We live in a society with a lot of shitty useless people. The options are to kill all the shitty people or to try and take care of them (or else they start rioting and fucking shit up even more for everyone else).

Eugenics is a slippery slope and is generally not all that popular...so taking care of shitty people at the cost of some economic progress seems like the better option.

Also we have growing economic inequality already and I don't see any realistic way that deregulation will cause the rich to not try and consolidate even more wealth.

Typically, anAmericanwho is in support of more personal freedoms, (the right for everyone to vote, marry, protest, etc.) but less economic freedom (in favor of regulated economy and higher taxes for the rich). Aliberalfalls to the left of the center on a lateral political spectrum, as opposed to a conservative, who falls to the right. A conservative tends to support more economic freedom (less regulation of business and lower taxes for everyone) but less personal freedom (e.g. only straights should be allowed to marry,sexshould only be between married heterosexuals, recreational drugs should be illegal)

I've always found this dichotomy interesting. Are personal/economic freedoms considered necessarily mutually exclusive?

Why do conservatives treat traditionalism as the holy grail of worldviews when progressive approaches are literally the only way for the world to improve?

Why do liberals assume all conservatives are selfish cockwombles?

When economic freedoms intrude on personal freedoms they are mutually exclusive. There are many examples of this but usually it comes down to businesses intruding on an individuals right to privacy.

As for conservatives an traditionalism, at least in America, they seem to use this as a tactic to appeal to the general population, the 99%, who always seem to believe that America has lost its way and things were better in the past and they are only going to get worse unless you elect me. Hence, "Make America Great Again". It's an old tactic, but it works.

Probably it's the structire of American society, which reflects power relations of the ruling class, and thus gives certain traits to so-called "conservatives" (the representatives of the ruling class) and their opposition (or another wing of the ruling class?) - the "progressives". But Americans are too arrogant to understand than most people in this world don't think like Americans, using their American political notions that actually are highly exotic and are alien even to European countries.

Poor women absolutely need more "free" government programs.

I want poor women who don't want children to have free, immediate, super fucking convenient abortions. Have the doctor come to their house and do it on the taxpayer dime immediately if needed.

Free contraceptives and even an abortion cost WAY less taxpayer money over time than the shitty child a stupid poor person who couldn't give a fuck to even put on a condom would raise.

Stupid people raise stupid kids. Stupid kids are more likely to be poor and/or go to prison. Poor people and prisoners cost taxpayers a lot of money.

You've missed a third, tho hopefully optimistic, option of educating them into a position where they can care for themselves without the need to rely upon others for self-sufficiency.

>...so taking care of shitty people at the cost of some economic progress seems like the better option.
But taking care of people in lue of "economic progress" will inevitably fail because without first advancing the cause of garnering and maintaining wealth for oneself, one can not take care of others.

>Also we have growing economic inequality already and I don't see any realistic way that deregulation will cause the rich to not try and consolidate even more wealth.
I agree, but I think we should teach people how to manage money vs deregulation as a whole. If anything, I think some regulations are actually beneficial to mega corps because it makes more red tape for the smaller ones to grow, but I do agree that deregulating the economy without first considering all the ramifications will allow the rich to become richer ... I also think it holds the poor back. It's complicated to say the least.

Because history, logic, facts, science, and well, just about everything ever, confirms that liberal ideology has the best interests of humanity in mind and they continue to push the human race further. There's no sense being a traditionalist on the wrong side of history.

thousands of years ago people thought drinking blood gave you super powers and fucking a dude in the ass caused the Gods to kill their crops. Hundreds of years ago people thought that blacks were basically horses and sold them as an all-in-one workhorse/sex toy. Decades ago people actually believed women were incapable of enjoying sex and only men could orgasm.

My point is that morality and worldviews evolve over time. Holding on to a woldview from the 1980's makes no sense. It's moving forward. Conservatives are stuck in the past. They want to buy oil and build factories and praise Jesus, but the world is moving towards secularism and modernized technology. Without these backwards traditionalists we'd already be planning Martian colonies by now.

New research proves gender is a construct and a spectrum. New research proves that fossil fuels are archaic and obsolete. New research proves eating meat is not only completely unnecessary but a complete and total waste of resources. New research proves we're fucking this planet up and ruining it for our own species. New research proves factory jobs aren't ever coming back. New research proves socialized healthcare provides better quality of care and better medical resources to more people. Research proves that investing in social programs and giving a leg up to the dregs of society and funding women's programs and youth basketball and all that stupid shit decreases crime and leads to a more educated and productive society. Research proves decriminalizing drugs reduces crime and death.

Liberal ideology is objectively correct on most things. Conservatives excel in just 3 key areas - immigration, blowing religious zealots up, and whining about economics while obliviously spending more money on a military we barely use than we spend on everything else in this country combined.

There is no world where conservative values are objectively correct, and they don't even appear to be unless you twist statistical data and research and cherry pick excessively to support right wing claims.

It makes sense that God is the mascot of the right, they make shit up all the time and they're hypocrites - and their mascot is a made up hypocritical sky diety.

I realize most college aged liberals are irritating cunts, but that has nothing to do with the ideology itself. Most adult conservatives are also self-righteous cunts. It's a problem with the human condition, not our political alignments.

TL;DR - The right wing is rooted in traditionalism and bullshit. Liberalism is rooted in fact.

Liberalism results in low birth rates which will ultimately lead to the destruction of the west, just like is happening in Japan.

We're probably talking past eachother on a few points.

I think your points about educating people and teaching them to be self-sufficient are a little *too* optimistic in two ways. There are a lot of stupid and lazy people who don't want to be educated and forcing them to be educated would cost even more money, and there are a LOT of people who rely on government programs not because they don't want to be self-sufficient, but because they don't have access. I'm a Workers' Compensation lawyer. I see a lot of both groups, people who have to look for work to keep their benefits. Some scream and cry because they have to apply to jobs to get their money, and no matter how much I explain to them that they will be financially better off working I cannot get through to them, and another group that legitimately WANTS to work, and cannot find a job despite their best efforts because of a shitty thing that happened to them that they had no control over.

On your other point, less regulation on small business is good, I like competition, but we definitely need more regulation on bigger/richer sectors like finance that can literally topple the entire economy when they get too greedy.

It's not about race and that's you're problem. You use identity politics to justify your beliefs and to scapegoat minorites. Immigrants illegal and otherwise are statistically less likely to commit crimes. You use outliers to justify scapegoating and spending billions on a wall and security. Meanwhile you allow people who are known to be mentally ill to buy guns. Obama tried to make it so you couldn't both receive money from the government for your mental illnesses and buy guns. Trump stopped that from ever being implemented. Then when some nut shoots up an elementary school you're all "it's not the guns, it's the mental illness". Also you want to censor TV just in case some mental patient gets triggered. You think the second amendment is more important than the first.

The gun lobby (not just specifically the NRA) makes a LOT of money off these guys and figured out a long time ago that there are a lot of people who get a sense of safety from owning firearms. They've spent decades priming them that the government is looking to take away all your guns (thus their sense of safety), add some scare tactics to that about the scary foreigners that you need to protect yourself from with all your guns and now you have heavily armed, poorly educated people who will fight on your behalf to prevent any legislation that might lower gun sales while also causing them to buy more guns.

But the Right is literally cancer. There's nothing excusable about their love of ignorance and backwards thinking. The worst thing about Hillary was she was viewed as a Centrist by the Left and a Liberal by the Right. No side wanted her, which is exactly what the Media wanted.

There is literally no reason to have a gun aside from some notion of insecurity a person would have. Rather than channeling that insecurity and joining the military and/or police, American fags cling to 'muh guns' until they end up killing themselves and/or others with it.

There should be a natural suspicion of anyone who wants a gun but doesn't want to be a cop or soldier.

That is a gross over generalization of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. They banned manufacture of new guns, not ownership or sale of existing weapons, and exempted like 650 models from the bill.

Having said that, i`m a Dem from California. We have some whiny ass bitches out here, but we kinda created the movement.

Feels like republicans are being these 'soft snowflakes' that they like to make so much fun of....our President is a perfect example of a republican snowflake where he complains about the 'fake press' not liking him. Fucking shocker!!! He's been talking shit about them for years, so of course they aren't gonna be on his nuts.

I see what you mean and agree that it is overly optimistic but I still don't see how pacifying those who will not work with free stuff is a good idea.

To the point of those who are stupid and lazy, it is those who we should educate others about our efforts by letting them know that we, as a society, have tried but they have refused the help and should now deserve none. Tho people are rather emotional and don't think in the face of seeing suffering.

To those that want to work and learn, I think that we should help them to get a job and an education but only if they're willing to do it, there's a lot of stuff the government could do that isn't pleasant but needs doing and I think certain other legal entities are holding the government back from getting them done in a productive manner. Unions for instance, but I'm only talking about those that ask for large wages, provide sub-exceptional work, and have clauses in them that ensure that the first to get the job will be the last to lose it. PS: I'm not talking about what Bernie wants for college, my vision of it is all lot more strict and heavily "regulated".

I just have the feeling that it is better to cut off your foot than to leave yourself trapped and run a high risk of dying; I know that most others most likely will not feel the same way.

Define strong government.

Strong in that it allows people and corporations to operate freely while focusing only on their own duties (law and order, national security, infrastructure etc.) or strong such that the government will restrict corporate and individual activities by demand of common consensus?

I find that labeling liberal, conservative, and their simular deragatory names is a clear indicator of low intelligence. It's a symptom of our evolution, that some still would rather revert to their tribal and neanderthal tendencies. Stupid people have a very difficult time understanding strangers. For example, Christian rich male denounces Muslim violence, without the knowledge that Muslims are generally peaceful being a enormous sect, especially considering the well documented crimes that have occurred for various religious reasons including Christian. Our fighting amongst each other is weak. People use Republitard or Libtard for example are showing our desire to hurt another's ego, a clear display of their own unchecked teenage emotions. Our need for everyone to share exactly the same values... not even core ones but the ones that are inferred, is stupid and low.

This election has been truly delightful in uncovering just how stupid much of the world is, because the stupid people have absolutely no shame in putting it on display.

>>731818856
There are a whole lot of programs that already do stop giving aid when people show they aren't trying like unemployment and Workers Comp in most states.

I work with a lot of unions, and there certainly some problems which you spelled out, but I think they are largely overblown. A lot of the "large" wages are actually only seen as large because of how unlivably low the minimum wage is, and I know plenty of guys I've turned down representation from after they were fired from a union job because they refused to work, or did something blatantly wrong.

Labor regulation is definitely a much harder thing to pin down, and it's really hard to get people on board with proper regulations because they are almost always so job specific that not enough people want to be bothered to actually learn about them and end up overgeneralizing as "bigger government."

Also I'm not talking about "pacifying" people who won't work, at least not to make them feel better, its about pacifying them so they don't ruin everything else. "Cutting off your foot" in this example would have to be literally killing poor lazy people, because the other option is letting them do their own thing until they just die off, and they wont. People always figure out a way to survive, and the extremely poor and poorly educated tend to do that through some form of either theft or violence.

I'm not gonna answer to this in a political manner, I'm gonna answer only to the second half and I'm gonna answer it as a scientist. Science doesn't work like that. Conclusions are simple only in mathematics. Research shows a statistical analysis on empirical data, to which the conclusion almost never is one line. By reducing it to a single line you're ommiting important information for your own agenda. I've noticed liberals tend to do this more than the rest of the political parties. Also on social "sciences", like education where I've seen it with my own eyes, I'm assuming this is the case for the rest of the social "sciences", statistical analysis is being done wrong and noone gives a crap. I've corrected exams of educational "science" students and jesus those guys are stupid and definitely not fit for science. Don't trust retarded people doing something way out of their field and capabilities to tell you how this world works.

I'm not saying it's not your right, and it can certainly be a fun hobby. But you more or less said it yourself that you have never needed to use a gun for self defense and you don't even know anyone who has.

The *idea* that you need to carry around a gun for self defense is being sold to you by corporations that make money selling guns. You should at least try to be self-aware enough to acknowledge that.

Where do you stand on regulations about clip/magazine sizes, and bracelets/fingerprint scanners stopping other people from using your gun? Those sorts of things don't seem to prevent you from defending yourself, and are at most a very minor inconvenience at a gun range.

>A lot of the "large" wages are actually only seen as large because of how unlivably low the minimum wage is
While I agree that minimum wage is extremely low, to the point where people have to go without certain things like cars, I think there's other issue contributing to it. Things like people have rather high expectations of their standard of living, such as how most would rather live in a nice fancy house and have a good car, and have value systems that don't bring prosperity to them in the long run, like drinking alcohol, gambling or doing drugs. Also, call me a conspiracy theorists but I think the fact that our money is baseless and the fact that out government doesn't own the production of money are more of a reason as to why the dollar has so little buying power. Other point, I don't see how having wages above $20/hr for unskilled jobs or jobs that require very little manual labor is a good idea.

I completely agree. Honestly, we should pull out and let them solve it, but we feel the effects of terrorism too. Obama had it right- Deep, precision strikes and drone air strikes are the way to go.

I bet you know a fuckton more people who have needed to use health, home, and care insurance than who have had to use a gun as an insurance policy.

The insurance example for firearms for the VAST majority of people is a fantasy. It is extremely rare.

I don't see why ammo shouldn't be regulated since that's the thing that actually does the killing, unless you are worried about getting into a literal shootout with some home invader, which would be an unlikely event even in the already unlikely event of needing the gun in the first place. Same thing with any sort of scanner, you're talking about the unlikely even that it fails in the so far hasn't even come up in the life of anyone that you even know event that you need it to defend yourself.

Meanwhile much larger amounts of guns are used in homes by people other than the actual owner to either kill themselves or others.

From a cost-benefit perspective it doesn't seem worth it just so you can feel safe from something that you are being sold by gun corporations as a problem.

I'm assuming your post isn't sarcastic. He will never do it. Israel supported him in the election and he's supporting them. The GOP would never consider abandoning Israel because so much of their base is the religious filth in the South who believe that Jews are the rightful Biblical stewards of Jerusalem and are meant to be there to speed along the Biblical endtimes (which, if you're not familiar with Revelations, is not a pleasant course of events).

guns hold their price and go up in value over time. I just remembered my dad actually had to pull a gun on a guy before. He threw a cup of piss out the window and accidentally threw it on someones car and they guy tried to run him off the road with me and my family in the car so we pulled his gun out and the guy stopped.

Those scanners fail and brick guns all the time. That's why police and military don't use them yet. I'm a liberal and think you're an idiot. We do need to license guns the way we do cars. You should be allowed to carry if you pass a test. In Kansas you don't have to pass a test at all and can buy a gun legally from a friend without any paperwork. So everyone has a gun. Results have been scary at times. These idiots bring guns into bars and banks. They walk right past the no gun signs.

Which is why it's hard for me to take people seriously when they complain of low skill immigrants takin der' jerbs. If you do a job that can be given to someone with no skill you already don't matter.

Federal minimum wage is $7.25, for a full-time 40 hours a week job, that's
$1,160 a month before taxes.
I recently moved from NYC. I was paying $640 a month for a small 2 bedroom apartment I was sharing with 3 other people. Median rent in the US (based on a quick google search) was $959 in 2015. $500 rent I would consider very cheap. Even ignoring taxes on your pay, that makes just rent cost almost half your wages at minimum wage. Cars require gas and maintenance, and if you don't have one, monthly access to public transportation doesn't cost all that much more. Take into account just basic food, and now you're barely getting by with bare necessities. If something bad happens, your fucked.

I would love to be able to get rid of things like alcohol, gambling, drugs, etc that are having a negative impact on the poor, but the actual cost of regulating something like that would be so fucking high. Can you imagine the cost of sending government reps to everyones house to do drug tests, keep an eye on their finances, etc?

$20 might be high for a minimum wage, but I don't think even $15 is all that crazy. The money is there, it's just going to the very rich right now who save it or invest it in other super rich companies, rather than the poor who are more likely to actually put it back into local economies

My guess is that Trump sent out a request and someone took it way to seriously. Trump is known to tweet stupid shit. I can easily see him also sending out crazy emails. Just because he suggests something in an email doesn't mean they have to do it though.
>>
>>731822694
True but there are a lot of people who look down on the job and refuse to do it because it is beneath them, not so much on immigrants taking their jobs tho they do help undercut the citizens ability to negotiate for a higher wage. Kinda touches back on the point of people having certain qualities of life that jobs like this don't provide for, tho they do provide a means to an ends to getting to a position where one can advance themselves economically.

Subject: Attention: Regards about the news on the monitors in your locations

Good Morning, CBER Researchers,

Please excuse me for sending this out to your entire group via your listserv, but I was alerted by a member in your group and I wanted to let everyone know that the reason for the change from CNN to FOX.

The reason for the change is that a decision from the current administration administrative officials has requested that all monitors, under our control, on the White Oak Campus, display FOX news.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I am unable to change any of the monitors to any other news source at this time.

It would be a mistake because if Israel falls then the region falls to infighting and if hamas or Hezbollah gets their nukes... It's pretty fucking bad for the world. There are a lot of resources in the region which we exploit. It's best that we try to keep the status quo. For now at least.

Theres two ways to get rid of poor people, kill them of give them money.

If they all die we have no workers to do the shit work and then we have to do it.

If we give them money they will spend it on not being poor. This increased spending will (probably) result in more jobs and a strengthened economy.

For some reason this makes me a liberal, well that and the baby killing.

I love a good abortion it makes less poor people, niggers and criminals.

Technically some of the polls weren't even wrong. They didn't account for district and low turn out. People said they were going to vote and didn't go because they thought Hillary would win anyway. I run into these dumb fucks who complain about Trump and then when I ask them who they voted for it's either Johnson or they didn't. My girlfriend is one of these dumb fucks who voted for Johnson and complains about Trump every god damned day. I hate Trump to, but at least I voted for Hillary knowing that it's a two party system and that now isn't the time to push for a third.
