Republicans: Forget the White House, IF.......

The Les Paul is a Gibson 'Classic'. As for the music, I think most people would call it RockBlues. It is all improvisation. At certain times there's a lot of classic rock-type stuff that comes to mind as I play. Some metal-sounding stuff, but not much. A lot of clean rhythmic stuff. I use a loop station to back myself, if you're familiar with that.

 

Over here we have Superannuation, which, to my knowledge, works in a similar way.

12% is deducted from my pay and paid into an account I can't access til' retirement. There is no benefit to this, in fact, it's easy to invest the money more profitably on your own (ie: if they did nothing), this is why we have self-managed super funds. It's not like the super comes from my employer, your wage is still capped by competition, it just takes away from what your wages would be under a liberal system.

Superannuation, then, becomes purely a way of taking the choice away from the individual. It just takes away personal responsibility, mostly because voters feel guilty not providing the elderly with some stolen Robin Hood style funds, but they don't want to have to pay for it. Of course, in reality there's no such thing as a free lunch, and they're sacrificing the individual's liberty for her health + security.

Sorry, I can't support that. Not in my values.

 

I meant that you again tried to tell me what I believe ... When you didn't even look up what I asked you to if you wanted to talk about that subject.
I then made the observation that since you didn't look it up ... Again tried to tell me what I thought ... It was probably a decent example of why you don't know what you are talking about.
It is easy enough for me to see where that is probably a problem that you experience in a broader spectrum of ideas ... And possibly why your particular ideas are always so damn wrong.

You may think it is cool to talk about having a gun ... You may think that you are prepared.
You may think that there is safety in numbers ... And that victory would only be steps away if armed insurrection is the necessary means by which your desires come to pass.
My suggestion in this case would be to look up (not one of your strong points) ... The definition of "cannon fodder".
I say this because in my observations of how you support and prepare your arguments ... And how well thought-out your ideas of the consequences are ... That's all you will ever amount to.

Lastly ... I implied that the last thing we need as a country ... Is wishy-washy spineless nut-jobs like you who cannot produce the results they desire on their own.
We don't need more people upset about the fact that they have been measured and found wanting ... And we don't need people who look to a corrupt government to fix problems they should be fixing themselves.

Hope That Cleared It Up For You ... And Good Luck In Your Endeavors

 

No I'm not familiar with that. Is that like a recording studio box ? I have one of those. It's an Audiobox USB and can record 64 tracks, and has 2 microphone inputs, but I haven't gotten through the software of it yet. Got to get the music store guy to walk me through it. Anyway, I've got 2 solid body electrics (an SG and an Ibanez Strat type) + a bass, and Ibanez acoustic electric, 2 other acoustic guitars, + a banjo, a mandolin and a fiddle. So many instruments, so little time. So you see why I might not want to talk to BlackSand anymore (she's back on ignore again-I can't see her posts)

And what I play along the RockBlues is what I used to play years ago in my old Rock band when we played in clubs. Some ones I still remember > Crossroads (Cream), Purple Haze (Hendrix), 19th Nervous Breakdown (Stones), Day Tripper, Paperback Writer, Norweigen Wood (Beatles), etc

Oh yeah, I've also got 2 Fender amps, a microphone, and even a bar light. Cool little thing. Shaped like a cone. Is black, but has lots of small colored lights that revolve around, and put the moving colors all over your walls.

 

Sounds like a 401K we have in the USA. Trouble with it is lots of people don't make enough money to put any thing into it. They try it for a while, and after having to withdraw it all out a could of times they realize Nope, this just doesn't fit. Another example of the higher paid people, having no idea how the lower paid people limp along in life. Fine thing, IF you can afford it.

 

I think what your asking for has already been posted further back in the thread (See Post # 139) with supporting source links.
