Yeah that sort of apples to oranges misdirection works well on SUCKERS, who can't comprehend the difference between a Paygo insurance plan and a Ponzi scheme. Imagine you'd invested it all with Bernie Madoff, you'd be RICH....if you got out early before his fraud was uncovered. Con men are good at appealing to naked greed and avarice and playing that up, and downplaying risks. What does this SPAM have to do with the thread BTW? Nothing that I can see.

It's very seductive. It's playing on greed not certainty.

   136   4:12pm Fri 3 Aug 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   V - prove to me your company or idea is worth investing in and I'll consider it. I didn't say I would, I said I'd consider it. Certainty almost always yields a lower return. You know the risk-reward scenario, right. YOU "invest"with SS and after 25 or 30 years your nest egg is ZERO, and you get $300 per week. The other scenario, after 25 or 30 years your nest egg is $3.5M, and a weekly income of $3,500. Seriously, which sounds better to you? I said seriously, no liberal mumbo-jumbo. BTW, average stock market returns for the last 5 years = 2.3%, over the last 10 years 4.5%, the last 20 years 9.4% and the last 25 years 10.5%. Thats not greed, that's just being fiscally prudent...but the government forces you to accept their wonderful, guaranteed zero return investment...yuck.

This way SS protects you from, say, a housing bubble that brings down the market and your retirement with it. And then the Government doesn't have to help keep old people, widows and orphans from eating cat food.

And I do understand whether SS is an insurance plan or not, because its not. Helvering vs. Davis among other things stated Social Security "was NOT a contirbutary insurance program" [emphasis added].

    146   10:48pm Fri 3 Aug 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like (2)   Dislike   CaptainShuddup says She also noted that in Clinton's administration Civil Union recognition was a sure thing, but that wasn't good enough. Because they wanted to fuck with the church and ram their agenda down the religious rights throats, they demanded marital rights. Which a Civil Union by another definition is "Marriage". But it wasn't good enough. You are so full of shit. Are you on Fox News Payroll? The reason why many gays demanded full equality and full marriage rights and the 1,100+ rights that go along with marriage is because we realized that resistance on the right was not about marriage at all. This is evidenced by the fact that Christianists opposed gay people even when they timidly asked for domestic partnerships and civil unions. Hell, they, the christianist right, opposed any legal recognition of gay persons, contracts, job protections, housing protections, etc. Anything to make the life of a gay person just a little more tolerable was fought tooth and nail. Hell, you guys are still fighting against any law that would attempt to decrease the incidence of anti gay bullying for our youth. In TN you can't even say the word gay in schools. It is now illegal. WTF? You would rather see gay teens kill themselves than to offer up any meager protection or support that may be gained via a gay straight student alliance. No, you fight these too. You have blood on your hands. You simply don't give a shit about kids either. This whole fight is all about humiliating and dehumanizing gay people. It has nothing to do with marriage at all. The anti gay marriage issue by the christianist right is simply cover for their animus and bigotry. Your cover is off, you have been exposed for who you really are. You don't give a crap about marriage at all. You only care about putting an entire group of people out to pasture simply so that you may feel a tinge better about yourself, which obviously is not much. Pathetic to say the least.

    147   10:58pm Fri 3 Aug 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like (2)   Dislike   Here is just another anti gay reality. In spite of trying to get some anti discrimination laws on the books to protect gay people from simply getting fired for who they are, the Employment Non Discrimination Act has failed to pass for over 20+ years. And some of you even think gays have equal rights in this country and that civil unions or domestic partnerships where they are offered cleared all this up? Think again. Like I said, this has nothing to do with marriage. It is all about hate and bigotry.

Kind of funny since.. in California the law isnt about discrimination as some believe, but rather at will employment. You can quit anytime and they can get fired anytime! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment : "any hiring is presumed to be "at will"; that is, the employer is free to discharge individuals "for good cause, or bad cause, or no cause at all," and the employee is equally free to quit, strike, or otherwise cease work."

But to fire people for immutable characteristics, (such as race, age, physical ability, etc.) as well as mutable (religious preferences) are protected against firing for simply having these traits or beliefs. Being fired because one is gay should not be allowed just like firing someone because they choose to be Catholic or because they happen to be 55 years old should not be either.

    154   12:46pm Sat 4 Aug 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   Like I said, people should not be able to be legally fired for who they are. Just one source: http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/righttomarry.htm The first state marriage law to be invalidated was Virginia's miscegenation law in Loving v Virginia (1967). Mildred Jeter, a black woman, and Richard Loving, a white man, had been found guilty of violating Virginia's ban on interracial marriages and ordered to leave the state. The Court found Virginia's law to violate the Equal Protection Clause because it invidiously classified on the basis of race, but it also indicated the law would violate the Due Process Clause as an undue interference with 'the fundamental freedom" of marriage. In Zablocki v Redhail (1978), the Court struck down a Wisconsin law that required persons under obligations to pay support for the children of previous relationships to obtain permission of a court to marry. The statute required such individuals to prove that they were in compliance with support orders and that marriage would not threaten the financial security of their previous offspring. The Court reasoned that marriage was "a fundamental right" triggering "rigorous scutiny" of Wisconsin's justifications under the Equal Protection Clause. In Turner v Safley (1987), the Court refused to apply strict scutiny to a Missouri prison regulation prohibiting inmates from marrying, absent a compelling reason. Instead, the Court found the regulation failed to meet even a lowered standard of "reasonableness" that it said it would apply in evaluating the constitutionality of prison regulations. The supreme courts of three states (Massachusetts, California, and Connecticut) have, as of 2009, found bans on gay marriage to violate state constitutional provisions. In November 2008, however, California voters narrowly approved a proposition designed to overturn the decision of that state's supreme court. The legality of the voters' action is now an issue in the California courts. Meanwhile, many states have, by legislation or voter initiative, enacted "defense of marriage" laws to keep marriage an institution exclusively for a man and a woman.

The line "The Man Boy Love Association" have been standing in is getting shorter and they are licking their chops. The perversion of society is simply a raw power grab by depraved under achievers: Liberals. If the man needs to pee and just does that, so what? These issues - and ironically a lot of the perverted crimes they are trying to prevent - seem to be prevalent in the US only. I guess I must be a criminal at times, when I need to piss or crap, I use whatever bathroom is available (starting with the men's room first of course).

The whole business model depends on selling cheap chicken, which they can buy at artificially low prices because the chickens are fed subsidized corn. The resulting processed food is full of fat and sodium, fattening up the customers even more than the chickens, so the morbidly obese "heavy users" can offload their medical costs onto everyone else via Medicare and Obamneycare. Everybody gets a cut, so to speak: ADM executives get the federal corn subsidies, Tyson and Cathy get the chicken profits, the medical-industrial complex gets the treatment revenue, and everyone gets the bill, while gay people get stabbed with the beaks. People say Cathy can speak his mind as a private citizen, but he's really another example of corporate welfare. Uncle Sam, Inc.: Privatizing profits while socializing losses since around 1910.

The 120g of sugar in the soda pop and the carbs in the bread and the fries are what make people fat.
