    taxation is theft! it forces imbalance in the world. vegans have to pay for meat subsidies, peaceful people have to pay for weapons and war, pro-lifers have to pay for abortion, atheists have to pay church subsidies, environmentalists pay for oil and plastic subsidies, and the list is endless. if we want to make the world a better place we need to put the individual choice over the collective choice.

    if you truly believe in namaste, or Liberty, then you need to connect it to individual vs. collectivism. as you can only control what you can control and to make the world a better place starts with you and your power of choice. unfortunately when you believe in and support the collectivist state, you break namaste in a very indirect but certain way. point is you can't respect someone else's space if you're appointing leaders over them, or making laws that control their lives, or use force against them, or just simply tax them to pay for things they don't morally support. that is anti-namaste! we all need to go back to the philosophical drawing board

    • I agree, I too am a fan of Ayn Rand. Taxation is fraud, at least the way its done now. I have this personal melt down around tax time every April.sofakingback
    • I like consumption tax idea. Not federal income tax. That is def. theft. It wouldn't be theft if the govt/politicians werent corrupt and steal the money.Hayoth

    • id be interested in a consumption tax, but probably would still need some sort of negative income tax since its regressive. some taxation is a necessary evil.deathboy

    • Corporate taxes in the US is really high but seldom paid due to elaborate avoidance schemes whilst average Joe gets rinsed regularly. That's the issue.monoboy

    I'm about to pull my fuckin hair out. How do you guys do it??

    Trying to price out photo shoots is driving me crazy. All googling does is confuse me more. I've got senior portraits, cougar wants beach photos, cheap wedding, expensive wedding, headshots...

    For example this girl wants to send her 4 year old daughter's headshots to Hollywood, but do I ask her exactly what she wants or do I just tell her that I charge X for X.

    1. I take about 40 50 images pick the top 10 and they pick their favorite 3 and then I retouch them and have them printed out.
    The rest I put on a CD color and black and white. Low -res in jpeg format?

    2. Or do I take 40-50 images then my client gets them all.. They get the large JPEG files and a smaller group of JPEG's for web use. All on a CD with full rights?

    or

    3. Do I do 1 look for $100, 2 looks for $150, 3 looks for $200 etc..

    • I dont charge by look I charge by time. I charge by time. They can change into 100 looks for all I care. If they can fit all into the time they are paying for.pango
    • They pay for time per hour. 3 free touched photos per hour. They pay for additional touches photo.pango
    • do what you want. sell your value anyway you choose.deathboy
    • I use a sliding scale of how much I want to do something > how little I want to do something then charge accordinglysinjun

    Saw something about the Deutsche bank collapsing tomorrow Friday. And then read on Google that shit is about to hit the fan if it keeps plunging. Anyone know what's going on? Or how is this affecting everyone?

    I'm so angry and so pissed right now.
    Today when I woke up after hearing the alarm I let the telefon slip to the floor.

    Thing is it didn't fell in the floor but in a pee jar (for the night) from my girlfriend that was next to the bed and NOT under the bed...

    I was like fuck!

    She immediately said she has nothing to do with it.
    She constantlz leaves things in the florr laying around and one has to be very careful where one steps specially in the dark.

    In this aspect we are different as night and day.
    I'm über angry!!!

    Six months ago she threw me a glass of water that landed on my computer...I couldn't save it and had to buy another one.

    She said it was nothing to do with her...

    This are things that if I was single and living alone wouldn't happen and we are not in a very good phase right now...and now this.

    I feel like telling her to pack her stuff and leave me alone cause for getting fucked like this I prefer to be alone.

    I know that I'm exposing myself but I really need to vent.
    The thing that makes really annoyed is that I don't have money for a new phone right now, I have other plans that I've been delaying...

    So I decided...I'm still with a overheated head...not to have a phone until Xmas!
