Do Obama's tax increases on households earning over $250,000 comprise an enormous marriage penalty?

Say a couple is contemplating marriage. Each earns $125,000. A a sidenote, they are faaar from being "wealthy". The area in which they live has an incredibly high cost-of-living, as in the median-price home costs $500,000 and has 3 bedrooms, 1 and a half bathrooms, a 1 car garage and almost no yard. That is not the home of wealth. And they can't even afford that. They are young. They did not make loads of money in the 90s. They have student loans. Under Obama's plan, are these kids better off not getting married?

Does anyone know if Trailer Dan is real?

This guy always answers his phone when I call. His number has circulated among people I know. Everytime he answers he just yells profanities. We can't figure out if he's a real person, or if it is some sort of prank hotline. Has anyone ever heard of him.

Are realationships practical?

After watching the machine girl trailer me and my frind had an arguement over a 2 or 1 armed girl. My aregument was that she would appreciate you more for over looking her physical handicap and feel more of a sensual bond where as he says he would rather have a 2 armed girl for work and raising a family. Although the argument was merely personal perspective, do people often look for relation ships as a way to carries life's burdens of work rather than love?

Big Ben vs Palmer, Who is the AFC North's Best QB?

This is a tough contest as their strengths are completely different. Palmer is easily the better pocket per. He has a more accurate arm and makes better, faster decisions than Roethlisberger. Big Ben's unique strength is his legs. You'd be hard put to find a better scrambler. Ben reacts better to pressure outside of the pocket and he reads holes as well as many running backs. He also has the size advantage. Due to Palmer's pocket ability, though, he'll naturally have better ping statistics. I think each QB is the best fit for THEIR TEAM. I'd rather see Ben with the Steelers offense and Palmer with the Bengals offense than the other way around. But put with a generic offense, I'd take Palmer. He has more ability and he's a smarter player.

Would you consider a dwarf basketball league amusing or harshly exploitative?

Not exploitative at all. Everything in life is a choice. I demand my money back if they don't allow the spectators to play monkey in the middle with them for halftime entertainment, though.

Help in Julius Caesar..?

antony and brutus both are good orators. Antony is just more smart, emotional and he knows how to win the heart of people. when brutus adreses the crowd first he has the advantage of influencing them to his advantage he almost convinces the citizens that ceasar meant ill to the romans and he was not as good as they thought he was. he makes the people almost believe something in contrast to what they thought. In contrast to brutus's speech Antony firstly treats the romans as his friends. he reminds them what ceasar had done for them he reminds them that they loved him once upon a time, about the glory he had bought to the romans, how they had rejoiced his victory after every battle, about how he cried when the romans suffered. Antony tells them that they all loved him once upon a time and they loved him with a reason. this is the basic difference between the two of them brutus tries convincing them against their beliefs but antony just reminds and strengthens their beliefs
