the only mention of America in these articles is the treatment of the Indians by the settlers and later the government.
i am not defending our actions abroad. i'm sure there are many shameful things going on, but i don't think we're even close to the only ones that should be hanging our heads.
i'd like to be able to disband the cia and the nsa. as soon as china, russia, iran, iraq, kuwait, north korea........and several others, dismember their equivalents and call all their agents home, we should do the same.

I did mention the time period after 9/11. I'm well aware that there have been plenty of mass killings throughout history.

A draft of a 2007 combined World Bank and SEPA report stated that up to 760,000 people died prematurely each year in China because of air and water pollution. High levels of air pollution in China's cities caused to 350,000-400,000 premature deaths.

Oh, wait that's stockholders. My bad.

Touché, Sir!

I want these people to pay taxes. Our country worked best with high taxes on wealthy people.

No one NEEDS a billion dollars. It's just a weapon to be used to control others.

I agree, no need for caps lol. I also agree with taxes. What I don’t agree with is caps on pay only because I think that is a slippery slope we don’t want. But yes tax the fuck out of em lol. Then maybe the high compensation will be all for not and it will transfer some of the wealth to the work force that actually makes the company .

sports franchises should have to pay a 50% tax. they're nothing but a huge luxury, and should be taxed as such. 25% to the state they're in, 25% to the fed. and the players should be taxed just like anyone else, (not saying they aren't) the more you make, the more you pay.
the tax rate ought to slide up to 40% for the top 1% . they apparently like making money, they ought to enjoy the opportunity to make enough to pay their taxes.
no more offshore shelters, no more financial wiggling, if you reside in this country, you pay taxes on your total yearly income. if you do business in this country, your business pays taxes on it's total yearly income.
no more tax breaks to incentive businesses, if no one is offering them, that makes it a fair playing field.
i don't have a problem with people who work hard and make themselves a lot of money. if you feel that drive, go for it.
what i do have a problem with is weaseling out of paying your fair share of the bill. you don't get to use this country to make yourself wealthy, then get out of giving uncle sam his cut. i say that's close to treason. and i say tRUMP is treasonous for that reason, among many others

Well said President Rodger, you got my vote. Well you would if I was American, fuck I can’t even visit .

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

that's ok, first thing i do when i get in office is offer a new trade deal with canada, and stop giving a shit about weed....
ok, second thing i'd do, first thing is start recruiting nasty people to send to russia to fuck up targets of opportunity

 

[Fogdog]

We aren't worse??

Name another country that's killed a million innocent civilians in the last 20 years.

ANYWHERE.

You cite US misdeeds as if it they apply to Russia's aggression against Baltic States and land taken by force from Ukraine and Georgia. Can you explain the connection?

They're fat because all that shit hole serves is processed foods that are 60% fat, 10% salt and 30% soybean.

not arguing with you....but they deep fry it, and cover it in butter, gravy, or cheese, or all three.....

 

[TacoMac]

Yes they do.

I ate there only once years ago. The grits tasted like paste, the eggs tasted like paste and the bacon tasted like cardboard. I don't know how anybody eats that shit.

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

with my stomach, i don't go out to eat. if i go out with friends i just get a drink and talk to them while they eat. pretty much every restaurant i've been to has been the same, it all looks like shit, and having been a cook before, i can see how they're cutting corners and not doing things right. but i normally just drink my drink and let my friends enjoy their "food"

 

[TacoMac]

Same here.

My wife doesn't like going out anymore because my food is better. About the only place we go anymore is Kurt's. It's a German restaurant not far from here. I've been eating there for 25 years. It's the real deal. Pricey, but worth it.

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

when i was a kid there was a restaurant in west acre's mall in fargo, called the old mill. they had decent food on the menu, but they had a buffet, with roast beef, german potato salad, latke, spaetzle, homemade mashed potatoes with a little cheese....me and my dad both would go through at least three times.
they also had wooden floors, and big baskets of in the shell peanuts, and jars of homemade pickles on the tables.....
damn it, now i'm nostalgic....

 

[TacoMac]

Damn. I'd like that place.

Hmmm so it’s changed then? It’s been 20 years lol. We mostly stopped to exchange novels on tape for the long drives south lol. It gets pretty boring seeing the same shit every 3 weeks down and back. Also I wasn’t fat then, am now though lol. Oh well, no worries now unless Roger gets elected lol.

 

[Budley Doright]

but, they don't have poutine.........

I used to get the catfish or meatloaf lol. Not a huge fan of poutine, that’s a separatist plot to kill English with heart disease .
