  1. Being a wife and a mother is something women should be proud of...just as men should be proud of being a husband and a father.

  2. I had two rules as a kid. Don't cross the highway at the end of the Street, and be home before dark. And I'm still here.

  3. This is the thing. I have no more love for giant corporations than the next guy. In fact, one of the biggest in the world screwed me over and eliminated my job about 10 years ago. But going on whining about the "big guy" screwing you over gets you nowhere. If someone came in the next day and shut that company down, it would have done me no good. I still wouldn't have had a job. What got me back up and going again? Doing something about it myself. I didn't demand retribution, I thought outside the box, learned a new skill, and now have a job I love working for a small business as a manager. An opportunity the "big guys" never gave me. But it didn't happen through them being torn down, it happened through me building myself up. Hence why I could never be a leftist. I believe in consequences, self motivation, and responsibility...not handouts from big daddy government.

  5. If Americas healthcare system was more like Canada's, there would be alot more sick and dead Canadians because half of them come down here for medical treatment.

  6. This is exactly what the left wants to do to the United States, open up the borders and wipe out any kind of American identity or culture with "multiculturalism".

  7. Religion is like politics, or even economics. There are lots of different beliefs out there, but no matter how strongly you believe in your way, no one particular way has been proven right. All you can do is think freely however you believe is right, and there will always be people who disagree with you. If we had all the answers, life would be much easier. But we don't. I believe we aren't supposed to. Whether that is God, the nature of the universe, or just simple human shortcomings, is up for you to decide. If we knew all the answers, there would be no point in religion, politics, economics, scientific theory, or debate.

  8. She probably really doesn't like the kneeling for the anthem, but is afraid to say it on camera for fear of being attacked on social media by her liberal friends. You could tell by her demeanor that she didn't really believe what she said, and further proof was her lack of an explanation and f why she supposedly supports it.

  9. But they pay sales tax! Yeah, and when I visit Canada, which is frequently because I live near the border, I pay the GST and PST (sales tax) on purchases I make there. So should Canada give me free healthcare then?🤔

  10. I bet if he was wearing lederhosen, nobody would be upset about him "culturally appropriating" German culture, even if he wasn't German. You know, because white is white, it's all the same. Furthermore, I doubt they would have a problem with a Mexican guy wearing lederhosen either, or for that matter, a Puerto Rican wearing Mexican garb.

  11. Every single one of my white ancestors came to this country long after slavery was outlawed. They also all lived in the North, where there was no segregation or Jim Crow laws. In fact, my grandfather played on baseball and basketball teams in the 1930's that were integrated.

  12. The debate on sexuality is the real "science denial".

  13. Healthcare isn't an intangible like free speech, freedom of religion, voting rights, etc. As Been Shapiro has stated many times, it's a commodity. Healthcare can never be "free" for anyone unless doctors start working for free. It can be "taken care of" by others, but never free. Who will "take care of it"? The government. Two big problems there. One, the government couldn't run a lemonade stand if they were given free lemons...and two, "the government" doesn't have some giant magic self-funded piggy bank, the taxpayers fund the government. Are there better ways to run the healthcare system? Sure. But single payer government run is not the answer. I worked in medical finance for years and did the spreadsheets. The Medicare and Medicaid systems are a joke. The hospital just eats the costs that the government doesn't cover. As of 2014, that was every dollar above $248 for a Medicaid patient. The hospital of course makes up for it by charging people's insurance $50 for an Advil, and about $10 grand for a bed for a night. Many more problems than this, but I can only type for so long.

  14. CEOs do "less work" huh? I'd like to see you take a crack at running a Fortune 500 company for a day. Typical no nothing liberal brat that thinks executives do nothing but sit around and light cigars with $100 bills and get paid for it. Believe me, I've been on both ends. I've never been a CEO, but I have been an accountant and a manager (white collar "easy" jobs), and I have worked retail, food service, and warehouse (blue collar "hard" jobs). The amount of stress, expectations, long hours for no extra pay, and knowledge needed to to the "white collar" jobs vastly exceeds any hard physical labor you have in a "blue collar" job, unless maybe you are a lumberjack or oil rigger, but they get paid well also. Just because you sit at a desk doesn't make your job easy. I wasn't spinning in my chair all day in those jobs, I was doing complex work 60 some odd hours a week, managing idiots, and having my manager breathing down my neck constantly. I'd go back to retail unloading trucks and stocking shelves for the same pay any day. There's a reason those jobs pay differently. You need to grow up and experience the real world, and not go off what some leftist Looney toon professor at community college brainwashed you with.

  15. "Social Justice" is just another made up phrase for virtue signalers to bandy about so they feel "righteous". Kind of like "pay your fair share" and "undocumented immigrant".

  16. Anyone who lives in a free and civilized nation should put their own country first, Americans included. Helping allies and those in need is honorable as well but the priority must always be your own country. Anyone who does not believe this shouldn't be where they are.

  17. But the Democrat party wouldn't exist if not for people that blamed everyone else for their problems.

  19. Lol, California is a toilet, and has a state debt larger than most industrialized nations. Why isn't this great progressive tax paying down their debt?

  20. The answer is simple. If evolution were real, how could the Kardashians exist?

  21. I live in NY, where the $15 minimum wage law was passed a few years ago. Where I live upstate it is being phased in, and we are at $13.25/hr now I believe. What I have noticed is happening in the service industry, which is mainly made of people at or around minimum wage, is they give hardly any hours to the employees, and work the salaried managers about 80 hours a week so their hourly equivalent is much lower than minimum wage. You go to any store, whether that be a fast food restaurant, a grocery store, a retail store, or whatever, and there are usually hardly any people working, things are a mess, and the lines are long.

  22. I used to work for a hospital a few miles from the Canadian border. Nearly a quarter of our patients were Canadians coming down here and paying out of pocket.

  23. "you don't need a gun so you shouldn't be allowed to have one" You also don't need a car or a house, you can walk everywhere and live in the woods. So I guess you shouldn't be allowed to have one.

  24. In my former job, I did budgets for a U.S. hospital near the Canadian border. No lie, nearly half our earnings were from Canadian patients paying out of pocket. I did the financial reports. I saw the numbers. There is a reason they come here, and it is exactly for the reasons explained above. This is why also, that despite being a city on the decline for over 50 years in terms of industry and manufacturing, Buffalo NY has one of the fastest growing medical sectors in the country. They can't build new medical facilities here fast enough. Yes, there are other reasons such as lower labor costs and a large medical school at the University of Buffalo, but a big factor is in all the profits to be made off of Canadian out of pocket payers. You can literally throw a stone from downtown and hit someone in Canada, so you can see why (no, not that Canadians are getting injured by stones we throw at them, but the close proximity!🤣🤣🤣). Yes, Buffalo, where we are so far north that Canada isn't to the north, it is to the west! That is where the money is made in health care. Hospitals lose money off Medicare and Medicaid claims. They do turn a profit off private insurance, but nothing like out of pocket payers. They basically can charge whatever they want because they don't have to fight insurance companies for compensation. The medical sector is exploding here and that is a big reason why.

  25. If the electoral college worked in the left's favor, they would be fine with it.

  26. Name one federal law on the books that is racially discriminatory. I'll wait....... Don't have one? That's because individual PEOPLE absolutely can be racist and there will always be some who are. The country itself, as in our laws and our system, is not racist in nature. There are no laws that discriminate against any particular group. In other words there will always be some degree of individual racism, but institutional racism is all but wiped out.

  27. Actually, very few things in science have been proven. Many things are hypothesized, and there are certainly many strong hypotheses, but proof is another thing all together. The origin of life is not proven, and probably never will be.

  28. That puts it at the year 2000. Funny how all these predicted catastrophes are all on even, round years. Like AOC's prediction of the the planet being uninhabitable by 2030. I hear others say 2050. Yep, bad stuff only happens on nice even, round years.

  29. A sad reality is that alot of people think we fought the Soviets in WWII.

  30. Thankfully, YouTube gives us the "global warming" disclaimer. God forbid anyone think for themselves or have different ideas and opinions.

  31. @GG Allin The Bible doesn't say these things were "good", it just acknowledges that they happened. And all of these things still happen today. Because humans are imperfect and always will be, that's part of the lesson. While much of it may be antiquated, and even down right silly by today's standards, there are lessons in humanity if you read into it a bit. I certainly don't take everything in the Bible literally, I know there are fundamentalists that do, but certainly any sane person religious or not will know much of it is sensationalized to say the least. But nowhere does the Bible pass of any type of sin or evil as being "good". That is absurd.

  32. It's both size and scope. In order to have a large scope, you usually need a large size as well which means a gigantic bureaucracy. Lots of laws and regulations require lots of bureaucrats, law enforcement, and military to enforce them.

  33. It's yet another case of the pendulum swinging too far. While yes, it is not productive or favorable for men to be a bunch of meatheads...yet at the same time that doesn't mean men need to be feminine. A good man has strong character, takes responsibility for his actions, and is a good father. You don't need to be feminine to accomplish those things.

  34.  @RoseNoho  Did God tell you that? "I don't exist" -God

  35. I mean have these people never heard the saying "those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it"? It's a pretty simple concept.

  36. The right would be...not the alt-right, so much. Conservatives also value free speech and personal liberty, the alt-right does not. Both the leftists and the alt-right are not in favor of liberty, they want their way to rule by any means possible, which means denying liberty in the name of an ultimate agenda.

  37. Basically a proxy war against the Soviets and Red China.

  38. Society will always have authority, whether that be God or whatever deity one happens to believe in, the government, or, if not these things, then gangs and stronger men will rule over you. As many problems as i could list with government, and there are a lot, if you lack a government and/or police and laws, then then it's gang rule. Someone will always rule, whether you grant them that ability or they just strongarm it.

  39. As with everything else with rules written by leftists, those who actually do things the right way or work for a result get punished at the expense of freeloaders.

  40. A friend of mine's wife teaches middle school and has a student that identifies as "pansexual". Yeah, middle school. In middle school, way back in the 1980's, I and others my age barely knew what sexuality was, let alone identify as some sort of alternative sexuality.

  41. Regardless of your beliefs in this matter, the President literally has zero control over it

  42. Yes, Marxism in theory does call for the eventual abolition of the state, however, in practice it can never get that far. In order to enforce a Marxist regime, it requires a powerful state. These people aren't just going to give up their power when "the time is right". That's human nature, people.

  43. I agree. It was blatantly obvious.

  44. On paper they are all different but in practice they all break down into authoritarians. But someone else here also made a good point. Fascists were never meant to be "nice" nor did they pretend to be, they didn't hide their strict order and told you it was for your own good. Where as a communist would tell you all these wonderful stories of rainbows and sunshine and community, but in the end be as bad or worse than the fascists in implementing their power.

  45. Nobody's trying to prove anything. Prager himself is not saying he has "proof of God". He is simply stating that the concept of an afterlife goes along with a good and just God. He is saying one without the other is illogical. Maybe you think both are illogical. That's your right. Maybe others don't, that's their right. Nobody can prove the existence of God, I'm quite certain that if there is a God, it is beyond human capabilities to prove it... that's kind of the point in religion. Whether you are religious or not, the concept behind religion is that life is a test. If you already know the answer (God is proven to exist, or not exist), it kind of defeats the purpose. You either choose to believe, or you choose not to. And if you somehow think it makes you superior to insult others who believe differently than you, whether you are a believer or non-believer, that makes you a small pathetic person. There is no I know I'm right and you're wrong, because nobody knows the answer. As for Pascal's Wager, you can pick it apart all you want, but it's pretty simple and straightforward. He basically says what do you have to lose. Well, what DO you have to lose? Lose face with some internet troll on YouTube? Oh, the shame. My whole life is based on not giving a shit what others think, and religious beliefs are no exception. You do what makes you happy, and I will me, as long as it doesn't bring harm to others. Pretty easy philosophy to live by.

  46. Exactly, society needs law and order or there is chaos. There should never be abuse of authority, and we need to make sure of that by practicing our 1st and 2nd amendment rights, by practicing our right to vote, etc, but there should always be a reasonable degree of authority to keep the bullys of the world in check. When the authority itself becomes the bully, that's when action is required, and we are teetering towards that point.

  47. Asking a millennial why they hate Trump would be like asking why they have a long beard, Buddy Holly glasses, plaid shirts, and skinny jeans. Answer : because everyone else does. Everyone in their bubble world, anyways.

  48. Yeah but he's not talking about government, he's talking about a higher authority. Agreed though that government should fear the people, that if they do a lousy job they will get voted out, and if they get too aggressive we can and will take up arms.

  49.  @thedevilsadvocate5210  Actually, you don't see too many Germans, period, in Germany. It is mostly migrants flooding in from the middle east.

  50. I have a college degree, but have a job that doesn't require one. I make between $30-40 an hour (depending on bonuses), which is more than I ever made in a job that did require a degree, and, I like the job itself much more. I also got promoted to a manager effective January 1st, so next year going forward that wage will be more on the $40-50 an hour range. Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have bothered with University, but I still would have gone to community college, as I feel that was actually valuable, and it was cheap. I learned much more about real world skills in community college, where as University was much more theoretical nonsense you will probably never use.
