Neither America or Vietnam were the good guys, just like in pretty much all wars it's 2 sides of gray

It's stupid when people try to demonize either side

The view that both sides are automatically equal is just as overly simplistic and uninformed.

The issue is complicated, but that doesn't mean it can't be examined.

I didn't say it was equal but both sides were gray, it wasn't a black and white issue

They can just not pay for months, and the owner needs to go through court to get them kicked out, all while they still have to pay the mortgage

It's disgusting that you can screw people out of thousands of dollars and sometimes you don't have to pay it back, just hold their house hostage

This happened to my grandma, some pieces of shit rented from her and didn't pay, then avoided her and the police so they got to stick around for months not paying rent, didn't have to pay it back, and the was nothing she could do about it

The eviction process should be a lot quicker for non payment

Because it's good business sense not to deliberately upset potential customers and limit your ability to expand due to the risk of bad press?

But in some cases, not all, couldnt changing something for no reason cause you to lose real & current customers? Im thinking something similar to The Simpsons. When there was talk about removing Apu. It seemed the ones who wanted change werent probably their viewers. Where the viewers didnt want change. So, had they changed, they would lose current viewers while most likely gaining none in the process...

That definitely happens, but usually they hear a vocal minority and freak out and make changes just in case

I know Chicago isn't number 1 in murder rate, but they still have a huge gun problem that wasn't solved by gun control

They're also, as I mentioned, surrounded on all sides by areas with far looser gun laws and have no effective border with those areas, so yeah, that's going to have an effect.

But there is less of a gun problem in those areas that don't have as strict of gun control

You just need to look at Chicago to realize that strict gun control doesn't work

I love it when people cite Chicago, because not only does it completely ignore the obvious counterpoint (that gun control isn't going to work when the area it is applied to is bounded by other jurisdictions with much looser gun laws and no effective border between them), but it also proves that the person arguing it hasn't actually glanced at the numbers lately.

Chicago isn't even in the Top 20 cities in the US by murder rate, instead clocking in around the mid-20s.

Everyone bitches about taxes then everyone votes Democrat like they aren't the ones that keep raising taxes

Isn't this one of those cases where it doesn't really matter what anyone in Illinois actually thinks, because Chicago has enough population to basically strong-arm the results in every single state or federal-level election? And Chicago, like most urban areas, knee-jerk vote Democrat almost without thinking about it?

That's something most New Yorkers outside of NYC constantly complain about, and why voting in NJ is pretty much meaningless (the parts of the state tied to NYC and Philly are urban and would vote for Hitler if he ran as a Democrat).

I'd assume Chicago and its greater metropolitan area strongly sways the entire vote in Illinois. Especially since, after looking it up, it's like 80% of the entire state's population.


That hits the nail on the head

But it's the people in the city that complain about it too

TC, do you understand that by implementing the latest round of tax cuts, this current administration has opened the possibility of cutting entitlements? They havent openly talked about it yet because they dont want to harm their chances in the midterm elections, but youll see. After the elections, theyre gonna call for entitlement cuts.

This directly puts big financial burden on you, me, and the rest of the 99% of the population that needs entitlements. There is statistically 1% of the population that would be fine with these cuts, and theyre also the ones who benefitted most (by far) from the recently-implemented tax cuts. For example, Berkshire Hathaway was bringing in about $15bn/year before the cuts. Now? Theyre bringing in $30bn. So, where does the government get this money that it now isnt getting from Warren Buffet and all the others like him? Us! Common folk! The 99%!

These tax cuts will gut us. Right now, you might not see it. But remember this my friend. In 10 years, when entitlements are trash and all the social security that youve paid into is worthless, remember what Im saying. Its gonna hurt you, its gonna hurt me, and its gonna hurt almost everyone else.

Im talking about Illinois, not the whole country. In Illinois the Democrats are a corruption machine. They love to raise taxes and make new ones, like the pop tax that everyone got screwed with in cook county, and now they want to bring it back, despite the hatred for it the first time.

It's like people forget that Illinois, one of the bluest states in the country, is known for shady politics

try and do it like when you train a cat to use one. place them in there, place them in there when they start to go, etc

This is bullshit. Cat needs to see a vet.

Is the cat declawed?


i sure hope it itsn't. declawing cats is horrible


If he is, though, that can lead to arthritis that makes bending over to pee difficult as he gets older. Switching to a larger, open litterbox can help with that.

Really, though, take him to a vet. Whatever speculation we can come up with here isn't going to help with the problem.

He's not declawed

It's not opinion-based though.

People have a good sense of how attractive a person's bidy is to the general consensus, but people have a wide range of personal preference as they make assumptions that people that look a certain way have certain secondary characteristics.

A good example of this is how my colleague at work refers to his girlfriend as not what I would call attractive and talks about how attractive women have more people chasing them and will cheat.

But not everyone agrees with the general consensus, for something to objective it needs to be a fact not a general (not 100%) opinion
