The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

stuff is just stuff. your emotional health is much more important. holding raging anger in is more harmful than your faggot-assed tv that probably deserves to get its ass beat anyway.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Brewtality @ May 22 2008, 09:36 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div>You know what, responses like this are retarded. Americans are driving a 3rd of the vehicles in the world. Our country doesn't have a mass transit system as successful as europe's/china's/whatever, and we don't really have buses in a lot of cities still. It's simply unfeasible to tell the average american to take the bus to work. It takes 120$ to fill up my dad's truck and he has to fill it up regularly going to and from work so he spends upwards of 600$ on gas in a month. He has to drive a truck to pick up large parts, and he's not compensated for any of it.It's $12 a gallon in the UK.

Cost of milk went up by 10p in a day, things like croissants have doubled in price over the past 2 weeks.i was talking to animal control yesterday about the failing economy and how people are starting to give up their pets so they can afford to eat/ drive their trucks.[/b]
Anyway, from what i hear UK's economy isnt going so hot at the moment. That, or Tesco has just put its world domination plans in action.
In the past year with the increase in living costs has anyone had an increase in wages???

Maybe if you invested in a public transport system then you'd have one. Unless that idea is simply too socialist for some of you people to stomach.
Problem: no decent public transport
Solution: invest in public transport

It sure must be easy to build a public transit system in a country that is "slightly smaller than Oregon"
Teh colors of SB.
Speaking of Oregon, Portland has a kick ass public transportation system. One of the best in the world from what I understand. Gas prices are still hitting them hard too.

anyway, this is all unfortunate and stuff, but it's why kids should get a good education and work hard. if you have a good job and lots of money, you can handle it when this kind of stuff happens. in australia, housing prices are insane and so many people of my generation are having a good wah because they will never be able to buy a house. i don't get it. work harder, get a better job, take on another job, stop partying, stop buying clothes, move back in with your parents or to the outer subrubs. it's not tricky.

"Greedy companies", I just love that notion, companies usually want money, they aren't going to cut out their profits unless they absolutely have to, calling them greedy is stupid.
