    Social Animal consciousness. Does it change your perspective?

    While I do understand what you are saying, I can't help but wonder if cannibalism is wrong based on what you said above? Should humans be eating humans because we were designed to eat meat? Or, what if some weird space alien species landed on our planet and decided to start consuming humans...

    Economy Great Article Breaking Down the US Housing Crisis & Why Government Isn't Doing Anything About It

    While of course what you say is true, you have to keep in mind that when supply is limited enough, the land owners pretty much do set the prices they want to rent or sell their properties, and it makes it worse when said land owner owns 50% of the available trailer parks in San Diego. So you...

    Economy Great Article Breaking Down the US Housing Crisis & Why Government Isn't Doing Anything About It

    From what I understand, that has happened quite a bit, exactly as you said. They raise the rents so high that people who can barely afford it go broke and can't afford the space rent, so the park owners let them go in arrears and then simply take their mobile home as back payment for rent, which...

    Economy Great Article Breaking Down the US Housing Crisis & Why Government Isn't Doing Anything About It

    You are exactly correct. A childhood buddy of mine lives in a trailer park and 2 years ago it was purchased by a real estate ventures investment company - despite the typical connotations, this particular park was actually pretty nice filled mostly by seniors living on social security. When the...

    Economy Great Article Breaking Down the US Housing Crisis & Why Government Isn't Doing Anything About It

    Aircrete is not really what it's cracked up to be though. My uncle is an old fashioned stick built home contractor and actually got interested in using aircrete out in the desert where zoning laws are lax. After about 6 months he gave up on it. For one, it's very difficult to get a consistent...

    Law I know why we're helping Ukraine; But Congress should be charged with treason.

    If they are benefiting from free housing, I would imagine that the government isn't providing that without having these people in the system and on a path to legal citizenship, so I do agree with you. It's just a shit situation all around - I don't like seeing poor, desperate people suffer, but...

    Law I know why we're helping Ukraine; But Congress should be charged with treason.

    I don't know - I thought those getting free housing were asylum seekers awaiting status updates to citizenship. I could be wrong though, and on that part I do agree with you that there has to be a better solution than offering free housing and/or healthcare when plenty of citizens can't get...

    Law I know why we're helping Ukraine; But Congress should be charged with treason.

    Why would someone get a fake SSN? So they can work, you mean? So if they work using that fake SSN, and Federal/State withholding are deducted from their checks, along with Social Security and Medicare, how do these people go about getting their taxes back? It should be of no surprise that...

    Crime Memphis Police Officer Killed By Teen Who Got Released Without Bail A Month Earlier

    No amount of deflection will obscure the fact that you are a raging hypocrite. "Law and order" -except when it comes to dear leader, Steve Bannon, or Jan 6th 'sight seeing patriots'. I mean, I might be able to take this thread seriously if it weren't for all the comical hypocrisy. By the way...

    Crime Memphis Police Officer Killed By Teen Who Got Released Without Bail A Month Earlier

    Oh look. All the conservatives are all of a sudden jumping on that 'law and order' bandwagon in this thread, after arguing for months and even years that Trump is being unfairly prosecuted and/or past crimes he's committed were nothing but unfair 'liberal media' scrutiny or just the cost of...

    Economy GOP back to Inflation worries. "Hyperinflation" (Update: 2022 Inflation Highest in 40 Years)

    If she owes the stated amount in taxes, then that means she has the income to support what she's bitching about. High taxes owed sucks, yes, but there is a flip side to that coin. Meaning she had to have had the kind of income that warrants that kind of tax liability. I remember one of my mom's...

    Anyone else dare to discuss what was put up Yan Xiaonan's nose?

    If Yan had just been knocked unconscious from a strike, you might have a point, as the recovery from having your brain rattling around inside your skull takes a while to shake off. However, she was being choked. What that means is the carotid artery is being pinched and limiting blood flow...

    Elections The abortion issue in 2024

    I agree that at some point it becomes a "baby", where that line is I just don't know. However, would you pay the Kelly Bluebook price for a "car", when the "car" simply consists of a half assembled engine with no body, tranny, wheels/tires/suspension, etc? Probably not. The potential of...

    Economy I <3 how (R)s just awkwardly ignore conversations about economics and their track record on it

    I've been saying this for quite some time - calling Trump 'anti-establishment' is about the best example I can think of to demonstrate what an oxymoron is. In addition to what you listed is the fact that when Trump cuts taxes for the wealthy, that leaves a void in funding that must be made up...

    Social CIA Operator openly admitting WMD in Iraq is a fraud

    Those Democrats voted for the war based on intel provided by the Bush administration... I'm old enough to have been politically interested when the Iraq War came about, and I can tell you that literally every Conservative in America at the time was screaming for blood after 9/11, and you're...

    Crime President Biden declares Easter Sunday a Transgender Day of Visibility

    Oh hell, give the "mentally ill" shit a rest, won't you? Do you think people who agree with Age of Consent laws are 'mentally ill'? After all, the physical reality is that 12yo's have matured sex organs and are technically ready to procreate, yet you don't call everyone 'mentally ill' for...

    Crime President Biden declares Easter Sunday a Transgender Day of Visibility

    Because we as a society recognize that the psychological aspect of human beings often takes precedence over physical characteristics. For example, I'm sure you will agree that 12yo girls are not ready to procreate and have children, despite the fact that if they've hit puberty, the physical...

    Social Minimum Wage now at $20 an hour in California

    The Republican's only significant accomplishment while controlling the government with Trump was tax cuts for the rich while massively increasing the budget. If there are only 2 paying parties into the Federal coffers, the middle class and the upper class, and the spending of that money remains...

    Crime IRS’s Most Wanted - The Middle Class is Targeted by Joe Biden and the Democratic Party

    Wow, you really got me there! Brilliant post! It would be even better if you weren't deflecting from the fact that you and the other conservatives in this thread don't appear to understand simple logic. Who would have guessed that when Trump and the GOP guts the IRS, there are fewer auditors...

    Social Minimum Wage now at $20 an hour in California

    The ultra rich were successful in basically selling everyone else a lottery ticket. Conservatives typically rail against stuff like minimum wage because they think if we regulate that, it hurts everyone's chances to be the next billionaire. So they hump the ruck for the ultra wealthy thinking...
