you forgot to answer the question you piece of shit racist.

a black person walks into a store to buy medicine he needs to survive. the racist white store owner says "get out, i don't serve black people". who is peaceful and who is violent there?

if you get done with that one, i have another one for you. it's a true or false. true or false: everyone thinks you're a pedophile
The person who forces another neutral (non aggressive) person to serve them is the one who is breaking the peace.

While I share your sentiment that the racist is being a douchebag, that doesn't mean he has no right to refuse an interaction with somebody on his own property. Just because you want somebody to or need somebody to interact with you, doesn't obligate the other person to interact with you. That should be a mutual choice or it shouldn't happen.

I can't believe you'd force a sex worker to have sex with you. Well, actually I can believe it.

Some people would search thru the rubble because their motivations are to save human life etc.
I understand why someone would do it. I don't understand why someone should do it

Our government has shown us it won't protect us if we risk our lives during a catastrophe like 911 while they'll surely all take credit and claim they'll "never forget"..

If 911 happened again where you live, would you go be a first responder after what our government has shown what they're capable of when it comes to protecting first responders?

I know I sure as fuck wouldn't

Limbaugh this week when asked why Republicans don't care about fiscal conservativism now.


LIMBAUGH: Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore. All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as it's been around.
Of course, everyone was doing it, so why can't we continue to fuck everything up.
Nice logic.

You should study what the Governor of Alaska is doing to this state. The Koch brothers principles destroyed Kansas financially. Traditionally a Republican state they tossed Sam Brownback and the gang after they basically destroyed the state in the name of fiscal prudence. So where did they target next?

Alaska. Out of sight. Out of mind. The Koch brothers literally bankrolled his tour post election through the state giving “town halls” to explain how he was going to savage the state budget to deliver a “full PFD”. The check every Alaskan can get from a fund drawn from taxes on oil from state land. This is the “free check”’ you hear about. It’s been around $1600. Should be about $3000 but because of yadda yadda and this hocus pocus our state government by way of the duly elected legislature has been “stealing your PFD”. So he campaigned that he was going to “deliver a full PFD plus reparations for the money not paid out the last X years”.

To do this he’s literally gutting Alaska. Killed our ferry service to Southeast and Seattle. The only way to get vehicles here unless you fucking drive to the Alaska Highway. Killed Headstart and on and on and on. The state estimates 7000 jobs will be lost. We are already #51 out of 51 state economies and adding Puerto Rico and this was before this idiot. Now? Probably not $3K and if they’re lucky enough to get it this year it ain’t happening again.

However the destruction he’s causing will go on. He gutted the education system here. This from a fuck from the Lower 48 who was a goddamned school teacher and a fucking principal. Obviously where he got his king complex. The Koch brothers admitted they paid for all this only after being confronted with it by some of “the lying media” and the roadshow was only half over. But they finished cruising around telling us we’re ducked.

Now I don’t believe that Governor Hammond ever meant for this to turn this way. Further it was to keep native Alaskans a little more secure so they wouldn’t have to leave the state. Therefore this immigrant from Montana has never filed for the PFD and I never will. I’ll not be a part of the bleeding of the state.

You should hear all these ultra conservatives in the reddest of red states screaming that it’s the law and they “don’t care if the state doesn’t have the money”. Verbatim from an average idiot at a hearing here. The Governor has the guts to do this but not enough to even float the prospect of an income tax or a sales tax. Fuck the idiot who will squawk like a chicken “taxes are theft”. You sound stupid because you are stupid. Bet you were married before you discovered your legal name really isn’t Dummy like your dad swore it was.

Would you go into the next fire knowing you're putting your own health on the line, that the government won't be there to help you pay for whatever medical bills you might need, even though you probably just volunteered 10 years off your life expectancy to save complete strangers?

I can tell you straight up, I sure as fuck know I wouldn't. Not because I don't want to help people, not because I'm scared. But because if I do, and I get fucked up in the process, nobody will help me. So why would I, why would anyone bother?

People ran into those buildings knowing in their heart that America would take care of them. 18 years later, Republican congressmen have proved we won't. 9/11 first reseponders only matter when it's politically convenient, and that is sad and disgusting as fuck
What??? The first responders went in to save lives and not a thought was given about their safety as it should be. Yes it’s fucking awful that the government is brushing of their responsibility but that will not deter most from doing the right thing. Basically your saying (even though you deny it) that your safety comes before anyone else......sad. Helping others should be a selfless act and not based on your outcome, that’s why it’s called a selfless act. Now it’s the governments turn to step up.

Don't let the propaganda machinist get you riled up. As much as I find his economic ideas extremely idiotic Rand Paul did not block this from going through. He basically just stopped Kristen Gillibrand from being able to take credit for getting it passed.

Its still going through.

Each and every one of these men did something extraordinary that day. Something I can't say I'd be brave enough to do myself. And they paid the ultimate sacrifice for it.
that was my point, these people put their lives on the line and answered the call of duty unconditionally without any regard for their own safety and well being.
they responded without any apprehension what was pretty much a war zone like any determined loyal soldier on the front line would.
full compensation along with full lifetime medical and permanent benefits for them and their families is the least the government could and should do regardless of the cost.

Well, I mean, duh. You wouldn't do that.

You aren't in that profession.

Would you if you were
LOL You are always trying to bring me into your dumbshit argument.

Your missive was about you, child. You never signed up for the job. I mean, duh.

I never criticized others for doing their job like you did. As if they were fools. I don't have to tell you squat. I respect the men and women who put their lives on the line when they signed up for the job. You didn't sign up but then again you wouldn't. You said so yourself.

If 9/11 happened again, I'm sure the government would investigate it and find a reason to use it to attack another country (countries?) and to take away remaining freedoms domestically.

If I decide to help somebody of my own accord, I wouldn't have any expectation that other people are responsible for any injuries I suffer.

When you say "our government" what do you mean? If you aren't on board with what they're doing, yet you still feel they are "your government" why don't you just ignore them and be your own personal governor ? Why can't you do that ?

Asshole (trump edition) prefers those responders that didn’t get sick just like the incompetent prick prefers pilots who weren’t shot down.
I think I’d love Rand's neighbor though!
