Have you always held your leftist leanings or have you been indoctrinated by your liberal professor(s)? Studies have proven then 85% of college profs are liberal and lean to the left.

The percentage of poor people in this country is the same today as in the '60's when LBJ started the "Great Society" social programs. Trillions of dollars later the poor are still with us. Most people who are poor are that way because of poor life choices: drugs, alchol, babies out of wedlock, hanging around with the wrong crowd(getting arrested), divorced(married a scumbag or scumbagee when told not to), don't save money, dropping out of school, no responsibilty etc etc etc etc. Why can't leftist liberals just come to the realization that some people are just hopeless causes and no matter what you do for them the result will still be the same??

I noticed that one of the most popular shirts among Gen Y's has a slogan "Only old people vote". I also saw a comment by a young lady recently that said she did not vote because none of the issues affect her. This girl does not have a clue. The medicare R/X bill and other cradle to the grave programs are not going to affect her??? I really feel sorry for your generation. When the baby boomers hit retirement age your generation is going to be taxed so heavily to pay for SS & medicare bills you will never be able to afford a '69 Camaro. Plus your SS retirement age will probably be raised to 70+ and your benefit will be means tested if you get it at all.

It is also a irony that most leftist/marxist/socialist groups are in bed with the environmental groups and share many of the same views. People control through mass transit and loss of private vehicles ownership is just one belief held by both groups. Why you would associate your views with them is beyond me. Boy you never will get your '69 Camaro.

Final comment: Why have all communist governments failed?? Name one that been a success. And don't give me that crap about it was not true Marxism. Even most Socialist countries have been a failure and most are going to free enterprise and private ownership i.e. Swden, Norway, India, Ireland,Scotland, Switzerland etc. Look at India. Up to 1992 it was one of the most Socialist countries in the world and was a buacratic nightmare. This is one reason the country had a Brain drain. One drug maker said a drug that would take 2-3 years to get aproval in the US would take 12-15 years in India. They have since embraced private ownership/capitalism and they have been gaining a busting economy.

I would like to see how you feel 10 years from know when 60-70% of your paycheck goes to pay social programs.

Right on the money Dave! There was a saying when I was in college due to all of the liberal, fully tenured, all-knowing profs: 'Those who can, do, those who can't, teach'. That might be a good reason why somebody would leave the Carribean to teach - especially Sociology; a baseless required course if I've ever seen one!

Socialism invites Communism, and it doesn't attack - it starts from within due to liberals who feel that everybody is owed the same in society. BS. Pull your pants up, keep your head up, and work your @ss off - that's how you get ahead. Entitlements don't work.

(Tom Williams was apparently having a similar discussion when I called one night )

Right on the mark, Dave! I get so tired of the "entitlement mentality" of this nation. Bull$#!+!!! I say, "Nobody owes you squat!!"

1. I have always held to my liberal side, despite the fact that most professors are liberal. Studies are always biased; that is one of the first things we learned in Sociology. Granted many studies may lead to an overall conclusion, don't take those studies as fact. In essence, don't believe everything you hear, read etc.

2. The percentage of poor people is not the same. That is fact. This also depends on where you draw the line for poor people . . . the line keeps changing to keep the percentage the same, that's how it's set up.

3. I know! This sucks . . . My generation is going to be the first generation where we don't have it as good or better than our parents or grandparents; we're gonna have it worse.

4. I prefer to try and not associate myself with any particular party, but if I had to, I would definitely be liberal. Despite myself being liberal, I still have my own views on things, such as still being able to own as many guns as you want, cars as you want, etc. Likewise, funding for mass transit was cut after WWII, so that people would have to buy their own vehicles. Not to sound sneeky, but the govt. wanted this to boost the economy.

5. Socialism has failed, and will never work, I agree. I have no doubt that capitalism is the way to go, but there are still flaws in the system. Now that I reread my post, It seemed like I sounded a little Communist/Socialist myself, but that is NOT THE CASE! I agree with some points. I disagree with some points. What do you want me to tell you? All I can tell you is what I'm thinking.

6. I have a feeling that before that much of a % goes to my paycheck, there will be some sort of "revolution" in one way or another. Either the system will fail, or there will be an uprising . . . or so I hope

7. I agree with the entitlement crap, but you should be entitled to what your family has worked for you to have; i.e. funding for a college education.

8. Why the hell are we talking about this anyway? I get enough of this garbage in class; I don't think I need any more. It was fun while it lasted, but I'm gonna stop talking now.

Next time you have something to say, please be curtious enough to spell my name right. I likewise you should be entitled to a correct spelling.

I agree guys.


Most of the "big guys" I know, started out as "little guys", working their tails off to acquire some of the finer things in life. And most remember those days and will do what ever they can to help the next "little guy", as long as that little guy is willing to help himself. I saw this happen in our hobby a couple of weeks ago.

[JChlupsa]

Tom, you mean the guy/guys that work 18 Hour days running a business then still find a way to back this site 110% and then still finds time to help those in this Hobby. And thats only Half of what happens. I know first hand but thats not for here nor there.

[skierkaj]

Just one more thing,

I agree, MOST little guys worked their asses of to get where they are, unlike G.W. Bush.

Yeah, that's right! Take that!

Ole Georgie there got into college because of his father's connections. Some good that did him; he flunked out.

Likewise Bush got off of drug charges (I can't remember, but I think it was Cocaine) because his dad had money.

What is this world coming to?


Everyone fill out their profiles; at least put your name in there.
That's enough, I'm done talking.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Don't jump to politicians now! One of my buddies is 87 years old and always tells me: 'show me a politician, and I'll show you a bum'. He's right

Don't tell us how bad Georgie is without give the same details about Willie! If your prof had messed around with an intern, would he still be employed? They're all bums! They only think they run the economy, the real person in the drivers seat is Alan Greenspan.
