0 Guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yeah, I read that about the penny the other day. Read something about not producing it anymore or using cheaper metals, and saving taxpayers some $100M. I say take penny out of circulation - round all transactions DOWN to consumer, let companies not only report adjusted cost (adjusted to reflect actual money received, not actual cost), but also to claim those aggregate cents lost as tax write off. Consumer wins, company comes really close to breaking even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading something about a theory that glass is just a high viscosity liquid, and when it melts, it's really just losing viscosity but I don't think I buy i Why do scientists call it research when they are looking for something new? because they're searching through old data to draw new conclusions?

0 unreality Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 If a penny costs 2.3 cents to make, why is it still only worth a penny? yikes. good point If the cops arrest a mime do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? probably If quitters never win, and winners never quit, than who is the fool who said, "Quit while you're ahead?" What if the fools are the people that said the other two quotes...? Dun dun dun! Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread. stale bread can get even staler Why is jack a nickname for John? It isnt. Is it? Why does glass eventually get thicker towards the bottom? It does? Show me some proof!

0 Guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 If a penny costs 2.3 cents to make, why is it still only worth a penny? It wasn't always this way. There have been debates about getting rid of the penny due to the cost, but those stubborn Americans, who don't want to switch to the metric system, who are resistant to change. If the cops arrest a mime do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? Only if they want the case to hold up in court. The bigger question is-how do you read a deaf person his Miranda rights? If quitters never win, and winners never quit, than who is the fool who said, "Quit while you're ahead"? A Gambler, or someone else who can measure progress mid-stream Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread.

Of course Why does glass eventually get thicker towards the bottom? lazy glass blowers If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? what audience?

What is it free of? The land is unbound, it can change itself when it wants; just ask those who live near a volcano, or a fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) If a penny costs 2.3 cents to make, why is it still only worth a penny? Some countries have got rid of the pennies, some will, some should and may do. Probably some won't. Round up and give more product. I believe the bank of england prining works had a contract to print some arabic notes and they printed 'SPECIMEN' on them in arabic If the cops arrest a mime do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? yes If quitters never win, and winners never quit, than who is the fool who said, "Quit while you're ahead"? enough said Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread. never liked them - so not bothered Why is jack a nickname for John? never call my friends jack of there name is john Can you be a closet claustrophobic? No i can't - can you? Why does glass eventually get thicker towards the bottom? Paper-weights vary in shape but are thick oll the way through - except where they are not. If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? done this b4 - audience participation, on stage maybe - wild,wild guess Why do scientists call it research when they are looking for something new? I'll look this up and probably won't get back to you like the above, last one loses it. If the land is free, why is someone always trying to sell me something?

0 Guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think you've misunderstood the meaning of "rhetorical" He's telling us that we may answer these questions as we please I think I do missunderstand something, was he saying the answers were not persuasive/changeable/style or the original information. Took rhetorical to be persuasive and 'assumed' he meant his OP. Please correct me if you see something I'm missing - explain rhetoric if you wish Ploper, it's one of those 'odd' words for me. Did ask Jordanmax a question too, which he may want to empahsise or elaborate his post. Don't like to think I have offended anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he was telling everyone the questions weren't meant to be answered and thought rhetorical meant the opposite of what it means.
