Quote:Can I opt out of Social Security?  Can I withdraw taxes that I have paid for Social Security coverage?

---

No. Social Security coverage is mandatory. But consider this: unlike your private plan, Social Security provides disability and survivors coverage in addition to retirement benefits. And Social Security generally offers greater protection for family members than private pensions.

The law also does not permit a refund of Social Security taxes. The authority for the collection of taxes, including Social Security taxes, is found in the Internal Revenue Code, not the Social Security Act. (See sections 3101(a) and 3102(a) of the Code.) We suggest that you direct any questions you may have about tax liability to that Agency for consideration.

chocolate like that is why I hate this country...
I don't want to pay my hard earned money to support your chocolatety system that is failing. I find it a little annoying that everyone else in the world seems to have so much control over my money and how much of it is actually mine.

As a NEET in the making and a Hikikomori does anyone have any work I could do online for them? Also, does anyone know of where to get a job online. One of those work at home job type things?

also if location matters, I live in USA and only speak english U.U

All things are mortal in this universe, so it would appear.If it continues long enough, humans, the earth, the entire galaxy will cease to exist and there is nothing we as humans can do to stop that. We try so hard, as humans, to pretend we aren't animals and try so hard to gain power, to live and be remembered, but no matter what we will never achieve that power.We can never touch a star and examine it with our bare hands. We will never be able to see the smallest parts of the universe beneath our noses. We can never know what it's like to feel an environment at absolute zero. I do not know if these are comforts left from a God kind enough to give the human race something to do, or if they are cruelties of a universe mocking the inept ability of a human being but in the end, perhaps we have to accept that there are things we as humans simply can't change.

People themselves don't even decide who they are. I can think I'm crazy all I want but if other people don't think I'm crazy I'm not. I can be a complete loser to myself and everyone else can make me cool. I can be a genius and be a moron. People themselves alone don't decide who they are, to some degree we have influence over others perception but in the end they decide who we are. I have a firm belief in this and refuse to let it go.

I think my mind is breaking. Splitting between the physical world that is here and the philosophical world of how everything works and what will be. One is a solid outlook of what's happening right now. The other is a view of everything going on in the past and future and how everything was/will be. Maybe I'm becoming omnipotent Oo, if only I could be so lucky.

A simple test
will be developed later

I am going to start writing a video game. It is going to start out as a huge rip off of a game I currently play and am in love with and then I will change it drastically to fit my personal taste.

I need a team :D

I am the lead coder of the game
I am also the lead developer

Positions are available as follows and if you apply I would prefer you were a person who comes online frequently and if you would give me your msn so we can transfer files and keep in touch...

Positions...

Modeler - must be skilled in 3ds max or another program that has the ability to export models as a .fbx or .x file
you will need to be able to make humanoids know about working with bones and such for animation and you're probably going to have to make chocolate tons of clothing at some point

Texturer - must be willing to make an ass load of textures to fit a majority of the models. Probably going to need to be good at making human skins and clothing as well as ground textures sky textures and basic photoshop skillz

Graphic Designer - you will handle most of the UI things like buttons, menu backgrounds, backgrounds in general

Sound Artist - we could probably use some music as well a few beeps and stuff, stuff without royalties so I don't get my ass sued after using someone else's music in game.

I could also possibly use some help from another coder who has experience with the microsoft XNA framework and anyone who thinks the could contribute something should say what they think they could offer if they want to be apart of this...

I begged and begged and told them how I saw how I was wrong and they finally unbanned me :)
I would post the whole convo but in exchange from being unbanned from s4, apparently I am eXx1l3d from the main site, or I am (blocked from login)

So I really like this girl. I think about her from time to time and I think she is beautiful. I think she is innocent and just a wonderful person. So after telling her in real life that I had a crush on her quite some time ago she became embarrassed laughed and that was about the end of it. I knew we could never be anything more than barely friends considering we never really talk and we never knew each other well enough to be anything more than that. We talk on occasion and I often tell her how pretty she it. She is also a grade above me and graduating next year. So yesterday I decided I would try one more time to tell her. I tried after class but she didn't hear me so I posted it on facebook. I said something like "You are beautiful and you make me happy." Well now we are no longer friends on facebook. I guess I always knew she could never love me, but it kind of sucks considering we still have class together...

I figure I will just pretend it didn't happen and try to act normal until the Senior class leaves school this year.
any other suggestions? lol

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman was born on May, 31, 1819 to Walter Whitman and Louisa Van Velsor in West Hills, Long Island. Right before his fourth birthday, his family moved from West Hills to Brooklyn. The move was a result of Walt Whitman’s father seeking employment as a carpenter. Walt Whitman received a simple education for 6 years, but his mother taught him the importance of family values and his father taught him his liberal views and free thinking.

Because of his mother’s teachings, Walt Whitman became a family man after his father died. He ended school at age eleven and began working as an office boy. Because of his father’s teachings, as an office boy his employer and his employer’s son took a liking to him. They helped Whitman improve his handwriting and gave him a subscription to a library, so he could check out books. Whitman took a liking to reading Sir Walter Scott. It was shortly after all of this that Whitman changed jobs and started working at a Physician’s Office.

In the summer of 1831, Walt Whitman got a job at the Long Island Patriot. Walt Whitman was only 12 at the time.  The editor of the paper, once again shared Walt Whitman’s political views. Whitman was given the chance to write filler material for the paper.

In the summer of 1832, Walt Whitman worked for a man named Erastus Washington. Later, in autumn, he worked for Alden Spooner. Alden Spooner was the most successful printer in town at the time.

In 1834, Whitman’s family moved back to West Hills. Whitman chose to ...
