Well..it is not jiuce..it is sauce..and not a liquid eye..eye liquid rather...may be i will put the recipe in the "Lets Swap Recipes" topic eh! I think..and don't quote me - they make a sauce out of the liquid within the crocodile's eye... PS: ma anaa ku iri - Glass building ka shaqee -

^^^ LooL is that your way of calaacal? NG…don't panic…Val has been deported from Aussieland...She refused to drink EEL skin soup and vomited infront of an Aborigine elder after eating at well known Aborigines Restaurant...they - The Abos- took her vomiting of their food as an insult...but who can blame her…most Brits don’t have stomach for steamed Possum intestines with Crocodile Eye liquid sauce. Cheers

Who would have thought an Arab woman would be the downfall for one of the great architects of the Iraq War...You will say that is Karma eh! Cheers

I have quickly glanced at the list and i think it has the potential to be a good Agenda for reconciliation dirin. Altho I would like the put the SL related issues at the end i.e. after some sort of progress is made in all other point. Why don't we ask if the Solers can spearhead such discussion... They could be a test sample for the above model. Cheers

^^^^ I think Rahima is playing prank on you ha ha ha

^^^^ You have no Idea what they put him thru...it is easy to judge from outside. So I would qualify my response if i were you! Cheers

Originally posted by Puuja: Your math or tax rate is little off LOZ. In the USA single making 54k will be taxed 25% while married person filing join tax rate is 15% for the same amount. Now if we redo the calculation and take into account that their combined income will be 108k and not 54k before tax, you can see that depending on their priority and budgeting skills it’s very feasible for a couple in that income level to employ maid service…say 4-6 hrs a week. By the way for income of 108,000 married couple filling join tax bill will be 20,115 = Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over) = 8,440 + (.25 x (108000 - 61300 ) = 8440 + (.25 x 46700) = 20,115 Ooh Bugger!...We were talking about Aussie tax regime...I do not know anything about the US tax system...I think tho the nerd in the IRS office can see you and your partner as milking cows for Bush & Co so it is my gues that he will do whatever it takes [perhaps thousand ways] to squeese some more dough from your pockets!...I would have Cara...You Rock Baan ku iri! I would not want to waste that wonderful brain of yours doing mundine house work...dhimashaan ka xigaa baan ku leeyahay!...I suggest to plan for illegal Mexican maid! Lily...Anything for you dee...househusband and more Cheers

^^^ U almost got me there..But what you don't know is the Tax office has a way of screwing u up... Allow me to do some real calc here (potentially I could be misleading you )... $54K - annual Less by the Super contribution 9% = $49140 Then tax kicks in - - - > $2340 lump sum + 30% for every dollar u earn above $21K (Note they use the 54K) that takes your annual tax to $12240 then add MedCare Levy + Surcharge (2.5%) $1350 then Hecs of 3200 (6.5%) then add the student supp loan (3%) $1620 Net = $30736 / 52 weeks =$591...oops... but hang one before u sign Waltzin Matilda ...subtract the 220 for the nanny and 200 for the maid and you end up with $191...well I wasn't that far off BTW...I conceded after the calculation...not before the calculation...and My reasons for conceding were that families do make a decision they believe is best for them. Cheers Lily..I was never coming around to any argument they put forward...they strangled the constitutive rules of economic modeling...Cara and Rahima both introduced assumptions that are not related to the original discussion aka Comparative theory...from there it went to whirlpool

^^^LoooL..hadde 16 sano ayeey is feerayeen... way daaleen...markaa baa la is xagxaganayaa...mar dhaw waxay gaareeysaa in indhaha un la iska dagaalo! Cheers

<---As Southerner... I do not support a unification with SL until SL compeletes its secession Cheers

^^^ wa run sxb...anaguna halkaan baan qabiil poliitiks isku xagxaganaa...soo maha!

^^^hmmm... I think you missed the boat here; I have already conceded..but since you brought me back from the brink of elimination..i can't thank you enough... Can I say that we are no longer working on The wonderful Comparative advantage as we have already established what the outcome would be if we use the wonderful theory.. As for expanding to make it realistic..allow me to correct you... If you assume an average income of $54K a year; after tax you will end up with a mere $500 - $540 per week...if you then deduct the $360 [which i dont know how yuo came up with...I thought 40 X 5 = 200]...but anyway... $500/540 - $360 = 140 /180 :eek: :eek: a mere $180 incremental?... if you ask me I do not see much incentive here! yeah..and if we do more robust calculation that $180 can easly disappear ... Did I mention that you will miss all the good first timers i.e. firt time your child did this and did that... Again...I say who wudn't love a professional Xaliimo ... On a Serious note, I say every family would [hopefully] do whatever is best for them...it is case by case than just generalising and saying woman/man do this and do that...There are alot of factors partners consider when making decisions about their family whether it is economic, personal and spritual reasons...So until that day...be it!... From personal perspective, in this day and age, I do not know how a family could achieve their goals with one income...unless one of them is swiming with the dollars eh! <---remember's Uncle Scoorge... Cheers

^^^Well...Nothing is better than hatred/ [ok..mildly put] detest for motivation eh!... It is Blasphemy at the highest level, according to Zuism, to ignore The wisdom of Comparative theory! Anyways, that reminds of an ER epsiode i watched while back...where this child has an accident and when the parents arrive to calm/sooth the kid - the Kid keeps crying, calling for the nany BTW...This was all fun..yeah!...Women Rock yeah! (looks around..checking of Zu-ette is looking) Cheers

^^^ We looking things from economic perspective Inty, any thing you can add to? ehm...ehm Cheers

OOOH I forgot about this topic... JB..am more than willing to discuss this issue with you as long as we cover the basics first..and the basics I mean... 1 - Understand the relationship between Time and Predestination 2 - Understand the Omniscience of God Everything else is then discussed along the above context... See our earlier discussion was like arguing with someone [who believes Earth is flat] about whether Earth rotates from clockwise. <-- this is just extrme example but i hope you understand...and it is not your faith that I am referring to....more like discussing Free will & predestination without understanding the Time Effect! Cheers

^^^^ LoooL..more like "Waar Maxaad naga taqaan Libaax badeedkaan madaxa ku sidanaa" I think someone should name themselves "Libaax Badeed Sitte" and keep this pic as avatar. LST - Top that!!! Cheers

Cara Your Logic sux!...I will be back...when i have little bit of more time. In the meantime, just food for thought, Once you add additional variable [maid] into the theory you are no longer working with the Comparative theory - Remember the theory explains the trade between two individuals and how they decide, who will do what, based on their relative efficiency. See, once you add a maid into the equation then we should also add a nanny who takes care of the little one until one of you get back from work...now the most time that one of you will not be home is 6 hrs. So you will need a nany for at least 6 hrs. saying that, whatever you have gained -income wise- thru working is now eroded! Cheers PS: More to come -

Alright...I see my contradictory disclaimer was not accepted...I can insist that it is far from being counter intuitive but more like “oooh” kind of reaction. So I will give you a scenario here, whereby the xaliimo [in this case Cara] is better than the farax [in this case Legend] in both aspects based on the theory –the better outcome is undeniably that she does the house work. In a nutshell the real question that the resident undercover economist will tackle is “ is Legend worse than Cara at cooking/household chores or at working outside? At what task is The Hot Cara relatively more efficient than the Sizzling Legend ? It is all about the relative efficiency? Are you with me so far? Lets say The Hot Cara is able to put 3 hours of labour to finish all the household chores while Legend needs to put 8 hours of labour to do the same tasks. Cara needs 6 hours per day at the office to earn enough money for the whole family unfortunately our farax in question aka Legend is not as efficient as Cara so he needs to work 10 hours to earn the same as her. Our theory, and here is where I feel a Daniel coming to judgment , says The Legend-Cara family will be better off if our lovely Cara does the house chores! Er…I proclaim that my intentions are as pure as the driven snow! Cheers
