This "kid" is thirty if he\'s a day. How he thought we wouldn\'t recognize him from George Mason\'s improbable Final Four run, I\'ll never know. His father(?) is also the coach.

people who smoke cigarettes directly in front of public buildings and don\'t give a ****. Outside of a bar at 12:43 am saturday night is one thing but stepping outside of a college building or a coffee shop or a mall and inhaling someone else\'s cig smoke because the **** suckers were too lazy to walk ten feet is probably my biggest pet peeve of all time. Seriously makes me want to strangle the rude ignorant dbag motherfuckers every time.

The fact that executives in many major companies find it reasonable that their pay is often more than 600 times (not including bonuses) that of the very people they depend on to keep said company afloat.

These same executives would rather cut jobs than take pay cuts. (*** Warning word Problem ahead***) For instance, you have to cut 1,000 jobs to reach a certain financial goal on your balance sheet. Now let\'s say you have a board room with 12 executives earning on average 500 times (because the CEO most likely makes more than the CFO etc.) that of the 1,000 employees\' salaries being removed from the books (this is not inconceivable). Well those executives could each take a pay cut of about 1.4% rather than ruin the lives of 1,000 people. And I\'m not even thinking Wal-Mart type corporations where the gap is most likely much wider than 500 times.

Check my math, I hope I did that right. I used 1 as the employee salary.

Execs total salary (6,000), Employees total salary (1,000).
1,000/6,000 = 16.67%
16.67%/12 = 1.38% a piece.

It\'s been a while since algebra. :hscratch:
