What is this crap about lazy Americans? The truth is that Americans work longer hours than Europeans and America has much less of a social welfare system so a person who doesn't work lives lot better in (Western) Europe than they do here. (That is, unless they have already earned, inherited, stolen, found, whatever enough money).

Don't take this all as bragging or anything like that. The truth is that American productivity per hour is much lower than that of Western Europe because people work too long and in the end total productivity isn't much higher for all those extra hours worked. Part of the reason for this situation is that there is no national healthcare system, so companies prefer to have people work longer, rather than hiring more people. All of this excess time at the workplace also gives less time to make yourself informed about current events and so on or for parents to spend with their children, not to mention greatly reducing leisure time for everyone.

Others just kept up the joke. Lighten up. You're obviously over worked.

Depends on the server, I guess. In my case, a .com is the same price as a .org.

However, zdoom.org should stay as it is. Most people already know this site as http://www.zdoom.org.

I can definitely feel it, and to make matters worse I have to be at work for 8 1/2 hours a day and I don't get paid for lunch. Taking everyone for all that they're worth is the American way.

Anyway, I get here by using the down arrow on the right side of the address bar. There really is nothing like a quick and working link to this website. It's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

@Ace: Shorcut link buttons rule. Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

And why the devil would Randy bother paying for a crappy .com address anyway? I've always liked .org better because it makes it sound less sleazy. What... why are you all staring at me like that?

Wait a sec. 95% say No, 4% say Yes. Where's the other 1%?

Rounding error.

Or maybe political upheaval is at hand.

The other 1% was stolen by midgets, or George Bush.
You choose.

Wills · Post by **Wills** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:02 pm

George Bush. And he's reading this conversation too.

I better lock all the doors and windows. He's going to search my house for weapons of mass destruction.

Well, we pay a hell of alot less taxes, that must compensate for something.

People in a country in the Middle East - I forget the name - pay zero taxes because they make so much money off of oil.

Uh, doesn't more money mean more taxes? Isn't trying to make so much money you don't pay taxes a futile effort?

Or do oil people get tax breaks in the middle east?
