  1. Most NBA players can break your ribs simply with a mean look- thats right, they are that strong.
  2. And yet such a huge amount of the population would and does fail in doing that; curious.
  3. Because you're speaking of an oxymoron. As I have said before, never have I seen a lazy rich person. If this theoretical person you speak of won the lottery and benefited then he had skill and ambition; not sole luck.
  4. No, it is not. Sure, it may be possible to be awarded a large amount of money in a short amount of time, but that doesn't make you rich. Generally the people who are awarded lottery money operate in a deficiency until they have less money than they started with. Why? Because they didn't have the ability to sustain the wealth. Its like picking a two month old baby up by the shoulders and carrying it for 5 years then suddenly putting it on the ground to try to walk. It just doesn't work. Part of the ability in sustaining the money comes from experience. Although a car may be a great tool, it really isn't so much when its in the hands of a ten-year old because a ten year old simply doesn't have the ability to drive it. Don't get me wrong, a kid may get lucky and find a car with the keys in the ignition but he still doesn't have a car.
  5. No, no its cookie-cutter factory workers and soldiers. Mmmmmm.....cookies.
  6. Will you please read my whole posts before responding to a single line out of context? Thanks.
  7. Ah well, thats where my values differ. If I was on the side of the road dying I still wouldn't feel entitled to somebody else's food. Why? Because its not mine. Sure, I would be happy to have some food, But I am certainly not entitled to that food. And I never said rich people were hard working and the poor were lazy (although many times this is true). I simply said that to be rich ability comes before luck. You can not be rich without ability, it just doesn't work like that. The people who become rich without ability such as is with the lottery quikly lose that money in a very short amount of time. Come to think of it, of all the rich people I have met, never have I met a lazy rich person.
  8. You don't honestly think that luck comes before ability do you? There is a reason that the lazy rarely get rich, I assure you. This is assuming you were not born rich in which case your parents were not lazy. Either way its not luck. You don't think Howard Hughes just got lucky do you?
  9. Oh I see, so you're saying I shouldn't have control over my computer as long as its good software. Maybe we shouldn't really have control of our lives either. As long as the person who controls my life does a good job who cares. Why I'm at it why don't I go down and enroll at the local prison. As long as the cook does a good job keeping me fed they can keep me there against my will too.
  10. If an area gets bomb one time then its obviously a target and thus is more likely to get bombed than an area that isn't a target. London was already prettty safe before this and I think it still is to some extent. But it certainly isn't more safe now then it was two years ago.
  11. Because some people were taught skills or had parents that had the skills to make money. Other people where taught at some point in their life that success is based purely on luck and thus would rather blame society for their crummy car.
  12. I recently tried opera but uninstalled it as soon as I realized it wasn't free or I was going to have to look at ads.
  13. Step #1: DONT USE STORE BOUGHT READY TO USE SAUCE. If you want it to taste homemade it has to BE homemade. Noodles are only 5% of spaghetti and for the most part they all taste the same.
  14. How are ancient skin defects and sensitive armpits related? I'm having trouble following your train of thought on this one.
  15. I see. And how many years exactly has it been...? How many chances do they get before you abandon IE? This is capitalism. You don't stick with the crappy product when it gets obliterated by a superior product, if you do the guy who made the crappy product has no motivation to make his crappy product better. Come to think of it, if you (and by 'you' I don't mean you personally) stopped following the crowd and using IE like everybody else we all might be using a really nice IE browser right now. Bummer. However, I must admit, Bill has shown himself to be extremely adept at business and marketing.
  16. Good point; sad but true. It really looks like MS has a monopoly going on.
  17. I don't see why anybody would bother trying it out. IE has already dropped the ball.
  18. Its not the foods you eat. It has nothing to do with eating. Its getting oil in your pores which causes them to clog and infect.
  19. You're pulling that out of your ass. Show me a source.
