I think one should be able to expect better behavior from family members than one can of relative strangers.

I think it is sad that this is often not the case.
 
I think we need to help out the people of New York and New Jersey that were devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Its worse than many people realize. With the cold weather approaching the suffering is going to be great- especially the kids.
A good list of charities that can make an immediate impact is here-

Think about if you were in their position and your world was crushed.

I think this is great!!! In my town alone there are 500 homes that are nonfit for habitation and must be torn down.
 
I think people need to remember what this place is and not get so wrapped up into it. If you allow an online erotic message board to control or help decide your mood for the day, then you need to take a step back and reevaluate your situation.

Literotica and the PG isn't life or death. Quit making it so.

I think those that are ignorant of their own actions because they are afraid of what they will see in themselves are the type of people who need the most help. I know who I am, do you?

I think those that relationship hop on here, then get hurt, then cry over it on here really need to shake themselves. While you are crying the majority of us are just shaking our heads thinking "what did you expect?"

I think the PG is an awesome place. Filled with all kinds of people. Not everyone is going to get a long, but every happy, slutty, shy, attention seeking, witty, whiner, whore, sassy, snarky, asshole, stone throwing, leader, follower, classy, self confident, type of person make up a place where 99% of us escape our daily hectic stressful lives for a few moments of relaxation, laughter, and innocent eye rolling. Don't allow the PG and some of the assholes on here ruin your day or stress you out. We all have enough hurt, worry, stress and other burdens in our lives. We sure as fuck don't need assholes and bitches hiding behind fake AVs and computer screens to make our daily lives and more stressful than it already is.

I think there are a lot of passive-aggressive posts on the PG today.

I think it's easy to pass judgement, but harder to actually give a shit about the person you might be judging.

I think most of the time, harder is better.



well mine was just a kinda friendly warning....so shut up!



:p
 
I think there are going to be a lot more franchise owners and small business owners laying off workers or having to implement hiring freezes... I can't blame them.:eek:
 
I think it might be time for another lit break. Go to the other site for a while. I think the cheering and applause from me saying that is helping confirm it. :)
 
if you do a little research instead of listening to the bobble heads offering up sound bites on Fox news..

Should Small Businesses Really Fear Obamacare?




The landmark health care case decided last week by the Supreme Court was a win for the Obama administration and a loss for the Republican Party. But the official plaintiff in the case wasn’t a Republican congressional leader or even one of the conservative attorneys general whose activism fueled the litigation. It was the National Federation of Independent Businesses, a small-business membership organization and lobbying group that strongly opposed the law.
So is defeat a disaster for small business? Almost certainly not, though it may prove to be a disaster for NFIB’s main policy priority of low taxes.
The bill in fact contains substantial benefits (some might even say giveaways) for small businesses. That starts with a program already under way to offer special subsidies to firms with fewer than 25 employees that want to offer health benefits. As long as your employees earn less than $50,000 on average (law firms, medical practices, and other elite professional partnership are thus ineligible), you can get a tax credit to defray 35 percent of the cost of the insurance if you’re a for-profit firm, and 25 percent if you’re a nonprofit. When the law really gets rolling in 2014, those subsidies rise to 50 percent for for-profits and 35 percent for nonprofits.

Firms with fewer than 50 employees are also exempt from the “employer responsibility” provision of the law that otherwise constitutes the biggest business burden in the legislation.The Affordable Care Act (in)famously requires that all individuals who don’t receive insurance from their employer or from a government program such as Medicare or Medicaid must buy their own insurance on a regulated exchange. Subsidies will be provided to those for whom such insurance wouldn’t be affordable. That could be seen as, in effect, penalizing firms that already offer insurance to their workers. To offset this, the law stipulates that companies whose employees receive subsidies to buy exchange plans must pay a financial penalty. That is supposed to deter firms from responding to the law by simply dropping existing insurance coverage. But the ACA doesn’t make small businesses pay that penalty.
Put the special subsidies and the exemption together, and the result is a law that’s pretty clearly a good deal for small businesses.
More broadly, the bill should encourage the formation of new smaller firms. Insurance is based on the concept of pooling risks. One reason most nonretired people get insurance through their employers is that a workplace constitutes a nice risk pool. It’s a whole bunch of people who are linked together by something that has little to do with their health status. This tendency is further reenforced by a generous tax subsidy to companies that pay their employees partially in the form of health insurance. But a newborn firm with just a handful of employees is not a good risk pool and will have trouble putting together a viable insurance plan if any of its workers are ill. That means only people with small health needs or large savings can afford to take the risk of entrepreneurship in America. The Affordable Care Act sets up large state-wide risk pools where anyone, regardless of health status, will be able to buy affordable coverage. That should be a boon to firm formation.
So what accounts for NFIB’s hostility to the ACA? The NFIB is an unusually ideological membership organization that generally hews to a small-government agenda rather than a small-business agenda.
NFIB, for example, doesn’t lobby against the online retailers’ exemption from sales taxes or any other issue where there is a tension between the anti-tax agenda and the small-business agenda. Instead, it’s very focused—like Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform or the Republican Party as a whole—on low taxes, especially on high-income individuals. Not coincidentally, it’s received large amounts of money from Karl Rove’s super PAC, which viewed it as a good face to put on the anti-Obamacare agenda. Thanks to the magic of self-selection, small firms whose owners are Democrats probably just don’t join, leaving behind an association of Republican businessmen who share the general Republican view that progressive taxes and generous social welfare spending are bad for the overall economy.
And make no mistake, the health care bill is, all things considered, the largest income-redistribution program enacted in decades. It collects taxes from the prosperous and offers new Medicaid benefits to the near poor and provides sliding-scale subsidies to a broad range of families earning below the median income. There’s plenty to like about that, but also plenty to dislike if you’re the sort of prosperous person who owns or manages a small or medium-sized firm. The debate about the broad economic consequences of higher and more progressive taxes has raged for decades and will keep doing so forever. But there’s no doubting the basic fact that people don’t like being asked to pay more. The Obama administration’s version of health insurance reform has asked the rich to do just that, and for most businessmen that reality will weigh heavily on their thinking about it. But viewed narrowly as a reform to the insurance market the law—and especially the controversial mandate used to enable people to get insurance without working for a large company—should serve small firms quite well.

Um...wow. I was actually speaking from first hand experience...every day at my job working with small businesses and their financial situations...taxes etc...

Thanks for assuming though.
 
Not trying to be dramatic. There are just times when I need to step away before I say something I will regret :). If not leave completely for a while, at least slow down a bit.

I think I can respect that and understand... sometimes you just need a break before you tell people how you really feel
 
I think right on! :kiss:

I think we all have faults, we're human and will make mistakes.

I think let's just have fun. :rose:
