  1. This is why everything in life can't be about money.

  4. Yeah isn't it funny that you never see pro-life people out advocating for living wages? They're actually always on the opposite side telling people that they should just work for slave wages while corporations rake in the profits and give them to people at the top who do nothing. It's pretty obvious that pro-life people aren't about life they're about control.

  5.  @JohnM-sw4sc  people like me and you produce them. Rich people don't work on factory lines. They don't do any physical labor. They don't produce anything. Ideas are nothing without labor. Money is not made without labor. Therefore the laborer is more important than the idea maker.

  6. My father died when I was 4 years old from heart complications in jail. His cellmate kept begging them to help him but they just stood there and talked and watched.

  7. Maybe if every person in this country wasn't living in a state of constant existential dread, So many of them wouldn't lose their minds and do awful sh_t. But what do I know I'm just a random person.

  12.  @mountaindew3201  also who said anything about teenagers? I'm 27 and try weed until I was nearly 20 years old. I didn't party, sneak out, lie to my mom, drink, smoke or try drugs as a teen, nor was I sexually active. I was about the most straight edge non religious kid you could've known in high school.

  13. @Repeeel19 Amendment okay nobody asked you to come in here and wave a giant flag of ignorance, but universal health Care is actually cheaper for everyone than insurance. Universal healthcare is based upon taking care of people's health the right way the whole time they're alive so they never have to have a bunch of expensive medical issues taken care of, where is insurance-based healthcare there's no incentive to treat people when it's something minor and unconsciously, so they wait until it becomes something major and very costly and then they charge you an arm and a leg. Then that's not even close to the only reason why universal healthcare is cheaper than insurance based healthcare. We all pay more for insurance-based healthcare whether you live a healthy lifestyle or not.

  14.  @mpc2510  they don't teach fact based sex ed. I went to a school with "fact based sex ed" and they didn't teach us anything but outdated Bs. And most southern states teach abstinence only. And you can tell by their much higher rates of teen pregnancy. You're the naive one. You can't even spell naive right. . .

  15.  @tyson9419  I'm just wondering if that makes him not a human being.

  16. My landlord has raised our rent every year and when I ask why they have the audacity to be honest and say it's because the other apartment complexes in the area have raised their rents.

  17. My mom just got a house by paying the back taxes on it. It's obviously more complicated than that, she had to hire an attorney to make sure that the family members didn't want the house. But it had sat for 2 years and they were letting it go to waste. She has been living in the house over a year now fixing it up, making the yard beautiful again, making it a home.

  18. Just so you know being underweight also creates plenty of health problems. We should strive to be a healthy weight everybody. But in order to do that we need to tackle capitalism. Because capitalism is what made everybody so obese.

  20.  @JohnM-sw4sc  until what? Until one part of America is one giant never-ending slum and the other part is a gated community with multi-billion dollar homes and trust fund kids?

  21.  @netglitch_  so why are big oil companies allowed to do it? For profit.

  22.  @MEAT_CANNON  money isn't necessary for society to run. You do understand that societies existed well before money did right? It's literally just pieces of printed paper. We actually lose a penny every time we make one too just so you know. It costs two cents to make a penny.

  23.  @wallraven55  yes you easily can. She worked at an arcade in Michigan that paid out in gift cards. Occasionally one machine would run out of gift cards and instead of being allowed to shut it down they were forced by their bosses to keep it running and pay the winners out in cash. This is illegal according to Michigan State law. Michigan continuously goes after the employees of this business meanwhile allowing the owner to open and operate more locations throughout michigan. They scared her with several fake charges. Some as BS as "committing a crime with a computer" because she made the employee schedules. Committing a crime with a computer is a felony charge that carries a 20-year sentence. She can't afford a lawyer and her public defender told her that if they went to court she would be found guilty and spend over 20 years in prison. She's very kind but not the brightest, she believed her public defender and she didn't fight it because she didn't want to spend the rest of her pleasant adult years in prison. She's 50 years old and disabled she can't go to prison. She would give you her last dime if you needed it, is the hardest working woman I know. Worked until her her doctor and husband practically forced her to stop for her leg's sake. You clearly know nothing of the supposed justice system in this country. We don't have one we have one big extortion ring.

  25.  @cierrablue  yep. They want us all to be slaves to them. You can't fight back against any injustices when you're struggling just to stay above water

  26.  @parillascrambler8492  yeah, annoys me that they always pick the person that is homeless for the most obvious reasons. A few years back I met a man while waiting at the bus stop to go to work, he was homeless from a divorce trying to make it down to his kids in florida. They were also pretty poor so they couldn't help him financially. One day while we were sitting chatting while I waited for the bus someone stopped in their car and gave him a bunch of coupons for free meals at a local fast food joint. This man tried to hand me half of them while I had a home and food on my shelves. Of course I refused. But you really don't know why someone is homeless until you talk to them. In my hometown of lake Orion there is a homeless War veteran. Been that way for many many years. He goes somewhere in the winter, chooses to be homeless because of mental health issues that are going untreated. There are people who are homeless because of bad family situations. People who are homeless because they trusted the wrong people to rent from. Had me and another girl who rented a room from her, fired and then at 11:00 p.m. that night told us we needed to be out by the weekend. Which isn't even legal but we weren't going to stick around and put up with her and her alcohol addicted baby daddy. I paid for a campsite for 2 weeks and lived in a tent. Then I lived in my mom's camper in her backyard for 2 months before getting the apartment I've now lived in for 3 years. Homelessness can happen to anyone at any time. You need to remember that you are far closer to being homeless than you will ever be to being rich like the people who add nothing to society, and only profit off your hard work.

  27. My boss is an old Asian man and I can attest to his affect big killing skills.

  28.  @hidum5779  it's quite clear you don't understand this topic at all. You shouldn't speak on something you don't know anything about. If people use abortion willy-nilly it would happen a heck of a lot more.
    12
  29. We don't kill bad people. We just keep letting them go because they have money. While we lock up people for menial offenses and make them do slave labor.

  30.  @Mandatoryuser  so let me ask you; what happens when those of you who can afford these high costs of living have to drive 45 minutes to get groceries or gas or to get fast food or to use your bank because none of those people who work those jobs can afford to live in your area anymore? Resulting in the closing of those businesses in your area?
    12
  31.  @Mandatoryuser  I just love it when people with no understanding of economics try to give unworkable solutions to our country's very serious problem.

  32. All cats should be able to get spayed or neutered for free. This is an emergency for our wildlife. It's not about getting a free vet visit. It's about saving species of birds and all kinds of other small animals.

  33.  @JohnM-sw4sc  how can anyone take you seriously when you're being so dramatic? You do understand that the people who live in mansions don't actually produce anything for society right? It wouldn't be so many drug addicts either if people had fulfilling jobs and lives. But when you're forced to slave away for the benefit of someone else your entire life s*** gets depressing. I would never do hard drugs, but you must be doing them to think that the current economy is sustainable.

  34. Well killing babies isn't what's being discussed here.

  35. There's a big ole difference between natural temperature rises and what humans are doing to the Earth. Which is proven by the same science that gave you the device you used to type that ignorant comment 😉

  36. @Louis Vanguard by saying it's not a part of the mother's body you are being purposely idiotic. It is part of her body and it is inside her body using her body. By saying she doesn't have the right to remove it if she doesn't want to be pregnant you are saying she has less rights to her body than a corpse has to its body. And you are saying that a fetus has more rights than any born person.

  37.  @liambyrne5285  you're not understanding reality and logic. A preborn baby, otherwise known as a human fetus, is alive and it is a person but it's not a sentient person. There is no thoughts or feelings going on. Incidentally it already has all the same rights as any other living person. No living person can take anything from someone else no matter how badly they need it to survive, no matter if that person they're taking it from is the reason they need that thing to survive. Let's say someone gets drunk and crashes into you with their car and you need a lot of blood to survive. Even if they were a perfect match and they were the reason you need it, they're not obligated to give you blood. No one can make them. Equally no one can make a pregnant woman carry a pregnancy she doesn't want to, it's just as immoral is forcing blood donations or organ donations. Even more compelling to my argument is that you're not allowed to take organs from a corpse no matter how many lives it would save, unless that person gave permission when they were alive. If you can't even take organs from a dead person's body without their permission in life to save countless people, then what right does a fetus have to take from a woman? How do you not see that saying a woman can't have an abortion if she doesn't want to be pregnant, is saying that she has less rights to her body than a corpse has and a fetus has more rights to her body than any born person does? To recap; a fetus cannot use a woman's body without her permission just like any other born person can't. And a woman should have more rights to her body than a corpse does.

  38.  @sebresludolf9611  actually a beating heart is not what we consider a sign of life. That's why they don't stop trying to rescue you if your heart stops. They only stop after brain activity has ceased because brain activity is what we measure life in.

  39. The US is doomed.

  40.  @mountaindew3201  explain how I'm the problem. And what is a better luck?

  41. But they don't have the right to use someone else's body without their permission, just as no one else does. You don't even have permission to take the organs of a corpse unless they gave permission while they were alive. By telling a woman they don't have a right to their own body you are telling them they have less rights than a corpse and you are telling us that fetuses have more rights than any born person.

  42.  @Kai-ky6tf  then why do they get away with it? Allowing someone to get away with something is allowing it.

  43. They know

  44.  @hidum5779  if that were true then you would try explaining yourself instead of being rude. When someone misunderstands me I explain what they misunderstood, even if I do do it rudely sometimes. See the only time you tell someone to go away in an argument is when you know you're wrong.

  45.  @hidum5779  no you spouted a bunch of bs to a lot of people, got your @$$ handed to you, and now you're running back to your little corner to cry. It's okay to be honest.

  46. The fact that these people have to resort to running drugs even though their world class runners just goes to show how hard work does not pay off in this world, illegal enterprises do.

  47. Right? The kindest most hardworking woman I know on this Earth is a felon because of crappy jobs that she's worked in the past. Not because she's a bad person. Not because she's done things on a level deserving of a felony charge. But because she worked for crappy companies in the crappy state of michigan. She would be amazing with children but she can't work with them. She's forced to find s*** low end jobs that destroy her disabled body even more. This country does not have a justice system it has an extortion ring.

  48. At least we know the difference between there, their and they're.

  49.  @aisha48476  unless you have a specific health condition that causes weight gain or weight loss, then yes your weight is synonymous with how much you eat and what.
