Re: Buying a House w/ No Job
By the way, if you were making that sort of money and using Neteller, you definitely want to get those taxes taken care of sooner rather than later. I have seen several people speculate online that...

You missed the fact that the guy had napkins within reach. ... If it wasn't over napkins, he'd have found something else.

I don't think he got arrested over napkins. It's like all of those COPS episodes where they show up, and the drunk guy is so wound up that he ends up pushing their buttons too. Maybe he resists...

If you're not reporting your income, you've got all sorts of potential problems. Get with the IRS, tell them you need to pay back taxes for last year. If you're making $180k annually, you should be...

Re: My Dad: He is Pissing Me off
John, just read the 1st post. Haven't read others' comments.
First, you certainly have a right to expect more of your dad. Sounds like he's a bit of a jerk in that respect. Have you ever asked...

Re: Why The Dude Converted
Subfallen, The numbers I have always heard batted around were:
40% - Theists
40% - Athiests
20% - Agnostics
I'm curious where you got the 90% athiest figure?
