Radish posted:I really can't understand this logic at all. I mean I can get that they like ultra right wing Bibi over Obama, that makes sense. However the idea that Israel should be a priority over their own country is crazy to me, especially from people that roll themselves up in the Ultra Patriot persona. The idea is that you cannot betray Israel's interests for political expediency in America. What is the line that separates national interest from political expediency? Is it better to take a bad deal than bomb in response to no deal? Is bombing political expediency, or is it the national interest?

Hell if conservatives could name him, they'd probably prefer the UK PM over Obama.

DaveWoo posted:Every major Republican presidential candidate came out in support of Indiana's RFRA law, which would have allowed businesses to discriminate against gay customers. quote:You start out in 1980 by saying, "human being, human being, human being." By 1994 you can't say "human being" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like religious freedom law, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about DADT, and all these things you're talking about are totally freedom and morality things and a byproduct of them is [that] gays get hurt worse than heteros. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the homosexual problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to promote religious freedom," is much more abstract than even the gays in the military thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "human being, human being."

So he'd be cool with me bringing in my (totally not gay honest) pickup truck, doing repair work on it and then me not paying him if I didn't feel he "earned" his pay? What about mechanic's insurance?

Raskolnikov38 posted:44% of Americans too indecisive to just make up their goddamn minds already! Some of us intentionally register with neither party to make it harder for them to gerrymander everything. Sometimes I register R for the same purpose. Plus for polls rather than simple voter registration I still don't affiliate with either because they don't represent my interests. Maybe 44% of Americans feel the same.

Yes. Stop it. Stop using the extremely good counterpoint that if we're talking about deserving money, that no one in the whole world has ever done anything that would entitle them to the kinds of salaries that CEOs make. That is a good argument and therefore I don't want to hear it.

Why even bother. If you don't understand the value of paying employees a proper wage (as opposed to that captain of menial labour, Henry Ford, who famously advocated good wages), can't see how the welfare system subsidizes cheap owners as much as it supports the poor, and don't see the embarrassment of your country having salary ratios of CEO : average employee of 400+ to 1, what will ever convince you?
