What's on Your Mind? - Page 2

I didn't feel so crazy after I heard the first speaker. He said every working american could be taxed 100% and still doesn't come close to the federal budget. Now that's crazy.

I'm gonna hang out and listen to the last dude speak, he's from some country I never heard of. I like his accent. LOL

Ace952.... so did the chick take it okay? Abhay...lol!

 clc952...

   Maybe she didn't take it so well ...and did away with poor Ace...;)

Ruger1... too funny!

lol...I cancelled on her at the last minute.
I think it has been rescheduled for this friday.


Whta's on your mind?

It's okay Ace, we chicks all understand about the "its not you...it's me" speal.  We deliver it enough ourselves. 

What is on my mind?  The Dizzy's.  Some sort of inner ear infection.  I wish it would take a hike, it's been hanging on for 3 weeks now.

Ace952, ahahaha... Red Sable, I hope you feel better, the inner ear infection thing is awful! As for my mind... I usually contemplate really deep things, such as why does GSP (ultimate fighting) remind me of Vern Troyer (mini me) or why would one person choose to be a yankees fan when they could be an awesome RED SOX fan instead... I know my deep thoughts are hard to relate to but there you have it =)

 

 America’s collective debt, also called the national debt or the public debt, represents the money that the U.S. government owes to the owners of debt instruments that are issued by the U.S. treasury. There are several types of debt instruments issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. All of these items are collectively called treasuries.

America has always had debt. Since the 18^th century, the country has carried a load of debt that has fluctuated with the political and social climate of the day. In 1860, America’s debt was $65 million. The Civil War brought about a major spike in the debt. World War I and World War II also brought about major rises in the debt. The latest American debt numbers have put it at its steepest numbers since the debt level spiked during World War II.

America’s debt, as owed to foreign nations, has been rising steadily over the years. The gross debt in trillions of U.S. dollars was about $10 trillion in 1940. In 1950, it had risen to about $18 trillion. After falling for a few decades, it began rising again in the late 1980s. In 2009, America’s debt was again up to $18 trillion. It is projected to continue to rise over the next few years. By 2011 it is projected to be about $20 trillion. The projected amount of American debt in the next few years equals 100 percent of the U.S. GDP.

Ace....may I give my 2 cents?

why not spare the BS of "it's not me" and tell the girl whats wrong with her... when i dated someone and it did not work out, i would tell them.."dude, you suck, your obsession with cars is annoying, your foot scratching on a bottom shelf of a book case is disgusting, and your snorting at my comments is uncalled for...now, i can't put up with that sh*t, so good luck finding someone who can and will put up with it"...believe me later on they will tell you (if you remain in the same circle of friends or job)...no one ever said anything and I never noticed that i did this or that...its like a kick in a groin but at least there is a reason behind it....
I had always said my reasons of why, and never took blame such as it's not you it's me...we all know its BS, so why do it?....give it to her straight, maybe you are her 10th bf who tells her that and she is wondering "why"...shed some light on her stupidity or your reasons...she may change it...she will hate you for it at first but...you need to be a man and grown some hair on your balls.
