Red F

...completely cashless, no banknotes or coins.

If I started a business that specifically focused on the niche market of selling photographs of gold coins and bars, could I write the gold bullion I'd have to buy to photo as a tax write off for this business?

Not interested in "You'll definitely throw up a red flag with that" because that's the point here. What I'm interested in knowing is if I could legally pull this off.

1. Protection

2. Hunting

3. Entertainment (fun to shoot)

4. Planned Violence (rare)

Others?

I find that an usually high number of women dislike the word "moist" for some reason.

I want to avoid using these words in my writing. What are some others that bother you?

As I understand, feminism seeks gender equality by focusing specifically on women s issues.

That would mean in terms of something like gender equality in the workplace, feminism might call for legislation to force hiring quotas on employers.

Would feminism also call for legislation to force a quota on the number of women that must hold political offices?

If so, would this not undermine the fabric of democracy?

Example: During the 1935 Gold Clause Cases the Supreme Court ruled Congress has power expressly to prohibit and invalidate contracts, although previously made and valid when made, when they interfere with carrying out any monetary policy Congress is free to adopt.

These "contracts" the ruling refers to are the gold certificates still held by the Federal Reserve today. My question is how long will that 1935 Supreme Court ruling be relevant as the exact contracts ruled on are still in existence?

If the citizen's arrest is not legitimate, then it would seem to me that the arrestor is guilty of battery. Am I wrong on this?

Based on everything you know right now, which could you cite more facts about?

I'm 38. And every year I get older I find myself less and less trusting of people. And by that I generally mean, I'm expecting more and more people to try to take advantage of me in one way or another, i.e. through lying or any other kind of deception.

Is this something everyone experiences as they get older?

Perhaps people really have become more self-serving? I mean, that's what it feels like to me. But I've been wrong in the past, and will be wrong again in the future.

Thoughts?

I don't treat people politely because I'm not treated politely by other people on a daily...no, an hourly....basis. Does that make me a jerk? Do people think that I should be the one to make the first polite move? If people were more polite to me, I would absolutely be more polite to them. But most people are all self-serving. Why be polite? MOREOVER, how do I know that a stranger isn't my enemy? How do I know that if I'm polite or help a stranger in anyway, that they won't turn around to use that help to hurt me? Human beings have set a hundred thousand year precedent for being self-serving. Why do people expect me specifically to go out of my way to help anyone else when everyone else is only focused on themselves.

Dear World,

When you respect my perspective, I'll respect yours.

August 5th is MSG Roy Benavidez's birthday.

Is it fair to say that nearly all commercial music uses some sort of digital synthesizer in production?

Can someone point out a specific year without a bunch of BS?

In the Disney/Pixar film Inside Out, the character Disgust is said to "prevent Riley from getting poisoned — both physically and socially."

What do you think is meant by 'social poisoning'?

Has anyone interpreted this social poisoning as alternative lifestyles or political/social views that don't conform to the status quo majority?

What do you think Disney really trying to say with this character?

Many depictions of Jesus on the cross show him with shaved armpits. What s up with that?
