If you don't understand who is wrong in that case, the law or the people,
you don't understand anything in relation to morality.
You defended the war with Iraq, saying Saddam Hussein was a horrible dictator.
How about his laws then? What's the difference?
This is not killing, this is punishment for breaking a law.
Now understand, I DO agree that the law is a bit harsh. BUT it was probably rooted from a good idea and went to far.
Think about it,2 people get close while dancing, this prompts sexual arousal which then prompts sex, which then leads to babies. Now, some countries just let the women stop in at the clinic on the way to Walmart and take care of the baby, but perhaps in iran they don't allow that. They try to prevent it from happening at all.
Our government does not rule Iran. OUr constitution and ideas are not accepted there.
So for good or bad,it is none of our business what goes on there.
Should we allow Irans people to tell us how to do something?
There comes a point and time that you have to learn to butt out. IS that not the very thing gays have been telling straight people for so long? Butt out? Well perhaps we need to butt out of irans bussiness. and let iran run it' self.
IF the people get fed up,they will pick up a frying pan,a Ak-47 or a stick and they will rise and take action.
If not, then they must be happy./

I just can't fathom any woman dancing with you.
Maybe you would have preferred being born in Iran.
You obviously prefer theocratic imposed modesty over freedom.
"To much motion and effort with no fruitful outcome.I can cut firewood or something"
Do you just dislike intimacy, because it doesn't bring home the bacon?
Maybe something bad happened in your childhood, that makes you dislike intimacy.
That would explain your general distrust of people too. Or you have PPD.
"I want to work that hard and have something to show for it later."
That is the most hollow life-goal you can have. Did no one ever tell you that
money can't buy happiness? Also, it's a very risky life-goal, especially in the US. One mistake or accident can screw up your life-goal. If that was your only
life-goal and it didn't work out, what reason to live is there left?
Even if you work hard and make it happen, if money was your only life-goal,
you would still be miserable. That's why wealthy people never have enough.
They've reached their life-goal, but it didn't make them happy. They only keep moving the goal post, in the hope that wealth can ever bring them happiness.
It's pretty sad actually. If their endeavor wasn't so exploitative on other people
and nature, I would feel sorry for them. They are victims of your stupid greedy culture too. However, they are also the culprits.
Unless you sell your vegetables, a garden is just a rewarding hobby that takes a bit of work. Not all work "brings in the bacon" it brings satisfaction.
My attempt at a relationship did scar me pretty bad I will admit.
The reason being bothered by being ask to dance is not that I want to be born in iran, I enjoy MUSIC. Not the movement. And the dancing and clapping and hollering, always got to loud after a while to really enjoy the good music ,so I just stay home and listen to XM radio or youtube. Of course I get tired of the prostate ad's on youtube.
If a woman's hair is coming out from under her hijab, they just fucking kill her.

And then you say 'Well when you break the law,you do the time?'
Iranians are protesting for their freedom and you defend their 'law'.
You are defending SHARIA LAW!!!
Your government didn't rule Iraq either, but you still attacked them.
I'm not asking to attack Iran, I'm asking you TO SUPPORT FREEDOM!
And you're just defending one foolish argument, with even more of them.

Trump cunt decides she now wants to use a dildo. 😈
It was that despicable representation of hatred, the flag of the treasonous and Confederacy
At least one good thing about her.
BTW. In one of your posts you say Carpetbaggers where not presented in school. During junior high and highschool, American History where required courses. I remember studying post Civi War h Ii story and the resulting Carpetbaggers and what they did to the Southern economy. I don't know what your curriculum was, but, all my peers are well versed in that period of American History.
I seriously doubt the word carpet bagger is in a "modern" history book used in a public school. I hope I am wrong,I hope they teach history thru and thru,but I doubt it.
At least I learned something new.
'Opportunistic Northerners who come to the Southern states to exploit the local populace for their own financial, political, and/or social gain' are WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS BY THE SOUTH now. They give them huge tax-cuts and tax benefits,
to build their Amazon warehouses, Google data-centers, big oil pumping rigs and maybe soon the Twitter headquarters, to exploit and pollute the local population.
They should not be forgotten either. But Germany learned from their mistakes.
No one is demanding to put up the Nazi Swastika flag on the Reichstag.
That's why we can mourn the victims of Nazi ideology on both sides.
The southern racist, anti-freedom ideology is still alive and flourishing.
That's why the liberty4all side need to keep fighting, until it's gone.
And the liberty side cannot mourn the victims of the anti-liberty ideology,
on both sides, until the side propagating it has learned their lesson.
As long as that side still sees the Confederate flag as a symbol to defend,
that side has not learned their lesson yet.
They were not free at home before they came here either,they were at war with other tribes,they were sold off by other tribes,they were running from wild animals,dieing of strange illness's and so on. Look at their decendants now. Lexus,gold teeth,good health,fine homes,fine clothes,and they still whine. Africa is ready when they are if they don't appreciate their ancestors sacrifices.
Being enslaved should be enough for anyone to see that they were horribly treated, but, there's more. The treatment of slaves in the United States often included sexual abuse and ****, the denial of education, and punishments like whippings. Families were often split up by the sale of one or more members, usually never to see or hear of each other again. Enslaved people "desperately sought freedom".
While 180,000 African-American soldiers fought in the United States Army during the Civil War, no slave, not one, fought as a soldier for the Confederacy.
Slaves were punished by whipping, shackling, hanging, beating, burning, mutilation, branding, ****, and imprisonment. Punishment was often meted out in response to disobedience or perceived infractions, but sometimes abuse was performed to re-assert the dominance of the master (or overseer) over the slave. Slave overseers were authorized to whip and punish slaves. One overseer told a visitor, "Some Negroes are determined never to let a white man whip them and will resist you, when you attempt it; of course you must kill them in that case."A former slave describes witnessing females being whipped: "They usually screamed and prayed, though a few never made a sound." The branding of slaves for identification was common during the colonial era; however, by the nineteenth century it was used primarily as punishment. Mutilation of slaves, such as castration of males, removing a front tooth or teeth, and amputation of ears was a relatively common punishment during the colonial era, still used in 1830: it facilitated their identification if they ran away.
Any punishment was permitted for runaway slaves, and many bore wounds from shotgun blasts or dog bites inflicted by their captors. "The punishment of deviant slaves was decentralized, based on plantations, and crafted so as not to impede their value as laborers. Whites punished slaves publicly to set an example. A man named Harding describes an incident in which a woman assisted several men in a minor rebellion: "The women he hoisted up by the thumbs, whipp'd and slashed her [sic] with knives before the other slaves till she died.
Medical care was poor. A majority of plantation owners and doctors balanced a plantation need to coerce as much labor as possible from a slave without causing death, infertility, or a reduction in productivity; the effort by planters and doctors to provide sufficient living resources that enabled their slaves to remain productive and bear many children; the impact of diseases and injury on the social stability of slave communities.
Slaveholders had no legal obligation to respect the sanctity of the slave's marriage bed, and slave women— married or single – had no formal protection against their owners' sexual advances. ...Without legal protection and subject to the master's whim, the slave family was always at risk. Owners of enslaved people could legally use them as sexual objects. Therefore, slavery in the United States encompassed wide-ranging **** and sexual abuse, including many forced pregnancies, in order to produce children for sale.

Africans played a direct role in the slave trade, kidnapping adults and stealing children for the purpose of selling them, through intermediaries, to Europeans or their agents.Those sold into slavery were usually from a different ethnic group than those who captured them, whether enemies or just neighbors.[citation needed] These captive slaves were considered "other", not part of the people of the ethnic group or "tribe"; African kings were only interested in protecting their own ethnic group, but sometimes criminals would be sold to get rid of them. Most other slaves were obtained from kidnappings, or through raids that occurred at gunpoint through joint ventures with the Europeans.
Africans lived in villages in Africa. They did not have to fear wild animals unless venturing into the woods, much like us now.

"Lexus,gold teeth,good health,fine homes,fine clothes,and they still whine. Africa is ready when they are if they don't appreciate their ancestors sacrifices." This statement alone shows how little you know about the African/American community. If you are not a racist, you sure are close to it. At the very least, you parade an ignorance about what slavery is. You also fail to grasp that today's African/Americans don't own anything to the white man. They got what they have by the sweat of their brow and the blood spilled fighting for their civil rights.

People could write back then. They have records about how slaves were transported from Africa and how many of them died. They were tied up for months in the hold of a ship. There are records on how long the slaves lived, after they were sold. Some slave owners kept very precise records and some didn't, but there's other data to determine the death-rate for those, like census data and the numbers of slaves that were sold, which were archived meticulously (it was a business). There are many mass graves of slaves archeologically examined.
It's possible to determine the age of bodies found and in some cases their cause of death.
There is massive amount of scientific research on the history of slavery.
But you don't know and don't care. If science paints a picture that you don't like, you just deny science. You prefer the uninformed opinion of some politician or paid political activist. And you are averse to knowledge in general.
Africa is still being completely exploited by the west. We take all their natural resources for almost nothing and make them pay for ever for the debt that the west imposed on them. Their corrupt leaders are maintained by our leaders. When there is a war in Africa, we only help the side that most bows to our wishes. And of course white people in South Africa maintained 'apartheid' until recently. Africa is still mostly a slave continent. We are not there to enslave them in person anymore, we just enslave their countries.

Read the line in yellow at the end.
Is that something I should be surprised about?
Horrible crimes are performed on both sides in every war, even when one side is fighting freedom and the other side is fighting to keep slavery. It doesn't condone the horrible crimes, but it doesn't eliminate that one side was fighting for freedom either. What do you think is happening between Russian soldiers and Ukrainian defense fighters now? The Russians are brutally murdered too. Do you think they are kissing them to death?
"25% of slaves that followed the union army died"
Because they joined the fight maybe? A war creates casualties.
"alot of slaves stayed at the plantations after being freed"
Some had to work off the debt, as compensation to their owner's loss of ownership. Many others didn't have anywhere to go. It's hard to make it on your own, if you have NOTHING, in a world were people hate you. So their slavery turned into jobs at exploitative wages. They did not advance much in life, but at least they had some future to look forward to and some rights to make their own decisions. There is a difference between being poor and being cattle.
Don't you understand freedom or just not when it involves former slaves?
I cannot read any line in Yellow, but I don't care about the words of Robert E Lee either. Not much of a neutral observer, don't you think?
At that time it seemed logical but it didn't work.
Maybe he fought courageously, but I'm sure some Nazi generals did too.
Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel unconditionally surrendered for Germany, probably saving many lives. I'm sure he knew he was going to executed when he did, and he was. His last words were: "I call on God Almighty to have mercy on the German people. More than two million German soldiers went to their death for the fatherland before me. I follow now my sons – all for Germany." He was doing what he considered to be right. But I don't trust his words on how they treated the Jews. I consider that the same thing.
In any case, General E. Lee, even if he was less of a bastard than Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, fought for the right of rich assholes to keep slaves.
So I don't trust his opinion on matters of slavery. Because he was wrong,
just like Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel.
He was stripped of his citizenship after his surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. On 1975 it was posthumously restored.
Taking down statues of traitors or mass-murderers is not erasing history,
it's suppressing the ideology that resulted into that history, so it doesn't repeat itself.
You are the one rewriting history, by whitewashing it, so you won't learn anything.

They at most give them puberty blockers. That's reversible.
And that's after a long period of evaluation.
Most transgender kids show that they're transgender very young.
That's years of confirmation, before puberty blockers even are necessary.
Our top-model Loiza Lamers knew she was a girl and not a boy at age 6.
Her transition operation was at age 18.
And of course, she didn't need puberty blockers, before puberty started.

And I doubt there is much money being made,you haven't saw the place once the illegals leave. May not be worth rebuilding.
And I Doubt this is the only place this waste is happening.
It is 1 thing to come here asking for help.But when you waste that help,and fight and fuck and tear up everything,that is when you should be sent back to where ever the hell you came from.And all that sex in the hall ways is only leading to even MORE babies to have to feed because once they fall out of their mothers worn out holes, they are citizens, for the country to keep up.
I can't believe you can't comprehend waste
And another thing,there were plenty of homeless people already in New York that could have been put up in those hotels with that SAME federal money. Why are citizens being denied this luxury and only the illegals or whatever the fuck is ok to call them get it all free?
'
I didn't change the subject on the thread you made,I started this 1 to show that you aren't the only 1 asking questions.
that can't get answers rather they make sense or not.
I know the world is dangerous.and until people are deterred from harming each other and learn to value life, nothing will change, except maby the tools if your type of folks have their way.
Some of their money should be redistributed to poor people or, better yet, by creating new sustainable conditions for the welfare
of the poor. Nobody should own more than, say, 10,000,000,000, that is like owning 10 million luxurious houses each 10 million dollars worth. It should be illegal to have that much money. It's too much and such people are a threat to the stability of a nation (because they can, for example, pay politicians, buy armies , etc).
That's the sustainable solution.
Together with an obvious disease: there are too many people on this planet. We should go down to at most 5 billion people by asking people not too have too many children.
He has literally bankrupted 2 countries.
But he gets a pass because he supports liberal causes.
A conservitive leaning person of his caliber would be hunted down by Seal team 6 like a terrorist.
That's true. That is the problem I'm addressing all the time.
If by your reference to a 'Datcha', you imply that Russia is, or ever was the most socialistic country; it isn't and it never was. It was at most communist; an authoritarian government controlling everything. Socialism means full democratic control of the PEOPLE. Russia never had that, it was always controlled by the wealthy elite and it still is now. The people never had any power and even now Putin does some sham elections, they still have no power. The most 'socialistic' countries are the Scandinavian countries. And there are the least starving and homeless people in the world there. When people refer to Venezuela, they know nothing. That's a corrupt state run by oil barons, an oligarchy is not socialism.
The people have no power at all.
A free market is part of capitalism. It doesn't mean that everything is owned and controlled by corporations. But who is owner of the farm, or the mortgage of the farm or who owns that mom and pop shop, who collects their rent, who controls the money you pay with or the method you pay by. Where did the farm buy their seeds, or the manure. Who competes with that farm and mom and pop shop, determining the price you are willing to pay, where does your money come from?
When there is an economic crisis, who gets bailed out with your tax-dollars,
that self-pick farm, the mom and pop shop, or big banks and corporations?
In all those steps, corporations have lots of influence over what you think is an uncontrolled free market.
In the past, everyone was exploited. We come from a time of lords and serfs.
It's true that people are more free to be happy now, but don't be complacent, because your freedom is fragile and the time of lords and serfs is closer than you think. For many uneducated working people, it's already a reality that is almost inescapable. They are living in their car, on the parking lot of the factory, because they don't have money for a house and they work too many hours to travel home anyway. That bar of exploitation is moving up, to more people we used to call the 'middle class'. How many jobs do you know, that used to pay enough to house and feed a whole family and now doesn't pay enough for one person? Are there less people doing those jobs now? Or are there now just more people with jobs that don't pay enough to house and feed them?
Check these out.
A near-record 22,077 single adults slept in shelters each night in October 2022. Over the course of City Fiscal Year 2022, 102,656 different homeless adults and children slept in the New York City Department of Homeless Services (DHS) shelter system. This includes 29,653 homeless children.
Did you read that? over 29,000 homeless KIDS! IN 1 city.
No resources to house them except in "shelters". BUT suddenly when some of bidens puppets are shipped in from the border, there is 1000's of dollars to pay for hotels,food,and etc.
WHY???
Citizens first, America FIRST.
Instead of waiting for illegals to get dropped on them? Hell they coulda sent the money to mexico and the immigrants coulda blown it there.
Hell I would learn a few phrases to if it meant me staying in a 400 dollar a night hotel for free how ever long I wanted to.
What is the word for Ukrainian coyote?
Central america has been in rock throwing mode long before most immigrants were born. So their parents knew the score and shoulda kept their pants up and not brought kids into that world.
Their life already sucks and then you deny them sex too.
Why do you think I am pro-choice? Because sometimes contraceptives fail and then I don't want people, who are in no shape to raise children, being forced to bring kids into a horrible world.
You understand the last part, but fail to understand that people should have a choice, better than the one you're offering.
But like I said before, Republicans want to ban contraceptives too.
Isn't 200 billion enough for them to start thinking about 'the citizens'?
It's your idea of capitalism, that the wealthy run the country, right?
So, how much more do they need to have, before you give them some responsibility?
A trillion? Ten trillion? 99% of all the money? 100%? WHEN????
If the wealthy don't have that responsibility, than who?
You want to give them all the power, but no responsibility?
Do you see the recipe for disaster now?
Does Elon build all of his cars? Does he do all the design work and welding? No,he hires people for that and pay them very well.
Without those 2 people,how many 1000's would be working elsewhere,for less money,if at all?

So these rich people do take some responsibility for the citizens.The citizens that are willing to get educated and work. Not the 1's that want to lay around at starbucks drinking 10 dollar latte's while hoping sleepy joe erases their college debt from their useless degree.
Oh,by the way,have you forgot Nuero link? You know the company Elon started to design brain implants for the blind and so forth?To help the disabled?

These illegals were staying at 1 of the 400 dollar a night hotels by the way,on taxpayers dime.
What were they going to do with 12,000 dollars worth of stuff from a fancy store? I doubt they were going to wear it.Probably shuttle it to a 3rd party for about 400 bucks to be sold at the flea markets somewhere
A few democrats may actually take time to learn the truth and may work in a positive way to a solution. Until he got a bunch of the illegals bussed to him the Mayor of new york did not give 2 shits about the struggles of other citys and states. Now he does. That is what you need. Instead of being "woke" WAKE UP!
You blame the Democrats, but, what do you think they'll be able to do? You think McCarthy and the other Republicans in the House will let the Biden administration come up with a solution? Not happening.
As for what they could do, CLOSE THE FUCKING BORDER .
There is no war down in central america right now,so no reason for asylum.
Afte a accident with a angle grinder I had to start using a different type with a trigger switch that would cut off on it's own if it slipped from my hand. I didn't have that poor grinder 2 months and it fell off the frame I was welding on and broke. I took it back, told the lady it fell on the floor,she said go get another. a 60 dollar grinder replaced,and I renewed the warranty for around 10 bucks. well worth it.Do it with about anything I buy there now.

The whites didn't go chase down the people they inslaved. They bought or traded for them from OTHER BLACKS in africa.
If whites were to lazy to work their own farm land,what makes you think they would run thru the jungles to chase after workers?
So teach the truth, the WHOLE truth.
Also,teach the fact that even Robert E Lee said it was inhumane to free the slaves without education,trades or ways to support themselves.
You don't hear that.
All you hear is the simple part,they were not "free".
Also teach the fact that the slaves were well fed, clothed, housed. UnLike the conditions they had in africa. naked ,starving, ridden with sickness and diseases.
NOT unlike the folks there still are today. The african people are now being used by the chinese in mines and such and paid little.Not much different than slavery.
not only are they used but are also being robbed.
So nothing really has improved,only moved
Thinks saying, "I'm sorry" ,is enough.

The Roman Catholic devotion of praying the Rosary is not a part of the Orthodox Christian Tradition, as this devotion in its present form dates from about the 15th century—hundreds of years after Roman Catholicism separated herself from the Orthodox Church.
CAT
I am Russian Orthodox Catholic. My Grandmother came from Russia. Around 1000AD, the Roman Catholics broke with the Orthodox Catholics. About 400 yrs later, in the fifteenth century, praying the rosary became popular and prevelent in the ROMAN Catholic church. We, Orthodox Catholics never did use it. So, in answer to your question, I never had one to throw away.
There is a small branch of the Catholic church in Russia (1/2 % of Russians are Catholic), but you seem to be neither Orthodox -- as explained in the first paragraph -- nor Catholic.
There are, of course, hundreds of branches of christianity nowadays, and new ones pop up frquently, so I may just be ignorant about the existence of the "Russian Orthodox Catholic" branch. (According to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity only registered users can see external links there are 45,000 branches.) A quick search on the Internet revealed nothing a propos your denomination.
Just wondering, I'm curious.
Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox Catholicism ( centered in Constantinople) tenuously co-existed during the first thousand years or so. Around 1040 AD, they split up ( called the Great Schism).
A few years before, in the 10th century, Vladimir Sviatoslavich the Great (who ruled Kievan Rus' from 980 to 1015) is famous for Christianizing this territory during his reign for political reasons. When the split occured, this part of Christianity remained part of the Eastern Orthodox Catholicism. Russian and Greek Orthodox Catholicism are two sects of the same Christian Orthodox religion. The correct name is Eastern Orthodox Catholics. The Russian Orthodox Church was established in Russia, hence, the name. I belong to the Russian Orthodox Catholic church because of birth. Like all other religions, small sects practice unique rights and have slightly different beliefs in the operation of the sect, but, not the main RELIGIOUS Beliefs.
So the answer is that Russian Orthodox Catholic is the same as what is more commonly known as Russian Orthodox, that is, only registered users can see external links

Greed is in the human genes,
You have more rocks than me,so WHACK I take your rocks.
You have a bigger drumstick than me from that buzzard Ug killed,I whack you and take your drumstick,
been happening for eons.
can I conclude that you do think the 'no religion' part is viable?
Or the 'imagine there's no countries' part?
There is a lot of evil in human genes. Humanity has already conquered a lot of its evil. I have hope that greed can be conquered too. The first step is teaching guys like you to stop worshiping greedy narcissist bastards. Because it might be impossible to eradicate greed from our genes, but that's not necessary.
We just need the rest of humanity to work together to stop the greedy narcissist bastards from taking everything.
And you keep believing, because the people who don't want it tell you it is.
What seems really impossible in this world is getting people like you to stop believing that people who do nothing deserve the same as those that do.
With your mindset those that take risk and work hard don't deserve anything for their efforts ,therefore taking away any motivation.
You think it's impossible, because the rich and their minions tell you so.
When everyone thinks good things are impossible, it becomes impossible.
Just like when you think that you will not amount to anything, you will fail.
Low expectations result in low results.
It's just a stupid strawman that I think people who do nothing deserve the same as those that do. It's the other way around; you think people who do nothing, except for being wealthy, should get everything.
I think people who work hard deserve to have a good living standard and you think it's OK that there are poor people who work 40 hours/week or more.
As long as there is not just ONE wealthy asshole who owns EVERYTHING, they will keep exploiting their workers, to be the most wealthy asshole of them all. Their greed is an illness that has taken over their brain.
Those are the people that phart worships like gods and wants to give the power of gods to. That's dumb, because to them he is even more worthless than the working people they want to exploit, to the point of starvation. That's why he doesn't get the healthcare he needs. They only want healthcare for working people, and everyone else to die quickly, because they only cost money.
But he has been indoctrinated to want those people to control his life.
It will be the death of him. But at least they feed his implanted hate and fears
of e.g. immigrants, transgenders and unintended pregnant women.
You don't think they have possessions? How about Kim, he owns everything.
And maybe you don't understand, but North Korea is a country and they are prepared to kill anyone who crosses their borders without authorization.
How is that 'nothing to kill or die for'? North Koreans are dying like flies for
their believes, their divine leader and over his country and his possessions.
Your arguments don't hold water.
You just assume John Lennon was a communist and therefore he was talking about a communist state. He wasn't, every communist state failed miserably at turning those dreams into a reality. Maybe some managed to eliminate religion, but they exchanged it with other dogmas (=religion) and not with reason. And they definitely didn't eliminate possessions. The ruling elites just took everything from everyone. That's not 'sharing all the world'.
So explain why you think those are nightmarish values, without making stupid comparisons with authoritarian regimes, that don't have any of those values.
That's what you think, because you live in America.
Socialism means that 'society rules', not the government. The government should only exist as a tool to share resources efficiently. It's shouldn't be the topdown structure that you are used to, but a bottom up structure.
'The downtrodden' only exist, because people are exploited by the wealthy,
for profit. Labor, skills and aspiration is not utilized effectively, because high profit requires cheap mindless work. Because of profits, people are forced into low-paying, low-skilled work, that doesn't benefit society. It just creates useless low quality products, serving mindless consumerism, hurting the environment, humanity and causing animal cruelty.
The 'market value', right-wingers are always talking about, is an affront to 'human value'. The large majority of the people would be much more valuable to society, if they are not constrained by profit motives, but stimulated to maximize their benefit to society. With a maximized benefit to society, there are more resources to share and with a bottom up 'government', those resources are shared fairly.
There will always be a small number of people who are not capable of contributing to society, but there is abundant resources to compensate their deficiency.
Most low-skilled work doesn't benefit society or can be eliminated, but some tedious tasks would still be required to facilitate society. Those tedious tasks are therefore essential and therefore the people who choose to do those tasks would be rewarded fairly. In a world like that, there are way less 'downtrodden' that society needed to take care off.
I don't care if you call that socialism or communism, but it is in any case not capitalism. Communism has never worked, because it was always 'top down' and authoritarian. Something close to the 'socialism', by your definition, works in several countries. The more that countries have that kind of 'socialism', the more fairly resources are shared. It's not because 'humanity's mind won't allow it', it's because the wealthy don't allow it. They fill 'humanity's mind' with lies, serving their wealth, keeping humanity down, creating 'the downtrodden'. Humanity and 'the downtrodden' won't allow that anymore, when they finally stop believing the lies.
Perhaps "downtrodden" is not the right word to describe the poor and unfortunate. What word would you use? And, however they end up there, the rest of us should want to help.
I've noticed you put Capitalism down a lot. Capitalism is what allowed the people of this country to enjoy a higher standard of living than any other country in the world. With all the faults of Capitalism, it's the easiest economic form for the average citizen to succeed in. What most people don't realize is that, by force, Capitalism has to have a good dose of socialism. Other countries have huge doses of socialism and it seems to work for them. More power to them. In this country it shows up more in rights and services to the public. We have rights in the workplace. We have rights in the services, too. Social Security, 40 hr work week, public hospitals, Medicare, etc.
The labor of their workers does not go to those workers, but to the shareholders.
"Capitalism is what allowed the people of this country to enjoy a higher standard of living than any other country in the world." You're stuck in the 50's, 70's at the latest. The US doesn't have the highest standard of living anymore. Not by a long shot. Unless you are talking about the top 10%. The bottom 50% is poorer than many other bottom 50% in other modern countries. You just think you are doing better, because the media is not telling you anything real. The right-wing media is outright lying and the 'liberal' media is staying silent. There is no left-wing media, because the media is all bought and owned by the wealthy and corporations. They are all rich and want you to think what you are thinking, because it keeps them rich and the rest poor.
I am proposing a system, where all people organize, into what you call a government, but is completely different than what you understand as a government. It's a bottom up structure, empowering the people. Then, people do NOT NEED 'HELP' anymore. When people's labor is not exploited anymore, you don't need all that tax-money to go from average Americans to UNDERPAID working people anymore, because we share the benefits from the labor fairly. People wouldn't even need to work 40 hours/week anymore, because it's easy
to organize labor more efficiently and let everyone benefit from way less labor.
We don't do that now, because people's labor is cheap. Because people allow it.
That 'help', that you think is 'socialism', is neither. It's just a system to protect the wealthy, from the poor revolting. Socialism means people organizing, to put the power in the hands of people and eliminate that system of exploitation, which NOW requires 'help' for people who work their asses off. In the system that Lennon talks about, everyone contributes to a better society, creating abundance for all. Now there is just abundance for the wealthy and scarcity for everyone else. Because the wealthy don't care about people contributing to a better society, they only care about people working to make them even wealthier.
Capitalism worked well, for a while, to organize humanity to progress.
But it's a TOP DOWN SYSTEM. Every BOTTOM UP SYSTEM is better.
It would allow humanity to progress way more, but it would take away the power from the top. The top needs YOU to believe they deserve that power and that everything will go to shit if we take their power.
Everyone is equal, equally at the bottom.
How about an incentive to better yourself and society?
What do you not understand about the term 'abundance'?
When the economy is not prioritized anymore to enrich a few selfish assholes, it is prioritized to improve the life of everyone. That creates 'abundance'
for EVERYONE, not just ridiculous wealth for those few selfish assholes.
Meanwhile, capitalism does NOT provide 'what it takes to survive' for a whole fucking lot of people. So what is your defense?
Money is what is needed to better yourself.
Have you stopped in at the local store and picked up a new pair of pants and a shirt so you can look better and just told the cashier, "I love you and appreciate these clothes to make me look better " and walk out? No, you had to submit payment in money or a credit card that you would pay back later.
Have you paid your electric bill with a "I owe you" lately? IF so you may be walking around in the dark.
I could go on but the currency is what is exchanged for the improvements to our selves.
Education, cost money,not a couple dozen eggs a day.
a nicer home,cost money, not a herd of cattle.

And, you are right, most people use money to buy products, but, that's the simplification of bartering. Let me make it simple for you. If I'm a sex worker and charge $50 for a ride, I'd get $50 from each John. Now, say, a car mechanic wants to use my "services" but has no cash. He offers me a brake job for my car in exchange. If I agree all is good. Now, can you imagine how hard it would be to know what each product or service is worth and how impossible it would be for me if all the johns are mechanics wanting to pay with a brake job. Money is a way to measure worth. Nothing more and nothing less.
I imagined that you wouldn't get the 'better yourself' point.
I'm not talking about your possessions, I'm talking about your character, skills, knowledge and inner peace.
Lack of anything interferes alot with a persons character.
You would be grumpy if you had no living quarters,no food,no nothing.BUT if you had shelter,food,and other needs fullfilled, you would not be worried,and stressed,so you would have a better "charactor"
I'm not being naive. We do have our share of problems and we are working on them. The absolute biggest problem is the big fuchup called the Federal Government. It's supposed to be "by the people, for the people". That last part is what we have to work on.

Because Norway does not have a minimum wage, there is no mandatory minimum rate of pay for workers in Norway. Pay rates must be agreed upon directly with the employer through collective bargaining or other means of negotiating a fair living wage.

I can go on, but, you get the idea. Not one country has a lock on what is the very best for it's people. The very best country when it comes to the standard of living is Canada. You know what separates the US and Canada? An un-policed frontier and......................

"labor is regulated by supply and demand. If enough workers are willing to sell his labor cheap, than all other workers have to settle" The system of supply and demand only works, until the market is monopolized. Employers have formed a cartel that has almost complete power over the government, monopolizing the demand of labor. Unions have been almost destroyed, because the government bows to the will of the employers, fucking over the employees. Even the FED is raising interest rates, with the full intent to create unemployment, so employees will stay nice and desperate, keeping wages low. Does this make you understand that the whole system is set up to keep most people poor and labor cheap, so that the owners and shareholders can sit on their ass, making lots of money from the labor of workers.
"Making enough to buy a house doesn't mean much if there are no houses to buy" That's because housing is not a human right, being provided by all the people working together, but a market making a few people very wealthy.
"Being able to satisfy your hunger means crap if there's not enough bread loafs in the supermarket shelf" The production of enough food is just such a low bar for our level of human development to provide. That should have been completely eliminated as a problem by now. Food is one of the first necessities of life and society has outsourced that to people making lots of money from making cheap factory garbage that clogs our veins and just provides customers for big pharma, selling us heart decease and diabetes drugs.
A government "by the people, for the people" is exactly what the Socialist Party, I am a member of, is all about. It is the most democratic party in my country and has the most member participation of all parties in my country.
I see them say and do exactly, everything they promise in the party program and that party program is fully based on the combined voice of their members. All party heads are just one vote away from being replaced, if they not live up to the expectations of the members.
Borrowing this quote which is created by both you and cat,I have a question.
Where is the line drawn on what is a "right" and a privilege in regards to housing?
Ok so suddenly we all wake up this morning and all living structures are missing and we are left with clothes on our backs. The government comes along and says all housing is provided by us. and we all get Coleman tents.
Is that enough for the liberals to be content that myself and Elon Musk are neighbors in a tent city?
Housing is a "right" and not a privilege to some, but how is it right for me and him to have the same tent when he puts more effort into to making his life better than I do?
Why should cat be happy with a tent on the next path over from us,after working all her life for the home she has? All for the sake of equality or "rights" or whatever other term is used.
The other assumption you are making is that I want only what's apportioned to me. I'm just as human as you or anyone else. I want that mansion even if I'm a McDonalds hamburger flipper.
Wanting,and deserving is 2 different things.
And If you apply more effort of course you deserve more.If you apply little effort,you deserve less.
I disagree; just by being a person, you deserve to live
and if life is unbearable, without remedy, you deserve the right to end it.
Why even have 'human rights' or the 'bill of rights'
if 'no one deserves anything'?

Might there be some negative connotation attached to it in the US?
To me 'deserving' means exactly the same as 'having the right to'.
You have the right to live. Just because you are a person and explicitly by law.
Your laws might differ with mine, on the right to end your life, but in my opinion, you don't HAVE TO live. Your life is yours and yours alone. You have a right to it and you should have the right to end it.
I also consider human rights 'absolute' (for as far as rights or morality can be absolute). Even if the laws of the land do not define those rights, I still think you have, or should have, them. They are more than words on paper, they are what you 'deserve'.
"do something or have or show qualities worthy of (reward or punishment)."
Right,
What is the true meaning of right?
noun. 1. : qualities (such as adherence to duty or obedience to lawful authority) that together constitute the ideal of moral propriety or merit moral approval. : something to which one has a just claim: such as. : the power or privilege to which one is justly entitled.
Um, I see words in those definitions like privilege ,reward adherence.
Nothing about if you fall out of your mother and hit your head you have the right to sue the manufacture of the floor covering, builder ,owner, and etc. for a example.
Our rights are "earned" because we were born here.
What we deserve is based on our actions and etc.
The bill of rights in the US is something that gives the Natural Born CITIZENS of the USA Rights for simply being born here.

I really hope we can get that down faster. I just 'pray' to science that we can conquer
all the other misinformation, that people seem to want in return for losing religion.
Some people just don't want to embrace reality.
It just shows that the religion of capitalism runs even deeper than Christianity.
Money is GOD, even for the people who have almost none of it. That's very sad.
Religion is a useful tool to make people believe everything, old, gray men tell them.
Which is also good for maintaining their belief in capitalism.
It even turns people like
Besides that, socialism is not related to atheism at all. The socialist party is very much in favor of freedom of religion. It's just consistent in that freedom. Christianity shouldn't get any more freedom, than any other religion or the lack of religion. Religion is a private matter and shouldn't affect anyone else, because that would affect other's freedom of religion, or freedom FROM religion.
Off course, socialism does want to destroy the religion of capitalism.
Because it affects everyone's freedom negatively. Therefore it must go.
Not a matter of "believing" in money, it is a matter of understanding life requires it. AND requires effort to acquire it.
If you make money your main goal in life, you stop living.
My 'socialist' goal is to make money less important to support all our lives,
so we can actually really LIVE.
It shouldn't take this much of an effort to support our lives.
Lots of people are working harder to support their lives, than cavemen ever did.
Humanity has progressed too much, for surviving to cost this much effort.
It would already be progress, if you ever understood that.
It's fine for everyone to have some money to live a comfortable life, after all, this is the way we chose to live starting some 5 thousand years ago.
However, when I say that he perceives money as god is that he thinks that the filthy rich have the divine right to their fortunes and that he thinks of them as gods. However, he doesn't realise how many unethical things they've done in order to make such profits.

Research has found that these discipline disparities can have lifelong consequences for children, such as worsened educational outcomes and higher rates of incarceration.

I also agree with simple partnership.
Even animals, especially primates, get married (have partnership). Since we are animals marriage is a natural process. It's great to feel close to someone and take care of him/her. The more one gives to another person, the more balanced he or she is.
As for Buzz, finding someone to be close to you at this age probably prolongs his life by virtue of the fact that he is loved and he loves. Provided, of course, that it is not a fake marriage.

She's giving me a show here
and I'm about to fuck her
My intention in asking the question below whether you should shoot the 6 year old kid who's about to shoot you was in order to make you, American friends, realise that when you live in a dangerous country with more guns than people then guns can be found in the hands of everyone, adults, kids, good guys, bad guys and guns will be used to shoot innocent people and lead to fucking ridiculous situations where a toddler shoots a teacher. I asked the question "should she shoot or not" to see your reactions. In the end, you couldn't just focus on giving an answer per se but you were itching to justify the fact that the situation arose by blaming the parents, the upbringing, the disobeying the laws,... anything BUT the proliferation of guns and the fact the you've made your country very very dangerous but are unable to see reality.
Situations such as a kid killing a teacher a student killing a couple of dozen students and teachers, a church goer shoots other church members in a church, a policeman raids a random house and kills people, and so on, are natural consequences of the way you decided to live, by having guns everywhere and accessing them at any time.

So, go ahead and shoot your brains out. Kids shoot kids and adults, keep the warzone like situation in schools. The point of my question was for you to see that the answer to the question "kill the kid?" poses a huge moral dilemma, a dilemma you find, and you will find, yourselves in because you have millions and millions of fucking guns.
So go ahead and shoot yourselves and your kids.
The "you" in the above, was meant to be for the ultra-far right wingers.
You refuse to accept the fact that the GUN in and of it's self is not the problem.
You refuse to accept the fact we need to at causes for the violence.
Your idea of a solution is to remove 1 tool from a tool box.
Many a cemetery is FULL of people who died from lesser tools than a gun.
Accept the fact that you may have to face the dilemma
whether to shoot a 6-year old or not.
And, as I said many times in the past, I, too, would
probably have been forced to have a gun when every home
around me has more guns than family members. This is unique
in two countries: US and Yemen, except that Yemen is nowhere close to the US.

Copy and paste,
Ok,I found a good situation here we can discuss as for "punishment"
only registered users can see external links
If caught,how do you ananas and others feel these men should be punished?
GIve them stock options in the company and a credit card?
20 years prison?
what do you think?
It just urks me that when i go in to this store I have to use the lowes card to save 5% then later pay it,or pay cash for whatever items i need.
And these folks just feel like they can go in and steal what they want.
IF there shouldn't be a deterrent to this kind of action, we should all be able to just walk in and walk out with whatever we want.
Edit
my visit to my local Lowes just this morning, cost me 73 bucks to get what I needed. there was about 3 women near the exit, 1 was hardly able to walk, so chances are I coulda made it out the door with a bag of bolts and a gallon of spar varnish but you know what? The fact that I could risk going to jail for getting caught trying to steal, deterred me from running ,or in my case a fast waddle out the door.
What is wrong with harmless deterrents like that? the idea works ?not to mention saves 1000's in court cost and material loss's.

If you really want to know how I feel about it, I think they should face jail time, but, not a possible lifetime because of it. I get the impression that you equate deterrence and punishment as being the same. They are not even if they are intertwined. Punishment is what you make a person go through for some offence. Deterrence is what you HOPE some action will produce. Here's a real deterrence. If you are 14 yrs or older and you are involved in any type of crime, you get the Death Penalty with summary execution within six months.
Isn't that obvious? I don't understand
why you're even asking.
as per your inability to understand
that drifting away is a ridiculous
tactic.
I gave able evidence of how the US
is so dangerous and you end up
asking what should happen to those who steal.
If no one commited crimes, people would feel safe,and perhaps the need for protection would be much less.
Then we agree. The US is the most dangerous place on earth.

UK police spend Ј66,000 on 'woke' rainbow LGBT merchandise.
Nothing wrong about treating lgbtq people as equal human beings, politically, socially, financially, etc. But why does the police have to decorate itself as if they're taking part in a Brazilian carnival? That's ridiculous. Instead, they should focus on treating everyone equally, regardless of race, sex, status.

Cody:
There are so many ways to deter a six year old, throw a book at him or move very fast at him, it's not like they have vast knowledge of shooting and hitting there intended target, I personally would not shoots a six year old, he don't know what he's doing and I don't blame him for his actions at this age, but I would react so quick that he would be confused and disarm him.
This is a case where a little teacher training would have helped the situation she might be alive today had she been properly trained
For the wages teachers earn for just standing around talking and pointing most of the time,it won't hurt for them to have to get some more training to keep the kids safe.

Suppose that the teacher has a gun too and maybe she should.
The kid approaches, pulls out the gun and is about to shoot and kill the teacher.
The teacher pulls out the gun and, being trained in guns by the school, she tells the kid to drop the gun. The kid, however, is about to pull the trigger. She sees his finger on it. Realising that she's shot to die, she pulls the trigger and sits the kid (who dies then or later).
Question: should she have pulled the trigger and shoot the child or not?
My take on it: YES. Since guns are allowed, they must be used when danger exists.
If someone writes a reply to this, please don't start a diatribe saying the it's the parents' fault, don't sidetrack the answer. The answer should be direct. Given that the toddler is about to shoot and given that the teacher has a gun, should she shoot it or not?
Yes, or no.
I say yes.
I won't go far into but this is terriable ,a 6 year old in this situation.
We as the people need to know more about it to perhaps understand it.
We agree on that.
If I were a teacher there I'd certainly carry a gun and would have sought to be trained on how to use them correctly to protect my life and the life of others and of shoot when I had to.
You know that the 6 year old is gonna shoot you and you'll die.
You know that pupils and toddlers are allowed to have guns, responcibly trained of course, from a young age, by parents and grandparents because they must become free American citizens and there's no freedom without guns. They'll be told this again and again in their life.
You're obliged to carry guns while working in schools where pupils or other trespassers may, at some point, start shooting. You don't like guns, but you have to have them.
The clock is ticking, the child holds the gun.
You're trying to deter the child by using your sweetest voice and most kind approach.
The child doesn't understand. After all, online and on TV people die and are reborn. He's seen that hundreds of times.
His small finger is still at the trigger and you see he's about to do it.
At this point, you do it first.
You shoot and kill the child.
You've no other choice.
All that is possible and a very logical consequence of reality.
Since guns are necessary for American democracy, they must be used when there's no other option.
If my life was threatened and if I had a gun and if I saw that there was no way to size the gun from the child then I'd kill the child rather than stay there and have the child kill me.
After all, it wouldn't have been my fault that the child had a gun. Moreover, the school had provided me with a gun and instructions on how to shoot, and kill, were I threatened by one of these children who get hold of a gun and start the common massacres. The only issue here is the age of the child but since there's no age restriction of gun carrying children, neither a rule on what age children to shoot or not, I'd be acting completely within the law, making use of my training in gun shooting and protecting my life. It's all perfectly justified.
Is 21 the lowest age one can legally own a gun there? Is that what you meant? Thanks.
a 6 year old wanting to kill someone at all is just sad.
BUT I do wish someone would find out what the teacher may have done that could provoke this? Until I know different ,i will not consider the teacher innocent totally. The teacher may have hurt the child, sexually touched the child? Who knows, YET?
It "should" be easy to distract a 6 year old and take the gun or escape or something but we were not there, we don't know what happened.
and the 6 year old could have brought some exlax brownies or other poisonous thing
I think this highlights a problem with our system.
WHY should a 6 year old kids privacy be protected?
Why is there any secrets about this?
How can the public make informed decisions without accurate information?
That kid should be grilled on prime time tv along with it's mother
That is a change that needs to be made. MORE information to the public to help prevent future problems.

All fascists and fascistoids of the world unite!
my dismay at the rise of thuggism/fascism/backwardness in many places around the world that are supposed to have democracies (not talking about China or North Korea or Saudi Arabia. Those places are open dictatorships anyway). And your (sorry for the pun) ex president fueled the thuggish beliefs and behaviour and opened the path to many assholes around the world. He'll remain in history as the piece of shit of America. That is, the big turd that he is.
Yea, it does look like deja vu,
I wonder how long they will hold the protesters without a trial or medical care or etc?
Strange how liberals are soft on crime until they feel their little apple cart is going to be overturned then they go to dictatorship methods.

Children shouldn't be indoctrinated about religion or nationalism or sex at that age. I know jews who send their children to kindergartens to learn parts their "holy" text torah by heart. That's pathetic. In exactly the same vein, teaching a child that it is normal to dress up and behave like brothel mamasans is pathetic. All these things fuck up childrens' brains.
So has anything like this ever been taught in school?
A love everlasting between what was master-servant?
By William Spivey
People who wave the Confederate flag may say it’s about heritage, not hate. They may have convinced themselves that’s the only way it should be interpreted. But in their hearts, they know how it’s being received no matter what they say they mean. When people say you’re purveyors of hate, that’s what you are and what you meant to do.
Make America Great Again (MAGA) in theory, is well-intended; what’s wrong with wanting to make America great? The problems start when you take a close look at “Again.” Ask a MAGA person when exactly again is, and you’ll never get an answer. They may ramble about certain values they think America once had, but ask them what they’re talking about, and you’ll get a blank stare.
Let me help them narrow things down. If we pick the Declaration of Independence in 1776 as a starting point for America and don’t count the years that had enslavement, the Black Codes, or Jim Crow, we’ve eliminated any year before 1968. So it’s only within the past 54 years that America has been great. Then take away the years of pay inequality, mass incarceration, voter suppression, and homophobia. Just like that, there aren’t any years left. What MAGA zealots mean is when they think America was great for them which is a whole different thing.

fascistoids will never ever be convinced
by this argument. They're fanatics.
Exactly the same psychology as
suicide bombers.
Make America great again? anyone offended by that must not have a clue about what America was. After WW2 we had nice homes,a man's wage supported his family,cars were stylish,if you lived within your means you had a good life. The cold war,the Ruskys, were our biggest threat.
Now it is terrorism, getting sued for whistling at a lady and so on.
As for the flag , if I can drive around and see everyone else's damn flag and cope,they can cope with whatever flag I fly.
And why in the hell should i be forced to forget my heritage but have everyone else's shoved down my throat? We can all live and celebrate our differences in peace if people would just do it.
I would like to see America go back to a time when people read their books and learned from them instead of trying to rewrite them to fit their ideas.
I would like to see America go back to a time when people were born and knew what they were and accepted it and dealt with it instead of being confused and expecting me and others to accept it.
People are offended by syrup bottles and butter boxes.
Soldiers used to come home from a war and went to work. now they get on disability.
Made in America meant something was made with pride.Unlike now,when chinese junk actually last LONGER than American made! Sad.
I would like to see a time when people were not so offended as it was back in the 50's. MUch better times for this country.

When WWII ended, all the women that had jobs where laid off so returning troops could get work. Starting with Korea, meatball surgery in the front lines of a war became commonplace. This created a huge number of soldiers that were saved but with a disability. Of course, those disabilities don't count. Only your type is a real disability.

If a man's wages supported his family after WWII, then what happened? The US was one of the first countries to require a woman go to work to help support the family and that happened right after the second WORLD War.

You know what, Phart? You have an idealistic view of the past, but, you conviniently ignore the truth or are just too lazy to do the research.
As for the disability comment, I should have been more clear about the type I was thinking of,the "mental" part.
Ptsd. Something that has been around before it was even named. But men MANNED UP and came home and did what had to be done.
THe women that worked during the war, had family's to raise after the war,so they still had a job. Parents didn't pawn their kids off to some day care. They did their jobs.
As for all the name calling,you didn't have to use the words,you didn't have to let them bother you. alot of people didn't and got along just fine.
Why is that when we all know war was and is violent regardless of when it happened. Must be a difference somewhere.
Evidence from the trama of war can be found in letters and diarys of soldiers from the civil war on up for sure.
it is the way the men cope now that is different, WHY? my uncle did 2 tours in nam, came home and would wake up screaming in the middle of the night,he held a job and supported the family though. how,why? something changed .what?
PTSD—known to previous generations as shell shock, soldier's heart, combat fatigue or war neurosis—has roots stretching back centuries and was widely known during ancient times.Oct 2, 2017
In 1887 at the Salpкtriиre Hospital in Paris, physician Jean-Martin Charcot documented that traumatic experience could later lead to “hysterical attacks” that might happen years after the trauma. U.S. soldiers who fought in the gruesome battles of the Civil War were no exception.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is often thought to have arisen with the advent of mechanised warfare—think shell shock and the First World War—but the examination of ancient texts offers sufficient evidence that PTSD may be as old as the act of war itself.Feb 12, 2019
PTSD during the 1940s--This condition was nothing new among combat soldiers, but military medicine was gaining a better grasp and understanding of what exactly was causing it. What had been known in previous wars as “Nostalgia," “Old Sergeant's Disease," or “Shell Shock," was now appropriately termed, “Combat Fatigue.
What then is the reason for moving PTSD out of anxiety disorders and into the new trauma and stress disorders section? The main rationale is that PTSD often manifests with non-anxiety symptoms such as dissociative experiences, ANGER OUTBURSTS, AND SELF-DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR. Sep 25, 2015
Brain scans show that PTSD symptoms and behaviours are caused by biological changes in the brain, NOT by some personal failure. Understanding the changes can also help friends and families gain a better understanding that their loved one's PTSD symptoms are not their fault.
PTSD is considered a permanent VA disability. The Department of Veteran Affairs recognizes post-traumatic stress disorder as a serious, life-altering mental condition and will award disability benefits to qualified veterans suffering from PTSD.Aug 9, 2022
When the VA gives an Unemployability rating for PTSD, it means a veteran cannot workead due to his PTSD. As a result, a veteran receives a 100% PTSD rating due to unemployability.
CAT
Alright, Phart, I could go on, but, this is more than enough. You could have done this research instead of blindly making unfounded statements about something you don't know anything about (sounds familiar in your case). Your uncle, whom you used as an example, experiences bouts of PTSD. That alone should have shown you that PTSD IS REAL and that it affects people's minds. Severe cases are not something one just ignores and pushes through. This has been know for ever but, only relatively has it been recognized as a real condition.
😈
If you think America was great at that time, then you should strengthen labor unions, reinstate the top tax bracket of 91% and apply The Fair Labor Standards Act to raise the minimum wage to $21.50, keeping up with inflation and productivity. It would lift tens of millions of Americans out of poverty. How can a man's wage support his family at $7.25 per hour?
But you are probably talking about putting women back in the kitchen, reinstating
the Jim Crow laws and abolishing the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and the
Fair Housing Act.
I see nothing wrong with the family being reassembled in a way that takes care of the children.
The man should make a wage that will take care of his family.
The constitution gives us equal rights, it should be enforced.and it could be without giving free rides to those that are simply to sorry to pull their own weight.veterans are a very small part of that group.but there are those that take advantage of the system.
.
As for veterans eating their guns, I know for a fact all these programs and benefits for veterans didn't help a friends daughter who shot her self about 3 days after that botched withdrawl from afganistan, she was there for several years ,and wrote in her note to her dad that she felt biden had erased all the military's hard work. Eating the gun as you call it has increased, even with all these benefits in place you speak of.Money can't buy trauma out of a persons brain. But giving that brain hope and purpose after the war will help it cope.and for most,hope and purpose come from being capable of independance.

you posted, "Inter racial breeding I can’t stand to see that"
CAT
I'm not sure what you are trying to say to me, Mountain Man. If you are implying all people south of the American/Mexican border are mixed breed, then, baby, you are as ignorant as I had a hunch you'd be. If you are referring to my African/American lover, Mountain Man, I won't apologize for my loving a good and generous man who, like Charlie, makes me so happy. Sometimes, judging by your posts, I wonder what your pedigree really is. Regardless of your poor showing here, have a Happy New Year, full of good health and happiness, surrounded by your friends and family.😢👿
Your "this is me strait forward" seems to be a challenge to other people to accept you even though you are not willing to give others an even shake. If this is what you are then you are a racist bigot with a huge chip on your shoulder. Not that I care. If I'm going to chat on important subjects, I would not do it with you, nor would I do it here. You are what you are, but, I'm disappointed. When I friended you, I thought I had been terribly wrong about you. Now I'm starting to understand why Lix said the things she said about you. Oh, well, live and learn. My sentiments for you, for the New Year, still holds. 😥👿
Blacks try and convince us their lives matter but yet they kill other in the streets every night in big citys.
They expect their history and heritage to be respected, which is fine by me.
BUT when there is interracial behavior, both races loose their uniqueness, what makes them who they are.
And as much as most blacks absolutely H@te whites, it is difficult to imagine how they put that hatred aside to have relationships with whites.
The whole thing has always been a mystery to me.
Second, the phrase inter-racial breeding is offensive, wrong and conveys ignorance both in terms of behaviour but also in terms of knowing a little biology. Whoever uses this term is simultaneously socially problematic but also uneducated. Also, there's no such thing as breeding between humans in a democratic society. Humans are free to mix as they like and no real authority (the state) nor fictitious one (gods) can tell a human whom to decide to have children with.
Third, if we interpret the phrase as I just said, namely, sexual encounters across people from all lands, then not only it's not wrong but it's also a must for the long term survivability and fitness of our species.
Fourth, I suspect that this Dgraff is a far-right narrow-minded individual for it's mostly these people who usually open their mouths and spit out phrases as this one, without thinking of how they could be perceived nor do they realise that there might be no way to support their veracity.
Fifth, I'm writing this for you, CAT, for if I try to communicate with the person who said this, or anyone like him/her, they would most likely not be able to follow simple English (or Spanish or any other natural language) if the sentences used in my response contained conditionals, dependent clauses, or were more than three words in length.
Really, no dna difference?
Well why aren't there more white people with large lips without getting them pumped up like the Kardashians for example?
why are there no slanted eyes on my family members if there is no difference?
What people do is what people do,but why give up what makes a people unique?
Besides if there was no basic difference ,then Intergration of schools and such would never have been a issue because it would have been that way for centurys.There are differences.
Why do people of color stay in 1 area while people of another stay in another area and so on? IF we were all the same then this would not be common place
Everyone born in China until the last 40 years, has eyes that most call slanted. People born in Africa until a few decades ago or a 100 years or so, are dark skinned. Only until ships came along and people mingled did the different features start carrying over into each race.
IT was not "natural" for the different people to mingle,or it would have happened LONG before now.
The way you view this makes us humans look to only be 1 notch above dogs instead of civilized beings.
As for whether race can be found in our genes, the answer is no. Biological ancestry, however (which is distinct from race), is real. Where our forebears came from can be seen in our DNA (to a certain degree), but ancestry does not map onto race, not even close.Aug 9, 2019
It's on the net
Let me repeat what I said, and now read carefully:
------------------
First of all, there's no such thing as race. Besides superficial differences, like skin colour and speech accent, we can't tell one's "race" through his/her dna. It just isn't there.
Second, the phrase inter-racial breeding is offensive, wrong and conveys ignorance both in terms of behaviour but also in terms of knowing a little biology. Whoever uses this term is simultaneously socially problematic but also uneducated. Also, there's no such thing as breeding between humans in a democratic society. Humans are free to mix as they like and no real authority (the state) nor fictitious one (gods) can tell a human whom to decide to have children with.

Pay particular attention to the last paragraph.
You clearly do not understand. It's ok. Don't try.
Keep differentiating people as slanted-eyes vs round-eyes.
You're IGNORANT (the word has two meanings; you're embodiment of both).

Human categorization
A race is a categorization of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society. The term came into common usage during the 1500s, when it was used to refer to groups of various kinds, including those characterized by close kinship relations. Wikipedia
We are not dogs,
Untill all the illegals started pouring in, I seldom EVER heard spanish unless it was on tv.
As for a wonderful culture, Leo,why don't you invest in a couple rental houses and let the illegals live in them for a couple years? Then come back and tell me they are a part of a wonderful culture.
They shit under the house, rip off the kitchen cabinet doors and put wire over the holes and keep live chickens in the house. When they are finally evicted they rip out the wiring and sell it for scrap, and leave the houses in unlivable unrentable condition. You don't live here in the states, so if it is not on your tv,you don't see the reality we do.
As for Puerta rico, give all those islands back to ever got jipped out of them during some war over a 100 years ago.
You're a myopic, or even blind,

I treat my neighbors right,do what I can for my community and don't cause any trouble.
AND 1 thing for sure,I stay SOBER.Not many this day and time can say that.
You've been telling that story for as long as I've been on this site. I'm sure a buddy or a guy you know told you about it or heard it at some breakfast at Denny's from some right-wing tightass. Okay, some Spanish speaking lowlife vandalized the house he was living and/or being evicted. Because of that you believe every Latin person is the same. That is stereotyping people. And it's not true.
I live in Miami/Dade county. There are several cities and municipalities including Miami. The City of Coral Gables is one of the most beautiful and prosperous cities in the country. The city is over 57% Latino and white. The same with the City of South Miami, The City of West Miami and Palmetto Bay. There's the municipalities of Miami Lakes, Coconut Grove, Normandy Shores and many others. Every one has heavy concentrations of latins. 99.9% maintain their home in a pleasing way. They are, as a rule, hard working family people. Many are very successful and most speak English unless they are recent immigrants. They are a diverse group that come from everywhere in the Americas. We also have a large population of Puerto Ricans and Englanders. Do we have lowlifes as you describe? Sure, every city and town in the whole world has them and they come in all flavors. So please, retire that old story. I've traveled many areas of the US, and in particular, the Eastern seaboard and Southern states. You are mostly a collection of old towns with boarded up downtowns.
Puerto Rico has been part of the US for over 100 yrs. It's part of us and we are lucky to have them. Especially if they become the 51st state of the Union.
Tell me, would you give back all the land in the Southwest back to Mexico?
The folks shitting under the house were 2 fellows a neighbor hired to do landscaping. they told him they didn't want the landlord in the house so they didn't report the plumbing issues and had been shitting under the house for over 2 months. I can't imagine the smell of untreated human shit under a house,
Nothing to gain by lieing about it anyway.Why bother? tell the truth from the git go,if people disagree well so be it.
And what do we see; those thoroughbreds are almost always sickly, malformed, short-living animals, suffering hip dysplasia, shortness of breath or constant headaches and bulging eyes all their short lives, because their heads are too small
for their brains. A lot of them die after a few years, from epilepsy. Everyone knows that when you want a healthy dog, you buy a mongrel.
Your ideas of a pure race a harmful to humanity. It's clear as day how those racists, who don't mingle their pure white blood, are already affected by their interbreeding, because they're all dumb as fuck.
"English is the language we use as Americans"
Think how presumptuous it is that we, US citizens, use the term "American" as if we owned the term. What Phart should have posted is, "English is ONE language spoken by Americans. There's Spanish (of wich there are several dialects), French, Portuguese, and hundreds of Native American languages like Guarani or Navajo.
What amazes me is that the average US citizen doesn't realize that Puerto Rico is a USA protectorate, that it's people have US citizenship and representation in Congress, and that they speak Spanish.
And since you mentioned Guarani, I like them a lot, I also think their women are so good looking. Their music too. Listen: only registered users can see external links
Here is some of the "Benefits" of another culture that we are having shoved down our throats.
You just pick examples that are
convenient for you. I don't
like Muslim extremists and suicide
murders either, but that's nothing to
do with race fucking idiot.
BUT YET, you just said muslim had nothing to do with race and you call me racist.
Just as I have ask cat before, how can a person be racist if there is no race,breed, or category's of humans?
And I wasn't talking about race,I was making reference to your reference to culture that you seem to be hell bent on being so important.
There is no universally accepted classification for “race”, however, and its use has been under fire over the last few decades.
The United Nations, in a 1950 statement, opted to “drop the term ‘race’ altogether and speak of “ethnic groups”.
In this case, there are more than 5,000 ethnic groups in the world, according to a 1998 study published in the Scientific American.
What is Race? When some people use the “race” they attach a biological meaning, still others use “race” as a socially constructed concept. It is clear that even though race does not have a biological meaning, it does have a social meaning which has been legally constructed.
This is not gibberish. When we say, “You are racist.”, we can mean to a group that is identified by color of their skin, nationality, religion, regional ancestry, gender, age, language or other ethnic groups. You use the term in a narrow way.
Although the answer to this ridiculous claim is obvious, I'll reply.
In the same way that a person can be afraid of ghosts when when ghosts don't exist.
you can't 100%.
Nor can I prove 100% they do.
I am sure we both have saw some weird shit in our times, that is not to be explained easy. At least I know I have.
As for it being a evil something or whatever,no way to know.but I wouldn't use ghost for that comparisson,nor aliens. Maby the irishman at the end of the rainbow with his pot of gold.
because the end of a rain bow is not locatable.
Not everything can be proved by actual facts. You believe in God but can't prove he exists. You cannot say with any certainty what the actual value is for pi yet the circumference of a circle can be stated as =2 times pi times the radius. The normal is no one has seen a ghost.

First of all, there's no such thing as race. Besides superficial differences, like skin colour and speech accent, we can't tell one's "race" through his/her dna. It just isn't there.
Second, the phrase inter-racial breeding is offensive, wrong and conveys ignorance both in terms of behaviour but also in terms of knowing a little biology. Whoever uses this term is simultaneously socially problematic but also uneducated. Also, there's no such thing as breeding between humans in a democratic society. Humans are free to mix as they like and no real authority (the state) nor fictitious one (gods) can tell a human whom to decide to have children with.
Third, if we interpret the phrase as I just said, namely, sexual encounters across people from all lands, then not only it's not wrong but it's also a must for the long term survivability and fitness of our species.

People look for things to be offended by. IF you wrote off racism,it would be some other issm by the end of the week.

I used to know this Asian girl long ago.
Suddenly, I met her again.
Divorced, 2 children, no partner.
I spent hours listening to her and
consoling her, and we ended up having sex
a few times recently.
Real woman, really sweet, real good sex.
I'm now supporting her a bit more.
