Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time.
Joe is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dads; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn’t want to make rural loans. The house didn’t have electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republican’s would still be sitting in the dark)
He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn’t have to. After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.
He turns on a radio talk show, the host’s keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn’t tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day) Joe agrees, "We don’t need those big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I’m a self made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have".
I met two sisters one time who I couldnt think of any description for other than 'engagement ring collectors' - they actually did it on purpose and in competition with each other, my friend and I at the time couldnt believe their tricks.......
I believe care needs to be taken with stevia Ray, they arent altogether sure yet of potential side effects though it could be the white sugar companies have held back the research....
"Some scientists are concerned that stevia may be a mutagen, meaning that it could cause cancer. Stevia has also been linked to reproductive malfunction. Some of these studies have been imperfectly performed, but the need for more thorough analysis of the compound has certainly been demonstrated. Proponents of stevia suggest that these studies may be part of a larger effort on the part of sugar companies to keep alternatives to sugar off the market, pointing out that stevia is widely used in South America and Asia with no noticeable ill effects. Given the argument over stevia, it would appear that more controlled studies are needed."
In light of that Ill leave that stuff alone for now - I did some research into sugars when Dorielle first got poorly and found normal everyday white sugar to be more dangerous than some class B drugs....... I have a better link somewhere but blowed if I can find it...
I like the low carb stuff and the paleolithic diet stuff cos it leaves out a whole raft of processed rubbish....
Theres no need to be hungry when you're doing these diets though, theres such a lot of choice - its mainly a case of healthy eating anyway, no refined stuff i.e. white flour or sugar etc. I loved the low GI diet cos I was actually eating more and the lbs were dropping off
Rich socialists are people who pull together to make things work out for the many and poor capitalists are those whos quest for materialist wealth is concentrated on the few
Itll never change while people let them get away with it thats a certainty - I dont get the respect bit personally, thats no disrespect to you personally but while you guys are all so eager to prove your manhood and get yourselves shot for the privilege, the jolly controllers are having their jolly fine brandies sat behind their jolly expensive desks getting their jollies at the expense of the taxpayer....... nah, it stinks just the same whichever way I look at this
as you say, neither of us are right or wrong but see what can be achieved with a little effort, we are speaking amicably yet from opposing isies of the divide
This is exactly what I was referring to earlier when i said it was immoral to work for corrupt government and that the people who dont join the army dont do so out of cowardice etc, even I would be there tomorrow if I thought there was a modicum of integrity to our governance.........
I think theres going to be big troubles ahead personally and its too late to get the youngsters any discipline at this stage.
I just live in a tiny place and going into the local village at nights isnt something i do without thinking first, theres loads of discontented youths brooding about with their bottles of cider waiting for something to kick off - I reckon this is why they armed our coppers with tazers a couple of yrs back....
Maybe if the army was to be deployed on our own streets, setting up youth clubs and teaching life skills I may be more in favour of the proposal...
They need jobs not to be conscripted - whats there for them at the end of a couple of years service too? They will just be better equipped fighters, the unrest on the streets will still be there till they get the work situation sorted out - but the numbskull british voters have let the same lot back in that caused the problems in the first place - brainwahing lives, but the unrest is bubbling over elsewhere because they are a lot more educated than the masses of 100 yrs ago - if it doesnt kick off big style in Europe this time Ill be very surprised....
Im really happy for you and dont want to argue but there are other ways besides the armed services - if people werent so wishy washy about letting the politicians literally get away with murder there wouldnt be so much need for armed forces intervention in the first place.....
With the current climate the chances of being sent into conflict are somewhat higher than random slight chance......
Its because money runs the show - instead of social interest they concentrate on profit margins cos they are all in somebody elses pockets and the irony is they want the children of the poor, those who suffer most in this debacle, to send their kids off to get doffed off for the privilege - do they think we are mad???? well yes, obviously cos everybody keeps a falling for the same scam...... but hey, at least cap doffing went out of fashion - or was that just caps
Yeah, the prison experiment, I think it says it only took a couple of days for the 'guards' to frighteningly assimilate the role and thats without the brainwash stuff......
I cant remember what the bootcamp prog was called but it was a great programme and really did good for the youngsters but I still hold that jobs and apprenticeships would be better - less dehumanising......
My loss was years ago and Im quite ok now but thanks for your concern.
It isnt just young men who need the discipline, young women in lots of instances are far worse and I agree emphatically that they do need something - I just disagree with CS being used for an army recruitment campaign.........
The activities you mention are provided by the better schools here - but I guess not having those luxuries is the price the kids from the inner cities pay for their parents being poor.... Its so english, we are supposed to have stiff upper lips and face adversities with a stiff upper lip - well, the word on the street is that they can stuff their stiff upper lips right up their anally retentive jacksies - there is social unrest and forcing people into the army is only going to exacerbate matters........
They havent had it at home since mums started going out to work during the second world war, this is nothing new - what is new is that recruitment statistics fell off dramatically and theres currently lots of unrest blowing up on the streets here
the only way they can get them in the army is to get them before theyre old enough to know any different and by force at that - all is never simply ads it seems, like computer equipment, society also has its 'drivers'.......
Im sure you mean well Soldier Byte but I vehemently disagree - and I am not your dear lady! - I happen to have a degree in health and applied social sciences so this is no mere 'little lady' notion, its very well thought out by a very capable mind....
You have put it across as if to sell it as the only option and I think thats very decietful or possibly ignorant at best - there are many other ways of bringing discipline into the lives of children - listening to them for a start, not dehumanization - talk all you may, I can never go along with that......
Abu Ghraib ring any bells - or the Stanford Prison Experiment?
It isnt though - thats just what the politicians would have you believe and we all know they have fingers in many pies.... anyway, its a bit of a moot point, the british gvmt cant even equip the troops they already have........
Do you really want a nation of children who think like this;
"O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle -- be Thou near them! With them -- in spirit -- we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it -- for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
