Does that work even with family farms?

That's crazy. I don't believe that. At all.

I wonder if that is actually true. The irony is that most of the damage these people did came from the lack of government regulation on their corporate enterprises, not in handing their money onto future generations. In fact, most of the things these families did for posterity are some of the most beneficial things…

Oh totally! We could write books and books and books on this shit. And it is infuriating. I think it is part of the fact that we totally ignore class in America as part of the narrative about the American dream and that anyone can have everything if they only work hard. But yeah, it is crazy making that no one…

I am sure your friend might be annoying, but wouldn't it be nice if we could all start out on at least 2nd base. I don't think we should be having a race to the bottom here and come up with how we can all be poor and work minimum wage jobs.

Right, the question is who has it. Does it all go to corporations or can some of it stay in the hands of individuals and small businesses?

Businesse need investment capital. Either that can come from family money, individual investors, or corporate investors. There is actually no way, or very few ways, to earn enough money to create that initial capital (at least legally). If estate taxes take money away from families and individuals, creating a…

This would make family businesses that carry on for generations totally unviable. Communities need continuity to thrive. Also, I am not sure why people are so against preserving wealth for future generations.

What makes it extra apocalyptic though is she is saying that her objectification is totally ok because she made these dudes buy her expensive clothes. The one positive you can take from it is she is in control.

also, i would like to meet someone who identifies as rainy.

This video has finally shown me my true identity: Cold. I'm literally freezing!

Hahaha!!! So true! Slide projector presentations... like forcing someone to look at your facebook page for two hours while you drone on and on and ply them with bad food and cheap wine.

I am just getting this feeling all around in life. Like we are all just doing life so we can have cool shit to post on facebook.

I just watched "We Bought a Zoo" in which he gives bro like California surfer dude advice the whole time, but I feel like his voice never changes, so maybe!

I said the language OP used echoes that used to justify rape not that the girl did anything to justify rape. And we don't really know what the girl did in this situation because none of us were there. Being that she is so religious, there is some chance the guy knew she did not want to kiss until marriage.

Maybe it's guys that she resents in a particular way, like they let her down in some specific way that they all had in common. I really don't know of any place in the 12 step literature where it asks you to list people you have slept with.

I read your explanation and it almost word for word mirrors justifications for rape. First, we introduce unrelated evidence to make her an unreliable witness to her own experience. Did she lie about something? Did she wear slutty clothes? Then we talk about all of the surrounding circumstances that "hint" that the…

Re Lindsay: Maybe it's not a sex list people! There are two lists that people usually write in AA; one is a list of people they resent and the other is a list of people they feel the need to apologize to. After reading Franco's story, I would resent him too if I was Ms. Lohan (for acting like a friend but actually…

Hi there. I have an alcoholic dad too who was terrible and well connected and has never helped me with shit. So I can relate! One thing that helped me so much were alanon meetings for adult children of alcoholics. A lot of great stuff in those meetings. Also, it sounds like you have really moved forward and have…

Your not overreacting. I would ask him what was up. Tell him that you really enjoyed meeting him but that him not being available all week was a little funny.
