I fear for the state of our military and the work they do after this...

$1.5M? chump change!

 

goes pretty far in them parts

 

wtf? them parts? you don't live far from them nor does anyone on the east coast. dollar is still valued the same.

how does it even compare to the money that is spent on our military, which is the subject of the thread?????

 

a football player earns more than a soldier,. you wanna go there. Or just leave the sheeple subject alone?

 

Thanks.

 

i never said they spent that money on salaries.

 

The median salary in the NFL in 2009 was roughly $770,000. In 2008 it was about $720,000. The Steelers have the highest median salary at $1.1 million, the Packers the lowest at $440,000. The Redskins have the highest payroll at $123 million. The Giants have the lowest at $76 million.
The average (arithmetic mean) NFL salary in 2006 was $1.4 million.
Source: http://asp.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/salaries/mediansalaries.aspx?year=2007
Given that the average length of a Gridiron player's career in NFL is 3 years, average Green Bay salary of $440,000 means that after tax they earn less than $1 million total career earnings hampered by the fact there is nowhere else to play as Leagues have folded.
League minimums for years 1994, 1995, 1996.
$108,000, $149,000, $196,000. No guaranteed contracts...


?see with that being said, a nuclear sub captain can earn up to 140K a yr if not better.,. But if youre underwater for 360days.... youre not really spending it on anything?...

 

I thought the subject of the thread was how one carload of military personal acting like teenage fools threatened the entire military and made the rest of the world hate Americans?

 

military was the subjject, not appalachian hill folk

 

Then you need to take the change up with deviate

 

PB don't be a dick

I think it was a fair question.
At this point in the thread I think we are allowed to talk about other issues relating to the military.

 

I'm not being a dick, well at least not that post
Vig is the one that seems to be making an issue out of Appalacian hill folk. I was just pointing out where the change in focus came from.

 

butthuuuuuuurt

 

A very quick Google search:

...between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2003, government programs disbursed about $4.6 billion for water and wastewater infrastructure in Appalachia.

Funding programs include grants, subsidized loans, and pooled loans (bond bank programs).​

Perhaps not a complete dick, but you are trying to belittle her a little, imho. Just sayin'.

Yes, she is. But she is not saying: "What the fuck are you talking about that for?"
I have a feeling we will be hearing about those folk from you soon.

 

well, since we're comparing numbers...not that it really has anything to do with anything...

2000 $311.7B
2001 $307.8B
2002 $328.7B
2003 $404.9B

spent on the military

 

That's chump change

If that includes money spent on infrastructure too, It's good value for money.

 

I wonder if you would say the same thing if Vig was a 53 year old man?
I'm not treating her any differently then I do anyone else on these forums.
My reactions to others are based on the content of their thoughts, not the shape of their body.

Actually it's kind of humerous to see some of you guys jump to her defense.
If she didn't post smokin hot pics of herself, would you still be so quick to come to her defense?
I'm not going to let some ignorant comments go unchallenged simply because the person making them is an attractive young woman.
And you called me a sexist pig.
I'm an equal opportunity dick, and I don't hold a grudge.

I'm sure there will be other topics in which we are in agreement and I will stand by her side at that time, but in this topic she has shown a lack of comprehension. I should be contrite and apologetic for pointing that out?
Sorry, not gonna happen.

 

Yes, I would say the same thing if Vig' was a 53 year old man, as long as I liked them, that is.
It wasn't because Vig' has posted "smokin hot pics of herself".
My goodness, do you think I am that shallow?
If I was that way inclined I would have agreed with her from the start.
I think I'm disagreeing with her on most of her comments, tbh.
If you feel your earlier comments were fair, fair enough.
It just felt like you were cruisin' for confrontation for no particular reason other than you could..
My deepest apologies for insulting you.

I'm surprised she has not told me to go fuck myself for interfering.

 

if youre being the dick.. can I be the nuts?..
