Actually, I think the problem isn't that the politicians have been dipping into it as a slush fund, but rather the assumption made many years ago by Eisenhower, that there would be an equil or greater number of young people paying into SS while the number of old people (who tend to die) would be an ever decreasing number.
this will be turned upside down when the baby boomers all retire at once. there will be MANY more people getting it, than people putting into it. also, with advances in medicne, people are living longer, and not taking themselves out of the equation by dieing.

True enough, but quite frankly, I'm not inclined to continue paying for Social Security if I never reap the benefits.  I respect my elders more than most, but it's simply not fair that they saved for their retirement, and we continue to pay for their retirement, but by the time my retirement rolls around, the amount I put into it won't matter and, most likely, no one will be paying for it anymore from the younger generation, either.

I think I should move to Canada... I truly feel ripped off in a bad way, before the fact, of course.

Now, I know my own personal smilie on these boards is a ways off, but I found something I can work on while I am on the journey to earning one.



Could this be made into a viable smilie?  Can it be used as the model for a smilie?  And does anyone have any advice on creating a smilie?  I'd like to do the work myself if at all possible.

Also, I might want to use my very own avatar for a smilie.  The Power Armor head.  That might work better than the G.E.C.K., but again, any advice on how to make it happen?

Thanks.

Well, mainly I wonder if the dear prez knows what the hell he is doing.

No, I have to admit being under the impression that he does not.
The alternative is malicious will, and I don't like to think that.

I guess you could. Gotta wait on Apoc or Ingo to answer though. They are the last word here

I don't want it NOW, Jester.  I want it after I get 1000 posts.

I want to CREATE it now.

And get a little help making it, because i really don't know much about it.  :)

No way, your smilie is chosen for you. Even Ingo didn't get to pick his own.

Hmmmm... I see.

Well, there are no pre-existing Fallout smilies, so it'd have to be made for me... which kind of irks me, but then I'm not even there yet, right?

On a side note, could we add a few more "regular" smilies, mayhap?  Perhaps a "laughing" smilie.  There's a bunch you can gank from other boards that are the same format as ours.

Just a thought.

I've been mulling this over today, and I hope no one is offended by my already thinking about having my own icon on the board.  I just like to have "sets" of things, like Fallout avatar, Fallout sig, Fallout pithy saying, Fallout custom title (soon), etcetera.  The icon is just another piece I eventually want for my little trinket collection.  I know it's a sort of informal status symbol here, so I want to let you know I am not trying to step on anyone's toes here.

Overall, this board is unique in the fact the FNGs aren't persecuted.  On no other private board have I been treated with such respect by the veterans.  So, I'm here to stay; thus, I am planning ahead for an icon.  (Even though I can't choose it myself, as I now know).  I'm not trying to take over, or anything.  ;D

Two more posts after this and I've got 501 posts.

So um, I'm padding for REAL for the first time.

I'll try to make it as interesting as possible.  :)

Paddin' Post #2

Lady Can Pop Out Own Eyeballs at Will

EDIT: So yes, now I will choose my 500-post title and PM it to Ingo Monk.  Unless I'm not allowed to choose my custom title, in which case, I'll be VERY sad.   :'(

Oh, and I believe I owe some Karma to Ruski... and I know I told someone else... I'll have to remember who.
