1. Well right to work states have lower unemployment. Union bosses like to point out that they have lower wages, but the y also have lower cost of living so it tends to balance out.
  2. There are many systems that can work well.
  3. For the record I intend to move to a RTW state.
  4. Since I figured nukes were being discussed, I thought this would spark some interest to everyone posting about it:

    A Quick Nuclear Weapons Pop Quiz
    As we make noises about attacking Iran because of its alleged nuclear weapons program, a pop quiz:

    1. How many countries that possess a nuclear weapon have ever used one against another country?

    2. How many countries that possess a nuclear weapon have ever used one against another country that possesses a nuclear weapon?

    3. How many “nuclear” countries that the United States has deemed “crazy” or “irrational” at some point or other of time have ever used one against another country?

    4. How many countries that possess a nuclear weapon have ever given them to a terrorist group?

    5. If — IF — Iran builds a nuclear weapon, how many will it have? How many will Israel have? How many will the United States have?

    If you don’t know the answer to all of these questions, please stop talking about Iran’snuclear threat.


    Also, for those interested, go to number 3:

    I know we aren't supposed to put links, but I'm moving to Wyoming!
  5. I know all those questions.

    And out of curiosity, why is a left-winger like you moving to a red state.
  6. Tension in Kosovo, Serbian villages, bordering to Serbia, want to take part in the Serbian elections.

    The guy who drawed the border must be having a great laugh, wouldve have been a lot easier if the Serbian villages weren't forced into Kosovo. If two sides of a border, dont acknowledge the border, something is wrong.

    Things wont calm down there for decades.
  7. Other hotspots may come and go, but The Balkans are here to stay.

  8. Partly correct. No problems here in Croatia anymore. Serbia/Kosovo is hotspot for sure, but there won't be any war, I'm sure of it. Bosnia is another hotspot, sadly.


  9. Glad to see someone here on the forum does

    It was more of a joke, I can't see myself ever living in Wisconsin. Although from time to time I would like to move out of Massachusetts, or at least to a different part.
  10. Holland is slightly ahead of Sarkozy for the moment.
