That's a GREAT shot! :thumbsup: Sorry I couldn't rep you again. :hatsoff:

Anything that soars to the moon over a relatively short period of time (for no good reason), and then plummets into the dirt by 85%+ within a few months, isn't for me. People try to justify it as a good investment by averaging bitcoin's returns over a number of years. That doesn't really work...

Unless I see proof that Baconsalt has been officially ****** (or he's dead), he will always get my vote. He's like the Professor Emeritus of Sickness and Depravity. But I'd be willing to give Dino a vote, just because I think he could wear it as a badge of honor. :thumbsup: Dude has a wicked...

I've re-read the OP twice now. Your counter argument has no relation to what he said in the OP. He didn't mention anything about Republican vs. Democrat administrations at the federal level. And the title of the thread is "If Immigration Creates Wealth, Why Is California America's Poverty...

There was a time (in my youth) when L.A. was attractive to me. I lived there for about six months in my 20s and planned on transferring to UCLA. But even in the 80s (way before the situation was nearly as bad as it is now), the tanned bodies, sunshine and pretty cars weren't enough to make me...

Thank you, sir. :hatsoff: Although I have to admit, everything I know, I learned from Bugs Bunny (except when he wore a dress... Homey don't play that). There are a lot of smart people on here - used to be even more. And whatever area of expertise we have individually, I feel like we should...

Looks like the team battles are the only things that need to be decided this season. I don't think that Ferrari could beat Merc over the course of the season, even if they got a one lap head start at every remaining race. They'd find a way to foul that up. I'm pulling for Hamilton and Leclerc.

Once the Bucks polish off the Raptors, and assuming the Warriors beat the Trailblazers (which I think they will), I think Giannis is going to be taking home a big ring this year. At least I hope that he does.

Don't quote me on this, but I'm fairly certain that your cost basis (for tax purposes) will be based on the fair market value of the primary residence property at the time that you inherited it (plus or minus a few months, since real estate can't be valued as quickly or precisely as a stock or...

I don't know what type of real estate you're looking to sell (residential, rental, commercial, etc.). But if you have rental or commercial and you want to avoid the capital gains tax hit, assuming you want to continue in real estate, look into 1031 exchanges. You can't really avoid the tax hit...

I appreciate that, Dino.:hatsoff: There's wisdom in your questions as well. I like posters who pose things that ***** me to think. Again :hatsoff: I think you realize, just as I do, that some of the questions we ask here and things that we discuss here, we would ******* the laws of political...

Easiest to control? Great question. I'd say it's those who want to advance to the next rung up the ladder. In other words, those who will "play the game" to get more of something. It's hard to control someone who doesn't want anything more. Since most of us (OK, some of us) realize that the game...

I'm sorry that you aren't posting here any longer, or at least not currently. Even when we didn't agree, I always enjoyed reading your posts. Here, I agree with you. Certainly extremism gets the headlines. But since you wrote this (fine) post, I believe that we have drifted more towards...

Not sure. But I have found a certain amount of irony and humor in Soros accusing Zuckerberg and Sandberg of being anti-Semitic, simply because they allowed his New World Order/globalist leanings to be pointed out and discussed on their Facebook (spyware) platform. Whether it's coincidental or...

This is easily my least favorite race. In fact, I **** it. I've always hated it. I always will **** it.

I'm guessing that bottled water is the most common rip-off. I know for a fact that the water that's bottled at the local Pepsi plant comes from the county water supply. Another one that could have been on the list is whole (or most any kind of cash value) life insurance. I fell for that when I...

I might subscribe to Netflix just so I can watch that. I'm disappointed that Mercedes and Ferrari (the top two teams in the sport) wouldn't participate though. Let's see... one of the main reasons they're in Formula One is to sell cars and merchandise. So they didn't participate in a show...

Yikes! Pia Zadora has a ******** that married Slick Nick Cage? Who knew? :dunno:

Uh oh! Catfight! Catfight! :nanner: I see that Lisa posted in this thread. Were Lisa and Boothbabe the most prominent non-female "girls" who ever posted on FreeOnes?

When one buys into consumerism, you'll do whatever you have to do to buy that next shiny trinket. Rather than learning how to play video games or how to fill out NCAA brackets (neither of which I can do... because these things don't interest me), that same amount of time could be spent learning...

Yep. And oddly enough it was Verne Troyer. Mini Me was a hard drinkin' little sumbeach!

Interesting take from Berger. Berger: Soon you’re going to have two camps at Ferrari

Interesting how typing "Jess Whitsen" into a search engine brings up references to and pics of Gisele. I have no idea if she's reinventing herself again or it's some sort of impersonator. But it is interesting how there are so many references and even a LinkedIn link. :dunno: BTW, she was just...

tl/dr

That's actually not a bad idea. Course, she'd probably find a way to be whiny and annoying in that too. Maybe BDSM porn where she always has to wear a ball gag. :yesyes:

Same here and for the same reasons. :thumbsup: Oh, who am I trying to fool? It's her hips that I can't take my eyes off of. :drool2:

I think a bigger problem is that too many people don't take advantage of the opportunities that are setting in front of them. But as you say, what good is a book of knowledge if you can't read... or don't realize what a better life even looks like? So most certainly our society could & should do...

Well, I'm not for picking on someone who just happens to be fat, whether it's because of over-eating/lack of self-control or especially some kind of health issue. But with that said, there's things that you see... things that people wear (especially fat women) that just make me go :wtf: There...

I'm hoping that PBS Masterpiece/BBC will continue the story from Wolf Hall and make Bring Up the Bodies into a mini-series too. The books Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies focus on Thomas Cromwell - Henry VIII is more of a secondary character. Wolf Hall was as amazing as TV gets (especially in...

I honestly can't remember any other former F1 WDC unraveling in the way that Sebastien Vettel has. Several had ups and downs after winning the title - especially those who won based on good driving mixed with more than their fair share of lucky breaks. What I mean is, some of those guys weren't...

Just listening to some of the convoluted thoughts that fall out of Alyssa Milano's little brain and to her mouth makes me have a LOT more respect for Paris Hilton. Now wait, hear me out. Yeah, Paris Hilton's IQ is probably at least as low as Alyssa's - but we don't really know. Paris has been...

Hollywood? Not even close. The revenue and wealth generated by Northern California's Silicon Valley dwarfs the movie and TV industry in SoCal. Cupertino based Apple, by itself, records higher revenues than the movie and TV businesses in Hollywood combined. Apple, Google, Facebook, etc. are all...

Allow me to hijack your thread. We all know who is the hottest of them all: Kabby Borders Even male feminists have to say to themselves (silently, of course), "now that is a big, fine ass!" :drool2:

While we can all be sympathetic to this hypothetical worker's situation (I'm going to call her "Joan"), what Rep. Porter (and others who lobby for higher wages for lower skilled jobs) doesn't get is, when large businesses raise wages across the board, they usually seek to either reduce overall...

Valteri Bottas grows a beard and screams to the world, "I ain't Lewis Hamilton's bitch!!!" :mad: Good job on the pole in China, Valteri. I'm pulling for Lewis. But I didn't want to see Bottas get fired at the end of the season for non-performance and get booted from his seat in ***********...

I don't think that he's talking about how the GOP might label a Dem nominee or candidate. Pool_Hustler can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that he's talking about people who are more centrist in their thinking, some without party affiliation, who *might* be inclined to vote for a Democrat...

My personal feeling is that symbols to a cause which was based on a rebellion against the republic should never have been supported with public funds and should never have been allowed on public lands in the first place. I'm a believer in the republican form of government. And my belief is that...

***** as a monkey in moving traffic... sounds like dude has some major issues.

Going with "Beach Lovers" - better photograph (and less silicone).

I won't be sad when Tim Cook departs his C-suite office. I understand that profits are important to public companies. But imagine how it could be if Apple regained its focus on customer satisfaction and making innovative products (a Mac Pro that wasn't just a shiny, pretty, over-priced toy...

Where did I say that I trusted any of it? :dunno: I do, because I have no data or facts to prove otherwise. While it's possible that Trump won the popular vote, and by some slight of hand, the popular vote was shown going to Hillary... to pull off such a scheme would require a lot of moving...

Sure, she underperformed. People generally saw her as untrustworthy and unlikable. Outside of the feminist crowd, who wanted anything with a vagina to win, no one was enthusiastic about getting her elected. It wasn't her politics that sunk her. It was her character... or lack thereof. Even if...

A foreign national who enters the U.S. illegally can be both convicted of a crime and held responsible for a civil ********* under the U.S. immigration laws. ******* entry also carries consequences for anyone who might later attempt to apply for a green card or other immigration benefit. The...

Yeah, I wondered where he got that. I had a "wait... what?" moment there. She won the popular vote by around 2.9 million votes, as best I recall. I think she also had some baggage in the closet that didn't make the train trip, but be that as it may, as flawed as she was, the voters did choose...

Dang. They put the bracelets on homeboy's jet - those are sweet little planes too. Seems like when your life begins to unravel, there's always a cat that swipes the yarn ball that much farther across the floor. It would be ironic if Mikey Avenatti got to share a cell with Lori Loughlin's hubby...

After being beaten like broken drum kits last year, the UVA men's basketball team captured our state's first national championship in any sport (if I'm not mistaken). I couldn't pick a single one of these **** out of a lineup if my life depended on it (cause I don't follow college sports any...

UPDATE: Lori Loughlin now faces 20 years in prison after being indicted on money laundering, fraud charges I don't care how much you like yoga, never take legal advice from a goat.

I'm not defending him, but I think that he's just being realistic in saying that in social/political matters, you can't just snap your fingers and instantly get exactly what you want when you want it. And he's not wrong. Outside of a revolution or a coup, how would any sort of radical change...

You don't have to put down two. Put down one when you walk up (if there's somebody in front of you) and be done with it. The next person (if there is one) can do the same. If I'm the only person in line when I walk up, I'm not watching and waiting for the next mope to walk up. I'm not paying...
