I wasn't aware that the NRA gun down random girls at the abortion clinics...

I'm totally against the distribution of wealth. If I'm going to do work for my money, I don't want half my paycheck taken out in taxes and given to some guy who refuses to get a job. And to all the people who claim things about "well what if it's a single mother working two jobs". Two jobs is a considerable amount of money. What that person needs, if they're still impoverish at that point, is a financial plan. I'm sure they're spending money on things they don't need to. $100 cell phone bill for their 13 year old kid. $50+ cable bill. Eating out all the time rather than cooking meals. Brand new SUVs when they could get a more efficient used car. I've worked one job and I had well over enough money to support myself (and probably another) on it. And shouldn't the father be paying child support, or if they're divorced alimony?


Edit: I am pretty liberal on some issues though, like with freedoms. I'd like to see some drugs (that aren't harmful. Not like heroin) legalized, or at least decriminalized. I'm also very against censorship, or really any government interference besides necessities in my life. I'm sick of all this bureaucracy in the government too.

No... improverished people definitely do not make that much money.

How much money did you make?

When did small government turn into no government? Well, apparently, anarchy at that. I don't think any major political party endorses the total dismantlement of law and police forces.

How is it not relevant? You are reading it literally. Of course a GPA point cannot just be given. A GPA is earned and can not and should be simply transferred like that. The father thinks a lot more things should be like that, earned and not simply transferred. He's not making the suggestion seriously, he's making it just BECAUSE he knows that his daughter is a liberal. He's TRYING to trip her up and make her eat her words. Like, you know, "Well, you're such a big X so if that's a problem why not do THIS!"

Daughter: lul welfare, lol social security.
Father: fix this inequality.
Daughter: give up my shit for that? not fair!
Father: lol hypocrite, that's what my party thinks.

Small government is not liberal.

Of course not. Some of them borrow the money anyway. Have you seen the mortgage crisis?

Lol, I love the additions to this story.

EcHo, I wasn't calling you a moronic republican, i was calling you a moronic christian.

If you're an immigrant looking to start up a small business in America, you can take out a gigantic loan(+100k) from the government to for the start up. This is why you see so many gas stations owned my some random Indian guy.

You care to explain why? Careful on assuming things.

She's not really a democrat then. If that's how her character is supposed to be in the story then this story fails because it's characters are fucked up. And I don't see anything wrong with a democrat that supports welfare and social security but also doesn't want to get their GPA lowered. The two issues are vastly different regardless of the fact that they can metaphorically deal with the distribution of something.

Right. And I posted after that. Anonymous just responded from assuming of many things from my first post.

No, he responded with "EcHo, I wasn't calling you a moronic republican, i was calling you a moronic christian" because your initial reply to his post made no fucking sense.


What the hell does that mean?

This sentence right here is the reason why Anonymous then replies with:
And that reply is just a reiteration of his initial post:
Which you failed to address correctly in your first reply.

In other words, this post failed and was totally incomprehensible:

Whoever's fault it is, it isn't my responsibility to help them. Since I'm not a Christian I don't even need to respond to the helping your neighbor argument. Fuck my neighbors ;o


Yeah, Moose already said it..


The same crap could happen to a democrat (more likely actually since they'd be more accepting of getting abortions). If the daughter had followed the father's advice she wouldn't have been gunned down. I support freedom of choice when it comes to abortions (in any situation, not just rape), I'm just pointing out how flawed your story is.


Welfare and social security are basically equivalent to getting your GPA lowered (to help someone else). Having your GPA lowered takes away from how much money you could make. Welfare and social security do the same thing. I don't see them as being vastly different at all.

Guys. Guys.
Win.

Fixed.

Exactly. That's why the story sucks and comparing GPA to welfare is like apples and oranges.

Here's a story of the republican party:

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who dreamed of bombing Peru
He awoke with a fright
With his head in a bucket
And realized that his dream had come true--->

There was a man from Connecticut
Who had not the Northerner ettiquete
Everything that he touched
Seemed to buckle and bust
And why did we make him the President?

8 an hour, which was just a walk-in job. National minimum wage is going to 7.50 summer of 09 iirc.

Liberal as in independence and freedoms, not liberal as in democratic or socialist.

Try libertarian*.
