global network of honeypots, report that broadband leader South Korea has nearly tripled their output since the group's last report. While the group rails against the ineffectiveness of the Can Spam Act, they note Canada has cut their spam exports nearly in half.

Don't take it personally if chesney09 doesn't know how to spell "Eh", Eh. 
As to tax cuts, seems ironic to me that someone would actually oppose people not being indentured to the government, particularly when that someone thinks the government is run by the social elite and not the people of the country. 
One person's rat race is another person's work ethic. Apparently there are a significant number of Canadians who have the same work ethic that pervades the US, as I've worked with some of them in offices here over the years.

And there are a lot of people who are pleased as punch that the Iraqi government is not going to be aiding terrorists any time soon.
Both sides get to cast votes in November.
I know you don't like elections, but that is the method we use to transfer power in our republic.

You can impeach a president for high crimes and misdemeanors. The catch is you need the political will to remove the president.
Truth be told the loony left hates W enough to try anything to get him out of office, but everyone else is willing to use the more traditional election process.
(Remember the Clinton impeachment for him lying under oath? Despite the perjury being 100% clear and proven, he was still not removed from office because of it, the political will just was not there.)

My point still stands.
I understood that you were using it as an example, and it was also clear you have no real idea of what it is like to live and work in the US.

No.
But I might rat them out anyway depending on the kind of job and the kind of crime. Some kinds of criminals are bared by law from having certain kinds of jobs.
Have you ever had a job interview? It is extremely unlikely that I would know what someone else mentions or does not mention in their job interview, particularly if I'm in competition for the same job. The only ways I can imagine knowing would be if a) I already knew the other person and they tell me directly (why would they?), or b) the interviewer was grossly negligent (why would I want to work for a bunch of incompetent nitwits?).
Perhaps you have a more realistic ethical question?

I know you don't like elections, but that is the method we use to transfer power in our republic.
The Iraqi Government may not be aiding terrorists, but us Americans have done such a thorough job at pissing off not only the people of Iraq but the rest of the world, I hardly think the former Iraqi Government (the one in which Bush and his staffers claim aided terrorist attacks on our soil when in fact they did not) would have logically posed any immediate threat to the U.S. But we did need an excuse for that precious, precious black gold. If that's not a material reason for justifying a war, I don't know what is. I'm sure if spam made the Bush clan as much money as their shady dealings with the petroleum market, they would be trying to invade the country with the next highest output of spam next to the U.S. claiming that our national security is at stake.
What I don't understand is how people can be lead so easily by the Republicans in believing that Kerry didn't serve this country with honor. Unlike draft dodging Bush. It makes me sick that people refuse to wake up from the "Matrix" in which they live. Don't be lead like sheep to a slaughter, think about what really is happening to this country as a result of an ever-increasing love of money that many of the wealthy have. To be "fair and balanced" It's not just corruption on the conservative-Republican, but the liberal-Democrat AND anyone caught in the middle, with too much money and time on their hands. Money is absolute power, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Thanks for the rant. | |

| Re: USA numba 1 First and fore-most,I do like elections but would like them even more if they were fair to begin with, but campaign finance (yet another working concept based on pure greed) as well as the shady setup of bypassing the true American perspective (popular vote) of who the next Pres. should be, but instead we use the electoral collage, which is not representative of the populous. It's a sham. Greed, most certainly, seems to be the philosophy of the two major political parties. That, in my opinion is NOT a reflection of a democracy, but more closely represents a weak form of socialism. Campaign finance is keeping the good candidates out of the running, simply because they do not have the monitary assets to compete with this old-style "democracy".
Secondly, there was NO link that Iraq or even Saddam himself had ties to Al-Quida (which after the fact was confirmed by the current administration). Al-Quida only appeared in Iraq after we had messed it up so badly, taking advantage of that country's lack of government to hit another strike to the US by killing our soldiers (many of whom must buy their own body armor because our government can't find the resources necessary for THEM. Maybe if we cut the over-all war budget supplying our forces may happen).
Lastly, both sides may indeed cast their votes. But will it really matter? Not only did the Florida election debacle prove that no matter which method we chose to cast our vote, it's not really safe and can easily be changed or even disappear altogether. Now Florida wants to begin using electronic voting machines which are inherently flawed. The point is; the vote can be easily swayed or manipulated by a person who necessitates the capital to do so and has the will to do so. Just food for thought. | |

BTW, it's "eh" not "aye." Or was that some form of distant literary reference? | |
| | | | | | The point is simple, and you missed it completely. The USA has turned into a culture where greed being first is considered ok. All those taxes you don't want to pay are what prop up the society you enjoy living in. People hate paying taxes, but they love having good roads, schools (those that have children anyway), and emergency services. Other social services are just as integral in bringing society as a whole forward. (drug treatment, federal housing assistance, medicare, etc.)
Greed is the feeling you're leaning on when you think that you are "indentured to the government". The government is partially supposed here to make sure you (or the masses of people in general) don't have to work in a sweat shop 16 hours a day just to "pay off" what you owe your plantation owner. However, I'm sure you're so smart and great at what you do that that wouldn't be the situation for you, right? Don't kid yourself. | |
| | | | | | | Re: USA numba 1 The Greed you are referring to is the same greed that encouraged the Irish, Germans, Poles, Chinese, Russians, etc to leave behind the poverty in their home countries for a better life here in the US. They worked in sweat shops, were buried in mines, died building the railroads, and it was still better than from where they came. THEY CHOSE TO COME HERE AND WORK IN SWEATSHOPS OUT OF GREED! THEY WANTED A BETTER LIFE! Greed is part of every human, every animal, every plant every organism. Americans have not cornered the market on greed, and the Chinese are trying hard to prove that as they work hard to heat up their economy.
The taxes we pay do not really "PROP UP" our society, and in most cases they actually slow it down. The GREED of big government is what removes the incentive for one to improve their station in life. And yes, I do mind paying taxes for things like Schools, drug treatment, (and the war on drugs), Federal Housing and Medicare. These programs have all had a negative impact on our culture.
Most Americans, and even most seniors, know little or nothing about Medicare. Even before Medicare was created in 1965, more than three out of four seniors (that's 75%) were protected by a safety net for medical assistance and the average life expectancy for older Americans was on the rise. The growth of Medicare forced seniors into a regime that restricts their health care choices, fails to protect them against catastrophic medical costs, jeopardizes the doctor-patient relationship, and threatens to invade their medical privacy.
Since the government has taken over education (about 175 years ago), the percentage of total income that actually makes it to schools has gone down, while the amount we are taxed continues to go up. This is called government waste.
Federal housing means that if I work hard, and am a productive member of society, I am punished. I am taxed so that someone else (of even more modest means) can become a home owner while I continue to rent.
Nowhere in the Constitution is the government tasked from keeping us out of sweatshops. This is just another indication that you are from the generation that thinks that the world owes them something. Please tell me why it is better to be indentured by the government than by a plantation owner?
Why is it that you assume that most people are so stupid and ill-equipped to deal with the world that it takes an intrusive, expensive government to take care them at what amounts to not much more than subsistence levels? | |

| | Heinous spam I honestly don't mind seeing the occasional spam, some of them are kind of funny. What really gets me, though, is the dopes that send me ten copies of the same spam every day for months. What's up with that? Do they think they're wearing down my resistance with each message? Do they think I'll eventually buy their crap if the force me to hit delete enough times? Just this weekend I looked at my inbox for the first time in a couple of days and I had over one hundred messages, about 85 were spam, and there was only three different spam messages, each repeated nearly thirty times. | |
