Oh I loved that place!!! I took the scenic route from Jasper to Banff, stopping at Lake Louise on the way. Jasper was my favorite place.

.......... either you can't see how incredibly annoying this is or you're simply trolling. This reminds me of the repetitive seagulls in Finding Nemo. MINE! MINE! MINE!

I asked my co-workers if they knew what it was. One knew of the policy but didn't even know it was called "Wet foot, dry foot", the rest of them had no idea what it was. Conclusion: I am just biased because I am of Cuban descent and was born and raised in Miami. ;) However, the "How do you...

Even being the numbers-lover woman I am, I didn't even take the "1%" statement literally. To me, it's just a figurative statement. "WE ARE THE 93.65%" is not just as catchy....

lol omg.. that is SO BAD... and at such an iconic place, too!!! Cafe Versailles... ahh good old times... I don't expect him (or any other candidate) to know everything, but I'm actually really surprised that he didn't know about the wet foot, dry foot policy. Perhaps I'm just biased because I...

Ah yes, that makes more sense then. I was just thinking that 1 million dollars doesn't really cut it much anymore compared to only 10 years ago. Like Cheetah said, you need to earn over a million dollars to live comfortably when you retire. Of course, some people only need a lot less. Depends on...

I guess it depends on the time periods you are comparing. I was comparing now with a time that's like 10-15 years ago. If you compare a millionaire from say.. back in the 50s to now, then yes, being a billionaire is the new millionaire.

That is hilarious!! Because I did the exact same thing a few weeks ago! I was like.. DANG..... And that's assuming TODAY's dollars.....

My opinion? I don't see how being rich automatically means you love 100% unregulated capitalism. As if 100% capitalism is the only way to become rich? Sometimes people think in extremes. If you are against capitalism, that doesn't mean you are 100% for the opposite. There IS such a thing...

Does being a millionaire mean a lot anymore? I would think that having at least $10 million net worth is the new "millionaire" in our society today.

Food for thought... isn't hate crime somewhat of a premeditated crime?

I understand the difference between motive and premeditation, but the victims are still upset about the difference in punishment. You said that hate crime was disrespectful to the victims due to the difference in punishment. See my point? Obviously, some people believe that premeditation makes...

I understand the bolded but...don't people say that anyway even without hate crimes? Everyone wants their perp to get the maximum. I just find hate crimes not that different from other methods to assess the degree of punishment. For example, Perp A savagely beat up someone to get their...

Effective for...? Specifically to reduce crime in general or...?

I'll be honest. Hate crime doesn't make sense. It is unfair. If racism didn't exist, that is.

Are there any statistics on how many people were arrested and charged (not necessarily jailed) and their race breakdown? I'd think it would be interesting to compare this data with the jailed data that Naisho posted. "Why don't you look for yourself, you lazy bastard?" Um.. well I'm hoping to...

It actually happens when you have data from Excel (or whatever program) and you reduce the significant digits, then you C&P these numbers with the reduced significant numbers to another spreadsheet, then add those up. That's one way.

A question: Do you have a problem with idea of hate crime itself? Or do you have a problem with the ACCURACY of one being a "hate crime"? (i.e. some people tend to see Race 1 beating up a Race 2 as an automatic hate crime) I'm wondering if people just reject the idea of hate crime or they see...

I'm sorry but this is not a very good example. I mean, you might as well ask: Suppose: 1. A person assaults another person. Is this first or second degree of assault? 2. A person kills another person. Is this murder or manslaughter? 3. A man assaulted a woman. Is this rape, another...
