    Default my absence from the forums

    i am sick and tired of the repugs that are like spoiled kids that demand that everyone do things their way or they will take their ball and bat and go home.

    legislators have a duty to serve their constituents, but they also have a duty to serve their country.

    the shutting down of the government and the threat to not pay the nation's bills are not the actions of statesmen (and stateswomen) and do not have the best interests of our nation at heart.

    since they are unable to pass legislation through normal channels, they have resorted to blackmail to try to get what they want.

    this is obscene.

    obviously defaulting is really bad

    but there is a small part of me that just wants to see shit get burned down.

    call it the 10%

    The problem is, takers really need a good slap upside the head. Not only do takers take, but they do so smugly and arrogantly. They believe they are entitled to other peoples money. They believe it is rightfully theirs. It would be kinda nice to finally punish them and wreck their shit.

    Grind, I assume you're talking about the takers like the oil companies with their huge subsidies? or the investment bankers whose income is taxed at a lower rate than other people's incomes? You ARE talking about takers like that, right?

    Not just them, ALL takers. Grind is against corporate welfare the same as he's against personal welfare. But you aren't. You're only against it for companies/industries you don't like.

    You mean the oil companies that provide you a standard of living you could have never dreamed of?

    Make no mistake, I don't support rent seeking from anyone, but give me an oil exec over a welfare queen any day

    When did being on welfare become noble. Time was in America people were embarrassed to except welfare.

    People like you think you are entitled to others money

    Oil companies and corporations pay taxes and provide jobs, don't they?

    It's depressing. But I'm always happy to see you here, even if it's just to gripe about cons!

    Plus, I'm glad it's just an existential thing and not a bad recurrence of physical problems.
