And you don't pay more taxes if you don't make more money! I was unemployed for medical reasons in my early 20s and the government paid my MSP and obviously I had no taxes to pay. But I still got my healthcare. Now we are in the highest tax bracket and our family pays loads of taxes (happily). Might not have made it…

I don't think you're an anomaly. My dad has has received millions of dollars of state of the art cancer treatments and surgeries over the last 13 years, something that we would never have been able to afford in the U.S. He finds it a great comfort to sit in that waiting room at his world-class cancer treatment center…

This is where we're going to disagree: any sauce is better than tomato sauce. Pesto, Alfredo, whatever.

Yes please. The new incarnation with Kamala Kahn.

WANT. The stained glass is one of my favorite parts of the movie!!

But it's not that he is "attracted to" thigh gaps, according to her post - it's that he thinks that a woman who does not have a thigh gap is too fat. Those are different things.

No, it's about being told you can't do something because of your race. I don't use the word because it's a slur that only exists to disparage an entire race, not because I'm caucasian.

I never go to the gym. I don't diet or restrict my food in any way. I'm thin and toned. Genetics are not the end all be all, but some people burn more calories and have an easier time building muscle than others.

I apologize. Your football team is very talented, and kicked some serious ass against Brazil. Im rooting for Argentina in the final however, because my wifes father is from Brazil. =)

I'm just saying the Germans are repentant. They paid reparations and the leadership was all tried an executed.

Is it really any more pointless than trying to compare them by what it took to stop them? (I'm setting aside how wrong it is to make the Union army out to be the paragon of virtue in the Civil War, for reasons too tedious to get into here)

You fought a war to end slavery which you had been perpetuating for a couple hundred years. Are you actually making excuses for slavery? I bet you think Guantanamo has redeeming qualities too.

"We fought a war to end slavery " - yeah, but wasn't there another side fighting a war to continue slavery? Unlike the Swastika, isn't that flag still flown all over the US including at state capitals?

Yeah, while most Germans would prefer to pretend that entire 20-year period never happened, most are up front and apologetic. Hell, even when Germany was divided between East and West, one thing they always had in common was banning the Nazi party and its symbols everywhere. It's not the fault of the generation today…

Thank you. My family is German, and you don't know sick I am of this. It's not funny. It's really not funny when you have to deal with it constantly. I'm sick of having to apologize for things I didn't do, and that I'm not allowed to be proud of my heritage. My paternal grandparents were very messed up people…

ScriptedError, I'm not of German descent, and I agree. Joke like this are just old and lazy.

Being of German descent I have grown quite tired of all this stuff, even my co-workers keep slinging around jokes like this. It's like seriously? The problem is the lazy versions of these jokes don't get punished. If you make an amazing slavery joke you'll get a pass and make a bad one you'll be lynched, but…

I'm saying that the "Germans = Nazis" attitude is tiresome and ridiculous, so that's not much of a saving grace.

as I've noted elsewhere, there's an irony to how bigoted some of this "Germany = Nazis" stuff is.

Have they considered working from home with Google?
