Of course they're not tossing money into the red kettle for a tax writeoff - if they wanted it, they'd need a receipt. And it's the ones who have the receipts that make me angry, because that isn't charity, it's quid pro quo. You mention the scams perpetrated against welfare, and no one denies...

Maybe we do, only we don't recognize them, because we can't see past their differences to appreciate it. When the code talkers were growing up, they were forbidden to speak Navajo, and had their mouths washed with "nasty, bitter, brown soap" if they were caught. When we learn that different...

Of course she will. And then she'll learn about how rarely amateurs can get away with it, when some very good hackers can be bought for way less than $50K [to expose her slimy character] lol. :D

Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas You know what this ^ is? It's nothing but graffiti. Placed where it doesn't belong, it says "Look at me! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!! Yep: vandalism, and the irony is just priceless. The damage, though, is as real to a website that lives or dies by...

Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas

Yeah: gluten free. When I studied nutrition in nursing school, we learned that celiac disease is pretty much the only reason we'd see a gluten free diet ordered, so I was mystified by the sudden epidemic of it lately, lol. And women getting tattoos, which makes me glad the one I've had for 25...

Newfies reminds me of why I quit eating doughnuts: another former member [Broompilot] made an epic typo, when he confused the two common spellings and came up with 'dognuts'. I wish someone would mangle 'cupcake' too, lol. ;)

A former member who traded us for his Newfies. :o

Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas On facebook, many people don't know what I do for a living - but other drivers have no such excuse. Particularly on the site dedicated to that work, it didn't seem necessary to explain why I go into risky places after dark, and alone. If I overestimated...

We'll have to disagree on people buying "function", too. I spent a year selling cars & trucks, and when I asked the buyers what kind of utility they needed from a [pickup] truck, they all responded with everyday family things: hauling home improvement/garden items, dogs, groceries. Yet many...

Fox thinks cakes have a sexual orientation? :confused:

You're correct: the guy shouldn't have failed to stop. One can presume that having a criminal record had some bearing on his decision, but we will never know why. You say the police shouldn't have fired [duh!], but in many police jurisdictions, they shouldn't have continued to chase him, to...

The first and foremost assertion, that "government, by it's very nature, is inherently corrupt" is utter malarkey. That it may appear to be more true than not in the current era is probably correct, but that just shows the writer doesn't know what 'inherently' means. Everything that follows is...

Welfare does not "condemn the poor to that life", as many have received it temporarily, then gone on to gainful employment and self sufficiency, as it should be. [As some pretend never ever happens, or ever did.] What condemns the poor is a lack of jobs that pay enough to escape dependency...

That's hilarious, from one who has more than once derailed a serious conversation by demanding that Ragman illustrate with something silly. [And being a nice guy, Ragman does.] Or by inserting childish humor, in lieu of any intelligent comment, because : bored, right? YOU of all people have no...

Among people who use their head for more than temporary hat storage, that's a common phenomenon - interesting that you didn't know that, lol. Actually, the 'new' information isn't entirely: some was in docs available on Wikileaks, but that wouldn't likely be found by the folks who make up their...

Pixar is to SpongeBob as Jane Austen is to Jackie Collins, lol. I'm still laughing over the "there was no backfire" comment. Do you mean that the media attention and Plame's subsequent fame [which translates into money, these days] and Libby's sacrifice was the intended goal? I think not. Why do...

Who is this "they"? In the OP, it's the voters, who decided to spend their money that way. ['State's Rights' not so great in every case, eh?] Personally, I'd agree with LDB's solution, but the problem is, that costs money too, and they just come back. Lather, rinse, repeat, with taxpayers...
