This is about the developing world man.

The U.S. already spends more on Medicare and Medicaid per person than most first wo
D countries spend on health care we just have a fucked up and broken system. It is absurd to say "how can we afford this" when we spend double the amount per person on care tham the u, or gre,any which both have first world U inverse systems. We obviously can afford it if we cut the fat and cut the advertising and exploitative bullshit inherent to our system.

How the heck can you not afford $192? What do you do for a living?

Whoa.

transwomen are conflicted. many keep their penis, but quite a few undergo the operation
transmen tend to keep their vaginas, unfortunately medical science has not progressed to the point where penises and testicles can be replicated as easily

What is many in terms of actually getting their fun bits removed? Are we talking 5%? 10%? More? When I read "transitional surgery" I usually imagine someone getting boobs.

I just can't imagine how that would be any fun regardless of your gender identity.

If the Germans had won ww2 Africa would either have been emptied of people or enslaved. The African American population wouldn't exist in the occupied USA because they would have been murdered. You get that right?

Liberal dreams

Dude.... African Americans in the us are something like 7 times more likely to commit murder for a wide variety of socio economic reasons. Americans today and from the 1940s onward in particular have not done a great job at addressing the needs of this community and il, freely admit that.

But you haves to realize that the nazis would have reacted to data like that by sterilizing and outright murdering every single black person in the US if they had won the war. That is how they dealt with people that didn't fit into their ideal world immediately. They didn't believe if lifting people up they believed in killing everyone that was in the near term seen as lesser.

Yes.

I agree that Pit Bulls are a problem while also agreeing that it is mostly a problem with the owners.

To a certain extent its a self reinforcing cycle. Pit Bulls have the worst reputation of any dog in America so responsible people are far less likely to choose to own a pit bull. Meanwhile the people that go out looking for a mean looking dog will often choose a pit bull.

That being said Pit Bulls were and still are bred to fight and its entirely possible that they are naturally more aggressive.

All I need is a monitor, but I can wait a few more paychecks to get a nice one.

Just go for a 1080p monitor with those specs. If you try to run 1440p or god forbid 4k on with 1060 you're gonna have a bad time.

And another department in charge of marketing an array of plans that ease off the throttling and get slightly closer to how the Internet used to be.

This will be called "job growth" at the ISP and the rest will go to increased profits and compensation packages for management.

Most people aren't racist online but you grew up in a bubble where you never saw racism so 1/20 people being outspoken racists is jarring is the real answer.

I've known plenty of racists in real life at this point so I basically just shrug off the racists I see online as just those types without the filter and restraint that real life introduces. You on the other hand live in the la la land that is either school in the suburbs or a private school in the 21rst century and you can go through the whole way without meeting people that think one race is inferior to any other.

I feel like a raccoon would not take a run at a human but it would take a run at a terrier to steal it's food/territory. This guy saw his dog being attacked by a wild animal and he reacted in a natural way and you can't fault him.

That being said....... this was not a fair fight. You have a full grown man raging out and hurling a 20 pound raccoon down a flight of stairs.

I feel like someone is going to put this guy down regardless of the verdict in the case.

We took half their country without much resistance. More than 100 times as many Americans were killed in battle in the Civil War 20 years after the Mexican war than died taking half of Mexico.

Im not going to join the army just to get medically discharged because Im not a scum bag

Then shut up.

I did join the army and I did my tIme and deployed twice and I didn't make some shameless grab for a disability check I don't need when I ETSed. My father, grandfathers, and great grandfathers didn't either when they served. Because I'm from a Long line of people that aren't white trash and I don't see military service as a ticket for like for just being in the military for a few years.

My problem with the TC is that he isn't even talking about being injured or wounded. He is bragging about gaming the system. Fuck that. People like him are the real reason the real wounded get a pittance. The guy with no legs works an office job and the tc pretends he is too crippled with anxiety to get out of bed while bragging about it anonymously online.

A guy gets his legs blown off and he gets less Than some guy like the tc that never deployed but walks into a va office and says he feels achy all over and sad because his NCOs yelled at him sometimes.

As someone who did 6 years in the NAVY, we never respected the "I'm going to medical" guy

what does this mean? what's it mean to be the "I'm going to medical" guy

The guy that medboards out with zero deployments, zero wounds, and zero reasons other than that they are white trash andthat is how trash gets through life without working a job.

Tc confirm or deny but....

1. You were a brokedick shit bag while you were in the military and the military pushed you out like a rancid turd,

2. You made the grab for the easy money and claimed all the invisible things.

3. You are now a fat guy driving around a big suv with disabled veteran plates for your fat loser related disabilities like sleep apnea that plays the broken veteran while avoiding speaking to actual veterans whenever possible because they would spit on you.

I just came to this depressing realization.

I've always thought of it as a backup plan. If things get real bad here we could just steal all of Canada stuff and fix the economy but I realized recently that the nature of modern economies doesn't really involve there being all that much easily movable wealth on hand that you could loot out of a country to make it worthwhile and Canada is actually one of the worst countries when it comes to some thing like this.

I realize this is depressing to think about for most of us but even if we attacked Canada and stole all their shit it wouldn't really give u a significant boost in wealth even temporarily.

Space Crack. Its crack in space.

Saryoria..... do not post topics like this.

If the US actually deported the entire lower class along with every disabled or economically non self sufficient person then it would be monstrous but it would also be a utopia for the remaining population.

Never never never say that you are leaving the country because some other country offers better welfare benefits for people that can't provide for themselves. I get that you believe that you are a special and valuable member of society and that your parents and loved ones feel that way as well but from a distance you just look like a net taker. Someone that gets more out of society than they put in. Someone that we regretfully carry on our back as a burden but that we would be more than willing to pass over to someone else if they are willing to take some brokedick net loss taker as a citizen.

Never speak about providing better welfare benefits for Americans in the form of begging unless you have some magic justification for why you deserve a hand out. If you are posting from the perspective of "I want to go to a country where unskilled people that are a burden of a state get a bigger hand out" you will get a laugh and a kick on the butt on your way out the door if anyone will take you.

You get that right?

They seem weird in the sense that these dark ages medieval Europeans invested vast quantities of resources in most cases over the course of generations and in some cases over the course of centuries to complete these mammoth constructions.

It seems like a waste of resources for poor societies to make but at the same time they are iconic and in many cases they are the only thing of a community to survive through the centuries to the present day. In most towns and cities there is nothing from that era but if a community built a grand cathedral of solid stone rising into the sky it still stands as a work of art.

Sounds like you've got the herpesyphilitus...... and AIDS.

Yeah, I fear an ugly reaction to this.

I honestly think people will look back on this as the verdict that built the wall. Fox News is going to wave the bloody shirt for a decade after this and say that Californians and other liberal states want to let illegals kill your children and it will work.

This is a disaster.

Do you have an abnormal heart rate?

I don't think so? Like I have been putting a couple fingers to my neck and it seems fine even as my hand over my heart feels like its wacky. Is it just the muscle then?

What do?

Basically for the past two days I've had this thing where it feels like my left pec is twitches a few times. It doesn't hurt at all but I notice it. Am I dying?

I feel like I've been stuck at 299k forever.

She is a good looking girl but she looks too young. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Keep in mind that when you look at a Starbucks drive through you are looking a caffeine addicts that are ....
1. Stupid.
2. Rich.
3. Someone that works for a rich people that is getting an order that will be delivered to work.

Most caffeine addicts get it practically for free at work. Workplaces in the US often basically have a tap open for workers to ingest caffeine to their heart's desire. For people that don't like coffee but like caffeine there are energy drinks which you can buy in bulk at costco or even at a grocery store.

It was the last movie I watched alone in a theater and I enjoyed it.

For English/German:

Tuesday = Tyr's day
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BDr
Wednesday = Woden/Odin's day
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin
Thursday =Thor's day
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor
Friday = Freya's Day
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freyja

The English saturday is the same as the Latin one which is another god and the latin languages have Roman gods for the days of the week in the same slots.

But in all seriousness why did the ridiculously zealous dark age christians keep Pagan god names for their days of the week. Were they already at the point where are today where they were heavily confident that these old gods never existed so the reason for the name of that day of the week was a funny historical anectode rather than a challenge to their religion?

It just sems weird to me. Were they really that confident in their own religion that the names of the old gods for the days of the week meant nothing?

This is true, but be careful saying this on CE. There are some unbelievably stupid people here who refuse to acknowledge that your income will be around 30% less once all taxes are taken out. No joke, they'll argue with you on whether or not it's actually 30% even though some basic math would show that to be the case.

And then they'll argue about how it should be 40% or 50% lol.

I sympathize on both sides to be honest. I pay a a much higher tax rate in terms of % of my income than Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump or Mitt Romney, or basically anyone rich because I play by the set of rules that the working man plays by and they play by the set of rules that billionaires play by. These guys actually admit that these pay these rates and to their credit most of them agree it is bullshit that they pay a lower tax rate than their secretaries do.

I don't consider myself to be bad off by any means but I would demand they pay at least what I'm paying.

I'm not sure that the pay rate matters. What matters is the total amount they paid. They contribute far more than they consumed, and because of them hundreds of thousands of people are contributing taxes that they wouldn't have otherwise contributed. That's why the IRS is friendly to businesses - the tax rate a business owner contributes is multiplied by the taxes contributed by the employees as well.

I do think billionaires should have a higher rate, but it wouldn't meaningfully impact tax revenue and it doesn't change that in terms of raw numbers, their 15% tax rate or whatever is a mindboggingly larger sum than our 30% of our income.

That just seems nuts to me and I'll explain why.

Imagine a family business (lets say restaurants) that has 30 family members working it. A grandpa patriarch and a bunch of kids and grandkids working the business. If he pays his family fair wages the business as a whole will maybe pay 20% in taxes on those wages evened out between the higher taxed workers (managers, the man himself) and the lower taxed workers (waiters, etc).

But under your system if he kept all the money to himself and just paid his employees in gifts or under the table he could pay a 1% tax rate. Because fuck equity of any sort. Him keeping all the money to himself means that he is obviously contributing 30 times more to the economy than if he actually paid his family members for working.

What you are talking about would be a hundred times more regressive than a flat tax. You are either ignorant or nuts if you feel that a billionaire should pay as much in taxes as people that make less in their lives than he makes in a week.

How much do you actually make?

I make "80,000" a year according to my contract by I make more like $4,000 a month because about a third of my income gets stripped away in taxes.

If you're making 80k a year you should be getting more than 4k take home. You should be getting around 56k per year take home. So around 4,600 per month take home. (More during months with 3 pay periods, less during months with 2)

I suppose you are half right but its actually more like 4,400. (.3 is not 1/3) I got a bump in pay last year from like 77 to 80 but I still have that 4k number in my head and making 2180 mid months doesn't really change that much in your personal financial calculations.

My basic point was that "9k a month" done in terms of what you make before taxes is hugely different than 9k a month after taxes which is something a lot of people on this board making more like 30,000 a year would not realize. When you get into middle class ranges in terms of income they hit you with the full force of the hammer in terms of income tax and you lose about a third of your income. You lose about a third at 80k you lose about a third at 300k because that is how our system is set up.

I live in Colorado by the way. Our state tax is a flat tax of 4.63%.

How do you figure? Like I said about a third of my income is taxed. That leaves about 1000 a week leftover.

The math isn't complicated. (80,000 / 52) * .66 * 4
