Ok, so I will go a little slower. This is what I said. Read it again.

The insinuation being that any major conflict pre-Korea was a valid threat on our freedoms. Anything post was not.
It changed so very, very much; many things that we always took for granted. It has already taken away some of our freedoms. The ripples are still rippling. It was the biggest act fof war, since Pearl Harbor.

Make sense?
Ok, i can admit to not reading your posts that closely, my bad. Your still wrong, but that was my mistake overlooking the exact wordage you used.

I know you like to assume I am poor, but I have made more than enough in smut over the last 6 years to avoid working for the next 20 years. And if things hold out, I'll never have a "normal" job.
That being said, what is my degree worth overseas?
This is something I never understand about people. I go to school and educate myself because I have a genuine love for the subject matter. This is not about getting a job. School is something I do because it is something I love. Some people are obsessed with cars and pussy, I am obsessed with sociological theory and history. I could very well just sit back on my ass and just become another fat rich uneducated American, I choose not to. I will probably spend the rest of my life in academia as a professional student.
where have I ever assumed anything about your finances???
you are making to many assumptions for sociologist
;-)))
ok, I'll bite...where your 20 years supply of dough is invested and how do you intend to protect it from inflation?

Enough?
Where is my money? We already had this discussion. I am only interested in tax deferment. I have a good bulk in municipal bonds. Dont have to pay taxes and earn a small amount of interest. I do not invest. It sits there or in savings account. I am a single guy with no wife and kids. I do not live big pimpin and have no desire to. I own my home free and clear, I have zero bills and zero debt. My money goes into school and travel.

real life has taught me that education of any value is NOT learned in school bro. School is for the paper, the paper is for the job. You can challenge yourself and learn a lot more by NOT going to school, and thats truth.
I worked for Honda of America Manufacturing in East Liberty oHIo, we have a problem that required an engineer to design and build a special lift for us. I was put in charge of making sure it would perform the job as required. I am NOT an engineer. Wen they showed me the prototype, I tested it, fiddled around with it and promptly told him (the engineer) that it MIGHT work, but it would be slow. At 53 cars per minute off the end of the line, speed was/is a major issue. He said "it can facilitate 1500 units per shift." I said something like he was fucking crazy, he said he could prove it, I said do it, and he showed me a fucking piece of paper
a piec e of fucking paper
this was his proof..................... Stupid fuck. I and an entire assembly line (the engine line) proved him wrong, he even actually tried it and damn near killed himself.
Experience teaches better than any book or professor.

I see the point you are trying to make, and it is applicable when it comes to engineering and mind numbing shit like that.
I am a sociologist with a background in anthropology. My subject matter is people. Everytime I leave the house I deal with my subject matter. Just simply "living" I tackle the subject matter. I travel and deal with different cultures. Anthropology, sociology, and archaeology all come into play. I cannot think any other way. A blessing and a curse.
I go to school and educate myself because I have a genuine love for the subject matter.
then how can this be true?

I am not sure I follow.
I am not done, a phd is the goal, but it is not the end for me. After sociology I would like to move onto history and religious studies. I minored in both but there is still a lot in both I need to learn. And when I say "need", I mean "NEED".
Many congrats, Serge! America.....what a country..

Dont know, economics and investing bore the shit out of me. I just leave it up to the ABNAmro guy. He says "how much risk you willing to take", I say absolutely none and he tells me what to do.
Norway. Like I said, I dont live big pimpin like you. My tastes are simple. Very simple.
ABNAmro is on the verge of bancrupcy..I'd take his advice with agrain of salt.
As for my living "big pimpin".....oh my,
I never knew I did

I'm not rushing the lawyers, Serge....got two of them arguing back and forth on what should be done...and your in-house one can add to that..

Labret, which country you are planning to go to?
Well... if I can grow a spine and scrape up some pennies, I am planning on starting off in Ireland. Then working my way east and south through your neck of the woods, ending up eventually (and Serge will love this one) in Israel. I need to witness the cancer from the inside.
