That's a huge part of the reason I don't want kids. I'm putting away a lot of money so that I can hopefully retire at a relatively young age. There is nothing in the world that could make me voluntarily spend many additional years going into the office.
I live in Baltimore. The hatred and vitriol that has been directed towards law enforcement here has been astounding.
Darren Wilson is another example of mindless cop hatred. Once all the facts came out it turns out he did nothing wrong, but his life has been destroyed. It's very sad.
In real life though it usually won't matter who wins a game unless you're one of the tiny minority of people who's good enough to be a professional athlete.
I hate the idea of participation trophies, but at the same time sports and athletic activities are worth participating in even if...
I generally don't like the anti-police hysteria thats been sweeping the country, but the Fairfax County PD is one of the nastiest law enforcement organizations in the US. I hope they throw the book at this guy. It's a pity that the thug who murdered Salvatore Culosi was never charged.
This notion that repealing birthright citizen ship is some extreme conservative position is silly. It's highly unlikely that the writers of the 14th amendment meant to give citizenship to millions of Mexican anchor babies. The vast majority of the world also doesn't have birthright citizenship...
At this point most of the whining about the Colts leaving has died out. They've been in Indy longer than they were in Baltimore and our new franchise has been a great success. A few curmudgeons still complain, but most people have moved on. Two Super Bowl wins in twelve years helped a lot with that.
The Chamber of Commerce type Republicans have been big fans of illegal immigration for a long time. Unlike the left-wing types they're smart enough to be discreet about it but big businesses LOVE hordes of illegals who drive down wages.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. There will always be more people who want to come to the US than we can absorb. It's a simple fact of life when you're one of the most affluent countries in the world. That means we have to limit who can come in, and that in turn means that laws need to...
What they need is a smart immigration policy. Western Europe could easily import enough people to make up for their declining birth rate but they're too PC to have a policy which only lets in educated, law-abiding people who speak the local language. The problem is they let in too much riff-raff.
Speaking as someone who doesn't want kids, the people on there make me cringe. They seem to be more about hating on kids and pissing in other people's corn flakes than about enjoying the freedom that not having kids provides. It's as embarrassing as r/atheism is to most atheists.
I've got a pretty old computer (C2D E6750, Radeon HD 6770 graphics card) with 4 GB of RAM. I finally got around to installing 64-bit Windows 7 and debating whether an extra couple GB of RAM would be worth it. Judging from Newegg prices it would cost me about sixty bucks. Am I likely to see a...
This may sound harsh but I fucking HATE women who date low-life thugs and expose their children to these monsters. If you don't have kids and want to get with an abusive fuck head then be my guest but when your child is involved you have a responsibility to screen out pieces of shit.
No real scientist even uses that term. Also stop saying "Darwinsists" as if it were some kind of ideology. Plenty of Christians have no problems with Darwin's theories. My father was taught about evolution 40+ years ago in Catholic school. Only the fundy idiots have an issue with it.
The guy was a dumbass punk. I'm a law & order type of person so I'm no fan of his behavior BUT that whole law thing also applies to the police. They tortured someone for getting mouthy. That makes them no better than ghetto thugs.
Yeah, he deserved a smack upside the head. He didn't deserve to be tortured. Unless some really drastic happened off tape like in the Rodney King case I'd say the cop are all thugs.
The whole stupid pink ribbon thing has nothing to do with finding a cure. Susan G Komen spends a pitifully small portion of their budget on funding research.
The German Bundestag is split, half the members are elected by district like in the US and half come from party lists like in most parliamentary systems. IMO Germany's real advantage is cultural. People want boring, competent leadership there which is how someone like Angela Merkel gets elected.
They shouldn't negotiate. Allowing an angry minority to hold the budget hostage in order to defeat a separate bit of legislation that they don't like is bullshit.
His later books lacked any kind of suspense. In Red Storm Rising you were really left wondering if NATO was going to lose the war, but in Bear & the Dragon the US stomps all over the Chinese as if they were retarded children.
Glad to see that the SUV driver is ok and that the one biker thug is going to be paralyzed. I guess that the thug life isn't so cool now, is it Jay Meezee?
I thought that they went downhill a loooong time ago. Bear and the Dragon was awful and made me give up on his books altogether.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm trying to be a hater, I thought Tom Clancy's early books were very entertaining but by the end he was little more than a brand name.
It's probably too late for rational discussion, but she's sort of correct if she's referring to discretionary spending. 80% of the budget is consumed by Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, defense and interest on our government debt. Of course what you'll never hear Pelosi say is that...
