Hey guys, just swinging by to tell you that you're all wrong and that poor adults (not children) deserve to be ground into a fine powder to be used to pave the streets. Thanks! I find it pretty funny that Clay Aiken has a better chance at getting a seat than Steve Wiles. NC is kinda awesome sometimes. Fried Chicken: you have an url tag wrong in the OP and you didn't accredit me with the thread title

Ravenfood posted:I would love a source on this. Not being facetious, I really would. AP article: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/6418513/ns/politics-voting_problems/t/machine-glitch-gave-bush-extra-ohio-votes/ quote:COLUMBUS, Ohio — An error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said. Bush didn't steal Ohio or anything, but there was definitely some fuckery going on. E: to expand a bit more, I was being facetious and piling on the false equivalency that birthers are the exact same as people who say that the 2000 and 2004 elections had some Messed Up poo poo. The primary difference is that one is based within reality and the other is not. Phone fucked around with this message at 15:45 on May 9, 2014 |

The amount I've gotten paid versus how hard I worked (with bonus how frustrated I was) is completely inversely proportional. I'm going to go fuse with the loveseat downstairs and passively become a millionaire.

Hey guys, just swinging by to tell you that it's hard to fix systematic abuses by institutions against individuals and an entire generation of Americans. But they dressed like they were asking for it and it's easier to blame them, so

The best thing about these new scams is that you have to sit through 45 minutes of "gosh darn, I'm so mad at X and I'll tell you a secret" before they actually tell you what they're selling.

Yeah. That's why we're talking about him. I really do like the defense of "it was a joke!" when it comes to wiretapping an elected official.

Who are you arguing against? I mean, no one is arguing that soldiers get the short end of the stick more times than not; however, the original comment you got all pissy about isn't exactly false. If you want, I can break down effectual's post into a 7-layer mexican bean dip.

- Get into a "war" against an ideology - Push for said war using poo poo that was just straight up false (WMDs) - - Mmmhm, weird the locals don't like their poo poo getting kicked in - Shoot at browns Say what you will about hindsight, but willingly signing up for the military given the circumstances of the past decade is kind of a good argument for "you're accepting a paycheck for a definite nonzero chance at being able to use your rifle". Is it a crass statement, sure. The second part about how veterans are special citizens you're playing into 100%. I work with a bunch of vets and anyone who pays the least amount of attention (as opposed to just ARE TROOPS lip service) knows of the whole civilians versus soldier thing. It's just straight up classism, it's nothing new or exciting; a different coat of paint on the same poo poo. You also have to consider the fact that he's using the same type of language people use about poor people on welfare and whatnot. It's just a permutation. By the way, I understand that being in the military is the Hardest Thing in the World and that No One Could Ever Comprehend. I mean, it's really hard signing a contract for 4 years of constant employment, having your housing subsidized, getting free college afterwards, and all of the other benefits. Yeah, you might get shot at and maimed, but you knew that going in because we're actively at war with an ideology. Nobody is arguing that benefits being cut for veterans isn't awful. Most people in D&D understand the whole idea about environmental elements being out of people's control. It isn't an individual soldier's fault that he's permanently disabled from an IED going off. It isn't an individual homeless person's fault that he's mentally ill and cannot get the healthcare that he needs.

Boon posted:Everyone got pretty caught on the whole "life on the line" thing. I'd argue, and if you read my post, that it's a pretty small part of it. It's the time commitment. It's the being away from life that is the real sacrifice. Oh OK. Well I wouldn't know anything about working that hard. I worked overnight stocking shelves at a grocery store full time while going to college for 4 years. I really can't comprehend the sacrifice because I would work from 9pm to 7am and then be in class a few hours later taking 15+ credit hours a semester. I can't really emphasize with only have 3 hours of sleep a night and having no spare time. I mean, I guess I could have quit my job. I think being homeless while trying to go to college is a good alternative.

In prison you still get 3 hots and a cot. You can also work on being the pinnacle of human physique, or whatever Scalia said.

I'm not begrudging him. I don't think he's a bad dude or anything, and he has said multiple times that everyone should have similar benefits. His thesis is NO ONE ELSE CAN EMPATHIZE and shoots down any other example of hard work because it wasn't special hard work.
