I hate it when people just throw the word "Racist", "Bigot", "Cuck", and "Hater". They all have the same use: To completely nullify the argument of another person.
Even though a person makes a legitimate and comprehensive argument, all someone has to do is to call them a "racist", or a "hater" and then what they just said falls apart, because they are "racist" or "they're just a hating on x". It's a shitty ad hominem that has more power to deconstruct someone's point than it really should. Learn to actually pick apart another person's points and not take the easy road just to win and make the other lose. You might actually learn something about the opposition and get a better understanding of their point of view.
I seriously laugh at people who considered themselves a communist or ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN COMMUNISM. Capitalism is the only economic theory that works; is it perfect? No, don't be silly, but is it the best thing we got? Hell yeah.
Look at the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, Venezuela, all these communist/socialist countries have failed. Seizing the means of production and giving everyone "their fair share" doesn't work, it leads to inflation, starvation, and dictatorships. All you commies look at is the "everyone gets a fair share" part in the theory and say "Fuck it all to the REAL WORLD EXAMPLES THAT PROVES ITS FAILURE AND INEFFICIENCY".
Admit it "comrades", Capitalism is just your scapegoat and your ideology fucking sucks.
please don't come to class if all you are going to do is talk to your friend the whole time, its very rude.
Here's my opinion on the whole "ObamaCare" deal:
ObamaCare formally known as the "Affordable Health Care Act" (ACA), was made with the intention of giving everyone the chance to buy affordable health care, keyword "buying. Now I see news stations, and liberal/socialist FB sites all saying "Oh you conservatives are taking away health care from millions of Americans you greedy assholes!" and they make it sound like health care is being revoked, however the ACA didn't "hand out" health insurance...it FORCED people to buy health insurance or they would have to pay a fine on their tax returns, and this fine would increase for each consecutive year that the taxpayer did not have health insurance. There can be an exemptions for certain taxpayers, like not being a citizen or not being able to afford Marketplace insurance, meaning that these people don't even get the healthcare in the end, and these exemptions were hard to get too. Also, if they cannot afford Marketplace insurance in the first place, then most likely they already have healthcare from their county or medicare.
People who had to buy, were directed to the "Marketplace" or "MNsure" for Minnesota, and were forced to purchase the 2nd most affordable "Silver" quality health insurance. Now, I have volunteered at a place that provides free tax returns to low income families and individuals. I have heard from many of these people who stated that they didn't have health insurance because they don't get sick or injured enough to go to the hospital, so they feel like they DON'T NEED health insurance. In fact these people and many others actually saw ACA as more of a burden since the government forced them to pay for something they felt like they don't need.
Now, some of you folks are going to say, "Well it's better to have it than not have it!" I agree, but news outlets and liberal FB pages need to stop pretending that ACA was handing out health care and not forcing people to buy it, that everybody wanted it, and that it was more good than it was just a poor attempt to socialize health care.
Good job Obama, your "brainchild" project ended up being a failure. But we all suddenly love you now...for some suspect reason...
Watch out guys, somebody's taken it upon themself to be the confessions police
I'm glad the guy who excused Melania Trump's plagiarism of Michelle Obama is going to be press secretary of POTUS. #standards #goodbyedreamofbeingCJCregg
I have all of the symptoms of ADHD and have been told by loved ones and friends for years to get help. I first went in my sophomore year to the doctor and he said I just had depression. OK sure, he's the doctor. Flashforward to me not completing any of my finals and fucking up my whole semester because I was unable to focus/concentrate on work despite my best attempts. I went again recently to another doctor to seek help (2 years later, symptoms worse) and he again wrote it off as depression. Like, I'm not trying to get adderall and I know there are alternatives to that if they're worried about me, I just want help, yet I know people who don't have ADHD who are abusing those medications just cause. It upsets me so.
Still not over the fact that Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova aka Katya did not win RuPaul's Drag Race season 7. Fuck Ginger Ming.
