///BHRpowered Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'm not going to express my personal finances, certainly on the internet. My company brings in about 1.4M a year, my take minus what I reinvest in the company is a shade under 70k, You must also factor in what I shall call trust fund interest accrued, normally split into retirement and other long-term investmants, if you were to of course have this in all liquid cash I would be in the high 6 figure range, but like hopefully you have seen with cars, websites, etc. from day one I hit the ground running throwing more into the future then the here and now. Â besides, 70k isn't bad for a 2.5 year old company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 and you would be correct, however I was just making a point, certainly not to detail my finances.

///BHRpowered Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 *sigh* you jsut don't get it, it was a different time, and we had to win at all costs, both sides did. Â and for 400 dollars I could probably pick up a set of 95-96 rims with used tires and put them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Resources BHR, if they'd skipped the whole pen thing and used a pencil, then they could have used the scientists/engineers devoted to making the pen on something else (more important). During your time in business school, did you not learn about opportunity costs? In very many respects this is the biggest problem in North America, pure waste of resources. If North Americans weren't so damn stupid and wasteful, the quality of life here could be close to double what it is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renboy Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 THATS WAT I WANTED TO SAY! BUT I WAS AFRAID OF BEING WARNED. Why would you get warned? I didn't say anything offensive, just pointing out the obvious. I've said a lot worse shit in the past and never gotten warned, neither here nor .org. Â BHR and I do have history though...

Synesthesia Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Ren, Â Under normal conditions you would be right, however no goverment in the world is run like a successful business, they are not concerned with such matters. Not to mention during the cold war resources were more or less endless, the only thing they needed to achieve was the goal. Â Now of course you can buy one of these pens for about 50 dollars, and overtime, they have probably MADE money on the patent for it.

Â In the 70's and 80's the department of defense did still have endless resources, as for the space program, we had won the space race so there was no longer the drive, maybe that is why we switched to pencils as I mentioned earlier.

mts Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 It is not jealousy at all why Americans are hated worldwide... it is sheer arogance. If YOU knew how to leave your arrogance at home when travelling and just blend in to the surroundings, by using the local currency and trying to speak the language... you might actually gain some respect. BUT no most American tourists are so fuckin' ingnorant that they go into countries like Germany and EXPECT the locals to speak english and take the greenback.... I know that I am generalizing but I have travelled worldwide and seen this all too much. SMARTEN THE FUCK UP and you may be a cog in the undoing of the long lived hatred. I am all for national pride... do not get me wrong, until it infringes on other peoples national pride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
