    The (Deplorable) State of Social Security

    Some years ago, I was convinced that the dollar could not survive the irresponsible actions of our leaders. Like many other fools, I stockpiled gold and silver in hopes of sustaining my family when the dollar collapsed under the weight of our spending far more than our incomes. 17 trillion...

    Prisoners Could Serve 1,000 Year Sentence In 8 Hours

    Why don't you just explain what point I missed in lieu of being snarky? I'm not your brah. Nor was I rude. I thought I made a valid point. If you don't agree, why don't you enlighten me instead?

    Prisoners Could Serve 1,000 Year Sentence In 8 Hours

    So you don't think that picking up a small, plastic device and be able to talk to anyone almost anywhere in the world isn't Sci-Fi? How about computers? How about airplanes? Cars? MRI machines? Laparoscopy? Not one of these things existed when I was born.

    Animal abuse rant...

    Re: Animal abuse rant... dead puppy walking Below is every post I put in this thread. Please point out where "I came on here, outraged about a pet you know nothing about, never met..... ". You can't. Of course, I invested a fair amount of time responding to your attacks. You seem incapable...

    Animal abuse rant...

    Re: Animal abuse rant... dead puppy walking Of course I am more worried about the health, safety and security of my pets as opposed to, say, your children. I am also interested in the health, welfare and financial security of my children. I've worked hard to provide for both of them. I grew up...

    Animal abuse rant...

    Re: Animal abuse rant... dead puppy walking I may be a mean, ignorant mother****er, but I've had the decency to pay my own way through life and not mistreat my pets (the subject of the thread).

    The (Deplorable) State of Social Security

    Apparently, you say the are out of money since 1983. That it is a sham with the money provided by the USG. Then, in the next breath you say it can't be done. So, which is it? You seem to be arguing with yourself. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. Furthermore, I take my word far...

    when the system fails, on purpose

    First, it does seem this is not something that actually happened. Second, yes, it is disgusting the way our politics function. It's about winning wealth and power and has nothing to do with the good of the people.

    Animal abuse rant...

    Re: Animal abuse rant... dead puppy walking I thought that birth control was now required by Obamacare. Also, abortions are legal and pretty much available in most (not all) states. But in America, you can't even castrate a serial rapist because the right to make babies is sacred. Would I like...

    when the system fails, on purpose

    Hey! Don't pick on Nevada! I can't find this anywhere either. But why is my state a suspect, may I ask?

    The (Deplorable) State of Social Security

    Think about that. How is (bolded) possible? Very simple - the USG will provide any money needed by "welfare" whereas (theoretically) Social Security can "run out of money". If the USG can fund the welfare, they can fund the Social Security exactly the same way. As for SS running out of money...

    when the system fails, on purpose

    Fear? Or politics? Seems like the Democrats have out-maneuvered the Republicans. Isn't that the objective of politics?

    Retirement Age Americans With Zero Savings

    With as many welfare programs as we now have to bolster the entitlement programs (which are paid for to some degree), I don't see why anybody should bother saving any money for retirement when they can enjoy life now and be supported later. I foolishly saved money all my life and now reap a...
