illegals pay taxes and they get no benefit from it

Explain how illegals pay taxes aside from sales tax and other taxes related to buying things

They don't. People just like to say taxes as if it's all encompassing.

Correct, and they also get a tremendous benefit from being here. Namely in the form of security that our tax dollars fund that doesn't exist in their country.

Anyway, CNN absolutely race baited and misreported information in both the Trayvon and Mike Brown cases to get dumb people prone to victim rhetoric all worked up.

Agreed. But this is no different from what Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly had done for decades. There has always been a market for mainstream shit news with spin, and dumb people have eaten it up for decades.

Bill and Rush are not news reporters, they're commentators. Not remotely equivalent.

Holy fuck the whataboutism in this topic. This is the 4th time I will be posting this:

Post #53

You have a situation where people are literally carrying weapons and threatening your life based on your skin color or religion. Sorry, but you do not become a shittier person than them just because you attack before they do. That, too, is self defense. For the record, if you want to punch an Antifa member who is holding a brick, feel free.

You realize whataboutism is your entire argument in this topic, right? These neo-Nazis haven't actually committed genocide or mass atrocities at all, you argument is what about the actual Nazis in WW2 who did, which, as has also been pointed out, is not the same group.

You say it "makes you a violent criminal" specifically because it completely removes the context of the situation.

This is what the law also says, not just me. And I included the proper content -- that you attacked a person without provocation. The remaining part about how their rhetoric hurts your feelings is irrelevant to the law. They have a constitutionally protected right to that speech.

This actually needs to be explained to you? At its simplest form, one group had the will and capability to actually commit said genocide. The other is a group of angry losers with no institutional power or mechanism to oppress anyone.

So there is no real difference in their ideology, just a difference in their ability to carry out their goals on a large scale?

I never got an answer to this, @The_Admiral

You're kind of glossing over the major point here. If one group has no ability and isn't making any effort to carry out those cries of genocide, then they're completely impotent. They're literally just words. At that point, your calls for violence against them are just an expression of hate from your end. You become worse than these neo-Nazis once you throw the first punch.

Why no stocks assuming it's with money after 401k & IRA are maxed and it's invested companies that you believe will be good long term and you're not attempting to day trade?

because "what you believe" is probably not correlated with long term market performance at all

What would you recommend doing with extra money after retirement accounts are maxed?

The advice above, and which I agree with, would be to put that into a low-cost index fund. If you're relatively young (under 25), you should have about 80% of your money in equity-related investments (which includes those index funds) and the other 20% in bond funds. Both Vanguard and Fidelity have great selections of low-cost funds in both of those categories.

No institutional power yet they have a death toll in the hundreds and they aren't even being observed by the government anymore as terrorist threats

Not sure why that's surprising to you. Black gang members annually commit several thousand homicides, and they don't have institutional power either. Not to mention, you need to go back several decades to accumulate that death toll, and that's by lazily grouping all right-wing domestic violence under the same umbrella.

The fact that you really can't make an argument here without being hyperbolic or disingenuous is usually a red flag that you're on the wrong side of the issue.

Secondly, could you explain why it matters at all if it's a WW2 Nazi or a 2017 Neo Nazi? Both groups advocate white supremacy and both groups are for the removal of people of color by force. The only difference is the former actually attempted it while the latter is just gearing up for it.

This actually needs to be explained to you? At its simplest form, one group had the will and capability to actually commit said genocide. The other is a group of angry losers with no institutional power or mechanism to oppress anyone. If this difference is hard for you to understand, it might explain why you're struggling so much to get the rest.

Punching people unprovoked is bad, but that in no way makes someone shittier than a Nazi. Come on, remember what Nazi ideology is actually about.

Yes, as much as it might hurt your feelings, it does.

Like you all have been corrected about before, these "Nazis" in 2017 America are not WW2 Nazis, and you don't get to lazily group them just because it helps your argument. If you're out punching some neckbeard loser who thinks white supremacy rhetoric is edgy, you're a shittier person than he is. This is not even debatable. Don't like that? Don't be a violent piece of shit who assaults people.

That's a ridiculous thing to say. Someone who punches a nazi over their ideology is not a shittier person than someone who is a nazi.

How can you possibly defend that statement.

Yes, they in fact are. One is a violent criminal, the other is not.

NibeIungsnarf posted...

I'm confused about the article. It seems the judge is blaming the defendant for putting up a defense.

The "expressed horror" is just Rawstory bullshit clickbait. The man pleaded guilty, and one of the things the judges need to do is assess if the person is actually remorseful, as this affects the sentence. Letters from friends and community leaders are usually presented as evidence that the person is a good member of society and should be given leniency. These letters go beyond that and call into question the man's plea, which is somewhat troublesome to the judge as they indicate he might not really believe that what he did was wrong/criminal.

If it's not obvious, the intelligent position here is to not go around punching people so long as their actions are limited to words. Yes, even if those words are hateful and call for things like genocide, they are still just words and do not merit unilateral violence. If you're the one "punching the Nazi" who's out spouting his BS, congrats, you've created a situation in life where you are a shittier person than a Nazi.

Which, by the way, I'm fairly certain is incorrect as it's the same rationale why a teacher can't legally have sex with an of age student.

The teacher would be fired for that, but unless there was evidence of coercion, it wouldn't be a crime.

Depends on the state, and what one means by "of age".

While a majority of states have the AoC at 16 or 17, many also raise that to 18 when it's with people in an authority position, despite any evidence against coercion. Meaning a teacher would face criminal charges if they have sex with a legal 16/17 year old student, even if the student testifies in court that it was 100% consensual and even offers some form of evidence of the fact.

That's true, but I was assuming this same story set in NY, where the AOC is 17.

Finding an actual medical cure. SRS, hormones, and societal acceptance are all imperfect treatments.

I bet people said this about gay people too. "Yeah we can just like... Let them fuck each other since it's not hurting anyone else, but it an imperfect treatment. We need to cure what's wrong with them! Homosexuality serves no biological purpose!"

The key difference being that homosexuality is not a medical condition, whereas transgenderism is.

Out of curiosity, whenever I read articles that talk about saving x% of your income, it doesn't specify what to save for. Does that all go to retirement? Rainy day fund?

I save about 17% of our gross income, but that's spread between retirement, pensions, vacation fund, rainy day fund, and saving for my sons education.

This only covers the basics, but the hierarchy for saving is generally as follows:

1. If you have any credit card debt that's accruing interest, pay that off first.
2. Set aside a rainy day/emergency fund equal to 6 months or so of your living expenses. Put this in a liquid account.
3. Contribute until you max out your retirement account, as this is tax deductible. Any income earned in that account is tax deferred
4. Last, invest in your personal investment accounts (i.e. non-retirement).

Participants low in explicit racial prejudice actively avoided endorsing free speech values in racialized conditions compared to nonracial conditions, but participants high in racial prejudice increased their endorsement of free speech values in racialized conditions.

Basically people on both sides use free speech arguments when it suits the type of speech they support. Not only should this be common sense, I'm not sure why you and the paper go with the clickbait-ish title that only calls out one side for that behavior.

Number 1 never made much sense to me. Don't waste your money is much better advice. I usually save 40%+. Should I just blow 20% of my income every month because of a budget?

If you can comfortably save 40%, save 40%. Most people don't have that luxury. This is just a guideline for helping people meet their financial goals.
