I find this argument to be rather "intriguing" from a statistical standpoint, because as of 2016 (latest BLS figures I've seen), only about 2.7% of hourly paid workers earned at or below the prevailing federal minimum wage. The figure stood at 13.4% in 1979 (first year that the data was compiled...

None of it is OK, Johan. Playing tit-for-tat or saying, "he started it" (whichever side) is not how a functioning republic works. I seldom watch the MSM/"pop culture" news anymore... pretty much restrict my news viewing to financial outlets. But even I can't avoid hearing about the incivility...

I haven't been through that many threads today (I'm at home sick, so I'm reading slooooowly), but I usually want to rep someone and can't. I don't know how the system really works, but it seems like I'm seldom able to rep people when I want to. I guess it's because I tend to rep the same people...

Whether I agree or disagree, I have to say that this is a very well written and thought out post. :hatsoff:

But even a dramatic rise in the price of oil wouldn't make up for the amount of international investment that they're set to lose if this leads back to the crown. Remember, one of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's main goals has been to wean the kingdom off revenue from crude and attract more...

Seems to depend on how much rain we get or what the temps are during the late spring and early summer some years. A few years ago we had a big stink bug infestation. Those things were everywhere! They'd get in your car if you left the windows cracked. They'd crawl in your house under the screen...

Was never hot straight off the assembly line. Might have been the prettiest girl in her ******. But that just means she had some ugly ass relatives.

Well, because he was a journalist. As for why the Saudis would have gone to such lengths over a relative nobody, I don't know. :dunno: He obviously pissed off the crown prince pretty bad for it to go this far though. Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been whacking guys faster than Tony Soprano. You...

^^^There's another great discussion that breaks from the conventional, accepted (elitist) view of higher education being necessary to be successful. There are many paths to success. And there are many definitions of success. But if you just buy into pop culture's definition of what success...

"Whirlpool of Desire" Really good choices in this round... hard to choose.

I'm happy with the stock market and the economy. But this old saying still rings true - you make yourself an easy target if you ******* this rule:

Good riddance. I didn't like the old cunt 30 years ago and I don't give two shits about her now. I hear she's seeking shelter in Israel now. Good. Stay there. :thefinger

I thought this was the most humorous thing that I've seen from the hearings. A few of the women were clearly triggered by a dismissive wave of the hand on the Senator’s part. “Why aren’t you brave enough to talk to us and exchange …,” one woman inquired before Hatch scoffed at her display...

As long as it's not too much, I'll eat a hotdog with relish, but I don't request it. I prefer chili (with beans is OK), mustard, onions and slaw. I'm happy enough with that.

"Passion Field" I like the western theme. :hatsoff:

Kirsten Gillibrand = Hillary Lite... half the calories (but twice as goofy and unlikable). Every (early) name that pops up as a major contender for the Democrat presidential nomination seems to either be a socialist, a feminazi... or both. If that's who's running the show at the DNC HQ these...

I find it rather interesting that neither Lemon nor any of his guests took racist (of course that was racist) cheap shots at Jim Brown. I mean, he was sitting right there beside Kanye. And that's not the first time Jim Brown has sat down with Trump. But they didn't call him out. Why is that, I...

This is as close as I found:

Rachel Maddow. Just to see the look on her face when I say, "Hey Rache... how 'bout I bend you over and get all ****** Planet on your bare ass?!"

Now that was freaking hilarious! :thumbsup: And I needed a good laugh today.

More like a girl when these were taken. But still, one that could make you break the law, leave your wife and quit your job (before you got fired) had to have it goin' on... in a major way. Hmm, hmph! I do say!!! :drool2: Dawson Miller

And the shoes begin to drop... My guess is still that once the automation projects really kick in, that $400 million-$1.9 billion estimate will be closer to breakeven in just a few years time. Plus, unlike people, machines can be depreciated (tax savings) and they don't get benefits. I read...

Yeah, the Subie commercials are easily my favorites right now. Whatever ad agency came up with those is way ahead of the pack (get it, "the pack"? :D Ah, I **** me.) I'd love to see them do one with a Rottweiler and a Pitbull in an STI. I know that'll never happen... but I still like the idea...

She's cute, but she doesn't do anything for me. Plus, I find her to be almost as annoying as Taylor Swift. Not quite as bad, but almost. But hey, different strokes for different folks. :dunno:

As far as 2019 is concerned, I'm really looking forward to seeing just how good Leclerc is in a top level car. I could easily see Vettel having a 2007 Alonsoesque meltdown next year if the *** nips at his heels too hard.

Mundane, repetitive shipping, manufacturing and assembly tasks will be, and are being hit the hardest by AI and automation already. Even on Wall St., predictive, algorithmic trading systems, which (among other things) pick up on keywords as they search widely used financial sites, are quite...

That's what I've always done too. But as my eyesight has gotten worse, I've been known to totally (and I do mean totally) misinterpret the meaning of certain things. Yeah, yeah... I should wear my drugstore reading glasses. But I'm so much prettier without them. :pathead:

The first Miss FreeOnes. :hatsoff: She was definitely a character.

As always, the devil is in the details. No for-profit corporation is altruistic when it raises wages or benefits. It's usually done either to attract or retain employees in a competitive job market (which we have now, with our near full-employment situation), or it's a PR ploy meant to make...

Ya know, in reality, I don't think it matters how objective and tempered a person is, or has been. I have to think that once you engage in some of the tactics that the Democrats used on Kavanaugh, it very well could shape a close vote in the future. I mean, at the end of the day, he's human...

I'm thinking that I *might* have tried it once back in college. I can't exactly remember lots of things I might have eaten back then though. ;) I do like good chili, but I'm just OK with chili fries. Not sure how I'd feel about chili on my burger. Maybe I'll try it sometime and see.

I'm really trying to search my memory for the last time a driver in the hunt for a championship self-destructed as badly as Sebastian Vettel has in the latter part of this season. Both Vettel and Ferrari are falling apart under pressure (****** and unforced errors), while Hamilton and Mercedes...

"Rim Shot" is a good shot. :thumbsup:

I've sat here for five minutes trying to figure out if she'd been Photo-shopped at all. I don't think she has. Dayuum, what a body! :eek: Yeah, I'm diggin' those big tits (fake or not), erect nipples, full hips and thighs. :drool2: Pretty face, nice hair, etc. Only criticism is that tacky as...

Always have. Always will. If there's nothing but an air dryer inside, I'll get some toilet paper from a stall, open the door with it, hold it open with my foot and throw the TP in (toward) the trash can.

Yeah, I think content owners should count too. Porno Dan is a character. I should also mention Sabrina Deep (when she still posted here :(). She'd wander into threads and actually converse with people about non-porn topics. Briana Lee would every now and again, but not so much. Hell, if it...

Different kind of spanking...

And for something completely different, from way back whenever:

Where girls with D cups are considered flat chested::

Even though she was here to do a sales job to win the first Miss FreeOnes, I got a real kick out of talking to Bree Olsen on here. But I'd have to say that Xo Gisele (aka George) was my favorite.

I'm almost sorry that I was right... uh, almost, I say. ;) Pretty good race at what is often a rather boring circuit. The way I see it, Hamilton owes at least two victories this year to Bottas: this one and the one at the Italian GP. Seems like there was another one too, where he played the...

Thanks for the heads up. I still can't believe that Tom Petty is dead and that it's already been a year. :(

Melisa in Paradise for me as well.

I'm not a Democrat or a Republican. So I have to say, I admire you for your honesty. :hatsoff:

I'm happy to see Bottas get a pole before his confidence began going downhill. I don't see him being allowed to win this one, unless Lewis breaks down or is so far behind the Ferraris that Bottas can't wave him by. But I am glad to see him have a good day. Looks like Putin won't come through...

Blonde Ambition right here. :thumbsup:

No, I've been around for awhile and I've voted for people from both parties in the past. IMO, this is arguably a new low... at least in my lifetime. This entire episode is about using gender politics to eliminate or delay Trump's pick until after the midterms. If pouring gasoline on Christine...

I admit that I haven't followed every twist & turn of this situation/claim. But because of where it happened, I closely followed the claim made by Jackie Coakley about a fellow UVA student ****** her. And like this case, the media decided that she was telling the truth... just because - and...
