The most dangerous type of person is one who fiercely believes in an all powerful entity. That’s where the nut jobs are focused. Atheists have no cause, therefore no reason to kill people because god said it was cool.
False. If you look at all of the wars where Christianity was the driving force throughout history (all many years ago) you will find that it is only about 6-7% of the wars fought. The rest were by those who were not Christians/Believers. It is sad that people still parrot George Carlins satirical comments about wars committed by Christianity. You people are seriously ill/uninformed and stupid as hell.

Totally moronic take by you... but that is to be expected.

Democrats tried to pass border legislation but it was shot down by the Republicans.
In other news....Can't be pro life and pro Trump according to the Epstein files. He is so sick.

The Dem bill would have let 5k a day in before they shut the border down. It was just legalizing what they were doing at the border. It was a piece of trash.

You don't have to be smart to put a million dollars in the bank and sit there accruing interest. Just rich. That's what our system rewards. Not smarts. Capital. It's even named after it.
You really dont have a clue how anything works do you? Add a little self discipline, living within your means and saving some every check and you too can become a millionaire . You act like that should happen overnight.

That was part of my point and the reason I used that particular turn of phrase. Even a dumb rich person gets that money guaranteed for doing nothing. A smart one uses it to make even more. And more. And more. Opportunities the rest of us don't have. All just for being rich. Many of them born that way.

It's the reason millions of America seniors aren't in poverty. Yes, you could theoretically make more on your own. But most wouldn't in actual practice. And the few that would've used it responsibly and actually saved for retirement with smart investments that paid off are already doing so, so it's a moot point.
So your point is the Government knows what's best for you and can take better care of you than you can yourself.

It was a bad Bill. No telling how many times you have been shown that. It sure didn’t take a Bill for Trump to get the border under control.

Who do you think will get all that wealth when the parents die?
Very few. If you cut out the top 10%, the median inheritance of the remaining 90% is effectively zero. Oh look, another thing about how our society's designed that just so happens to favor those same rich! Shocking! Maybe there's some sort of pattern.

What? Did you just make that up? Because it isn't true. It doesn't matter where the money comes from. Poor people spend it. To eat. That isn't opinion, it's cold hard reality.
FALSE. you are still retarded dion. an oversimplification bc you cannot understand macro econ. facts, if someone provides value to many people and earns money, they do many things with it, like invest in other ways to provide value (aka improve lives) not just spend on themself. that is what creates velocity .. numerous transactions. but when you give welfare, or ubi, it goes straight to booze, smokes or crime. no velocity at all.
They're American values. At least they used to be.
FALSE. American values ARE rugged individualism. Always has been. the American dream ... come here and make a better life for yourself and your family. what you have "transformed" it into is come to American to mooch, steal and rape. you're sick.
They have the same reason everyone else does. Society. The only reason you don't murder people is because you'll be punished for it after you die? I knew you were messed up, but that's some serious high-level pathology.
FALSE. A true atheist doesn't give one chit about anyone other than themself. every time. I think it is good to have a higher calling to not murder, unlike you. And when you create the universe, you make the rules.
And every Christian I know is morally bankrupt because they think they'll either be rewarded or punished eternally for their tiny time on this earth. No responsibility for themselves. Crappy, untrustworthy people.
FALSE. projection. reality is quite the opposite.

AAANNND ... i haven't seen an answer to my question ... do you OWN a phone? a computer? do you have your OWN checking account?

There's no greater threat to the working class than the socialist. And just as you can't fix a country you don't love, you cannot help people you hate.

They hate you ( unedecutated rednekc conservatrive working at Jimmy John's) for being poor, not just for your worldview, for not running into their arms for salvation while they robinhood steal from the "rich" to give to the "poor." Of course AOC and Bernie deserve their luxury hotels; where would you be without them?

Have seen a post or two on this thread and a few more on Rafters about MD's two technicals

To my knowledge there has never been and currently is no rule requiring suspension from a future game for getting two techs in a game .. you're just DQed for the rest of the said game
It might be an NBA rule. Could be where the mix up came from.

Let's piggyback my own comment here to dive a bit deeper now that Christmas is finished and we have the time. Harlan county, the random example I threw out, is, depending on the metric you're using, somewhere around the 30 poorest county in the entire country. There is very limited upward mobility. If you're young and ambitious and looking for "chance for advancement" you leave. Harlan, Harlan Co., and large swathes of our country are dying. Meanwhile all that wealth keeps concentrating at the top. Three men have more wealth than the entire bottom half of the country. 165 million people. And the top 1% has more than 90% of us. Almost everyone. That includes most of you who consider yourselves 'middle class'. We aren't in decline because of immigrants.



At the end of the day you have to advocate and fight for yourself. You can’t waste your energy on boogeymen like Elon musk, who if I’m not mistaken ironically enough is from South Africa which is much poorer than the US. If you work in coal testing you might be working for a large company that offers a 401k which is great. Investing has never been easier or more accessible than it is now, you can download the robinhood app and put money in the s&p 500 right this minute. The average saving rate of an American in this country is 4.7% which is very low. You can’t rely on the government trying to fix it and you can’t waste your energy arguing with old retired guys on the internet who are bored and have nothing else to do. My family and I are immigrants, my father immigrated here when he was 51 without a penny to his name and has done amazing for himself and is ow in his 80s. Whether you’re in Harlan county or Harlem you’re still in the richest country in the world with immeasurable opportunities, but you have to be proactive and fight for them and yourself, and no one is going to help you. Good luck!
