The one who doesn't need Atlasia because he's actually a state assemblyman.

I've heard of this poster before. Who is he?

SECRETARY OF STATE BREWER?

Ramsey has some strange ideas, like advising people to pay off their smallest debt first, regardless of interest rate. WTF? You have to take every mathematical advantage possible to get ahead today.

I've heard him say that he recommends it because it makes it psychologically easier to stay on track paying off debt. Personally I say just suck it up and keep the debt repayments automatic.

Whether or not your payments are automatic isn't the issue. If you have more than one revolving debt with interest, like a credit card, car payment, mortgage, etc, you have to decide, how much additional money to send each one after the minimum payment. Mathematically, you only want to pay the minimum to all creditors except the one with the highest rate, and you want to send them every penny you've marked for debt reduction. It's just basic math. He wants people to pay the smallest debt first because they will feel good and stick to the plan once it's paid off. It's not mathematically sound. Unless you just enjoy paying extra money in interest.

People are not a math formula.

Congrats. In one sentence, you've debunked the entire dismal science of economics.

He doesn't take well to criticism does he?

I'm pretty sure the image is okay though, since the nipples are covered, right?

It was a close one, but it passed my standard.  (Then again... the board is currently in a state of anarchy... although I'd probably break my pledge if someone posted nudity.  That was a bit of an oversight on my part... and I think at least 99% of the forum would excuse my intervention for deleting porn.)

I fear you vastly overestimate your popularity, Inks.

I'll put that to the test!:

Newest suggestion in the Mod Cave's discussion on how to get in touch with our absentee administrator:

There's a link on every poster's profile page called "report to admin".  If you report someone, does that email go to Dave?  What do you think about reporting Dave's own profile to admin, saying "This poster will not respond to PMs or emails about important forum business"?

Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City

1. Will Rogers died in a plane crash.
2. This airport is the only one to have 'World' in its name rather than the more customary 'International'.
3. You cannot fly to any international destinations from this World Airport.

i think that requires a very careful analysis of some of nixon's other policies. probably more so than i am capable of offering quite honestly. but i will try anyway. please forgive the very brief summary:

- he enacted his secret plan to end the vietnam war and showed how ahead of his time he was by adopting a surge strategy. that the us only saw 15,000 american and 500,000 vietnamese deaths following this decision speaks to his foresight and clear-eyed realism. president obama should take note. perhaps reinstate the draft for good measure as some civic minded progressives have suggested.
- he launched a humanitarian intervention in cambodia to stop it from falling to the communists. i think since vietnam and cambodia both fell to the communists we can conclude he was right about the domino theory.
- he tried to convince our friends the chinese to intervene in india and pakistan. it is too bad that they did not heed his wise advice, otherwise the us would likely not have as many people hurt by outsourcing today.
- he tried to reduce poverty in the black community by promoting humane birth control measures like sterilization (without paternalistic things like 'informed consent' laws) and abortion (which was of course, acceptable for blacks in his opinion). he also enacted policies that would give millions of young minorities guaranteed access to clothing, healthcare, food and free room and board.
- he passed landmark health reform legislation, creating the system of hmos that so many millions of americans enjoy today.
- he helped enact policies that put a stop to the horrific economic stagnation caused by unions after ww2. undoubtedly helped contribute to present day record corporate profits.
- he campaigned against excessive regulation, then wisely changed course and proposed dozens of new regulatory agencies, then attempted to veto them after a thorough cost-benefit analysis. today agencies like the epa are staffed full of pro-business individuals, with years of valuable experience working in business and government.
- he enacted price controls that were obviously very beneficial to the economy. grocery stores could barely keep up with new demand!
- he took the bold step of declaring a war on drugs, which has thus far cost approximately $1 trillion dollars.. this to me sounds like a small price to pay given all the lives touched by nixon. it really speaks to the successes of our post-1970s drug policy so many former drug users have not only quit, but even become president themselves.

so overall, like many historians looking at nixon's many accomplishments i would have to say that he was 'near great.' if only he had done more before being taken down by a disturbingly un-civil and un-neutral media. who knows what legislation nixon and his team of policy wonks could have given us.
