Huh. In the US, there were many incidents of a president sexually assaulting women while he was still governor, and his wife ruined the careers and reputations of all the accusers. So, they weren't proud of it.

But why? Why do that to someone who did you no,wrong?

So much for my SJW strategy.

The two best SNL sketches:
The American tourist that accidentally got on a Japanese game show
The "Little Women" period part where they were ice skating

Two,or three minutes of "Please like this video and follow me and also go to my website..."

I'm in the generation that worked for 25 years at a company that promised a pension, then went bankrupt and discharged that obligation through a court order, and exited bankruptcy as a perfectly healthy company (once they didn't have to pay benefits and others debts owed).

Rather than point out that it's certainly possible for any of you to learn the new technologies and profit from that, I'll just mention something else. There's a lot of life that's driven by right place/right time. If you happen to retire at the beginning of the stock market Boom, you probably got 30 years in and ended with more money than you started with despite not having to cut back on expenses. Other people died a few years before some drug or technology was developed that would have allowed them to live a long and satisfying life. There's a certain amount of randomness, and I guess I shouldn't bitch that you've noticed one aspect of yours.

Yeah, no matter how,you say it, one will take umbrage at being called black, another will be insulted by the term African American. So, there's no winning, just more serious levels of losing.

This is another instance of a tattoo with a person attached, rather than a person with an interesting and/or attractive tattoo.

Note: You do not have to live your life based in my opinion or approval.

So, it was actually funny for the first time in years?

Most of you are too young to recall the special wealth tax that got added in 1990 or '91. A lot of working class people were thrilled...until they didn't have jobs at Cadillac, boat companies, resorts, and many other luxury type things that "the rich" decided to go without. The top 50% of US taxpayers pay 98% of federal income taxes, so nearly half of us are getting a free ride.

But what if "the rich" are compelled to give less money to the government...what happens? If they spend it, it goes to provide jobs for people who make the items or provide the service. If they save it, it goes into a bank that lends it to people who want a mortgage to buy a home. If they invest it, it goes to companies to propel the economy forward.

Every tax has unintended consequences. Whenever I'm reading about an investment that doesn't seem to make sense, looking below the surface reveals a tax incentive to do that thing. So, it might not profit, but the after tax benefits drive it.

meanwhioe, we need a safe space to bitch about college loans and how there aren't enough high paying jobs in the fields of Art History, Interpretive Dance, and Grievance Studies,

I graduated high school in 1978, and. My 40th reunion was last year. There are some references in "That 70s Show" that make it seem like it's set in 1977 (went to see Star Wars at the theater). So, it's been as long since the show started as it was from the time the show was set until the show started.

:-@

How can anyone NOT balance a checkbook? Money out (checks written and fees) minus money in (deposits plus interest) equals how much less you have now vs. how much you had the last time youmreconciled all the statements.

Have you ever had a near drowning experience? You need something like a life jacket that keeps your head above water, not something that will keep,your arm extended overhead while your face remains a foot or two below the surface.

His comments are in response to all those people who used "hottest day in 20 years" and "hottest summer on record" as proof *of* climate change. His counterpoint, however simplistic, is equal to,some of the junk pushed by climate change promoters.

The US and other developed countries have reduced emissions of greenhouse gases, but any further improvement can't counteract all the impact from China and India. So before we wreck the developed world's economies over a few percent, the massive influence of the few mega polluters needs to be addressed.

Did you take out those loans willingly, or were you somehow coerced? Did you take care to keep,your costs low so as to minimize your necessary loans, or didmyoumgo,for the ultimate college experience and deny yourself no fun or pleasure during your time there? Did you study something that can act as a launching point for a good career that allows you to,pay back those loans, or did you just study something you enjoyed and presume everything would work out?

Luckily, humans don't share that trait, which is why socialism can work. We're all so altruistic that we don't mind working at more demanding jobs, or ones that require difficult and specialized training, for the same pay as easy ones because everyone will have his/her/its/their needs met. Well, what the State defines as "needs" at least.

"I'm the girl next door, LOLz. I like to eat pizza and fart. I'm not a size 2, so I'm a real person not a Hollywood phony."

The Golden Age of TV was when it was in black and white. That doesn't mean that color or digital is worse, or that we have to crap on the era back then because it had drawbacks. Why can't people be wistful about having a good life and nice home with one income in the family and relative safety from gun violence (despite fewer and less restitrictive gun laws)? Why can't we hope to return the stuff that was good or even great AND keep the progress that's been made in the areas that were less than great?

So men get sex dolls and women get this thing. What a wonderful futuristic world we're building.

Does nobody recall seeing the good Spiderman movie (Toby Maguire)?

And then they tear down all the buildings, bridges, roads, wells and water distribution systems, sanitary systems, etc. that the white people built. No, I guess they don't do,that, they just nationalize all the industries left there and then run them into the ground.

Some DO change the constitution left them, and look how that always turns out. But maybe some of you like dictators.

...hmmmm ...what about a larger ajar jar for ajar Jar Jar?

It's not worth $20 to be uncomfortable or away from all my stuff. The dolls' creepiness doesn't even enter into it.

Too bad a teacher doesn't use his/her opportunity to teach those students anything, but instead wishes to be able to ban certain words that are not,politically correct.

There are many places where it ISNT legal to,film or photograph police or government buildings. It's something you need to be aware of if you go outside of our (mostly) safe little corner of the world.

I'm amazed at how many of my fellow Americans think that everywhere else has the same rights that we do, from being able to come and go as we wish, to the presumption of innocent until proven guilty.

In this video, you can see how the Israelis have to secure their borders because of the terrorism that's constant in that part of the world. Most countries do have restrictions on entering them, and it's weird how some people imagine that the US has too many.

THIS IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE "NEVER JUDGE ANYONE" MENTALITY. If you used that to insist that people celebrate homosexuality and all the other things that you're OK with, you've also argued for pedophilia and incest, and necrophilia as well.

Can't helpbut notice all the democrats who used to be for border security but now want open borders.

It's similar when a pro-life pro-firearms democrat from a state that reflects those beliefs goes national, and suddenly becomes pro-choice to the point of voting against saving the life of an already-born baby, and becomes anti-firearms rights to a crazy extent. I done mean being for registering firearms or requiring background checks, but getting all foaming at the mouth to confiscate firearms from legal owners.

I have NEVER understood the need to insult or denigrate a girl or woman who merely said "no thanks" to a drink, or dance, or conversation. Besides just "common decency," why make yourself look like an ass to bystanders? Plus, maybe one of her friends is nice, but not to guys whose response to "no thanks" is an insult.

If her answer to "care to dance" is "Ewww...not with *you*" that's different, but my experience is that's less than 10%.

The amazing thing isn't that the dog doesn't do a better job of speaking and solving crimes, but that he speaks and contributes to the crime solving AT ALL!

Feminists: "It's terrible and immoral to judge women by their appearance, you fascist patriarchy-supporting Neanderthals!"
Also feminists: "Oh look! A conservative woman whose expression we can make fun of."

On their first date, she answers the door to see a man with no arms or legs.
"What do you think you can do without arms and legs?" she asked.
His reply: "I rang the doorbell, didn't I?"

If heard that joke about jimmy carter in 1977 or 1978.

We keep finding ways to celebrate mediocrity.

Although I think that's a good way to draw attention to the potholes that need to be fixed, my guess is that the road crews who eventually fix those holes will just throw those trees in a dumpster.

How clever using the positive characteristics of LEGAL immigrants to counter those people who are against ILLEGAL immigrants.

Shouldn't have taken out so much I. Loans to attend your dream private college to dual major in Women's Studies and Dance History.

...and yet Minnesota elected a US representative who believes that Israel should cease to exist, and there are several others who are quitter about following people who agitate for that as well.

This could also be a funny pic if the "Brazzers" overlay were added...

Interesting instance in the book "Getting To Yes" which is about negotiating. Jimmy Carter famously said he's never use nukes against the Soviets, so they were able to push him around in negotiations because he'd reduced his options without getting anything in return. Even the threat of nuclear retaliation back after the USSR had first used nukes would've gone back on what he said. Better to leave all your options open and then negotiate them away _while getting something in return_.
Hell, maybe it's even better for the US for its adversaries to worry that its president may be willing to do things other presidents wouldn't.

If the guy's cute, it doesn't matter what he says. It's like all those girls who like to claim that they like nerds...but what they really mean is that they like hunky guys in hipster glasses.
