One of my favorite scenes. Used Dr. Lexus' face as my avatar on work's IM as this is often the level I have to take my advice down to.

Reminds me of the time my brother was driving dad's Acura legend at 150+ mph and saw the police lights light up as he went under an overpass. He floored it, and lucky him passed another green car, I think it was a Lexus, pulled in front of it, slowed down to 70, and opened all his Windows. A few minutes later the cops caught up and pulled over the Lexus.

I think Republicans have a disconnect on the word "Build" when they talk about Building an Economy. You build from the ground up. You don't build an attic, then put up walls, then floors, and finish with a solid foundation. It starts with that solid foundation. In an economy like ours that rely on people spending, you need people to be able to spend. That means the people at the low end that do more spending than those on the top (per dollar earned anyhow), need to be the ones having disposable income. If they spend 100% or more of their income on living essentials, they can't spend to move the economy. When they finally do spend, then the retailer can hire more people (at least until automation starts taking over low end jobs, which is frighteningly soon), which means more people with income to spend, which feeds into the cycle. Eventually transportation starts picking up, which feeds more money into the economy. Eventually production has to keep up. By punishing those at the bottom, is shooting oneself in the foot. Half the people who work for Walmart qualify for food stamps, though Walmart makes enough to pay everyone a living wage, give them benefits, and still be profitable, but the people conservatives (Christians yet, who Jesus said to help the needy and the poor, and how the rich were going to hell) are mad at, are the poor people working there, rather than the rich owners/operators for not paying living wages. So conservatives seek to punish those workers by taking away something that allows them to spend money on things that actually move the economy forward. 3 people buying a $25k Chevy will do far more for the economy than that rich ass hole who just put $70lk on a Mercedes or Lexus. Their collection of TVs, video game systems and the like, do far more for the economy than that rich guy's super high def, ultra large screen TV. It's such a fucked up world in conservative land... I'm still at a loss how I used to be a part of it.

It gets to what @enoch was talking about above. There are some really good business owners, then there are the winny bitches who say they can't pay living wages... One of the jobs I worked at, complained in a letter to all of us that if Obama won (first time around) he'd have to fire over 350 people if he put his tax plans in place. Come that February, Obama isn't even in office yet, and he fires 350+ people. Then tells the rest of us that the company couldn't afford to give us raises... of course the company at the same time, went out and purchases a private jet for him, and then he purchased a second mansion in the local, Jack Nicklaus, signature golf course gated community... and he already owned the second largest mansion there. But oh, the conservatives are so support him over his employees, and think poorly of his employees for needing help living day to day, and praise him for his business acumen. The problem with conservatives is they LOVE greed. Love it. They worship it more than they do the Christ they say they serve. They just don't want their money going to help others, they give plenty at their church, they give time at the soup kitchen, but God forbid that their taxes help those working for the asshole business owners who chose greed over their employees. Pay your employees living wages, and no, you won't have it on easy street like Enoch's nephew, but I can guarantee you that his son is the far better human... and that's not to say the nephew doesn't give, he very well may, but he chose to take that money for himself than to pay his employees well. It doesn't matter if he gives tons of it away, it was ill gotten, how much could it have helped his employees had he let them keep more of their labor? Sadly, that nephew seems to be the vast majority of businesses in the US.

Very nice sounding engine. BUT in my opinion. The Lexus LFA sounds much better.

Nexus Lexus (dunno how it's spelt or written) was something i heard at university and it has to do with some sort of database of academic articles. So they will be from various journals, papers, magazines and similar publications but also research papers from universities and similar. Obviously those particular publications depend on the field in question. Nexus Lexus itself is a kind of learning and/or research tool for students and academics, it's the kind of thing your university set you up with an account for.

That's what I paid at Costco for a Snap-On (I went and looked at it, it's not the same) I was just making a half-assed attempt to discredit your line of reasoning since it seemed to be based on the existence of the pressure washer...

Which can be explained away:

1)He borrowed it.
2)He rented it.
3)He stole it from the guy who made the complaint to the police.
4)He bought it on Craigslist from the guy who stole it from the guy who made the complaint to the police.
5)It's cheaper than you think it is.
6)He's got lots of money, but his kid has to pay for his own damn car because there's no way the kid's getting his irresponsible, slacker, dopehead hands on dad's classic Camaro, his 20" lifted Sierra, AND ESPECIALLY NOT his mom's Lexus LS600h.

You may love science, but its little more than lip-service unless you actually take into account what science tells us before plunging into some spiritual nonsense about mother earth or whatever speaking to you when you're tripping.

I do not understand, or assume that anyone understand, all of our biological behaviors, nor exactly how they evolved. But that's my point about my car analogy: I don't know how a modern Lexus is made either, nor am I intimately familiar with the history/evolutions of car-designs in these last 100+ years or so. But, I can still confidently, perhaps arrogantly, claim that I'm pretty damn sure no magic was involved. Because that's not how car production works.

The same thing can be said for biological evolution, there was no involvement by a spiritual goddess that stepped in an made consciousness, that makes no sense, there's no evidence, and its likely to be nonsense for just so, so many reasons.
