[QUOTE=Kraken;169634]USA is actually using almost as much on social expenditure in % of gnp as Norway, only problem is that you are doing a piss poor job with the money.[/QUOTE]
You seem to have answered your own question…

Yes, I was a bit flabbergasted about the numbers and I lost my track in the discussion. So I have to admit defeat.
No argument on that. Most over every dollar spent on social programs is wasted on administration. The nonprofits spend 50-90 percent on administration and advertising
[QUOTE=Kraken;169652]Well I managed to get this thread more off topic then c.captain could possibly manage.[/QUOTE]
no worries mate…jumping the tracks with a thread makes them interesting and creates worthwhile discussion. Who would give a rat’s ass for a thread which literally was only about curled charts?
Hey Scooter I also added a confederate flag to your picture.
Dammit I need a link!!!

I’ll hook you up.
Very nice and tastefully done, I was worried it would defile and denigrate the flag. To bad you can’t share with the group.

I would love to see it!
Chart, what’s that?

True. As an example the Wounded Warriors Project is one of the better nonprofits as they spend only about 6 % on administrative expenses but a whopping 34% goes to fundraising. I’d rather pay my money directly to the woefully underfunded VA and I do. Their administrative expenses are very low and if they were properly funded there would be no need for the Wounded Warrior Project. If our “leaders” cannot take care of our veterans they should quit buying planes, ships and tanks until they figure out how to take care of the people they promised to take care of.
[QUOTE=AKtugboater;169710]Chart, what’s that?[/QUOTE]
It’s a paper covering for the wheelhouse table to protect it from coffee rings etc. Like the table cloth you use at home.
In the past I’ve rescued out of date maps from the trash and repurposed them as wrapping paper. They make good hurricane tracking maps as well.
I used to wrap Xmas presents with old charts all the time. Everyone knew where that present came from.
