[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="82" id="2616277"] The more people get on those plans the faster they will break and then the healing can begin... but if you (and enough people who are like you) sacrifice on the principle of hard work to support those (while you still can) then they might last decades before collapsing. Obscuring the reasons for their collapse, and raising a generation or two who views that is normal and natural. Medicine that cures the patient rarely tastes good.[/quote]

[quote] My aunt was crippled by Polio at age 15. Yet she birthed and raised 4 children, and worked her entire life (her husband left her when the children were ages 5-10). She worked until she contracted post polio syndrome, but her retirement is paid for by the work she did while working.

To further clarify what I meant on my original comment, namely the part: "It happens all the time..." What I meant is that school administration, or teachers overreacting is a common thing from what I have seen, and, it isn't limited to areas that are liberal - it can, and has happened in conservative areas. Anyways, like I said, my comments were intended to poke fun at what you said. ~L

[quote] Well, you started out intelligently then made an ass-wipe assumption unsubstantiated by any data or facts. Happens all the time in heavily conservative areas? Prove it. As for the leanings of this area, I have no clue whether it is Orange County conservative, or San Francisco Liberal.

While the intent was noble (not wanting zealous fools to start fights with them), they get an F on outcome. That said, come on Doc, you know this wasn't a left wing issue. Just some school administrator (aka teacher wannabe) being a douche. It happens all the time, even - god forbid - in areas where the schools and region is heavily conservative/right wing. So I guess the level of ignorance on the Right is just as astonishing, eh? :P ;) ~L

Reply to Fox News considered a "Trustworthy Source Of daily New"? Who would have thought. in Current Events Stardock Forums

None of them are trustworthy, in my opinion. They're a business, and all businesses are driven by what the market (viewers/etc) dictates. As it is they bring in entertainment, not news. That's why I get my news online, and from multiple sources. ~L

[quote]AJ, you say Liberals are just as much Americans as we are and you know what? That's true. But you need to accept that just like you disagree with what we say that opinions from Liberals will also be dissected and criticized and when you believe in "A" (A as in your opinions) you may not find yourself accepting "B" (B as in opposing opinions) and finding those who believe in "B" to be incorrect and maybe even stupid. The same can be said about those who believe in "B"[/quote

To be honest, Reid's comment sounds more stupid than racist, which, given his history of speaking stupid fluently, seems to justify that conclusion. I am intrigued and amused the outrage over it. Now don't get me wrong, I am no fan of racism. The reason I'm intrigued, comes down to the concept of free speech and political correctness. The man said what he felt (which it's quest

Nitro, Clearly you're intent on beliving in your own little version of the constitution, etc. Obviously I'm not going to be able to explain to you natural rights; the premise, meaning and such; court rulings on what the constitution/founders meant, and so on -when you're so clearly biased against it. I would likely go on for days and days, and still...get nowhere. All I can suggest is that you go read up on the issue. Much of what you enjoy, is because of constitiutiona
