Or if a drunk plows his/her Camry into me.............? Yeah that's it, just let it roll off my back. It's not that they get drunk or stoned or whatever that bothers me (or most people for that matter) it's that they start fights, shoot each other, break shit, crash their cars, spread std's, have illegitamate kids, poison themselves and die off, and other things that bothers most people because it causes incredible hassle.Quote:

Creepy. I paused at the point where Elijah is opening the comic book in the park to go read TNL and went to this thread first.Quote:

You will never be a success if you spend your time taking out everybody elses trash, some times you just have to roll your own.
Just remember libby, when you die, all these "needy" that you helped won't give a shit.
I never said anything about taking out anyone else's trash, just that my opinions aren't formed around myself. Everything you've said has been all about your little world, centered entirely around the fact that you don't like paying X amount of money for Y thing. I don't like taxes at all, I think every man should keep what he's earned, but that's not because I'm whiny that I have to devote a portion of my paycheck to things I need (police, public works, etc.) and people I may or may not have voted for. I can't really think of anything else you were bitching about to cite as an example.Quote:

Society is doomed to fail if people keep thinking about themselves. I understand human nature and the fact that people are greedy people but that doesn't stop me from thinking that everyone needs help and they should get it.

I don't know if I agree with it put that way. Yeah, everyone needs help. They should be given the means to obtain it, though, not the actual direct help. Let every man be responsible for himself, not dependent on others.Quote:

Biff is, like other neoconservative trash, of the belief that if you dont agree with everything Bush and his cronies say you hate America and want the terrorists to "win".Quote:

Well, we spend less on welfare queens than we do on foreign aid - combined the two is less than 5% of GDP. Fair tax is about fair tax, not tax raises to pay for more welfare (welfare was cut significantly by Clinton, who guys like Biff still hate). Its not about cutting taxes the government cant afford to cut. So dont fall for his bullshit. Guys like Yoshi and Biff, all they can think about is how much the government supposedly spends on foreign aid, and everyone with a brain laughs at how idiotic they are.Quote:

What about the time and money Congress wastes every year cycle on flag burning, internet gambling, gay marriage? Remember Terri Schiavo? That's all been going on under the watch of his boyfriends, the neocons. And it costs far, far, FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR more a year than any so-called "welfare queens" do.
No no, its handled like the sales tax now. One of the major problems of the tax code is the time and money it drains out of the economy each year. Its not just the time you do taxes. Its the time every corporation and every person takes studying options and contemplating the affect of taxes on every decision they make. The Fair Tax is designed to get rid of that.Quote:

Why Diff, is all the name calling necessary. I great professor told me that once you start name calling, you lose.
Believe whatever you want to believe I stated MY opinion, you want to increase taxes, try it, you'll lose. Everybody pulls for the underdogs.
I like Nixon and Ronnie because neither took any shit btw.
I still like your mom
Also it's probably not just random that Yoshi and I have far better jobs than you either, you either eat or you whine for supper.
Enough of politics, Many of you I have a difference of opinion, and none of us our going to change our minds, and I don't want to be thought of as a troll, so let's let it be.
