you almost have to admire the long term dumbing down campaign in American Schools to make people receptive to the most murderous ideology of the last century. I give the left plenty of credit for their tactics and tenacity, for their finely-honed ability to fundamentally transform our nation at a level well underneath many people's radar. Folks paying attention and bitching about it like you and me don't matter - collectively we don't have a loud-enough voice to sound a national-level alarm. And so the sheeple keep grazing, contentedly chewing on their government cud (which, inconveniently for folks like you and me, is conveniently provided by folks like you and me). So under the radar they mostly are, and if too many sheep begin to catch on, distract 'em with a pic of a fat Kardashian ass (like there's any other kind), or the news that Miley Cyrus is now touring with a new-and-improved super-sized stage prop that would make John Holmes blush, or, if things get really, really desperate, accuse someone (or lots of someones; white cops are PERFECT for this) of racism; doesn't have to be true (and it seldom is), just the accusation - and the knowledge that ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/PBS/Pravda will run with it 24/7 for the next couple months - is enough. Anything to keep the sheeple culturally and morally anesthetized. So, back to your point above: perpetrating, in part, the fundamental transformation in public schools is brilliant. And brutally effective. ••••••• bastards.  | ||

HRC said her policies are basically the same as Obama. Are you really going to vote for Obama's third term? Really?  | ||

Republicans accusing Democrats of being "sheeple", that is classic!...as equally hypocritical in reverse! The two have become so disgustingly similar, yet the people who claim their affiliation to one, bicker with the other, with complete denial of the fact... A few/couple key points/ideas, does not form, nor justify, complete separation! | ||
| Reindog |
Only Democrats are similar to our POS POTUS and the criminal Clinton. Reid, Pelosi, Shumer, Biden, Emmanuel. They all are corrupt and dishonest. The Republicans have Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina, Christie and others....all great. Sorry, but you fail. Try again. | ||

Republicans accusing Democrats of being "sheeple", that is classic!... Buellmojo, if that is directed at me, I didn't accuse specifically Democrats of being sheeple; in my post above my comments were directed at the electorate in total. Yes, there are exceptions. If you want to compare the Democrat party to the Republican party in terms of corruption, I'll concede that ALL of the major Democrats are corrupt, and MOST of the major Republicans are corrupt (including, IMO, several of the players Reindog mentions in reply to your post). Put another way, I'm not aware of a single patriot on the D side; there ARE patriots on the R side, but they're vastly outnumbered by R's who are not. We have, in this country, ONE party, although we pretend there are actually two (or more, if you count the others). To my point: If you read in my post above that a Republican was accusing only Democrats of being sheeple, you interpreted my words incorrectly. And...I could have worded my rant more succinctly. The two [parties] have become so disgustingly similar... I couldn't agree with you more. Ferris | ||

Beullmojo. There is still a difference. It is far less than it should be, but the "they are the same" argument is a losing side one and a false statement. The loser argues there's no difference, ( so vote for the equally bad? ) and the winner does not. Simple, eh? Now, if you say politicians with an R or D after the name could both be corrupt guys and vote their wallet instead of actually representing their district, sure. If you claim that long term professional politicians are so dirty and unaccountable that it is nearly impossible to tell which party they are in........ I mostly agree. But the D old dirty prick is acceptable to the D leaders and voters. The R old dirty prick is acceptable to the Leadership of both parties but the voters are not so happy. ( please correct me if you are a D Voter who is disgusted enough with lying sacks like Hillary to change parties in protest ) In fact the whole "tea party" thing is a revolt against the R leadership. And they are fighting hard and dirty to keep their power. The most vicious attacks on conservative R candidates comes from the R leaders, not the D leaders or the Communist Party. I know of no such attempt at reform on the D ticket. Do you? | ||

tired of hearing about'gunshow loopholes' martin - we dont need 65k refugees All these rich people complaining about rich people And why do they think $15/hr is going to solve everything, idiots. Only could watch an hour of last nights debates | ||
| Aesquire |
"Gun show loopholes"= take away your rights and property. No other meaning. $25 hour minimum wage = totally forgot McDonald's is smarter than the legislature and will buy robots. Result? Less jobs. ( what? You say it's only $15? You haven't been paying attention. It wasn't $15 a few years ago. It'll be $95 a few years from now ) $9.95 big macs too, don't forget. Refugees? How about we conquer ISIS & let them go home? (Sorry, "conquer", "win", & "victory" aren't in the regime's pc vocabulary ) | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
The ignorant think that making 15 and hour will solve all their issues, not thinking about the fact that it'll cause higher unemployment and cost of items to rise Youre right, soon it'll be a 10 dollar big mac if everyone is making 15 an hour or more. Ignorant. | ||
| Reindog |
\sarcasm{I fully support $15/hr but prefer $25/hr to flip burgers. That is the path to six figure salaries for people like myself to build robots which will permanently eliminate these entry level jobs. When did a living wage to support a family become a requirement for a minimum wage job?} | ||

I have an idea,... instead of limiting the individual, or corporations profits...(the whole anti-capitalist thing about making more money than you thing..) why not make ALL lottery's in the USA,(mega/powerball etc etc) have a cap for winners. Say, anything over 10 million...goes automatically into an account for healthcare for all citizens of the USA to use?? (mainly the needy) There could be other lotteries for other things... Could there be a lottery for almost anything. Instead of nothing really, as it is now. keeping more people happy? I wonder how much money is spent on lottery and prizes given out... To me, that is money that I have no problem with Government being in control of vs personal/business profits. | ||
| Xdigitalx |
Ok,...thinking about that last statement... there would have to be a committee to oversee that money... LOL...oh never mind...it would never freaking work. | ||
| Reepicheep |
Anyone who feels strongly that every job should pay $15 per hour should go start a company and then hire people for $15 an hour. There is no better country than America to do exactly that. People doing that successfully would be hero's. | ||

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If someone wants to earn $15.00 an hour then they should do something WORTH $15.00 an hour. I grew up as poor or worse than most inner city kids today. I just got serious about education and worked my arse off. That lead to some college. That lead to a job in law enforcement. That lead to a job in computer programming. Now I supervise other programmers and various techie type people. In America it is possible, I'll living proof. | ||

When did a living wage to support a family become a requirement for a minimum wage job? when it's intended to be the only jobs? why not make ALL lottery's in the USA,(mega/powerball etc etc) have a cap for winners. Because it would mean diddle to the debt. You actually have to do the math. | ||

Good for ya Zane, thanks for sayin'! | ||
| Xdigitalx |
Because it would mean diddle to the debt. What debt are you talking about? 2.9 billion dollars per year could help with lots of bills for individuals or healthcare programs across the US,.. How about a planned parenthood lottery ... If you don't want to buy a ticket you will: A. never win a prize B. never be forced to support something you don't want to.

How about a planned parenthood lottery It would ease the population problem & make the Greenies happy. A good Socialist solution. Or.... George Bernard Shaw proposed that everyone should go before a board to justify their existence in a perfect Socialist Society. So your proposal makes perfect sense in context of a race where Bernie is popular. | ||

Your a funny guy. It could be just like the lottery we have now... which benefits senior citizens, and also, like the way different games of scratch offs spring up every few months and stick around till the prize money is gone. Why not have a lottery or scratch-offs that benefit other specific groups? Why just seniors? But Pokers players would keep 100% of their winnings because they earned it. | ||
| Aesquire |
Oh! to raise money, not to allow children! That's considerably less socialist! ( so much for Greenie approval ) In NY the Lotteries are supposed to fund all sorts of stuff, Mostly Education, and they make a profit. The money doesn't go to education, of course, it gets mis-appropriated all the time. The odds on the NYS Lotto are so high you are more likely to be hit by lightning. Twice. They already tax the winnings at more than 50%. Putting a cap on winnings would reduce interest in buying tickets, after all, "it's a dollar and a dream". They make serious money every time the Lotto ( or Powerball, etc. ) goes big money, as ticket sales go through the roof. A lot of people buy tickets only when it's "more than X million" ..... although lots of people buy habitually. But I'm all on board with targeted lotteries. Some work out well. | ||

Illinois can't even run a lottery. Winners are now getting IOUs! They've been way behind in tax refunds too. Someone I work with just got her refund the week before Thanksgiving. | ||

New York is only #2 on the corruption scale. Like Metropolis and Gotham City. I always assumed they were Manhattan and Chicago. ( more or less, metaphorically. ) Hours travel apart. ( I've read that in the Batman vs. Superman movie the relationship, physically is like San Francisco and Oakland. They just can't resist messing with canon... I'm guessing so they can tie the "Man Of Steel" movie story line in, and maybe a money shot across the bay ) | ||

I think Xdigitalx has a good idea. Some have long advocated to expand the voluntary contribution section of the Income Tax, to include pet aspects of the budget. Such as NASA, NEA, etc. Others want to allow you to choose where you want your taxes to go, by indicating a preference on the tax form. Don't get your hopes up on that one, Congress doesn't like it for obvious reasons. But lotteries might be nice. Especially if you advertise properly to appeal to folks charitable nature, and get more middle & upper income people to pay for pet causes. Promising idea. | ||

I just look at the simple idea of it without thinking of consequences. But when I walk in to store that has 20 different scratch off types with all these wacky games/idea's and ponder which one to buy. What got me wondering was, I know the powerball/mega collects the money in real time and adds to the pot,... but scratch off are different, the prize money is already there. EACH of these 1/2/3/5/10 dollar scratch offs all have a total amount of prizes right,... a total sum. 10 top prizes, 4 2nd prize 8 3rd prizes etc etc. (each game varies totaling 200k to 5 mil) If ... by chance only the winning tickets are sold .. (almost impossible) where does the prize money comes from?? Not from ticket sales because not enough tickets would have been sold, State Tax collected revenue? I only guess that possibly previous large ticket winners use some of their winnings and make/design a new scratch-off ticket and are the backers of the prizes, like an investment. (I have no idea obviously) But if so,... why not make some new types of tickets,... Red Cross could have a ticket, American Cancer Society could have a ticket, ASPCA, etc etc. Could be a seasonal thing. Many people DO want do something to help various causes... AND it would be VERY easy to contribute to a cause of your choice (although very small way buying one ticket) by also chancing on a winning ticket with modest prizes. Every time I go to certain stores now I am asked at checkout if I want to contribute to some cause. Adding 1 dollar or 2 or whatnot to your bill. Ticket would be another way to contribute to something of your choosing. eh... And.. if ASPCA started a lottery like mega or pwrbll, it would succeed for sure. Those sad commercials asking for 20 dollars a month ... ... just buy tickets that contribute 50% to the cause and have decent prizes. I bet that could raise more money, than the late night commercials, the tickets themselves in every lottery store in the country could do the advertising. Maybe when the Republican President changes the tax laws it could be more worthwhile? (flat tax??) |
