    New Semester

    By now I should have been happily into nothing but Psy and a English, but these damn make up general eds are driving me nuts. I still have a couple histories, Bio 2, gym class (I refuse to call it kiniseology) and a computer class to go to complete this programs general ed 45 hour core. Anyone have a good source for cheap textbooks other than off campus bookstores?
  2. Most of the Mexican border has no fence. You are correct, in some of the cities we have fences. However, we do not have gun turrets or automatic weapons. People are free to travel within 20-25 miles of either border without any special permits or restrictions. I worked in Mexico for a couple years and all I needed to do was fill out some paper work for a FM3 (green card). I think a gun turrret on every corner in Chicago would be nice. Chicago is the murder capitol of the US and soldiers with automatic weapons patrolling every street would make everyone feel safer.

  4. Absolutely. Put a giant wall up all around and throw away the key. No one gets in or out. That's freedom.

    New Semester

    Spring is in the air, or at least that is what they call this semester. I have a screwed up schedule because I was so busy posting here, I forget to pay my tuition before the deadline and they dropped me from a couple courses I wanted. I have: College Algebra Research Methods in Psychology Autobiographical Literature (dead people from 200 years ago) Algebra has been a struggle so far. It has been 20 years since I worried about polynomials, quadratic equations, square roots, and I hope after this semester it will be 40 more. Way back when I took the required course for my program, it doesn't hold up to the standard and I have to retake a math requirement. I had a 26 on the Math portion of the ACT or else I would have had to take a intermediate class that wouldn't have counted for nothing. The other two tie into my Psy Major / English Minor
  7. I'm hardly ever here. I have created a bot that automatically responds to various threads.
  8. It was the foreign angle I was wondering about. For example when I was working in Mexico a portion of my income was on a Mexico payroll and the majority was on a US payroll. My Mexico earnings were taxed by Mexico and then taxed in the US. These were all legal transactions. By-the-way I received credit for all payments to Mexico as if they were US. MOst of the time the remaining payments to the US were rather small. Plus Texas has no state income tax. I wonder how you report this Any additional income? $1,000,000 Source of income? Consulting fees How paid? Small bills off the coast of Greece in a large suitcase . . .
  9. I wonder if you have to pay federal taxes on foreign bribes?

  12. So it has to get cold for people to enjoy hockey? That is exactly why the sport is in trouble. The populations is the US has been in flux for decades. People move from state to state all the time. The states in the south have seen a net population increase and the north a decrease. The fans have moved south. Or are you saying hockey is such a s***ty sport that only people in the north can be attracted to it? Hockey is closer to soccor than any otehr sport. Where are your biggest markets for soccor? South. Fans down here instatntly appreaciate a sport that scoring isn't every 30 seconds. Of the close to 100 minor and independent hockey teams in the US, 4 of the top 25 attendance clubs all are within 50 miles of the Texas - Mexico border. Minnesoat couldn't even support a team. Drop every team in the north, eh. Hockey will grow when they have fans border to border instead of some weird regional thing. Hockey needs to attract a bigger audience, not smaller. Hockey will be healthy when television will carry games nationwide like all the other major sports. Sure run a league for the die hard fans. See the Blackhawks in front of 1,500 die hards. How many Hawk fans attend 25 or more games vs how many people attend less than 3 or 4? The casual fan is what drives a sports economy. Add up all the people who make one or two trips a year to a baseball game vs. the die hards and the pile from the casual fan is much greater than the die hards. Die hards come to a game and spend less per game then the family there for their once or twice game. Imagine a league with teams in the Hartfords of the world vs. teams in the Atlantas of the world. Which is going to be more successful?
  13. Could Jose move to 2nd? I heard this morning that the reason the White Sox have not made any other moves is they are waiting for this to go through. And isn't the phrase The Old Gray Mare is Dead?
