What pisses you off about what is going on?

What's the difference between giving entitlements such as pensions to government employees, and giving entitlements such as health care to the "poor" who can't afford it? Absolutely nothing. The money is still coming from someone else.

There is only a difference between the two, in the mind of one who connects with some delusional foundation of ignorance.

Supporting the poor is the same thing as supporting the rich. The only difference is one has a higher/lower quantity of paper. To take money off the back of anyone, in order to give to another, based solely on their financial status is unethical conduct, period.


Secondly, we are not a Christian nation, we are a free nation. While religion is a free choice, it's ultimately a facade for those who abuse it's intent, and it's intent is abused when people like you, use the justification of forced charity, on the premise of religion. There is absolutely no higher level of hypocrisy, than one who embodies religion and it's "righteousness" in attempting to justify forced charity upon another human being. It's a complete fallacy, and empitomizes why religion is such a destructive force.

You make a good argument for private schools. Why would any person want to be forced to pay for an indoctrination they don't believe in ? Letting people choose which school they will support or not allows everybody to get what they want and none to be forced to pay for that which they don't want or don't use.

You view pensions? a previous agreement between employee and employer that a portion of payment for work performed is to be defered until after the employer is no longer workinig as an "entitlement"? Is a 401k an entitlement in your mind as well? how about a lunch break or 2 weeks vacation?

Money ALWAYS comes "from someone else" so long as we earn at different rates and pay different amounts in taxes - all taxation is redistribution.

If it contributes to the cause of order then it contributes directly to each and every citizen as all citizens profit from order in a society. If I force you to contribute to the defense of this country, is that extortion? If I force you to pay for services redered it is not extortion any more than your monthly electric bill is extortion.

Of course governments commit crimes, lots of them actually, some discovered and "punished" most not but that has no bearing on your claim that taxes are unethical.

Sure, why should person A be forced to pay to learn english? Indoctrination in your words is a byproduct of learning the fundamentals. One would hope that you don't believe those fundamentals are relative and that if I don't believe 8 + 2 = 10 then I should find a school that teaches otherwise.

I am not being sarcastic, I am indeed a Palin fan. I marvel at how she has gotten to where she has, I marvel at her ideas and ideology and I am a big fan of dominionists in general - that I am a big fan does not mean I take them seriously or that I would ever consider voting for them.

Those are beautiful pictures by the way. Now imagine, in a society where each is "left alone", that some guy builds a gold mine up on the hill there, and he finds it profitable to use mercury and acids to extract his gold and all those nasty items quickly find their way to the lake.

Funny thing, community, it takes lots of forms. No regulations, no government, no attention to reality and you get one rich guy who in the process of his getting rich made all the others poorer - in spirit. After all, the others don't "own" the beauty of the lake, they don't "own" the fish in that lake, the gold mining guy didn't actually harm anyone else did he? He just wants to be left alone to mine for and refine his gold.

What pisses me off is people who wear hats in restraunts.

I've even seen signs that said "please remove your hat", and people still wear caps and cowboy hats when they eat.



Take the fucking hat off dude.



Drives me nuts.

What pisses me off is people who don't understand that oil gives us much more energy per dollar spent than anything else, at this moment. Everything else is vastly more expensive.
Good luck paying for your pie-in-the-sky utopia.

Pisses me off when your gf of six years is sick all week, you of course have to do everything for her, than Saturday comes and you ask her to leave 15 minutes early for the casino, 2:30 instead of 2:45 and she says it is too much trouble. lol, she has nothing to do all day but it is too much trouble to leave 15 minutes early. So she suggest I take my own car and she will meet me there. What a jerk, just flat out a jerk. ugh
