You live in the country with 25% of the worlds prisoners and 5 times the homicide rate of an average OECD country. Maybe you should stop drinking the lead water and wake up to the shithole America is becoming.Jay wrote:

Definition of blinded by patriotism.
There is a better way of doing things, the rest of the world has worked this out. Time for North America to catch up (and I don't just mean pricing format).
It's also got nothing to do with not thinking, especially when they don't even advertise there is extra tax let alone what that tax rate is. Anyway I have more important things to think about like why the fuck I need to prepay for fuel and then try to guesitmate how much I need and how much it will cost, without going over, price is right style. The system is absurd and the fact you defend it, while ignoring another identical example is even more absurd.

President Trump wrote:
Well he said, you'll be the greatest president in the history of, but you know what, I'll take that also, but that you could be. But he said, will be the greatest president but I would also accept the other. In other words, if you do your job, but I accept that. Then I watched him interviewed and it was like he never even was here. It's incredible. I watched him interviewed a week later and it's like he was never in my office. And you can even say that.
Where's the study of people taking lsd 4-5 times a day for 10+ years?uziq wrote:
4-5 cups of coffee a day will do measurable harm to you. you don't need to take some comical amount (although of course its drastically lower LD50 means it is much easier to get in deep trouble with caffeine; nobody has ever died from an LSD or psilocybin overdose).
What do you mean no one wins? If you're earning 4million dollars a year you get a 200k tax cut. Winning!!Ty wrote:
"Well basically, I just copied the ObamaCare we have now. Then, I added some fins to lower wind resistance. And this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp."
So it's basically ObamaCare except it accomplishes less, benefits the rich more, and leaves more people without coverage. Brilliant, that's pretty much exactly what I expected from Trump and the GOP.
It's hard not to notice that Trump's fingerprints are far away from this, I would put money on him having absolutely nothing to do with it. I expect he found it all too difficult and just told Ryan to get something cobbled together that might score a pass mark. The result is a shit compromise that angers people who were opposed to ObamaCare because it's too similar to it and pisses off people who support ObamaCare by hobbling it. No-one wins. As per usual in the US health system.

I'd say they go out and eat out far more the your average minimum wage earner in the US, considering those in the US need to work about 80 hrs a week just to pay for rent.uziq wrote:
undoubtedly higher, but people in norway own their own homes, have 6 weeks of paid annual leave per year, and a lot of disposable income. everything costs more, but – hey you were preaching this earlier – they actually go out less, eat out less, and don't insist on all driving hummers. bongggggg.Jay wrote:

No one spends more then the government.Jay wrote:
Yes it does, because it puts more money into the private sector where it will be spent.DrunkFace wrote:
This is the kind of bullshit that the republicans try to spin. Companies do not hire people because their tax bill will be reduced, they hire people to fulfill demand. Reducing taxes and cutting regulations does nothing to increase demand.Jay wrote:
Because theoretically, you save them a lot of money on both their tax sheets and in compliance costs, money that could then be freed up to be spent to create new jobs.

These 'Facts' are self reported and the article gives no source to the study. Women have cheated for eternity as have men, there is nothing special about the numbers today except the ease of information transfer makes it seem worse.SuperJail Warden wrote:

What about the women? Most statistics found that about 50 to 60 percent of women admitted to having an affair.
Facts don't lie. It is pointless to invest in any woman.

it's like yeah ... your heroine in that wholesome movie was coked the fuck out the entire time. of course she's dead.
it's also gross seeing people literally saying shit like 'may the force be with her' because she's dead. a person died. she was that character for about 7 hours of fucking screen time.

Just got back from 2 months in the US and there was a distinct lack of ceiling lights in many places and lamps were the only sources of light. Not true of everywhere but definitely close to half had no ceiling lights and many others had it in 1 or 2 rooms and none in the rest of the house.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
