This is a very bad thing AND you have an agenda.

Also many American Christians that are posting here wouldn't like that church itself or the people worshipping there as they are Coptic, brown, and worshipping Allah since they are Arabs who speak Arabic.

Cute face but too skinny. But good for her she gets to be a princess.

So? The Bush 2 tax cuts were supposed to expire in ten years, which together with the $300 bribe to everybody was how they got passed. But ten years later his cousin made them permanent.

I don't see these being any different, letting them expire as designed will then be attacked as 'raising taxes' again.

Largely because the nation of Israel is forever tied to the colonialsm that formed it.

Israel was formed because of a UN resolution...

Oh, I didn't realize that it was that simple of an issue. So why are you hating on the UN right now? Are you afraid that they are going to unresolute Israel?

Also shouldn't you be more angry about todays security council vote of 14-1 against the US over our declaration on recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel?

No, because it changes nothing?

Because we still have veto power. Yet even our allies are not on our side with this move, which should be a little worrying and eye opening as our global power wanes and yet we still want to take unilateral actions.

Maybe? Since she is getting chronic headaches maybe chronic could help her?

We pretending like the UN doesn't sanction those countries all the time or something?

But why does Israel get more than half of Human Rights resolutions? Can you explain that?

Largely because the nation of Israel is forever tied to the colonialsm that formed it. The Balfour Declaration doesn't sit well with many people for good reasons. But what does the human rights council mean to you anyways? You know who is the chair of it right now right?

Also shouldn't you be more angry about todays security council vote of 14-1 against the US over our declaration on recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel?

That sucks but why did it happen? Is there an election happening there soon and/or have there been many protests against the government lately?

Good for you man, now move forward with your plans. Go out there, get a GF, put a baby in her, and reenlist in the military.

Just finished Stick of Truth and am now picking Yakuza Kiwami back up. It's kind of a weird tonal shift since Kiwami has no farting and a lot more stomping, but it's a fun game too.

Why did you switch over to this alt?

What?

Who do you think I am exactly?

iirc you blew up your own spot a month or two ago by switching alts too quickly and posted 'sorry wrong account' on a topic you had made about abortions. I could be wrong, because I'm wrong plenty often, but ultimately am not concerned with what your main account is.

Yeah, you definitely have me confused with someone else. I've never made a topic about abortions.

It's all good, as I said I'm often wrong and don't care enough to screen shot stuff like some people do. We're all a part of CE, that's what makes this place what it is.

The best things in life are white fudge Oreos, which cost $2.99 a box, so I'm gonna have to disagree

Have you had the mint Oreos? They are even better imo.

Why would the taxes be different if it's weekly pay or not? Federal, fica, and state or local (or not, depends where you are) end up being the same whether it's for one week or two if it's for the same amount of hours each week.

I'm not sure what you are asking TC, is this the first paycheck you have ever gotten? If so the important thing to learn is to never look at the gross pay, because gross pay isn't real and looking at that number will just piss you off.

Why are you feeling guilty about music that you like? Are you a teenager?

Are you asking if you can say underroos? Arent those kid underwear? Is this a pedo thing?

If so then ewww.

INFP

I've gotten more than just spit on my food, I've gotten bile and all kinds of digestive enzymes on it too.

What up TC since you are a Britisher why don't you just pay attention to your own ****** politics?

not atm

Oh then I guess you'll just be tired at work for a day or two and then fall back into your regular sleep schedule as the days go on.

Yeh, but I have trouble falling asleep nowdays, and when I do sleep my SSRI is giving me super vivid dreams that are hard to wake up from. And I feel weird when I wake up.

Yeah those are ****ed up brain meds that have all kinds of powerful effects on people.

So she's looking for bring more attention to her articles and book and you're giving her attention here. Good job TC, you're helping out this lady.

Is she paying you or is she a family member and you're just helping her out little for free?

I read the article and it makes sense. There are a lot of Indian people in the UK so of course they will vote for big name Bollywood stars.

I wonder how that same poll would go in the US?

Because they weren't planning on closing the business a year later. Price fixing allows them all to make more money year after year after year after year after...

Gaming websites rely on advertising revenues and the biggest advertisers are the game publishing companies. Also publishers can show favoritism to certain websites and reviewers by providing early access/review copies to those willing to gargle them, or blacklisting those who write unfavorably about their games.

Second would be that most games take a long time to play compared to the time spent consuming most other forms of media so someone reviewing one as a "job" isn't particularly motivated to explore it in the depth it deserves if they're expected to produce so many articles within a given time.

Combine these two aspects, and the fact that the first reviews generate the most traffic and "buzz", you have a recipe for trash that isn't worth the bandwidth spent to read it.

Came in to post this. Business is business.

It's legal here and I'm not smoking right now since I'll be changing jobs in a few weeks so I have to take a drug test.

Most people here view it pretty much like alcohol, something you do or don't use but ultimately don't care that much about. It's just another legal intoxicant.

Because we are trained to not like each other for so many reasons to prevent solidarity, as that would be a threat to the system. This is the purpose of wedge issues like religion, abortion, race, sexuality, etc. to keep us fighting each other over the crumbs, and not looking together at where most of the pie is going.

Its why we can talk about race but not talk about class. Talking about race, or whatever other 'thing' you are identifying with (**** identity politics), does not threaten the system at all. Seeing yourself as an individual 'identity' helps prevent solidarity with others around you.

To quote George Carlin 'when the middle is focused on hating the bottom the top can continue to take all the money. It's a very simple plan that happens to work very well.'

Or to quote Carl Rove in 2004 when he was working to get Bush 2 reelected 'ultimately I don't care what people think about God, guns, and gays. I just prefer that people think about God, guns, and gays than think about where their jobs went.'

A bubble is definitely on it's way. With massive tax breaks to corporations on top of an already huge income equality the US is experiencing it's pretty much guaranteed we'll see another recession and probably even worse than the one in 2008.

It's what happens when you focus solely on short term gains.

It's part of how the system works. When bubbles burst the richest can buy up the things that others built up while the bubble was growing, further consolidating their power while everyone else is getting ****ed.

I'm not saying that it is all planned out in advance every time, but historically that is how it has been happening. The system of late stage capitalism that we live in has turned very inwardly parasitic and predatory because there are very few external 'frontiers' left to exploit. It's not the 17th and 18th centuries anymore with the Americas to plunder or the 19th century with Africa and Asia to dominate and exploit. Yes we are doing what we can today with Africom, but it's a far cry from the height of colonialism in the 1800s.

Yeah in the last decade the system got Iraq's industries as they had been national, and Libya's gold, and Obama opened up Iran just enough to jam Goldman Sachs in there (while maintaining most of the sanctions to keep EU banks out), but there are very few nations left with national industries to plunder.

Inward looting through privatization is the only route left for capitalism, so that's what is happening. 'Grab as much as you can and **** everybody else before the next crash' is all that left for the system right now.

And yeah the next crash will be worse than the last, and the last cost ten million jobs as well as 14 trillion dollars of peoples' home, investment, and retirement wealth. The banks are bigger now, most people have even less in savings, and less job security too. One of the big parts in the new tax bill is letting the corporations bring back something of the trillions they have off shore at a low rate, which will help put off the next day crash a few more years, but it ultimately will still happen and it will be fast and terrifying.

tl;dr never blame others too harshly if they don't want to pay attention to what's actually going on as it's only going to get a lot worse for 95% of the human race.

The Bush era tax cuts caused the housing mortgage bubble???

No that was from a combination of policies during the administrations of Clinton and Bush 2.

Remember Bush 2 bragging about how the rate of home ownership was higher under his administration than at any point in the past? Or how his cousin never did a thing to stop any of the foreclosures that occurred during his time in office?

All presidents continue with and build on what they inherit from the guys before them. The six presidents and were before Trump have differed some on a few social policies but have all worked towards neoliberal policies, as does Trump himself. That's the system we live under.

I didn't say they were the cause. They just did absolutely nothing to avoid or help the situation.

They were never meant to help ~85% of the nation, which is why everybody was bribed with $300 to help make it palatable to the majority. Also they were only meant to last for ten years, and then when they were going to expire his cousin made them permanent.

people yearning for higher taxes... realize people can make better decisions with their own money than the government right?

Lol no they can't

You think those people are going to pay for schools, defense, infrastructure, etc on their own?

Again, with the narrative we have been fed for over a generation now what else do you expect people to think?

Webmaster4531 posted...

The Bush era tax cuts were in effect the whole recession.

No they, along with the unfunded wars he and his cousin started, are a big chunk of our national debt but were not the biggest cause of the recession.

The 07-08 crash was largely a result of Clinton's deregulations of the financial sector such as the repeal of the Glass-Stegall Act and Futures Commodities Modernization Act. People like Clinton because his bubble didn't burst while he was still in office.

The muscular movie actors are also for male power fantasies, which is why you look to them as you are juicing.

The fact that taxes are the price of civilization is not the point here TC. We have been told for over 30 years now that taxes are bad, government is bad, and greed is good. What do you really expect most people to think?

Some people may have laughed at Margaret Thatcher at the time when she was saying that 'there is no alternative' but 30 years later that's become true enough. How many of us could even think of an alternative to the current system we have now and a way to get to it?

And? I think you are missing the middle part or last part of your post TC.

Not just force of habit, but that is defnitely a part if it. I generally find the night crew a lot better than the daytime posters, and since I'm a nighttime person I do come here a lot when I don't have other things going on irl.

Now he's dead

Not just now, he was dead yesterday too.

It's already there and has been for a long time. Clinton started it and Bush continued the process. Before our current president the wall was always a bipartisan thing.

No as I don't even know him irl so I've never hung out with him. Is he that good of a wingman?

Don't know as I haven't read it yet and therefore don't know yet how it will effect this country over the next decade. But I figure that it ultimately won't be good for 95% of the people of this nation and will continue us on the neoliberal track developed and built upon by the last six presidents.

Yes I have put women in the friendzone. Just because somebody has the tingles for a other person doesn't mean it's mutual, that's part of life.

That makes sense because some of the people who saw SS and didn't like it decided that they were not going to see JL.

Just like how it will be interesting to see how sales of Anthem will be next year after so many people were mad at EA for Andromeda and Battlefront 2 this year.

I could see it as he has the name recognition and won't be fighting anymore. It will get in the way of him hosting all those pool tournaments, but so be it.

I didn't realize that there were enough people in that state to form a line.
