mainly America. which is true. money has a tendency of turning reasonably good people, into greedy, sneaky, backstabbing jerks. i often wonder what society would be like without an evil such money would be like....

i guess its human nature. people would be trying to steal your deer pelts, instead of your wallet.... what animals, we are.

I don't know how it is back there, behind the great water, but when I calculate all the taxes and social security payments it takes about 45% of my gross. I have to lie yearly filling out the IRS forms, otherwise there is nothing left.

My mate told German IRS is planning to introduce a new and simpler form, only 3 questions:

1. How much did you earn last year?
2. Where do you have the money?
3. When can we come to collect your money?

Thats a HUMAN trait not exclusive to AMERICA...

note the italicized "mainly" part.

i have never been out of country, so idk about the rest of the world. can some point me out to a place that isn't run by pepsi, american idol and the teen choice awards? i'd gladly move there... if it wasn't for the 17 complete cavity searches required by airlines

I did PM John:

I may have gotten an unworthy 'bad rep'.
The guys say to 'appeal'.
So, i appeal.
Here's a starting place:
Reputation and Badges

His reply:

Removed

So, it wasn't a 'big deal' after all, and didn't take much time overall.

I scraped the stuff off the bottom of my shoes, and I'm 'clean to go!'.

Thanks to all (who have a sense of humor) for support !!!
