[2015-10-21. : 10:27 pm] poison_us -- Not sure if cyanide would be more or less painful than suffocation.[2015-10-21. : 10:25 pm] NudeRaider -- If I know my death will be by suffocating I might carry a cyanide pill around me or something. I didn't say that I would necessarily start planning just when symptoms appear.[2015-10-21. : 10:25 pm] KrayZee -- BREAKING NEWS - The porn industry decided to donate trillions of dollars to pay off debt, offers scholarships and grants for new pornstars to pay off college tuition, donates billions to cancer and disease cure research especially AIDS and HIV, offers quadruple the paycheck of $15 minimum wage, flourishes economy, and donates billions to education and science, donates billions to NASA and space exploration, and ends world hunger![2015-10-21. : 10:23 pm] NudeRaider -- obviously with so little information I can't make the right decision for all scenarios. I'm just going with what I would find most likely.[2015-10-21. : 10:21 pm] NudeRaider -- DevourerDevourer shouted: NudeRaider but when usually you notice when something slow and painful starts to kill you [2015-10-21. : 10:20 pm] Jack -- WOW "President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed a 100% tax on all incomes over $25,000.[30][31] When Congress did not enact that proposal, Roosevelt issued an executive order attempting to achieve a similar result through a salary cap on certain salaries in connection with contracts between the private sector and the federal government.[32][33][34] For tax years 1944 through 1951, the highest marginal tax rate for individuals was 91%, increasing to 92% for 1952 and 1953, and reverting to 91% for tax years 1954 through 1963.[35]"[2015-10-21. : 10:20 pm] Devourer -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: If it's a painful or slow death I might try to plan a suicide. but when[2015-10-21. : 10:20 pm] NudeRaider -- If it's a painful or slow death I might try to plan a suicide.[2015-10-21. : 10:20 pm] poison_us -- Knowing when but not how, and not knowing you can't change it, would mean far more stress. Definitely prefer how.[2015-10-21. : 10:19 pm] NudeRaider -- Then I would want to know how I die in the hopes of figuring out what led to it and trying to prevent it.[2015-10-21. : 10:17 pm] Devourer -- Yeah. Well what if you would not know if you were able to influence it? Probably changes it a bit.[2015-10-21. : 10:17 pm] poison_us -- Besides, knowing for certain when I die may lead to depression.[2015-10-21. : 10:16 pm] NudeRaider -- how I die is irrelevant if a) I can't change it and b) I'm dead afterwards regardless of cause.[2015-10-21. : 10:16 pm] poison_us -- DevourerDevourer shouted: and the "How" would not be that detailed as in location, rather just the cause of death itself, like "stabbed", "shot", "drowned", etc. i assumed this.[2015-10-21. : 10:16 pm] Jack -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Jack I don't know... I don't think I have much more to say. If you don't believe I'm right you might wanna research on your own. I could say the same to you. I have done a reasonable amount of research myself and don't think that social development through government taxation is the best way of achieving social development, among various other issues with taxation in general, and the practical outworkings of government actions.[2015-10-21. : 10:16 pm] NudeRaider -- Then I guess "when" is more helpful. I can plan my life better.[2015-10-21. : 10:16 pm] Devourer -- and the "How" would not be that detailed as in location, rather just the cause of death itself, like "stabbed", "shot", "drowned", etc.[2015-10-21. : 10:15 pm] poison_us -- Though it would also be a relief to know it isn't in a laboratory accident.[2015-10-21. : 10:15 pm] poison_us -- Might clue me in to "when", and I doubt I would actually be doing something different at the time of death. Likely would have forgotten.[2015-10-21. : 10:15 pm] Moose -- JackJack shouted: original USA tax rate was 1% and optional wasn't it? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_history_of_the_United_States#Development_of_the_modern_income_tax[2015-10-21. : 10:14 pm] Devourer -- Offtopic, seriously though, one disgusting choice to make: if you were forced to know one of the following information, what would it be? When -or- How you are going to die?[2015-10-21. : 10:14 pm] NudeRaider -- JackJack shouted: Nude it's too big a topic for shoutbox conversation I think, but if you want we can make a SD thread I don't know... I don't think I have much more to say. If you don't believe I'm right you might wanna research on your own.[2015-10-21. : 10:12 pm] Jack -- Nude it's too big a topic for shoutbox conversation I think, but if you want we can make a SD thread[2015-10-21. : 10:12 pm] Moose -- 1982-1986, top US marginal income tax rate, 50%. 1965-1981, 70%. Oh, you meant the 50s were America's glory days? Try 91 and 92%, then.[2015-10-21. : 10:12 pm] Jack -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: Jack do you have any research here? this doesn't appear to be an easy topic to search More personal experience with state systems than solid research, sorry.[2015-10-21. : 10:11 pm] poison_us -- DevourerDevourer shouted: poison_us but it is one extra touch to get to write <> than to write != the = sign is on the same key set as <> for me, and any time after I hit "123" it shows "!"...so no net change in button presses.[2015-10-21. : 10:11 pm] jjf28 -- JackJack shouted: jjf28 I mean if you think state education and healthcare are efficient then you haven't had a look into the actual running of said healthcare and education compared to private versions do you have any research here? this doesn't appear to be an easy topic to search[2015-10-21. : 10:10 pm] Moose -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Jack Jack I want social security. I want equality. I want to have good infrastructure family- and healthcare. And I want it regardless of my income. All of these are improved by higher taxes. Lowering taxes helps the rich more than it helps you which is exactly what I do not want. A "everyone fend for themselves" mentality where I have have to be lucky enough to have income to afford important aspects of life. The extra fun part is when people refer to America's glory days but don't bother to look up the historical tax rates of those time periods[2015-10-21. : 10:09 pm] Devourer -- poison_uspoison_us shouted: I'm on my phone. but it is one extra touch to get to write <> than to write !=[2015-10-21. : 10:09 pm] NudeRaider -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Jack Jack I want social security.
