Ausiello calls New Girl one of the funniest new comedies this fall. Faint praise? -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Sep 19, 13:22 5
- has he seen more than the pilot? I watched it last week - it was decent enough I'll watch a reg. ep, at least. (also watched "free agents" - eh.) -- nm - b. Sep 19, 13:24
- Hmmm. That may not bode well for the season's comedies as a whole. I posted once on this last wknd having watched it on iTunes. -- nm - bc/nc Sep 19, 13:24 1
  - When/if you watch the opening credits, tell me it doesn't remind you of the opener to an SNL skit. -- nm - bc/nc Sep 19, 13:24
- If it's as funny as Up All Night, I'll be watching. -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 19, 13:23
- they must have seen more than the commercials with the dreadful kindergarden writing -- nm - peglegpete Sep 19, 13:23

  - Ralph's is West Coast Kroger's. i go there mostly cause it's within walking distance. i don't have a Vons or Albertsons anywhere near - moles Sep 19, 13:11 1
    - Same here as regards distance. I do like Ralphs store brands for quality and price. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 19, 13:16

    - actually, the major thing i was wondering was if it was a "we" or a "he" so that answers most of my queries. -- nm - TFox Sep 19, 13:13 1

  - wang fights. I'll get the ruler. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Sep 19, 13:03
Wage subsidies are corporate welfare......too many companies hire someone, use them, "lay them off" and then apply again. -- nm - Walt_Disney Sep 19, 12:58 2
- In my perfect world, I would get rid of all corporate welfare programs and subsidies, save tax credits for businesses in economically depressed areas. - Walt_Disney Sep 19, 13:05

TFox, old asshole Capstern *is* back. -- nm - mara Sep 19, 12:54 22
- Not at all. Didnt attack anyone and shared an honest opinion I have had for a long time. - Capstern (35 Days) Sep 19, 13:06 21
  - so, if someone is mentally disabled and can't be education, would you cut th em off welfare? -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 13:20 1

  - The 2nd-to-the-last sentence of your IM... - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 19, 13:13 4
    - But you realize we don't think you're as asshole for being conservative. - ty97 Sep 19, 13:20 2
      - I think the cause and effect are the other way around in his case. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 13:24
      - this. :) -- nm - znufrii Sep 19, 13:23
    - things dont have to be recognized to be true or not true...they are what they are and this place has always been closer - Capstern (35 Days) Sep 19, 13:18
  - actually, forcing low income people to not have children is in fact assholish, whether you happen to agree or not. -- nm - TFox Sep 19, 13:08 13
    - And I disagree and I am allowed to have that opinion. And not like I am alone on an island with that opinion - Capstern (35 Days) Sep 19, 13:17 12
      - curious if you're ever taken an ethics course. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 13:22 1
        
        yes it tends to war with my business classes and philospophy classes -- nm - Capstern (35 Days) Sep 19, 13:31

        ... and people who think that chemical castration is an acceptable solution to some problems ... - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:18 5
        
        Even the hardcore child molesters? I may be on that island. - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 19, 13:21 4
        
        (I could be swayed to support execution in some cases like these, but I think the castration has been proven not to work) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:25
        
        I'm not a biologist or doctor, but I didn't think castration ended sexual desire. - ty97 Sep 19, 13:22 2
        
        I thought it did, but I defer to Bery, who seems to know more than I on this subject. - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 19, 13:27
        
        This is what I mean. Not only did it not fix the problem, it created a host of new problems when it was over-applied. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:24

Capstern, have you read Fast Food Nation? If anyplace needs a union - amoxy Sep 19, 12:52 2
- I do find some unions that are very what I have heard called white collar have very different agenda... - Capstern (35 Days) Sep 19, 13:10
- I could agree with that. I agree there are places for SOME of them especially if they are serving their orinigal purpose - Capstern (35 Days) Sep 19, 13:08

- Depending on your definition of income and the amount, I would agree. -- nm - Walt_Disney Sep 19, 12:59
- No thanks. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 19, 12:55
- FYI, the FairTax has something like this included. - Strongbad Sep 19, 12:53 10
  - My understanding is that the FairTax proposal shifts taxation from Income Tax to Consumption Tax, right? - musubi Sep 19, 13:02 3
    - But, from what I remember of 'It's a Wonderful Life', "invested" money is still out there in the economy, right? -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 19, 13:09
    - A study done in the few years after the Canadian version was introduced in the 90's showed that business investment went up... - Walt_Disney Sep 19, 13:08
    - oh yeah. forgot about that part.... -- nm - znufrii Sep 19, 13:04
