OH, I love OH, but mostly because it's boring Isaac Send a noteboard - 15/09/2011 11:06:36 PM
Ohio is also a notoriously uncool place

When it has us

I happen to be very fond of Ohio.

Besides, it's about to get decidedly cool. One might even say cold.



Ohio's great but its best feature is how relatively relaxed everything is, or boring... which probably explains why we produce disproportionate numbers of presidents and serial killers... still its great because it's uncool.

that, and how do banks affect GDP? LadyLorraine - 15/09/2011 09:37:49 PM 837 Views
The services banks provide stimulate economic growth. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:40:11 PM 803 Views
Not the money that belongs to others, but Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 09:53:05 PM 877 Views
Closer to 190 times as many, actually. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:37:53 PM 859 Views
my backyard is bigger than Delaware and has more people in when I have a barbecue random thoughts - 15/09/2011 09:47:20 PM 957 Views
Erm. Nate - 15/09/2011 09:55:08 PM 903 Views
Yeah, I don't see how those two figures are even similar tbh. *NM* Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 10:00:30 PM 342 Views
Still a huge enough difference to make you wonder about that map, though... Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:00:40 PM 899 Views
yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B random thoughts - 15/09/2011 10:08:24 PM 908 Views
That's exactly what it is, yes. *NM* Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:56 PM 427 Views

Re: yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B Isaac - 15/09/2011 10:22:27 PM 841 Views
There's a flip side to that, too, though. Joel - 16/09/2011 04:31:06 PM 931 Views
I'd rather not have a political debate on the subject Isaac - 16/09/2011 05:51:50 PM 901 Views
I wasn't trying to make it political, honest. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:00:34 PM 900 Views
As Legolas says, that is essentially what PPP GDP is, and why I and others prefer it. Joel - 16/09/2011 03:59:41 PM 1130 Views
That's not all that similar! Vivien - 16/09/2011 12:43:10 AM 894 Views
Erm, nevermind. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:05:13 PM 868 Views
Hmm. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:10:55 PM 964 Views
Yeah, I started out by confusing Delaware with Rhode Island and it went from there. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:09 PM 971 Views
I noticed the edit thing a while back Stephen - 15/09/2011 10:57:01 PM 761 Views
Yeah, think it's pretty much always been that way. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:55:03 PM 833 Views

The united Arab Emirates... and Brazil...eh *NM* Aisha - 16/09/2011 01:00:09 AM 436 Views
