But what if the purpose needs intensive care? Kinda like leaving my locker insecure. I don't want to hurt its feelings, you know?

[AmishDude]

But what if the purpose needs intensive care?

...or the porpoise...

[weikel]

Why you don't agree the wealthy are leaving that the IRS can take all your assets etc?

[AmishDude]

Well, it's just another road for you to hoe.

[Cacophonous]

Hey I happen to like my 'hos in a row...

O...K... By this post I am wondering if you are mocking bad spelling and grammar or are using them.

"Harken Energy Corp. set up an offshore subsidiary in the Cayman Islands tax haven while President Bush sat on Harken's board of directors in 1989, the Daily News has learned. The revelation comes as Republican lawmakers are roundly criticizing the practice of U.S. companies setting up offshore subsidiaries..."

Not that facts matter to people like you, but Republican lawmakers have been criticizing companies who move their own headquarters offshore "officially", not merely setting up offshore subsidiaries.

The difference is that a subsidiary can never generate more gross revenues than its parent company, but the parent company will usually dwarf the revenues of the subsidiary.

In other words, the subsidiary is usually a very small piece of the business rather than the whole company, so incorporating a subsidiary offshore is not nearly the big deal that moving the parent corp's headquarters offshore would be.

But don't let facts get in your way...

Yeah! Because NOBODY on FR EVER uses derisive spelling of names! ;)

[DallasMike]

(as you know, the above phrase is meaningless; the proper phrase is ...for all intents and purposes...)

Wrong. It's "for all in tents and porpoises" and refers back to each March 15th when ancient Greeks would wait by the sea shore in tents hoping that the spirits of departed loved ones would return to them in the form of porpoises. If the Greeks didn't see any porpoises, they were idle; hence the Romans later called the day the "Ides of March."

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

[weikel]

I was using bad grammar. Sorry. I don't think I misspelled anything.

[Cacophonous]

LOL...I stand corrected...

[rdb3]

Hey I happen to like my 'hos in a row...

As opposed to on the street? How do you make your money then, playa?

[AmishDude]

You're right. No bad spelling in #49.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Dang! I wanted to read the post #1. Jezzz that sucks..

[rdb3]

Believe you me, you didn't miss anything.

[weikel]

So BTW you don't agree about the taxpatriate issue on Action-America's site( or the other stuff he says its all very logical)?

[Notforprophet]

Hey, I call a Rat a "Rat" as quickly as anyone. But shouldn't we respect the office, regardless of whether we respect the man? And believe me, on FR he'd get a lot more serious responses if he just said "Dubya", or "GWB", or "43", or even "George W. Bush".

You won't catch me typing "Klintoon" or "Hitlery". Regardless what my opinion of the impeached, disgraced, ex-president is I at least spell his name correctly.

This isn't DU, by the way.
