Some facts I know:
1. All Ponzi Schemes fail at some point.
2. There is no trust fund for this system.
3. People who pay into SS doesn't have an account building interest.
4. The government owes the SS with IOUs.
5. The system is NOT a contract (in other words it can refuse to reimburse me on my retirement).

I know that 50 years from now, I will not be getting paid from this idiotic government program.
Given my age it is actually riskier for me to be forced to pay this rediculous tax (aproximately 8.5% of my salary), than to do investments for myself.
In the long term, I will get better profits from investing this 8.5% of my salary. And it's far less riskier.

So how do I stop paying this crappy system when I know for sure that I will lose money in this system?

I know most store bought cornmeal mix has wheat flour in it.
I need to make cornbread dressing with my turkey, but am new to the wheat free, gluten free thing. My son can't have that.

Is it a good idea? Is there another language that could be used instead? What about esperando? What about french? or spanish?

Assuming you are not very attracted to your wife or not at all,do you still look at her like she is the sexiest women or would you only look at her that way if she actually was that sexy to you?

EX: I brought my 94 BMW 740iL in for a paint job and windshield replacement. The car is MINT! However, when the windshield was replaced, they did NOT put the Insp. sticker back on (it was a month old). They told me I was going to need 4 new tires (the ones on have only 11,000 miles) and rear brakes. Yeah, Riiiiiiggggghhhttttt. I took it to where I got it inspected and THEY replaced the sticker (nothing wrong with my baby) I went BACK to the dealer and they didn't CARE. I'm PO'd and very very sick of being taken advantage of just because I've got a nice car and female. Any mechanics out there care to discuss this??

I know this is a minority of fans but certain SEC fans amaze me at their homerism. You hear SEC fans saying things like this years Ohio State could never go undefeated in the SEC. That is just absurd Ohio State is a better team than any team in the SEC. I also hear how USC would not win in the SEC despite the fact that every year they beat SEC teams and in games that are not even close. So how come certain SEC fans can't deal in reality.

I am a Baha'i myself and this is a sincere question asked with complete humility from anyone who is familiar with the profecies of Joseph Smith about the second coming of Christ. Is it true that he has said or written that Christ would return when he himself died? And that he would see Him again if he lived up to a certain age that I don't remember exactly?
If yes how are they interpreted by Mormons.

my bf stays with me and he told me he was going to give me some money on the bills.well a whole week went by and nothing. i know he has it in the bank too. he also has seen me struggling a little also. well as soon as i started acting like the relationship needs to be over thats when he says he will give me the money today. he knows i like to go ahead and pay on my bills. why was he holding off so long? and he didnt forget about it either cuz he said once he was going to give me the money. he said it with a little attitude also. he has done this before. its like he wants to see me whine and argue about it before he give it to me. he should help pay cause he stays here too. should i break up with him because i have had this conversation with him before. he is 43 and im 37 and he should know better.its too stressful asking someone over and over to pay their share when they already know they should.should i just go ahead and put him out. or get the money and then put him out.

What would be the ideal build for me? I'm a W/Mo swordsman but I only have the Guild Wars Prophecies game (and all swordsman skills, except hundred blades, which I didn't capture yet, but you can use that too in your answer if you want)? i want this build to be a good damage-dealer and i only need this build for PvE (specifically for the last mission, but it can be for anything else PvE too). Pease list the skills and the stats required for your idea of a good build for me. And if you put a link, please link directly to the guide, not just the website. Thanks!

I accidently dropped my pet hamster down the toilet at the weekend, before I had realised what I had done I had flushed.

Will she survive and if so, how good are a Hamster's homing insticts, will she find her way back to me?

....the jerk got out.

He walked straight into a bar.

Boy did that hurt.

It was an iron bar.

He always drinks his whiskey neat.

Sometimes though, he will remove his tie and take his shirt out of his pants.
