That is nonsense that hard work will not make successful.You do not have to have well off parents to succeed.I pray that many people do not have your view of life because this country will not survive if they do
Initially, you said 100 percent for Biden in many cases. Philadelphia apparently has been coming in at about 80 percent for Biden in terms of mail-in ballots. Considering Hillary Clinton won Philadelphia with 67 percent of the vote in 2016 and we've already established that Trump supporters were far more likely to vote in person, I'm not sure why you would find it suspicious that Biden would score 80 percent of mail-in votes.
Retired at 52 and feel like I should work since I'm physically able. I still shouldn't have to take care of the ones who don't want to work. I'll help anyone out that I think needs it.
Most people want to work though. Hell most do but some still can't afford decent insurance because it doesn't pay enough. So in your mind anyone you feel worthy of your help gets it but not those who aren't worthy? ****** mindset man.
Tell that to single moms who work two or three jobs to keep lights on and food on the table.
Where those single shot weapons state of the art then.The second amendment was designed to have citizens being able to protect themselves from the Government.The first step in the suppression of citizens is to disarm them
My father couldn't pay for me to go to college. I worked my tail off and earned an athletic scholarship. It was that or join the military. The great thing about America is you can achieve as much as you want if you're willing to work for it. Unfortunately many like Shatterthesky22 don't feel this way and want to blame the hand they've been dealt. With Socialism, the American Dream will die and the rich and big government will stay wealthy and everyone else will be the same (poor).
Have you ever been out of this country?Most people in other places would love to be able to have the opportunity to work to have lights and food.That is why they want to come to America
I don't believe in banning guns but can somebody explain to me how the possession of a guns is supposed to protect a citizen from the overreach of a government that has the world's most powerful military at it's disposal?
Dude if the government felt like it they could run us the **** over with the military, armed or not we would not stand a chance against the government.
Absolutely I was the first in my family to graduate High School and went to College on a Football Scholarship
Actually I just want a fairly even playing field. That's about it.
Oh so you think I should just give my hard earned money to everyone? Where in the world did you develop your philosophy? You think big government is best and will take care of everyone. You're in for a rude awakening and so is everyone that is for Socialism.
I played at Appalachian State University in the mid 80's. Where did you attend college?
Everyone should pay taxes but, beyond that I have no interest in your money.
Yeah um, heres the thing bud. These ideas that i want to happen aren't likely to make the world a better place or easier for me. I understand how fortunate I am and want others to get the same opportunity.
Over 50% of Americans own a gun, and we pay for that military. They think twice on using “the military lol”
It’s said to be the reason Japan in 1941 didn’t come inland to attack us. They knew the citizens of America had guns.
That was said by a NRA-funded politician in 2012 and then posted and circulated on Facebook in 2019 (which is most likely where you read it).
It's also said by historians and World War II experts to be completely unfounded and/or untrue.
A much more believable reason would be the logistics of moving Japanese ground forces to U.S. shores and preparing to invade.
I suppose the Japanese Imperial Army could have been deterred from bombing the continental United States out of a fear that folks were going to shoot planes out of the sky with rifles.
I think that last part is a joke but, to kind of address all of this, we are talking about the Japanese pilots from WW2 correct? The same pilots who were all too damn happy to intentionally crash their planes into Americans? There's absolutely no way they were scared of US citizens.
That meme was calling for war. I am not saying that conservatives are. Just calling out a ****** meme.
Does the criminal breaking into Ipsy or Shatter's house pull up in a tank with bomber planes flying out in front? If so, I'm pretty sure the criminal isn't particularly concerned about Ipsy's arsenal.
Serious question, do you think it is more likely that the Japanese didn't invade the mainland U.S. on the ground because they were scared of armed citizens than it was being due to the logistics of transporting and mobilizing their ground troops onto the coast to invade, an invasion that the U.S. military would have likely been prepared for due to Intelligence and to the sheer length of time it would have taken to transport ground troops?
While I don't think it is what he meant, Donald Trump Jr did encourage his father on Twitter to go to, "Total War," about this election.
The problem with his comments is that it has already been shown that a crew of fanatics began plotting to kidnap Governor Whitmer following Trump's "LIBERATE MICHIGAN!" tweet. For the son of the President to issue such a statement on Twitter is reckless, regardless if he literally meant what he typed.
I think something flew over your head, and it’s not a Japanese plane. Amazing that you guys can take a point made, and run with it to fit your narrative. Wow.
This group? Not sure they were acting on Trumps words.....
All I can tell you is with my guns is I’m not going down without a fight!...And there will be casualties. I might go down, but I’m taking people with me! Every other gun owner thinks that way. It’s a show of force. No we can’t win, but it’s enough show of force and risk that the govt won’t take....*libturds
I was going by timelines, but yes it definitely sounds like the ringleader is very much the Timothy McVeigh type and not a Trump fan.
I stand by my statement that comments such as those made by Trump and Trump Jr. being reckless and potentially dangerous.

The point you made was Japan didn't invade inland following Pearl Harbor was because they knew U.S. citizens would be armed.
You said, "it has been said." I then told you where it was said (you didn't dispute my statement) and that those comments were refuted by historians. You then pivoted and created an analogy to a criminal breaking into Ipsy's house, all the while calling people girls and telling them they're being obtuse.
