bonus question: also what is a work day? like when companies say you'll recive you pakage in 4 work days how many days is that really?

bonus question 2: what do you think is the best phone on the market right now?

Question #5:

Is anybody else offended that Conservatives are using Martin Luther King, Jr to make their case?

Martin Luther King is now being used as a marketing tool for the right. This should be OK if it were used to promote equality and fairness but thats not what they are doing.

They are using it to combat all the affirmative action principals that make things fair. Using MLK to get rid of the neccessary favors that level the playing field is against the very principals of equality and fairness.

This is why the party of the tea is hiding its racism under Martin Luther King. Just like the Nazi's and the Germanic tribes of racial purity.

Question #6:

What is your opinion on returning to college at the age of 45?

I recently returned to school, and I have found myself contemplating my age and my decision? By the time I finish I will be very close to 50, so with the job market already in the trash, am I waisting my time? I did choose a field of study the has a high growth outlook. My issue is simply, there are many young people following the same path, and they will be better employment material than a near fifty applicant.

Question #7:

Is this really a buyer's marker?

I have a question and am simply looking for advice. My wife and I are in the market for a house, and have been pre-approved with a VA home loan. We are looking in the Havertown,PA area to start off and we think we have a decent property picked out. Initially, the house was on the market for about 245K and has been on the market for over 100 days. The house is now listed at 235K. Considering I would also like the seller to contribute half of the closing costs in a seller's assist (about 5700) our initial offer is 225,750 (this includes the seller's assist as well.) We don't have any property to sell and can move in at the drop of a dime. Is this initial offer a reasonable first offer? Everyone keeps saying that this is a buyer's market, but I believe some of the people that we have talked to (realtors) want to offer the seller's asking price with minimal negotiation. This doesn't seem like a "buyer's" market to me!! Any advice would be awesome!!!

Question #8:

Republicans, do you remember these things from George Walker Bush's presidency?

I know you are dying for those great Republican leaders to return to office, but hop on my magical carpet ride and let's revisit the days of President George Walker Bush:

--Fraudulent, needless invasion of Iraq off cooked intelligence
--hijacking of the surplus Clinton left him
--Medicare reformed that fattened the pockets of Big Pharma (and drained our Treasury of billions)
--Silly idea about reforming Social Security (hilarious how the markets collapsed right after his tour)
--complete collapse of the global economy
--car companies going bankrupt
--insurance companies going bankrupt
--banks going bankrupt
--airlines going bankrupt
--torture
--military procedures ruled unconstitutional by Supreme Court
--unfunded occupation in Afghanistan (because he was too busy looking for those fairy tale nukes in Iraq)
--lied to America about the purpose of TARP (his 700 billion dollar bailout program)

Need I say more?

Question #10:

How can I test market my products effectively?

I'm doing a fashion jewellery business at market stalls and online. I've researched many of my competitors and I tried to do a SWOT analysis of their company and failed a little.

For example, three companies sold a similar type of glass jewellery to mine at £12.00. I did my questionnaire and many said they would pay £12 - £15 for my glass jewellery, how can my price be competitive if I sell at the same price as this competitor? If I sell at £10 for the glass jewellery would I be losing profit? If I sell at £15 would they buy it? I sold some glass jewellery on the market, most of customers did not want to pay £15. Some offer free delivery to purchases up to £20 online, some offer 2 for 1 specials. How can I be different to that? I can't seem to find what I'm doing that's better than them

Question #11:

What are the dirtiest songs that were somehow marketed towards children?



Question #12:

Do you think religious people would believe what I have to say?

We didn't come from apes, we are apes and extremely leathals ones too.

Here is an axiom or paradigm for you:

As cave men did we struggle to even contemplate our existence as we looked to the stars barely literate and utter the word Goh! Goh! which became GOD. Oh it must be GOD!
Primitively evolved ego blames god and the devil and puts everything in little boxes in the mind in order to recognize and relate to them. This weakness exploited by others for purposes of social division, avarice greed and power over others as we beat our chests in satisfaction.
The hunt was successful today!

as a starting point for deducing and inferring other (theory dependent) truths. The key aspect of our humanity seems to be our morals and beliefs.
The ability to change, adapt, and create the ability to carry out a coherent logical conclusion. This is one factor that allows us to change ourselves and adapt to a changing world.
To construct and stabilize our morals we must begin with some principles held as axioms and logically derive from those axioms conclusions which become our morals.
Our ability to radically change ourselves and our original axiomatic belief system accounts for the other half of our ability to change, adapt, and create.
We have advanced so far in terms of knowledge, society, and technology. Yet there is still so much more to create and discover. What will propel us is ultimately our humanity. And we have seen that stability and change make us human. In this yin-yang sort of duality, these two aspects of our nature–the desire for tradition and stability and the excitement brought on by radical revolution–synergistically combine to form what we call humanity and human nature. We have discovered our secret weapon: two conflicting yet supporting principles that guide our ever-shifting path into the future.
In terms of God I think it's very interesting that creationism, (a consequence of the evolving ego) has produced a mental mechanism that can often forgive us for what ever we do, and also creates a solution to what we can't explain.

In my opinion we are a very counter productive and self destructive species which still struggles to break the mold of mindless facile and frivolous cultural perpetuation as a result of many given leader types or peerage consumed with avarice, falsely empowering ones self and self preservation. This behavior and moral standards learned and then perpetuated pervasively throughout any given culture.
E.G. exploitation of the weak or primitively evolved ego, the sinister inciting of coups and the best products that can possibly benefit man kind are not brought to market because the don't make enough profit.
Wealth is power and can influence government policy, the cultural foundations of which will typically be built upon the exploitation of others as one capitulates to avarice thoughts and feelings ultimately aspiring to self preserve and acquire power. These standards are set thus learned and perpetuated down through the hierarchical ranks of any given culture. Rotten peerage = rotten culture.

No one asks to be born here and no one asks to leave.

"Cogito, ergo sum" (Usually translated in English as: "I think, therefore I am"

Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." - Albert Einstein, "Religion and Science", New York Times Magazine, November 9, 1930

Man creates god in his own insane image. He needs someone to forgive him for the terrible treacherous deeds he he has to commit as he strive to succeed at the demise of the next man.

Question #13:

How can I use jealousy in a positive way?

I have just started a job and I was happy after 11 months of unemployment. My problem now is the following: in my team, I work with a female Project Manger who is 2 yrs younger than me. I have questioned her about her career path because our HR dpt asked us to complete an online Employee Development Plan. She told me that she started at a low level then progressed smoothly: Customer Service, Reception, Marketing Assistant,..., Project Lead and now Project Manager. She is been working there for...14 yrs. She is a good looking person, chic, approachable, controls her image and knowledgeable about the company. People respect her. She married last year to another manager in the same company and she is expecting a child. She has plans to buy a house abroad for holidays. She earns £50k a year, she nicely told me. She replaces the Director when he is absent. I feel that she found the right company or maybe she is the perfect employee! She has never been unemployment!.
Well she looks like the person I have always wanted to be, but it is too late!. I have been struggling professionally all my life, making the wrong choices or being out of work. I also have a strong personality and a...temper! I like this woman but I cannot stop feeling jealous...every day and I feel sad!. I don't know what I will become in 14 yrs! In all my previous companies, I have never felt I will last. I have worked as Project Manager before...for 12 months!. How can I use this jealousy in a positive way? Is it possible now to be like her. I will have kids at the age of 50, no problem! LOL Never been jealous before.

Question #14:

Do you agree that Thomas Jefferson was the most conservative president?

One of the strongest proponents of free-market capitalism, the most active president for states rights, perhaps the greatest influence of individualism over collectivism of any president, enforced bibles and hymnals to be taught and used in public schools, founded the major military academy, West Point, strongly against big government, including major welfare and govt economic interventions, against the "Fed" and national banking.

If you have disagreements with any that is stated than please specify.

Question #15:

I don't have a concrete idea of what I'd like to do after I graduate university?

Barring any major setbacks, I graduate next year with a Honors BA in Economics. Note: This 'honors' does not hold the same significance as honors in the United States; I'm from Canada. I was initially leaning towards law school and pursuing a JD, however, considering the grim outlook of the legal market and the financial debt associated with law school, this route may not prove to be ideal. My back up plan was to enroll in MA program with a concentration in Economics. Or possibly a MFin program. All three routes require the LSAT, GRE, and GMAT respectively. Would I be out of my mind to take all three tests just to keep my options open?

Question #16:

Who really won the 2008 presidential election?

Think about this:

In 20 years from now, Palin will be wealthy as all hades thanks to losing the 2008 election as the VP and becoming a tabloid star / guest speaker.

McCain will probably be dead and will be remembered as a long-term senator who had a relatively decent record (I don't think that he has been great but there has been a million that have been worse).

Joe Biden will probably be known as just another goofy/idiotic VP instead of a long-term senator that would've croaked in office.

B. Hussein Obama entered the office in a recession that will be prolonged for years due to terrible polices / not letting the market fix itself. He will be a laughing stock for the rest of his life and he realistically won't be able to make too many public appearances for a very long time, due to his unpopularity.

So with this being said, who really won the 2008 presidential election?

Question #17:

Why aren't there any barcode scanning apps in android market that do not read your personal info?

They all read your contacts and other personal info, why is that? if there is one that doesn't read personal info, what is it's name?

by the way too many apps read contacts and other personal info, i hate that so much. for apps that manipulate your personal info it makes sense, but apps that so simple things like drawing or scanning or calculators they don't need that access. am i right?

Question #18:

Will the Economy Come Back in Your Working Lifetime?

Let's say back to 2005 levels.

Your working lifetime.

You means you.

Working lifetime means from now until you retire.

So to clarify -- the question is will the economy get back to 2005 levels at any time between now and when you retire.

Retire means stop working at your regular job.

Job means what they pay you do do.

This is actually a "Yes" or "No" question, so pick one of those words to begin your answer. Then elaborate as you see fit.

Please hold off on things you just learned in Econ 101. I taught Econ 404 to MBA candidates, so I know about the theory of the free market, and have known for about 40 years, since I read Adam Smith, and David Ricardo.

But well reasoned opinions by people who are qualified to have opinions on this topic are most warmly welcome. All insights gratefully received, and if I grok them, acknowledged too.
To jerry w:

In support of a "no" answer one might consider George Soros' little book on this recession. He makes a very strong case for the non-cyclicality of economic events. He says they are more like history. Things happen once, not over and over always the same cycle.

There's also some work by mathematicians to suggest that "Black Swan" events are actually fairly common. We don't notice their frequency because each one takes a different form, so they don't fall in a neat class.

My own view is that after WWII there was a group called the Baby Boomers who were born. They were rich, acquisitive, and spoiled. They demanded everything -- right now -- right here!

That group is a non-repeating event. And they are retiring. Getting rid of stuff. Not getting more stuff. Giving it away, selling it on Ebay, tossing it.

This is called a downdraft in aggregate demand. It will pick up again in 20, 30, or 40 years, probably not in your working lifetime.

The correct answer is no

Question #19:

Should I deposit this check?

I got a check in the mail for $1277.43. It just screams fraud, but at the same time it is tempting. A letter came with it from Direct Opinions Marketing and Surveys. The letter says that it is payment for being a customer service evaluater and that you just have to deposit the check and then make a payment at Western Union. Then, you have to be a mystery shopper at Best Buy, Walmart, Macy's, JC Penney, Sears, or K-Mart. I'm sure is just a scam, but has anybody else seen this? It looks so legit that it is scary. How do they get money from my if I deposit the check?
