C'mon, he's bill gates. I'd just wait until those cyborg's operating systems crash, then make my move.

I vote outside due to the odds.

I have nothing against organized (or disorganized religion), but I agree with the term: "Freedom is the distance between church and state."

That depends. Would Bill have his money with him? If so, then I would fly over to that island and take it from him because the US govt wouldn't be protecting him. And I think that about sums it up, the rich get to keep what they have and make more thanks to the govt. If that bum were on that island, he would just rot away and no one would care.

I'm a cpa and I've spent a number of years working with taxes, and I got to say, there's really no system that would be totally fair to everyone. I think we should be paying more attention to how the govt. spends the money it collects from us.

If "matter cannot be created nor destroyed" then wouldn't traveling backwards in time violate this rule? If the sum of all the contents in the universe = x, and you sent n material back in time, wouldn't x + n make the universe pop in some manner? And even if it were possible, wouldn't sending something backwards in time, even if it were on atom, cause a paradox because that one atom would interact with the older universe? These kind of questions have always led me to believe time travel backwards is impossible.

That's pretty cool.

Aardvark, you're my hero.

This is his reply to all that: I don't know about you guys, but this guy is driving me nuts.

Thanks Aardvark!

I totally agree. I'm a tax auditor for my state, and I see how this stuff works, I'm just really bad at arguing it (not a good debater), but I've gotta find a way to tell this guy why exactly he's wrong.

Okay, me and a buddy are having a little debate over this proposed flat tax. I'm against it, because of the regressive nature of it all. I know a lot of you are really into this debate, so I'll ask you what should be the counter argument in this. Let's begin with my argument: Now here's his reply:
