Just reading my words on this forum is influencing and creating a revolutionary way of thinking that things can change for the better not for the worse.
Clearly we have a visionary man here. This is the presidential campaign of the future. He is going to change America by posting YouTube videos in the forums of an MMORPG that is over a decade old. He has managed to sway less than half a dozen people to his ideas, but can't even manage to get any of them to defend his statements a majority of the time. He holds no current office, refuses any funding, and has no proof of education. If that doesn't say "future Mr. President", I don't know what does. Taking a cheap shot here, but that seemed to work well for GB Jr. Except, he had an education. He didn't refuse funding, and he was governor of Texas while he was running for President. And he was only stupid, not batshit crazy.

basic math dictates you will eventually save up enough money. "Well, honey, after 57 years of living with my parents and working three jobs, we finally have enough to buy a shitty property on the souths--- AACK!" And then he died of a heart attack aged 73.
TOTALLY WORTH IT!
you're calculator is broken!
If it takes you 57 years to save up 50 thousand dollars...
$877 a year / 3 x forty hour a week jobs!?
No wonder you are so behind on your bills! you are only making fourteen cents and hour!

live at home with your parents until you save up enough money to buy a small place. That's not always an option for everyone.
then those people can work two jobs...
look, the important part is you SPEND LESS THAN YOU EARN.
basic math dictates you will eventually save up enough money. But Nik...
Having even 1 job makes you a slave to the proletariat!
Having 2 jobs, makes you a slave to the US government to double tax your income!

You'll have to highlight what you're talking about, because I can't find a single thing in there that applies to Dubya.

Lakshmi.Sparthosx said: »In a capitalist society, we depend on the debt cycle and demand in order for people to stay employed and thus spending money on crap like a PS4. We get so many mixed messages about debt that it's hardly surprising no one knows what the hell to make of it, though.
Debt on a governmental level is basically a good thing, gloom-and-doom predictions about Chinese retaliation ignored, yet individual debt is problematic. The whole system needs, if not debt, at least constant flow of money (nothing says you can't save, but our system has developed to the point of needing extravagant spending to support that idiot free trade, wholly organic, vegan, soy hippie coffee house when a bucket of Folger's used to suit people fine). It's hardly a wonder many people looked askance on George W. Bush when he said that sitting at home and not spending money would be letting the terrorists win, even though he was more or less correct.
Indeed, never actually accruing a debt leaves one with a worse credit rating than not, though I guess credit rating only really enters into things when asking for a loan, so it gets a little chicken-and-egg there.
If we want to go after the biggest offenders when it comes to accruing but not spending money, though, the people who are really putting the brakes on the US economy, we shouldn't be looking at people confined to wage slavery or living just barely above that level, but rather to the people banking half a billion dollars a year and parking 90% of it to sit in a Swiss account doing nothing. If we accept that money is a fiction, and it is since it's just meant to be a shortcut around the usual barter of goods and services, then it's ridiculous to consider all those man-hours being locked in a small room.

No wonder you are so behind on your bills! you are only making fourteen cents and hour! Yes, it's fun to play with math.
Nonetheless, my point stands: I agree with you on everything except buying a house. You can argue all you like about austerity, but plenty of us already live in needlessly austere conditions already. I love those articles about families that pay down a $20,000 debt in a year by making X, Y, and Z cutbacks because the article never points out that mom and dad were pulling down $100,000 between them, meaning they still had $80,000 in expenses to feed, clothe, and house themselves, the three kids, and Rover.

I wouldn't say evil, but they are very sneaky, and they like to lie.
I frequently catch one of my two cats acting as lookout while the other is up to no good. When they realize I'm watching, they protest their innocence.

It doesn't, but it sure helps to be able to spell it correctly.
Collage
Also, selectively choosing a small portion of my argument to harp on does not make the rest of my argument invalid. Good luck becoming President without votes.

( which i am, i don't have to but i am because there nothing wrong with it) We still wonder.
By the way, what college are you going to?
where in the constitution does it say you have to be a millionaire or billionaire ? Who said that was a requirement?
where in the constitution does it say you have to have owned a company? Who said that was a requirement? Besides, Obama never owned a company. He failed at being a lawyer, even got disbarred.

Well, if you ask me, natural born citizens should be protected until they turn 18, and then should have to pass the same citizenship requirements as any immigrant would through naturalization. The idea that 1 in 3 US citizens can't pass the naturalization test is abhorrent to me when their votes carry the same weight as the people who have earned their citizenship through hard work and DOHC/USCIS extortion.

While I do agree that our electorate ought to be far better educated in terms of civics (and I'm laying a lot of this on personal sloth since the basics of civics are material for 10-year-olds), I sort of read this another way: if we allow citizens as dumb as this to remain voting citizens, we ought to loosen our immigration policies. That was a part of the reason the founders let people born in our borders be citizens, I think, just to bulk out the numbers.

The civics test is a joke and if you've lived here your whole life and can't answer that basic ***you should be prisoner swapped for Mexican nationals.
I mean seriously, who are the Patriots? Easy. Laleluleilo.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
