If I were a perverted woman I'd be very interested in that snout

so that's why they sent in the camel-, donkey and horsef*****'ers

we do???

do hookers count?

you're no longer part of the cool club, obviously

I can't help it that I keep bumping myself into attractive sluts and hookers. That's karma baby. When you do good things, good things will do you. That's what I always say anyway.

And I deny everything. Eminem has never been inside of me. There may be some blurry moments. But that's my position on eminem and firmly stucking to it. Ermmm I mean sticking.

There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you won't you, be the one I always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down

and of course
she's gone, I am a wreck
tears on my pillow, won't get her back

I will be out of a job soon

weep weep

I am stingy

keep! keep!

Can't really argue the second point.  However, that's not an argument against the estate tax as a whole, but rather an argument against the minimum estate value.  The question would then be "at what dollar amount would an inheritor not be ruined by an estate tax?"

it's not that hard to dodge estate tax, although I imagine the details differ from country to country

The classic way used to be to hide the biggest % of your wealth is to deposit all of your shares minus one share into a bank safe or with some foreign broker, then when you die you leave the key to the safe/password to the account to your heirs and poof suddenly they can pretend to have been owners of the family business for years already, with you just having shown up at the stock holder's meeting with only one share and your heirs simply let you run the business in spite of your extreme minority in the voting capital because you were teh shiznit. In its basic form this one should be hard to pull off in modern legal systems, but I'm sure there's more advanced

Another classic is to donate the title of a property to your children while you're alive while stipulating the right for a life long rent for yourself.

"God given" is merely a substitute for "enough people who matter have for a long enough period been considering this right so important that they deem it to be immutable and inalienable in the present and the future, while lamenting, mocking or pitying those generations who did not realize the importance of this right in the past".

The rest all turns to semantics. For example one the left one could say people's "god given" right to life means they have a right to be subsidized by the government if they can't provide for themselves, while on the right on could say it is merely a right not to have others actively endangering your life.
