| Blah blah blah A load of mouth crap like always from people who just don't like to be told the truth about their own behavior. Bottom line is our country is not functioning anymore and Americans are not happy. Why exactly do you people think that is and how do you think it will all eventually end? ... |

| The British put a small "head tax" on to force people to participate in the market economy. If you grew your own food and made your own stuff, you didn't need money. But if the government says "give us $100/year," then now you need to sell something to pay the tax. The US bans t... |

| You know what I don't understand? Why is it that the people in this country who hate deplorables from the red states so much don't want us to get a divorce? I mean what exactly is in it for them to keep certain people bound to this so-called union when they clearly loathe them? Could it be exploita... |

| The bulk of people I meet speak in categoricals. An example of a categorical statement would be, "toothpaste is good for your teeth." The world really runs on marginal realities instead. Is toothpaste categorically good for your teeth? What if we dumped 10 tubes on them? It probably stops... |

| A good reminder - I'm sure I'm guilty of this more than I would like to admit. I do think all current major taxes are, in isolation, bad for the economy... but that has to be weighed against the good done with the revenue they raise. Not only would I rather not have high levels of violent crime, hi... |

| The game you are describing would cost probably $1-$2 million just to get off the ground, and even then the chances of failure are extremely high. And that 1-2 mil is for getting it into an early access state where you could hopefully raise more money. Video game art is very expensive. Even if you ... |

I agree on using real, quality ingredients too. FINALLY a fellow capitalist. For extra points get the serfs to grow... |

| I grew up Catholic, and spent a significant amount of time in Bible study as a protestant as well when I wanted to marry a Baptist. Numbers 31 is an awful, awful story that opened me eyes. How could that be God? Seems to me like the Hebrew God was just an excuse for Jewish nationalism. That passage... |

| The truth about the 2A is that for most of Americas history it was not seen as a guarantee of individual ownership of guns. It says it right there in the 2A that its for militias and that militias were necessary for states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free St... |
