| Megiddo said: Gotcha, so you're a borderline sociopathic selfish person who only cares about his own circumstances and cares not for the well-being of others. That pretty much fills out what I had expected. Now if only we could get your type to think "I'm not going to pay for another M1 Abrams tank! We already have 5,000 of them and barely a fraction of those are getting any use right now" instead of "I'm not going to pay to feed that starving child. He needs to suffer for the actions of his parents" At least with the former you'd be making the same point and it wouldn't be regarding the most needy in our country. |
Actually I'm not for the bloated military budget either. I just argued that it's not like it's all going down the drain - it does provide people jobs and money. I wouldnt have an issue if it was slashed 50% though because it is obscene. You're making a lot of assumptions. I'm by and large socially liberal. I'm for drug legalization (for all drugs), legalization of prostitution, gay rights (which we have), public option higher education, limited public option healthcare (with private mix) - since this would actually be cheaper than our current crap system, I'm for more extensive testing of providing homeless people homes because experiments have shown this actually costs the state less than keeping them homeless. Can go on. However I happen to value money more than I value other things. If you dont I dont want to hear complaints about your situation. That's life, it's a chain of priorities.
