Not how it works. Americans die every day without ever getting to collect a cent from SS

What promise?

The rightful gathered goes toward the imbeciles who actually grant intellectual property rights for pre-existing words, common phrases, and plagiarized phrases

Oh yeah, there’s a huge difference between being right and being able to safely express it. The nurse was right and look where that got her. I’m sure the cop probably would have murdered the security guard if he had tried to stop the attack

Although being convicted of those crimes would me he couldn’t legally carry a firearm

Technically, EVERYONE had legal authority to intervene. The security guard is just the one with a job description that probably involves at least not doing absolutely nothing

So just a long rant rather than any real substance

Generally good, but this:

“On February 9, a transgender woman named Irvin Gonzalez went to court in El Paso to get a protective order. Gonzalez has a criminal past that included charges of mail fraud, forging financial instruments, and entering the U.S. several times after being deported.”

“What I don’t understand is if you’re labeling anti-fascists as bad, aren’t you in effect saying fascists aren’t so bad?”

Adding any such benefit means having to add a way to pay for it.

Do you know anyone (other than those who would be paying) that oppose paid paternity/maternity leave?

Add in some decent sound, and you can watch all the movies you want from the comfort of home. Sure, paying over $50 for the family to sit in chairs of mediocre comfort drinking…

A disparaging term for people of a certain race, and almost always used with racist undertones at the very least. No time or interest for that sort of bullshit

If they don’t like a movie better, then it shouldn’t get in. Possession of a certain type of gonad shouldn’t change that.

How many of those people do you think played an important role in the Clinton campaign? I’d say the campaign mistakes belong to the candidate and campaign management

Not that difficult: Baby gets family name from Mom, Baby gets family name from Dad, Baby gets both family names, Baby just gets new name....pick one. If the two of you cannot find a compromise on something this easy (and compared to other choices to be made in the years down the road, this does not qualify as one of…
