First of all, I am not "defending" against anything. Merely pointing out that posters on this thread don't seem to understand the mechanics and taxation of charitable organizations. I should also point out, if it's not already apparent, that I am reluctant to draw hard and fast conclusions...

I did -- #323.

Sorry, I must have missed it. Can you repeat it or direct me to your post?

Without looking at the sources directly, it's hard to know for certain, but I would suggest that you not confuse the audited annual report with the tax filing. Different sets of rules can lead to expenses and income being booked at different times or in different manners. As for the $1.0M...

I have read the comments here and elsewhere many, many times (all of these sorts of threads are very much alike). My point is that the "evidence" of what you see to be "clear abuse" and a "tax shelter" is based on a faulty understanding of how these sorts of things are commonly structured in...

Well, if there are, I haven't seen much evidence of it on this thread (or any of the dozens of others like it over the past couple of years I've been lurking here). As just one small example, there's the comment a couple of pages back decrying the double deduction from the "misuse" of the...

Sorry, you obviously have no idea about how charities work but, hey, don't let that stop you. I have tried to explain before, in much greater detail, but here's the short recap: Charities cannot, by law, engage in for-profit activities, such as selling exercise equipment. However, a...

I don't care enough about your argument to research, but I imagine it's safe to say that the cure rate for Stage 4 15 years ago was significantly less than 85%.

+100 Haven't seen the race (no video allowed here at work), but from everyone's description, it doesn't look good for AC. I don't see this incident as a parallel to the cobbles of S3, because the very point of the cobbles was to trap riders behind others (which is why I am one of those who...

True enough. But I think people were talking more about their impressions of him off the bike. Some sports fans are just into the game itself and couldn't care less about anything outside of that. Others (like me) need to feel a bit more invested in the players/riders. Sorry. :cool:

Ummm, I'm pretty sure Andy was making a funny.

Perhaps at one time, but not as much since Rupert Murdoch took over. :cool: Other news services haven't been picking up the WSJ/News Corp. stories (other than the initial report of Floyd Landis' allegations). I'll stop there before crossing over into Clinic territory.

Probably because the Flemish themselves refer to it that way. It's about as similar to Dutch as American English is to UK English is to Australian English -- common base and easily understood, but still enough differences to make you go "huh?" at times. :)

I admire his tremendous gifts as a cyclist, but I have to agree with the original poster. AC needs to man up somehow. He's stuck with the Mickey Mouse voice, unfortunately, but he could easily lose the lame "el pistolero" schtick. YMMV.

Shhhhh... they're on a roll. :rolleyes:
