I'd say losing 95% of your views is much worse than losing 10%.

Yep.

That depends on weather you lose 95% of your face by getting slapped 847.7M times or not.

Former Benson High teacher sentenced again for drug crimes, gets 5 1/2 years prison | OregonLive.com
That was my middle school Spanish culture teacher. She was beyond incompetent and the school fired her when I was in 6th grade. She threw a hissy fit claiming they tried to fire her because she's gay (no one knew she was gay, she wore a wedding ring) so the school district sent her to work at another school (Benson) where 5 or so years later she gets fired for meth possession. And now she's at it again.

Icelandic girl fights for right to her own name - Yahoo! News

It's not mind-blowing, but it just never occurred to me that there are governments that dictate what a person can name their child. Seems kinda crazy!

That's because you're from the south. Clinging to your silly bibles, religion, and freedom. Pshh!

In a country comfortable with a firm state role, most people don't question the Personal Names Register, a list of 1,712 male names and 1,853 female names that fit Icelandic grammar and pronunciation rules and that officials maintain will protect children from embarrassment.

Rescued by a Bailout, A.I.G. May Sue Its Savior - NYTimes.com

Quote:
Fresh from paying back a $182 billion bailout, the American International Group Inc. has been running a nationwide advertising campaign with the tagline “Thank you America.”

Behind the scenes, the restored insurance company is weighing whether to tell the government agencies that rescued it during the financial crisis: thanks, but you cheated our shareholders.

The board of A.I.G. will meet on Wednesday to consider joining a $25 billion shareholder lawsuit against the government, court records show. The lawsuit does not argue that government help was not needed. It contends that the onerous nature of the rescue — the taking of what became a 92 percent stake in the company, the deal’s high interest rates and the funneling of billions to the insurer’s Wall Street clients — deprived shareholders of tens of billions of dollars and violated the Fifth Amendment, which prohibits the taking of private property for “public use, without just compensation.”
These people need to be publicly spanked with a very large hand.
