I believe you mean the flat tax, there is no rate in the "fair" tax beyond the assessed sales tax. You would be correct about its effect on the low wage earners however it is at least a partially regressive tax, there's a reason I always put the word "fair" in quotes. While it may be true that...

If y'all could live with the F-16 shame I have a cougar HOTAS stick I could donate. It's metal and hollow. Also, if you're using pipe as the base, it has threads you could screw on to a pre-fabricated piece for easy removal if you'd like. The gray portion at the base of the stick would screw...

Poland agrees with A4, and assists in poking da Bear.

It's over... or not...

This goes without saying. The reason I and others have posted up our experiences is to give people an idea of how different each individuals experience and healing process can be. I disagree. I was sure happy to hear from Python, who referenced his problems with ghosting post-op. The first...

Update: Looks like I started a bit of a trend eh? I'm glad. The more stories we have on these boards wrt PRK, the more prepared the folks who plan to get it will be. Larger sample size and all that. Once again, a tip of the hat to mxracer who led the way. It also appears that I can't edit the...

When I first realized what the problem was I started searching for anything on double vision post PRK. There were literally hundreds of posts about people who had the ghosting, some as late as 7 months post op. Of course 90% of the people never posted once they hit their 6 month recovery point...

Mxracer posted some fantastic info on the whole PRK process, so I figured that I’d follow up with a rundown of what I’ve experienced up to this point (9 days post-op). Sorry if this gets a little long, but I’m trying to go into considerable detail for those who wish to know. As I continue living...

I just caught the Richard Ira Bong episode and couldn't help but laugh at some of the animation and sound effects. The voice actor they had for Bong's lead sounded like he was no more than 14.

I've never heard of a prof. who did not advocate the use of a financial calculator and failed to specifically mention they were prohibited. I've had 4 different time value of money lectures in four different classes for a total of about 15 minutes of lectures. It consisted of "Here are the...

Now the question is: Who are in the coffins?

To launch planes of course! Edit: Apparently afterburner is required...

Third

You're the second person to say that to me since Sunday. I heard the 22 demo was pretty impressive itself. The Super Hornet demo consisted of two high alpha passes. The first he pushed the nose over and I thought he was gonna fall like a brick. I don't believe he lost more than 100' of...

Anyone else make it to the race in San Diego this year? I know a few of you were planning on it? Bonhomme edged out Mangold to win it again in San Diego. I'd be interested to see/hear photos and stories. I have over 300 shots to sort through, so I'll be doing this in phases... expect more...

:confused:

Looks like you surprised this one, take a close look at his eyes: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=6174&d=1209004048

I think everyone did... See above:

Indeed, I'm there.

I went to KW about 14 years ago... I was probably about 7 or 8. ;) The old man still swears the proudest day of his life is when I saw two "female" trannies and said: "Dad, there's something wrong with those men." Edit: Sorry Huggy, but the thread is titled "NAS Key West: Good, Bad, & Ugly"

Granted I've never met him, but the Dalai Lama never struck me as a violent guy. I know we've discontinued the joke, but... I heard 42% get rollerblades.

This thread reminded me of this video, it took me forever to find it: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=46c_1201408845

Edit: Disregard.

Granted, many... most people may consider my opinions on the topic archaic. With police response times within minutes in most locations now, we are certainly a far cry from needing a gun in every home. We are no longer the "Wild West". That being said, I strongly believe that any individual that...

Because if she did, it would be in every paper in the United States as evidence that firearms are useless to protect citizens, and only the government could be relied upon to maintain our safety. I know you're joking. But(t) knowing what I know about myself, I would have at least attempted to...

It was said with tongue in cheek. Sorry for the lack of smilies. :o

Sorry for digging the thread up, but I bumped into it while searching for something else and couldn't resist posting a few shots I took. I was about sitting on the beach in Coronado about 200 yards from the Quad. The Pre-Race Show The Pre-Race Show2 The Pre-Race Show3 Gate Strike 1 Game...

Adversary squadrons do it, because that's how the communists paint them up. These are from VFC-13 circa '94. A desert scheme over a black and white background, and the black/gray scheme on a brown background. Apparently I just don't get how camouflage works.

I say with absolute certainty I could have done better. No disrespect to you or the victim, but she couldn't have done much worse. She knew there were intruders in her home, and if she owned a firearm at least she would have gained the potential to defend her life.

All of this point, counterpoint stuff is a bunch of crap. There is only one point. This is it. You either believe that you government has the ability and willingness to protect your body and liberty better than yourself, or you believe that you as a citizen have a better idea what your...

Fixed. :o

Haha, Nose.

As said before: I'm a know nothing. That being said, what I have heard about Cope India (the exercise you're talking about) was that it was heavily skewed to India's advantage e.g. WVR engagements only + India having helmet mounted sights etc. I have wondered if the Air Force considered...

Jesus, I didn't expect to get the typical online dosage of Russian propaganda here... The Russians would never overstate their platform capabilities either... :o I also love the fact that in the second diagram it compares the Australian's 1997 inventory to the Chinese's planned inventory.

I was thinking "RC". :D

Absolutely, predicting climate change on a massive scale would be infinitely less complicated than tomorrows weather considering all of the potential variables in the system. (I'm being sarcastic again)

No... God told me he was changing the weather. Edit: I'm going to assume y'all still haven't figured out I was joking. My entire point was the fact that just because people talk about "global climate change" doesn't mean that our weather is ruled by any understandable system. Someone could have...

I think everyone is missing the truly obvious answer here: God did it. When god wants to make the world hot, he does. When god wants to make the world cold, he does. No matter what happens I reject your hypothesis and know that it was God. Or .

According to the OP:

This thread inspired me to dredge up some of my old man's shots:

I've got one, what are these things called, and what is their purpose?

Great site, I have a list a mile long in my bookmarks of great shots from that site, and I've seriously considered getting a few of them in prints. http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=1128026&size=L&width=1100&height=758&sok=&photo_nr=...

I'd consider a $150 million price per copy on top of the program costs a "drawback".

From a rational expectation economic perspective: The Laffer Curve simply doesn't provide an effective (usable) model on which to base tax policy (I'm not trying to imply there is one). It certainly isn't the only important tax/revenue relationship, particularly with consideration toward supply...

You have stated the following: Crime is not correlated to enforcement. The expense of maintaining a police force is unrelated to crime. There is no backlog in the judicial system. Jails and Prisons are not over-crowded. There is no added expense for: building and maintaining more jails, fielding...

Off-Topic: It's macroeconomic theory. In general it doesn't really matter, as the Laffer curve is a revenue maximizing equation. Most will agree that the purpose of government taxation is not to maximize revenue. There's a paper idea for you.

Read the article! That "defendant" (I think that's an interesting turn of phrase) was homeless. That means that YOU and I get to pay for it. "If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you." Furthermore, we don't just "pay" for the justice system in taxes. Next time your family...

A4: That a VF-126 tail? In reference to the conversation, I was golfing with a pair of former 126 guys and the fat joke was made: "You see, the G's they drag all of your bodyweight down to your midsection." The other one replied: "I never pulled any G's in the A-4 or the 18, I was always too...
