sure, all you need is a mic, make sure it works, then I guess hop in to the waiting room\

!agree

just break the law @Neutronic

thats what we Americans do when our government acts like shit

No, minimum wage is an intervention in the market. It's neither socialism nor capitalism

The US is nominally capitalistic, but not entirely so. There are interventions in the free market

i.e., a mixed economy

US stock market cap is currently 137% of GDP, so yeah there's definitely significant investment in the economy

@Maw even if their money is stored in a bank, the bank is using it to earn interest. It's never really "just sitting there" unless they've got piles of gold or cash

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

where? in bongland?

wouldnt surprise me

doesn't surprise me at all

Facebook is a terrorist safe space lol

obviously if you say that Life is an inalienable right, you're a pro-life woman-hating Christian fundamentalist conservative

they aren't liberals, the democratic party and progressives in my country are the authoritarian left

booo

snoke?

he's not dead yet, you know

about TLJ, I think this analysis is pretty excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJhOpY7bh6s

I think it's because people live in a bubble. Most people really don't care that much, it's really just very vocal minority factions shouting at each other

This is why government needs to be small - so the individual can prosper

the largest party affiliation is none, I believe

most people are actually social democrats by ideology too, but they don't agree on a lot of specifics

not necessarily fiscal conservatives either. They're perfectly fine with government spending, just not "wasteful" spending

to most people, this is subjective

some people see the military as a waste, others see social programs as so

this is the real crux of the debate

I dont think the state should tell anyone what they should and shouldn't learn

Here's the question though: if we accept that men and women are physically different, and that women deserve equal opportunities as men, doesn't it make sense to hold women to a separate standard to men?

otherwise, we ultimately hold women to a higher standard

why must there be one uniform standard for soldiers though?

Just playing devil's advocate here

should be, but not necessarily is so

Here's another analogy that comes to mind: In Afghanistan, the best trained, most well-equipped military in the world (the US) went up against a band of illiterate goat-herders with old AK-47s from the Soviet Union. Certainly not equals in many respects, yet the Afghanis fared extremely well, not because of their physical prowess

It therefore may not necessarily be a disadvantage to have women in combat. It's not their physical prowess that matters, but how they are applied, tactically, in the battlefield

tactical titties indeed @Fitzydog

im in california, most fireworks are illegal due to fire hazards 😦

actually we have some of the most liberal knife laws in the country @Zednix

also, it's no longer a crime to spread AIDS

California lets you carry a blade of any length openly in public, as long as it's sheathed, and you can carry concealed knives below 5" without a permit

and yes it does @Zednix , all arms are covered

brandishing without cause is a crime in California too

self-defense only

all knives @Christopher ? also what city?

lol Fresno?

xD thats where I am

Fresno County at least @Christopher ?

ms-13 here in CA lol

and more

lol that's fucked. You have to be near the bay area then @Christopher , like Modesto maybe?

just from how gay that sounds lol

Hahahah knew it

the gayer something is in CA, the closer you are to San Francisco xD

thats my new theory

Fresno actually had a bit of a tech boom a couple years back because the costs got too high in San Francisco. It ended when they realized no one wants to live here, it's hotter than hell, and everyone's a farmer

we had like one mid-sized company spring up and then go bust, the rest moved out

a lot of the prudes from the bay area do, indeed

we arent really a small town either

think Mexican city

lol everywhere got more expensive in CA in the last 20 years no matter where you were

im actually gonna stay here. My family's wealth and property are already well-established, and once this California exodus is complete and prices begin to stabilize, I'll be able to "buy the dip", so to speak

Holy fuck who would willingly move to ND

My grandmother has a house in Detroit, so that's the only third-world shithole I'd ever have to go to

stayed there for a month in 2006 and it actually wasn't too bad

which will diminish over time @Christopher

and they certainly wont be giving dividends that time, I bet

lol

so if you catch rainwater on your property, since it's a natural resource, it's not yours and you have to pay the government for it?

or if you have solar panels on your house?

Alaska sounds fucked

!rank

it'

it's also because hispanics are probably the most nationalistic, if not outright racist people imaginable

have you heard the term 'La Raza' @Christopher ?

the people of the community are sovereign, after all

lol "I want a jackboot on my neck at all times" xD

so you only want a boot on your neck 78.1% of the time?

xD

i regard myself as a social democrat, but my political compass has me libertarian-right, but pretty much centrist

everything

"Buttsex is gay even with women"

my day is done

im a professional spic tyvm

fucking knew it

christ what a fat cuck

whats wrong with abominations like the bald spic girl?

I dont agree with her opinions, but there's nothing wrong with holding them either

lol wtf

Really? I'd rather just put a bullet in the back of their head @Deleted User

much more efficient

talking shit? I believe pedophiles should be executed. wow so controversial xD

you can harvest organs after an execution @Deleted User

oh noes, we have about 30 minutes before we have to put it in a freezer
