There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Lately I've ask my self many times, why is it in this country that the person who does the least amount of work, gets the most perks and the highest pay, while the people who make the product, do the labor, and put in the sweat, get the least amount of benifits and pay, and unfortunately are the first ones to get hurt and feel the effects when that overpayed CEO steals or screws up. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
For those that do not know, if you had Yahoo stock years ago, you would be a millionaire today.
My brothers boss, about 3 jobs back, made his millions when he sold his Yahoo stock, which at the time was near $300.00.
Right now, Google is at just over $300.00 a share, (like $318.00 early in the week). Yahoo is at $11.61 a share as of today. If Yahoo gets back on their feet, (and I truly believe they will if MS leaves them alone), then they will be gold again.
The Google search engine is superior, but Yahoo has tons of other services including business setups, which Lionheart Creations is in (started and presently running in).
During a forced possible buyout, Microsoft attempted to buy them out. I was talking with the gentleman that I purchased my used car from and he agrees that the low stock values at Yahoo are possibly from MS causing it to be at a low, using their huge monitary resources to bring the values down and starve out the firm into folding and being able to be bought out, which I pray to God does not happen. If MS cant even make a good OS these days, I hope they dont mess up Yahoo also.. (Im sorry, forgive me..)
If this person knows of a way to save the company, and can make back 100X what her payroll is, then all the more power to her. But... well.. Time will tell.
My advice, if you can find out data to secure Yahoo's future (no wierd goings on about a takeover from vista), then I would buy stock in Yahoo....

Yahoo and Google search engines are the same, Yahoo pays Google to use its engine, The reason the results you see are different however is that Yahoo will accept "bribes". If a banana company wants their page to be the first return anytime someone searches "banana", instead of the wikipedia page, Yahoo will accept their money and magically their page will jump to the top. I prefer Google because of the less cluttered webpage, and I know my results are legitimate and not corporate sponsored.
