    Why outrage over CEO pay but not over public sector union pay?

    I'm just curious as to how this line of thinking works personally. I think there are a ton of CEO's that are grossly overpaid based on what they provide, there is no doubt about that. However, they negotiate that pay with PRIVATE companies and if that is what they are willing to pay them...

    CPU-Z shows different CPU core freqencies

    I understand Speedstepping could cause this so that has been disabled in bios but the CPU still downclocks when it isn't under a load. Is this an issue? How can I, and should I rectify this problem to lock the frequency?

    Need laptop recommendations

    I have never owned a laptop and I'm seriously considering replacing my laptop with one. I literally do zero gaming. All this laptop will do is surf the web, facebook, and burn some cds. This will be running squeeze server so it will likely be left plugged in and on all day every day...

    Please define rich (with a poll)

    Effectively what I want to know is at what point of income for one year should someone be taxed in the upper most tax bracket. I'm just curious what everyone considers rich. There is a very popular thread here about "the angry rich" and I always find it curious to see what that point is where...

    Oh the hypocrisy of Unions (Jon Stewart bit)

    I'm sure many of you saw Jon Stewart last night with Aasif Mandvi covered a "union protest" of Wal-Mart right? Ya know the one where the union tard leader complained and staged a sign waving protest over poor pay, no benefits, and people losing hours at the local Wal-Mart. Then he went...

    Why don't we strip the Tea Part down to what it REALLY means?

    Republicans have obviously Co-Opted the Tea Party and while they chant slogans for Constitutional Rights they still don't want anyone to do drugs, have abortions, and heaven forbid gay people be allowed to marry. The only reason this has been allowed to happen is because the CORE ISSUES that...

    Fair Tax

    With all the arguing about the Flat Tax I think honestly the way to go is the Fair Tax. The Fair Tax basically taxes everyone based on what they buy. The beauty of this tax is that you can make certain things tax free. These things would be any type of food, utilities, used goods like cars...

    How many of you believe in the Economic Bill of Rights?

    2 Camcorders for golf training area

    Hey guys, I'm setting up a golf hitting bay in my garage and I plan to set up a computer with two camcorders to view my swing. That said, I know absolutely nothing about camcorders. The camcorders will be somewhat close to where I stand so the wider the zoom the better. I have no...

    So can anyone tell me why I should pay my house note?

    So basically in the bailout you have one of two things happening: A: The government will buy a house that is foreclosed and take the pressure off of the bank and the buyer of the home. B: The government will buy up the mortgage that the buyer cannot afford to pay for and "renegotiate" a...

    Jena 6? Who cares, now face the real problems with this state.

    Many of you cry racism is the issue with many minority communities and sometimes that is the case. However, sometimes you get a whole lot of educated activists who have no idea why the other half is forced to remain stupid, ignorant, and generally failures in life. The Jena 6 for example...

    Please explain why the death/estate tax is fair.

    So I'm just curious who among you support the estate/death tax. Basically how it works is when your direct family member dies you have to pay the IRS a tax based on anything the leave you. So basically this is money that has already been taxed once through income taxes, taxed again through...

    Poll: Should Clinton have been impeached?

    Bear in mind that the argument that "I shouldn't have been forced to answer that question thus its OK to lie" isn't a valid excuse. He blatantly lied to a grand jury, should he have been impeached for it?

    A couple of questions that have to be answered about Obama

    Ok, firstly I'll get a couple of things off my chest. 1: I have a lot of respect for a real black contender that does not ever play the race card ever. Its an ace up his sleeve that he refuses to play and for that I give him a lot of kudos. 2: That doesn't stop me from hating his fans much...

    If you could cut gas prices in half would you do it?

    I'm just wondering how many people would truly want to cut gas prices on this forum. I know that a lot of the talking points (especially from the left) is how high gas prices are, but if they truly believed in global warming then more expensive gas is the only thing that is going to stop...

    Democrats need an exit strategy for the primary

    Ok this bears discussing (spinoff thread and a different thought)

    Ok first of all I'd like to poke a little fun and notice some hypocrisy. So many times have members the Democrat party thrown the race card around, especially aimed at Republicans accusing them of "bringing back Jim Crow laws if they get back into power" for example. Also sexism is often...

    Enough of the Iraqi body count threads

    Calling out all commies, Economics for dummies

    Ok this is desperately needed around here because apparently some people simply do not realize how these things work. I don't know if it is just economic ignorance or their blinders just refuse to allow them to see the facts of things, but it is a sad reality none the less. Now before any of...

    Save the environment, screw the Hybrids!

    I found this to be quite interesting and highly ironic to be honest. Turns out we can make internal combustion engines that are far, far, far cleaner than hybrid engines. The only problems are that the government wont let carmakers sell them and they just don't have that "I'm driving a Hybrid...

    This is why Democrats will lose in '08

    The Democrats will lose in '08 for a very simple reason. Everytime you guys lose an election your base assumes you should move further to the left. Bush is constantly labeled as a "polarizing figure" which he undoubtedly is. But the Democrat response to this should be to move further to the...
