Sure it does, but the poster was saying that he didnt give a crap about anything else that is happening in the economy because he has it all handled on his end by getting a scooter. That thought is simply ridiculous. What good will that savings be when he loses his job due to a poor economy...

Here is what i was responding to in regards to the 100 bucks. I personally could care less what everything else is doing....my reasoning for buying a motorcycle was that I can make payments on the bike, pay for insurance and gas for less than I was spending at the pump for either of my autos...

I may not have explained myself correctly. NOTHING is beneath me. it just becomes a matter of priorities. I changed the breaks on one of my cars 3 weeks ago. I redid my back yard this summer. I will do whatever work that is worth it to me. I had a guy give me a 7k quote to lay tile in my...

Funny that you go and tell me to shove 100 bucks up my ***, then when I respond in kind, you accuse me of being a "tough guy." I am certainly not arrogant, but I guess if I dont spell out in big words and speak slowly you wont understand what I am saying. Go back and reread the original few...

Couple of things. I didnt say that I couldnt sleep at night due to worrying about the economy. The 100 dollars I was referring to was to point out that saving 100 hundred dollars in the short term doesnt mean jack, and that the person commenting about buying a scooter was missing the entire...

If they say it enough, I guess it is true. Hey, didnt those good folks at Enron say they had nothing to do with the costs that pounded Californians a few years back. I guess it must have been true. Nixon also said he wasnt a crook.

Do you think the situation in the middle east has nothing to do with the current cost of oil? Do you think that President Bush had something to do with the current situation in the middle east?

you sir are correct. The only reason we havent had a war on mainland US is because it would be too difficult to make it happen with our location. Lets hope we never see Canada or Mexico try to take a place on the world stage:)

Well, it certainly helps when the members of your armed forces understand that the threat on their country's existence is real and constant. BINGO! This nation has not had a war that threatened its' existence?????? ever. WWII had Pearl Harbor, but the mainland was not really threatened. WWI...

It is a little different. Out here you get "tenure." when that happens, you basically have to break the law to lose your job. The CTA (California teachers assoc) is one of the strongest unions in the state. Tenure is not a 10 year contract, it is basically a contract until you retire. i have no...

"10 year?" no "Tenured?" yes

It was not long ago i was in that bracket. The more you make, the more you have to lose. Someone in 25k range has a Car and that is about it. Lose a job in that range, lots more around the corner. Income has no relevance to feeling the pinch of the economy. When you grow up poor, you never...

Why would someone possibly lie about being prior military? My grammar and spelling are simply a matter of choice when posting on an internet message board. I simply type with little regard to spelling or typos. Simply because i dont give a shit. I was in HMT-204, then went to HMM-261 prior to...

I used to think that way. There was a time when i could not understand why people would pay 20 bucks to have their oil changed. Then something happened......... my families income went way up. Now the thought of wasting an hour of my time for a 25 dollar oil change is a joke. Some things are...
