  1. Cherry Smith Yup. Rigid mindedness vs. open mindedness. Fear of change vs. realizing things could be and should be better. Single mindedness vs. scientific mindedness. Stubbornness and unwillingness to change your mind no matter what vs. changing your mind in light of new evidence and logic. Dark age thinking vs. modern age thinking. These are key differences between people who wish to become smart and people and wish to remain stupid. Stupid people are unwilling to accept new ideas and new theories. If they ruled the world there would be no progress. We'd probably still be living in caves.

  2. I'm proud that I have lived in conservative bubbles and managed to realize that most conservative policies are disastrous. In spite of it all. In spite of often being surrounded by people who disagree.

  3. Bill O'Reilly What's wrong with godlessness? Christianity and its God promotes ignorance and intolerance way better than any of the earlier pagan religions did. The Native Americans tolerated people who were different, including homosexuals. Christianity condemns those who are different and wastes their potential. Some of the bloodiest murders in history and the suppression of art and freethinking was perpetrated by Christians in pre-industrial time. The Salem Witch Trials was perpetrated by paranoid Christians who believed in witches. There is no such as witches, so we have to assume that innocent lives were taken.  This is what makes Christianity worthless.

  4. And eventually things start to fall apart for the rich too. As poverty increases and cost of living goes up nobody will be able to afford to visit their stores and restaurants anymore. A lot of businessmen are good at living in the present but fail to see what will happen to them in the future if they keep going in the same direction. Keep minimum wage the same and the poop shoveling factory keeps its wages the same too. Even though the poop shoveling factory pays a little more. Eventually, not even the poop shovelers will be able to afford McDonald's anymore because they don't get paid poop either. And that's what happened to your customers. All because you were too greedy for your own good. As for the McDonald's employees, they're all either homeless or living with their parents. The ones that aren't teenagers. Including the assistant manager. He isn't paid near enough either. The main managers of a lot of these minimum wage restaurants and stores are dicks who will get people fired over the smallest things. Like being tired at work. "You're not allowed to be tired! You're fired! Somebody told me you almost fell asleep yesterday and I believe everything whether I saw it or not because I'm the omnipotent manager of a crappy paying job." I used to work at one to make extra money when I was in college. I know what goes down at these low wage jobs.

  5. The manager is like Santa Claus. He sees you when you're sleeping. What a creeper!
