Because in the final annalise it is up to choice and not giving into temptation. How strong one is and remains from a mental and physical standpoint determines which course to take and right or wrong decisions to be made along life's journey. easy-lift guy

Hamadryad,don't worry about it to much when the poo hits the fan and it will in our life times them folks with no manners and poor behaviour will be so much Cannon fodder and be swept away. Just want to make sure your protected and don't get caught in the out going tide:thumbup1: easy-lift guy

Neat, thanks for sharing. easy-lift guy

Regrettably, I believe you will not have to wait much longer to get an answer to your question. Once the government get's out of the business of business the faster nearly all economiies will truly start to recover. easy-lift guy

Andy your spot on!, the government should be responsible for two things only, Basic services and protecting the country from abroad and within. Anything else is a complete waste. I bet you already know my feelings about the Unions as well:thumbdown: easy-lift guy

Sorry Lee, your wrong. The killings you are referring to in Newtown just north of Sarasota, FL. USA. Is known for its killings and very bad crime. Your race has nothing to do with weather or not you will be killed, it is only when and how:thumbdown:, I choose to be this blunt since I consider this area a no go area and if any members of AT ever make your way over for a visit to the Sunshine State let me know, I will make sure you will know the no go areas in advance, like a good neighbor, I will be there:thumbup1: easy-lift guy

Mark the fashion statements you are noticing are like uniforms, many different examples over here all are no good and one needs to stay far away from these folks since you never know if they are packing or not:thumbdown: easy-lift guy

Very interesting thread Dean, the present generation has no concept of the past and even less knowledge or common sence. The it's all about me and nothing else matters generations have been destroying this country from within since the 60's forward. I have seen and lived thru these social malcontents over the years and in many cases they are products of their environment. In most cases that has been very bad:thumbdown:. FYI, I live about 45 min's South of where your Two British citizens were killed by the punk that had just been released from jail less than 24 hours earlier only to kill these Two young men in cold blood. Yes they were in a very bad area of town, I know since I drive through this area twice a week every week. The person that killed these two men was just found guilty but because of his age will get to spend the rest of his life in prison. Of course I believe this form of punishment for the crime committed is a total waste across the board, no consolation for the families of the murdered victims. easy-lift guy

Not true, yellow cake was found and can be used as a WMD the balance went into neighboring countrys like Syria. Other African nations at one time were controled by other European nations much like the UK and common wealth nations. As in the past when requested countries like Belgium has sent forces into the Congo and other former colonies. This would include France as well. Sad to say some African nations are doomed to fight one another as long as they can since it is what was done before other colonial powers came to incorporate them, only to grant them independence, With great power comes great responsiblity, Ben Parker. easy-lift guy

Better for me, sales are up over 100% same time sales from last year, looking to expand into Austraila soon as well, that should prove intresting, profitable. easy-lift guy

The US Mission ended the Day the person in the whitehouse announced when US force would start to deploy out of the country. No Military leader would ever show their cards in advanced unless the plan was to have the country return back to the Taliban. Present military leadership from the top down with the Afghanistan Military is very infiltrated with Taliban,others waiting for US Pull out, NATO forces are more or less sitting ducks ATM. The CNC of this country has been so anti Military that it makes me sick at best and at worse I choose not to say, not here anyway! God bless all of our troops and our allies. easy-lift guy

My product although made in the USA was required to have the CE marking in order to be sold in the UK. I believe this applies to most if not all other countries that are a part of the EU. easy-lift guy

I believe your country has Two choices for the future from an economic stand point. Start to slowly reduce the dependencies of the population while at the same time reduce the tax burden upon business as well as the tax paying public. This will stimulate the private sector to start reinvesting back into their businesses and spur new hiring. The new hiring will encourage new spending which even at a lower tax rate will bring in more funds for the government to. work with, not to waste but to spend according to a budget. Any surpluses should be carried over to the next fiscal year and only used in the event of a National emergency or time of war. The regressive VAT for the UK should be phased out over time completely to further expand and help with the growth of the economy as a whole. That is the first choice, the Second choice is more of what your government has provided at a very high cost to every citizen. With an ever increasing debt to revenue ratio due to a never decreasing social welfare system, future generations will be cursed with more of the same with far less in return. No, I am not an economist but I do wish the best for my fellow members and their own personnel economy and future success in all endeavors easy-lift guy

Paying more in taxes is exactly what the government wants you to do and in turn this will do nothing for manufacturing. The Private sector can only create jobs by being taxed less so more Capital can be reinvested into the economy by hiring more and creating more and selling more. The government should provide basic services and provide for the national defense. Anything else the government involves it's self with is a complete waste of your taxes. easy-lift guy

Just as sad as it is true:thumbdown: easy-lift guy

This information is just one more example of how the stats for calculating all means of production for the US Economy have been revised on average 7 to 10 days after official announcements are made. Like I have said before November will not come soon enough for most Americans. This nightmare of an administration I hope will soon be ending along with most of the trappings in the process. God save the Republic. easy-lift guy

I disagree if taxes are slashed at the pump the Government would have to get it from some where else. At least since I can recall every time taxes are reduced in this country, revenue has ALWAYS gone up. of course that is working with a budget and not being greedy with all that new revenue from all the additional spending that occured from lower taxes. I believe it is a matter of doing with less from the government level down. It seems to me that if the government is not held to the same standards as everyone else, esp when it comes to having a budget and sticking with it than the same results will be achieved for ever. If the VAT Tax could be cut it would cause a rapid expansion of new consumer spending the likes of which your country has not seen in generations, of course that would also mean a cut back of Governemnt services that many in the UK think is included as part of being a citizen or not of the UK. If reductions took place there would be far more to go around and I believe the economy would do much better in the short/long term. My 2 cents worth from the other side of the pond. easy-lift guy

A wise decision:thumbup1: easy-lift guy

Perhaps an idea who's time has come and than some, State side we have Black books of such folks, don't want to end up there. easy-lift guy

I can not vouch for prices of oil/fuel products in the UK, however I can say that 2 times since I have been able to vote. I have seen Oil prices drop and finished products also decline in turn, as well as inflation and the cost of goods in general delcine here in the USA. In both cases the powers to be were not the same as the current powers in office in the USA. At least for myself it does make a difference who is in office and leading the country. easy-lift guy
