Why does this issue sound familiar ... oh, right: same discussion over here, same problems, same "solutions", same people.

Now, I apologize in advance if I got some facts wrong. It's hard enough to keep track of things over here, I only losely follow the situation in the US every now and then out of curiosity.

Social security in the US is still running a vast surplus (projected at $70-$80 billion in 2010), so there's no immediate need to "fix" things. The fact that benefits exceed payrol tax income by some $41 billion is a warning sign that the economy is seriously in the shitter. Still, people use the current status to extrapolate the situation in years to come. One recent projection said that by 2037, social security won't be able to pay more than 75% of scheduled benefits. And as a solution, they suggest the increase of the entry age to 70 years - which is supposedly equal to a 15% cut, I haven't double-checked it.

So, in order to avoid a possible 25% cut based on flawed data (no changes to current situation), they suggest a 15% cut, just in case. The same logic they use over here. Wasn't social security "doomed" in 1982 before the Greenspan Commission secured its finances for some 50 years (aka 2030+)? So why the ruckus? Governments don't do shit until shit absolutely needs to be done - which in this case is still a decade or two away.

If they insist on better financing now, how about this: raise the fucking wage base. Or you might as well lift the bloody cap alltogether and lower the rate in return. $106,800 this year is a joke - just like the cap in our social security system.

yay, I swapped the embed Thanks!

Here is a danish report on the game.
First minute is about Germany scoring, the second minute has footage of the passing around. There is also an image of the rankings in that group, which explains why a narrow win was enough to advance for the germans and keep austria in the tournament.

Man, I'd love to see the highlight reel from that game! Or lowlight, I guess.

Just beautiful.

It's not a mockery of CSI. The dwarf was over in 1999, CSI premiered in October of 2000.

It's probably a mockery of Blade Runner (1982).

I'll be damned! Here comes your ghost agian!

Yes, always remeber...When Fox News reports 'news', to ALWAYS, ALWAYS, check with a more credible news source. When was the last time Fox News (aka GOP News), got something right, that DIDN'T promote the Republican party? I think back in 1982....

It's hip to hate on Japanese culture because the recent manga/anime/otaku/cosplay craze has peaked. It's just like KISS in 1982 - and Macs. (sorry for the obscure references to past threads. That's how I roll.)>> ^JesseoftheNorth:
I agree. Lighten up, people! I love you Japan. Don't ever change.>> ^kraun124:
I actually liked it. Not at all the comments I was expecting. Maybe she was just doing it for fun and/or she likes anime. Jaded-ism is getting a little cliche.




Since when was any of us saying anything bad about Japan? It's Kirstin Dunst and her god awful performance in this that's completely worthless.

Gee some people are touchy.
