Huh? If a husband kills his wife out of rage because she had an affair, that murder isn't as bad as two guys killing a gay man? Where is the logic in that? Murder is murder. I don't think the dead...

Mike, while the FBI says that, it's clearly not true. There have been court cases that have upheld enhanced (worse) sentences for hate crimes. That means what a person may be thinking when they...

What - exactly and objectively - is "hate speech?" Who decides who or what gets censored or prosecuted for such speech? When did a crime, any crime, become subject to worse penalties because of what...

If that demographic shift proves true we'll have one party rule. I, for one, think that's a horrible thing for the country, regardless of which party it is. I'm sure democrats will disagree.

And I'm zeroing in on this part of your last post Mike:



So, states with large defense contracting sectors and more military bases get more federal dollars, and states with lots of federal...

And what is the rest of the story Mike? Where do those dollars go? Do they go directly to people in the form of welfare, or do they go to infrastructure, military bases, and all manner of other...

I'll just address this last part Mike. First though, I asked because I don't know who those women are or their views. Are there wicked and idiotic people in Congress? Yup, on BOTH sides of the aisle....

:spit:

Mike, why are Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene a “POS?” I think AOC is a delusional fruitcake but I wouldn’t call her a POS. Disagreeing with someone on politics is one thing, calling them a...

RIP Carol. If you know Al and have his contact info, let him know you're thinking of him. He's going to have a tough time for a while.

For those here who met Al and Carol over the years, I figured you’d want to know that Carol is in a coma in hospice care and not expected to regain consciousness. Al is by her side. He used to be...

Now Dr. Fauci says we should all wear two masks, one over the top of the other. :rolleyes:

We were in the same place a few years ago. Looked at a whole lot of states and towns. We ended moving to a small barrier island at the NE tip of FL two years ago. We love it here and have no regrets.

And some sheep will do just that. :rolleyes:

450,000 people die EVERY YEAR in the U.S.from smoking, and they’re not all smokers. Smoking is legal and heavily taxed by the government. If we really wanted to save lives we’d ban smoking - but it’s...

Florida: No lockdowns. No mask mandate. Everything open at 100% capacity.

NY and CA: Draconian lockdowns. Statewide mask mandates. Many businesses closed or severely limited in capacity.

I didn’t work for the same company all 40 years Mike. After getting out of the Navy I worked several different places, each of which required relocation. I worked for the same company the past 25...

Wait, what? Private companies are following the law, which limits their profits, and you're pissed? Is that the fault of the companies following the law? Should they ignore the profit limits in the...

So, still allow "the rich" as defined by income pay the most taxes AND heavily tax corporations. Gotcha. You do know, I assume, that those corporations for the most part are international and are...

They already are - by a wide margin. In 2017, the top 1 percent of taxpayers accounted for more income taxes paid than the bottom 90 percent combined. So, how much more should "the rich" pay? What's...

I don't have the time for a lengthy copy & past reply, so I'll just ask a couple of questions:

Mike, the first time you brought up taxing "the rich" you threw out a number of, I believe, $17M...

Mike et al,

I appreciate the calm, reasoned responses. I vehemently disagree with some of them, but that's life.

As far as a "living wage," who gets to determine what that means, and how much...

:thumbsup:

Matt, I just read every post in this thread. I found none “being mean” to you or belittling you. I did find some the other direction. If you want to engage in a civil discussion, great. If not, don’t...

I don’t see any arguing in the last 6 or 7 posts - until your post. I don’t see any sarcasm or insults in the last 6 or 7 posts - until your post. See a pattern?

Two questions Mike:

Define “rich” using a number. What net worth, or what annual income, makes a person “rich” and therefore subject to higher taxes?

What, exactly, do you mean by “universal...

You must have a lot of free time Mike. :flipoff2:

I didn’t vote for either Trump or Biden. I couldn’t vote for either with a clear conscience. YMMV.

I also think it’s bad for the country...

Your pure hatred of which you admit, and the vitriol you post about "conservatives" (as if there's a single definition of that term) is actually quite shocking Mike - and probably not healthy.

American Cancer Society has predicted 30,000 additional deaths from cancer due to denied or delayed treatment. Those people’s lives don’t matter either.

Some of y’all take this anonymous Internet forum stuff WAY too serious. :flipoff2:
