No, I don't owe them for that. Taxes should be targeted at individuals. Like, whatever money I MYSELF cost the government, I should definitely have to pay for that. I should not have to pay for someone else's kid to go to school. The parents should pay for that, per kid.

Hm. Would a logical man such as yourself at least agree that your attitude is very selfish, regardless of what your obligations might or might not be?

Selfish? Probably. But what it all comes down to is, why should I give money that I earned to something that didn't earn it to do something that doesn't affect me? Why should I be forced to give up money I didn't spend?

So you're suggesting that you personally should bear the full cost for your education, for every road you could possibly drive on, for every single thing the government pays for you?

 

That's a hell of a lot more than 30%, let me tell you that.

Yes. You pay for your cost to the nation. I believe that to be fair. It's not like I'm going to march on Congress anytime soon and make it so, so why can't we just let each other have our views? I believe people should pay for what they cost, you believe people should each bare about equal weight. I can see the pros and cons of both. BACK TO THREAD.

 

Confession: I really, REALLY want CN to start showing Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends reruns.

 

tl;dr: Conversation went from tax laws to cartoons.

I'm sorry, but that is really nasty... A shower only takes 5 minutes.

 

Hence sometimes. But I don't shower that fast, I take at least 10 minutes ;/

 

I can get one done in 2. Beat that punks.

I spend at least 5 on just my hair. :blink:

Shiny's Confession; He doesn't wash properly.

 

My Confession; I had fantasies about my art teacher when I was still in school :|

And I'm telling you if everyone paid equally nothing would ever get done. It would be financially unfeasible to build roads that were anything but major. Let's put it this way - the street you live on probably cost several hundred thousand dollars to pave, plus a few more tens of thousands every few years to maintain. I obviously don't know where you live but I doubt there are more than 30 houses on a street like that. That's 10 grand a person just to build the damn road. For many people, thats a year of taxes.

 

Bearing equal weight is like communism: nice in theory. That's about as far as it goes.

i rarely shower, except for the days i have work or right before i go out. you could say, I'm saving the planet

You could try shower pooling. You know, like carpooling, only with showers.

Confession: I wish my two pet fish would die. They've been alive for some seven years (Yeah. >_>) and I'm sick of the sound of the filter, the power they take, you know, everything. :| Am I a horrible person? D:

This is actually the twelfth set of fish. I've been secretly replacing them when they die so that you'd have to put up with having fish that you hate.

 

Stop replacing them, please? D:

I stalk the pictures thread for girls. :|

 

Another confession; I've dreamed of peeing in a toilet, to end up actually peeing the bed wet before. Damn embarrassing though!

I did that once tbh. :oops:

I could get ready a lot faster in the morning, if I didn't spend so long in the shower >.>

I did that fairly often as a kid. It was embarrassing. Of course I was pretty young, so it wasn't that big of an issue.

When I read the original post quoted, I only read the first line, so I was fairly confused.

Some preps joked around about my girlfriend's panic attack today... I'm having thoughts of throwing Molotovs through their windows while they sleep.

Who makes fun of someone having a panic attack? How [bleep]ing stupid do you have to be?

Confession: I make fun of people who have panic attacks. And who thinks of throwing bombs into someones house; isn't that somewhat stupid as well?

 

Another confession:

I shower at nighttime, and not in the morning. DON'T JUDGE ME.

Well throwing Molotovs in someone's house is pretty stupid too.

I do too. :ohnoes:

Yeah what's so strange? :mellow:

 

I'm completely zonked in the mornings. I'm lucky if I have time to eat, never mind time to shower.

I get up at 6:40 for a bus at 6:43. I think it's understandable that I would shower later.

Too bad it can happen at any age. Imagine being married, 35, and that happens... >.<

I used to have this problem up until I was about 11 or 12. Now, If I ever have those dreams with a toilet, I wake up and just go to the bathroom instead of wetting my bed.

I sleep from when I start sleeping straight through till morning. I rarely wake up. And on those very, very rare occasions, I turn over and go back instantly.
