Rick Perry
Hilarious. Had to up-vote you.
A century of publik skool and rigged two-party elections are as detrimental to all-around well-being as six generations of iCrap and three decades of Black Friday. In short, none of those things are truly 'American.'
Ya, fuck that. As long as the dept of education exists and the fed gov controls education, PTA meets are pointless since public schools are fucked. And it's been well established that voting red or blue team is entirely pointless. Withdraw your consent, don't participate in either.
Rick Perry = Bush on steroids
Rand Paul = Ron Paul watered down
Hillary Clinton = just a cunt
I'm going with watered-down Ron Paul.
Why would anyone today put their signature on this criminal enterprise by voting??? It's a fools errand...and the people that do vote,,,,look at the results, a train of morons with ill intent and self service.
Should the Swiss who are pissed at the Central Bank and Central Government stay home and NOT drop their ballots for the gold referendum in the ballot box tomorrow morning? Which happens to be is exactly what THEY want...
No they should all go and cast their anonymous vote, thus ensuring that whoever counts the votes controls the outcome....
Vote? Damned if you do, damned if you don't:

Reread the 14th amendment with this in mind: Voting is an act of rebellion. As you were.
Section 2: "But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of [offices] is denied to any of the [elegable voters] ... except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced [proportionally] in such state."
Simplification is mine.
Voting would be an act of revolution, or at least the constant threat thereof, if the right of self-detrmination — i.e., of secession — existed. It doesn't, however, as a now "indivisible" nation long ago outlawed its founding principle.
Meanwhile, the American people — as dumbed-down, docile, and dependent as they've become — at least know enough to vote with their dollars, the polling booth being an empty shelf in comparison to what a free market (or what remains of it) can provide.
That "Black Friday" pic is misleading because just a month ago, ZH ran an article about how Sears is going under. Wouldn't all of those people lining up at Sears be a good thing for its recovery?

Appears to know the secret handshake...

Jeb Bush taught him...and then cut him in on the Common Core testing profits.
Many countries have scrutineers from the various political parties and citizens groups present when ballot boxes are opened and the votes counted. They report the tally in real time to local organisers and the candidate. I was a Poll Clerk in an Australian election many years ago so I experienced the process first hand. The Swiss take the process just as seriously.
Any hanky panky and they will challenge the results firstly to the responsible Returning Officer and if that doesn't resolve the problem they will challenge the result in court.
Only in backward nations (such as America) are the results so easy to manipulate.
ikans are too busy watching Duck Dynasty re-runs.
There needs to be a decentralized open ledger of everyones vote to ensure that it has been counted correctly.

What will the bottom two pictures look like in 20 years? Apple will drop down to the SEARS pic, going out of business and closing out it's products. And the picture above Apple will be Soylent Turkey Day.
All it´s going to take is one well aimed and powerful X-Class solar flare and all four of those pics will be history. Almost happened back in 2012. Nothing was done about it of course. Not surprising. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ukQhycKOFw
I'm talking about AMERIKA not the Swiss,,,,,the Swiss will not count the votes,, the bankers will,,,Jesus H Christ wake the fuck up....
Well, I used to be banker... but I'm sort of on their shit list now, and unlike the Diebold man (or any other supernatural boogeyman) I will be in the counting room tomorrow.
Cut the hypocrisy.
You don't have to accept their "suggested" choices. But the passive aggressive silence and surrender of rights has both a history and a legal basis for failing to deliver any "change".
Hey, all you sheeple. If there is one country in the world that is different, it is Switzerland. Intellligent, educated people, who get it. I think the thing about the polls showing it losing is all about setting a precedent so when they try to fix the vote, they can say, hey the polls predicted this. If Urban Redneck is Swiss and he will be in the counting room, I only hope there are many more like him. I hope he has read up on the various tricks they use to fix hand written ballot counts.
Watch them like a hawk!!
I'm not Swiss (they are much more polite and subtle than I am), and I'm also not ready to give up my US passport (just yet). But I have lived here a while (several times) and if I decide to write the letter asking for citizenship I have to face to local citizenship council, and if for some bizarre reason they were to vote "no" -- I want to make damn sure that I can scrounge 500 votes from my neighbors in local referendum, so I am "involved" in the local community...
The system has been hijacked by the multinationals making it TOTALLY impossible to effect change within the criminal cartel. Like trying to reason with the anaconda that just swallowed you.
Try it with my warmest regards.
kill switch
Switzerland will not count the votes?
Which vote are you talking about?
a) Of a nation of 8 million people, that most of its money comes from offshore (money laundering, tax-evasion, stolen from other nations, and so on and so forth) surrounded by bank secrecies which dates back to the Middle Ages.
b) Or, of The Feral Constitution (Republic) of 26 states, which would be the envy to the world for its healthcare (universal and about 1/3 cheaper than of the US), labor-unions (25% of its workforce), that the government is 33.8% of its GDP (about 1/3 more than of US federal government) …. while being the most competitive nation in the world.
Switzerland has a trade surplus with the world, and a trade surplus with China. It is wealthy because it is a producing, exporting country (i.e. its industry wasn't destroyed by centralized power and monetary debasement as fast as the US, France, the UK, etc.).
Then, go and tell this to the Americans that Switzerland did it:
a) With universal healthcare (that’s about 1/3 cheaper than of the US)
b) With 25% of the labor force in unions
c) That the government is 33.8% of its GDP (1/3 larger than of US federal government)
d) While being the most competitive nation in the world.
You’ll be either labeled a socialist or a fascist.
Which vote are you talking about?
WTF Over and out!!
to Urbn Redneck
The Swiss were humiliated en mass by the US gov forcing them to rat out their banks' customers info.
However, if they vote NO to gold, perhaps they don't deserve to have their own banking system.
The vote will be 50.00000000000000000000000000000000001

do the voting counter machines work the same way as the S&P algos 3 minutes before the close?
Math wasn't your best subject in school, was it, p00k1e?
50.001 to 49.999
There I fixed it.
When an employee of a major swiss bank turned over the proof of their hiding nazi gold (stolen from victims) the swiss showed their true colors in how they treated that good and moral individual. He became a pariah in their eyes and they showed that they were totally uninterested in doing right, if it would hurt their pocketbook or reputation. I suspect with the moral decline in thier society, that the vote on Nov. 30th will not be what thier ancestors whould have expected. The obvious bribe concerning a ridiculouis base financial support for citizens (at such a high level as to be incredibly attractive to the less than succesfull who will always be earning by way of the black market) would be recognized as such by a moral society. p.s. they were not humiliated, they were most likely compomised by NSA data on the Canton leaders and Bank directors.

Switzerland IS the exeption. Is a country immensely different from everything else you've ever seen in the history of humanity. That's also why the ZioCONs want to destroy it.
Yes, the two countries that must be destroyed to establish NWO. Take a guess.
The reason Switzerland is an exception is because the people give enough of a shit to participate and ensure their process isn't systematically corrupted. But the turnout tomorrow is only going to be about 50% of licensed voters (no higher than in the USSA). If no one in America actively fights to fix the US system - it will not be fixed, disgruntled citizens and FED officials alike can pray for a deus ex machina, but it's a theatrical device, not a solution.
In the US, the votes are also counted and controlled at the local level and the process is controlled at the State level.
Whatever the Diebold man does, it is only permitted because State legislators (who most voters can't even name) buy Diebold voting machines that don't necessarily provide receipts and uniformly provide no mechanism for voters or auditors to verify that a specific vote went to a specific candidate.
And regardless of what the Diebold man does... the local fucktards, either by corruption or unmitigated incompetence, can swing the vote an order of magnitude worse. Your neighbor, who can't be bothered to calibrate each machine correctly, or intentionally mis-calibrates them is only the tip of the iceberg. They run test votes of specif ballots through the machines before each election, and they are supposed to reset the counter to 0 before the actual election (just like they are supposed to test each and every option and equal number of times), and of course none of the poll watchers are onsite with simple mechanical click counter to ensure the number of ballots cast corresponds to the number of people who went through the line, and no one wants to look at what exactly the process is when local officials realize at the end of the night that they have more votes than voters.
The process can't be fixed from the top-down, that only facilitates systematic corruption. Integrity of the ballot box can only be restored by demand and force of the people -- precinct-by-precinct and then electing State legislators who will implement systemic reforms.
Well the city alderman is as corrupt as the county commissioner who is "owned" as much as the state representative who is blackmailed and bribed as much as the congressman ---so tell me again about this ballot box thing. ---just saying.
I almost forgot, 18 US states have popularly instituted obligatory referendums (Constitutional Amendment - same as Switzerland), and at least 7 more have less powerful "initiatives". But unless the Plebs organize and infiltrate their local polling precincts - then "they" are free fuck with the votes while they're counting them unobserved.
Just because BHO was a half-assed dilettante and establishment tool of a community organizer, doesn't mean everyone else has to do a shitty job too.
EDIT: a useful link for seeing just how far one can bypass the establishment with direct democracy in the US, if they can get eyes on the vote count -
http://direct-democracy-navigator.org/legal_designs?utf8=%E2%9C%93&searc...
The U.S. system cannot be fixed, period. It is not about diebold machines or gerrymandering, it is about the Lesters.
A very small percentage of the U.S. population make significant monetary contributions to political candidates. Those contributions are critical in getting a candidate past the primary into the general election ballot. Only those candidates selected by the very exclusive club called significant contributor can make it to the ballot them be voted for.
In short, you get to vote on whomever the contributors selected for you.
You are trying to refight the battle of Thermopylae and change the outcome. Virginia (where I have a farm and citizenship) literally ran a carpet bagger against a vulture capitalist in last senate race and they called it a "choice".
In the county, if Haywood Jablome had been able to pull a meager 92 votes in precint 402, he could have beaten the millionare vulture capitalist and incumbent US senator (and come in second)
Moving from the county to the city, if Haywood Jablome had been able to pull a pathetic 7 votes in precinct 19, he could have beaten the carpet bagger (and come in second)
If the establishment tools start losing to candidates named Haywood Jablome, more than just The Onion will notice.
If 7 or 92 more people stay home, NO ONE WILL NOTICE.
All it takes is a reasonable objective, a viable plan, a lot of hard work, a little luck, and a lot of other concerned people picking their battles WISELY. (maximum impact with minimum "converts", perhaps it's not someone's home precint, but the one just down the the road on the way to work...)
Regardless of whether the goal is to fix the system or to bring down the system, it will not fundamentally change until a fundamentalist changes it.

>>>If the establishment tools start losing to candidates named Haywood Jablome, more than just The Onion will notice.
If the US presidential elections start drawing turnouts of 20%, they'll notice that, too.
I can't say I have the answers, but at various times (going back to the 1960s) I've been quite politically active, and at this point in my life I just have better things to do. If you enjoy being, or boosting, the man in the arena, go right ahead and do so.
Personally, I believe the optimum outcome for the USA is its dismemberment, but no candidates are broaching that subject. Here's to small, peaceful countries!
That's one part of the puzzle. The congressional districts have been gerrymandered to ensure that the owners don't have to buy every candidate in every district. Then the buy the congressional leadership and new faces don't matter at all unless they comply. Add in a two party system of which both parties are completely owned by monied interests and the electoral college and they have created a nice illusion that you could change something with your vote. The system is gamed to ensure nobody who might rock the boat gets elected.
Not voting surrenders us to the barbarians! That is exactly what they want! I say demand a paper ballot at the threat of a hanging and a riot and don't leave the precinct until the paper ballots are counted.
It's getting to where the Stazi will begin to eliminate those who have some intellect and instaed of being slaughtered one at a time, do it like the people in Europe do and get your tired ass out in the street. If you think everything is going to be all right as long as somebody wins "prancing with the stars" you're going to be robbed completely of any freedoms our forefathers fought and died to win for us and future generations.
Nothing is "Normal" anymore and we are ruled by criminals.....all of the motherfuckers! If you care about your country resolve to ACT! Not voting is being a whining pussy. You've got nothing to say about anything if you don't vote and don't go home, light a torch, visit with your other patriotic neighbors who are there in force we can take our country back and get rid of the likes of these professional cons and thieves who are in the "election game". All it will take is for some trash like fat slug christie or walker or even clinton hanging from a light post and things will take on a different light, fucking instantly! I promise!
Get some balls amerika!
Switzerland is different because the oligarchs need to live somewhere, and they prefer it to be a nice place.
Redneck, Yes the Swiss should go to vote. At our recent mid-term elections, I voted for referendums and some local spots but left the governor and senator blank because I didn't like any of them.
"Don't vote, it just encourages them"
That is the best, most straightforward explanation I have heard.
If no one votes,, the system and the media whores are fucked.....How do you manage a fail DEMOCRACY without voters??? Crack your jaw on that one...
Revolution
Lick n load .300 blackout
There has never been and will NEVER be an election in which noone votes. The parasites always vote. They vote religously. When you don't vote, they do vote, and they vote to take more of your money and divide it up among themselves.
There has never been and will NEVER be an election in which noone votes.
I'll give you that!! But it becomes increasingly evident that drastic measures are required,, if not the whole thing goes down the sink..and EX-PAT is the option...If you have the resources,, if not? Prep and head for the sustainable communities.
But you can't keep the muppets from voting, and I hear TPTB think they have another 5 million on deck to dilute any abstentions or "present" votes, and they can always pass out more spoils to create more muppets if they get desperate.
However, what happens if Incitatus, Haywood Jablome, Validmir Putin, "blank", or "none of the above" pulls down 10% of the vote, or God forbid, comes in second and beats one of the establishment's faux-choice candidates? Even in a single precinct - that CANNOT be ignored, or discounted as a lazy electorate or the perennial BLS-favorite - "bad weather". But it cannot happen unless someone actively organizes a resistance - and invests time on election day informing all the muppets that they can make a conscious choice to tell establishment that their "choices" and corruption are BULLSHIT, and other people have infiltrated the local precinct apparatus controlled by establishment to ensure the BULLSHIT message is broadcast.
as if human reel voters were needed to make any score....
even the frog in the 90' set dead people voting on elections...
no reel voters ain't a problem.
There are countless cases in which cities and counties proposed new taxes in order to build gold-plated boondoggles that would enrich only a handful of already-rich local parasites, and in which citizens VOTED DOWN, and therefore stopped, those new taxes. In fact, numerous such cases occured JUST LAST MONTH.
I hope you are right. Unfortunatelly the Federal Bureau of Intimidation appears to have a mandate to infiltrtate all poitical challengers (new parties). Afterwards these movements by the the populace are targeted for suppression and if neccessary much further draconian plots by our supposed protectors. The likely perps who killed my parents were both FBI informants. If FBI is going to infiltrate and sabotage local new political movements then, I can only ask the populace wether or not they still believe they have any political power at all. i doubt seriously that they do have any power if their organizations are going to be continuously subjected to this mistreatment in the courts and the press. By the way these informants were not low level, on the contrary they were towords the top of thier respective criminal empires. For your edification the history of this group is one of racism, paranoia and violence against truth tellers. Research thier background please before jumping to conclussions.
Damn. Sorry. But I'm not saying to join any group. I'm saying that, in almost every election, there are referendums, many of them binding, to levy new taxes and fees. I always vote, and I usually vote against the new taxes and fees. (And, by the way, when I don't vote against them, I usually end up sorry that I didn't, because new taxes and fees seem to have a way of getting used for things other than the things their proponents said they were used for, and, secondly, seem to always increase.)
Because no one has the guts to revolt.
Rand will perform just like his father in the primaries. He'll look great until the voting starts. Then he'll disappear.
No worries, you'll have plenty of time to come up with Plan B.
Rand will look great until the MSM interview all the other candidates, but not him, and until the debate "moderators" ask other aspirants many questions, but not him, and until the MSM write as if EVERYBODY HAS ALREADY KNOWN FOR A LONG LONG TIME that the only contestants who have a chance of winning are some other Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and don't even mention him.
Rand Paul is a Zionist sympathizer who grovels to AIPAC and "Jewish donors" so he will get fair airtime along with Zionist Cruz.
The old joke in 2007 was "Ron Paul cured my apathy". My new joke is that his son Rand caused my apathy to re-emerge.
Well, perhaps you can tell the rest of us how he should play it.
They shut his father up comprehensively by switching the cameras off and switching the rules each time he out-thought them. Perhaps Rand paul is playing a cuter game. At this point he has to be seen to be inside the tent to get any media exposure whatsoever.
Boat drinks.
When I clued in about 8 years ago, I was furious!
Armed up, bought soup, metal, and began trying to 'educate' some dear friends and family.
You can guess how well that worked out.

I thought Oblabla was Bush on Steroids.

How about Pictures of a Gun and Ammo show

Gun shows are orderly events with no violence and illegals can't participte in commerce. How's that for the new anti American.
CHICAGO -- – National PTA is positioning itself as a key player at the front line of education reform. The association today announced a new three-year effort to mobilize parents to advance key education priorities, beginning with common core state standards—a voluntary, state-led, internationally benchmarked set of high academic standards in English language arts and mathematics. A $1 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will help support the effort.

It's more like The Bill & Melinda Gates EUGENICS Foundation.

Reminds me of the time I went to a meeting of the local Audubon Society, and all the twits wanted to talk about was global warming, and political activism.
"Avoid teams at all cost. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name. If they say, "We're the So-and-Sos," take a walk. And if, somehow, you must join, if it's unavoidable, such as a union or a trade association, go ahead and join. But don't participate; it will be your death. And if they tell you you're not a team player, congratulate them on being observant.” - G. CarlinThat's why environmentalism is dead. Conservation, remediation, anti-pollution efforts, anti-GMO, and anything of any value has been replaced with Ken Lay's carbon credit scam. Al Gore is big oil, Maurice Strong is big oil, Greenpeace has gone pro-nuclear. The environment is being rapidly destroyed and the only opposition to this absolute insanity is hot air climate change psudeoscience BS. We are expected to live in ghetto reservations with toilets that don't flush and toxic CFL light bulbs, while dipshits like Gore live in mansions with high electric bills.
Oh...and Eli Broad is busy training school superintendents:
http://www.broadcenter.org/academy/about
"...dedicated to transforming school systems..."
don't the pictures show that the average american knows this intuitively?
Agreed. Don't give legitimacy or your consent by voting. It doesn't matter.
And Rick Perry is a secret (and former) Democrat like both Bush's and (gasp) union leader Reagan, who pushed the first amnesty and enlarged gov't. and banned some guns.
It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter........(Meatballs)
"Withdraw your consent, don't participate in either." If that works for you, go for it. But you know, the state still controls you, whether you consent or not. If you don't pay your taxes, they will steal your wages, your house, perhaps even your freedom. So it would seem rational to vote, early and often, for those less inclined to steal from you. For those who benefit from the government are certain to vote for the next Santa Claus.
::deleted double entry::
Skateboarder, Absolutely agree with you, none of the things mentioned here are American. The title of this 'article' is click bait and this Tyler should get fucked for the bullshit heading. The comment above the pics should be the title.
1. Tell people they have a choice to which school their kids go to in the first place and they would be interested in every step of the process. Would like to assume parents are generally good and would be interested enough to choose if actually given the chance beyond private/pricey school.
2. Actually give people a choice when they are called to elect someone by letting all who want to enter the debates during the campaignes. Give free access to the process and I am sure more people who vote for a legitimate choice.
3. What is free-market about the .gov protectionist schemes to protect the Jobs empire with patents adn giving him a court system to sue anyone else who wants to participate in the market as well?
4. Ok, here you might have a point. Americans will run, dive and body-check a motherfucker for some free to near free shit. It is equivilant to the bull runs in Spain but the 'mericans are the bulls. How appropriate is that description? Bulls/Cows.!.
No, its not Rick P or whatewer cunt is offered to you by medeia
It is
Values
Culture
History
Morale
Self-control
Self-restraint
Religion
Common goals
Living for others (aka socialism) not selfishness
Living for future (not for today aka nihilism)
I think there is a slightly better way to think about how and why to "live for others", and it is in fact very selfish: the best types of happiness depend in part on friends, family and society, so a SMARTLY selfish person will naturally tend towards being very thoughtful of others and working to build a good society.
A cunning person, on the other hand, will be stupidly self-centered: they won't even realize how much shit (ie: misery) they are innevitably creating for themselves, each time they abuse others.
I think it is very important to explain this to people: life is WAY BETTER when you are good - it's up to each person to then decide if they want to be happy (good / symbiosis) or unhappy but trying to look good (evil / parasitism). It's a no-brainer, when presented right!
We are not born with this no-brainer mythical goodness. People are born inherently selfish, just ask your mom who changed your diapers and fed you. Moral doctrines that we take for granted today like, do onto others...bla bla and serve others and community..bla bla are all based on ancient theology. They could all be forgotten and changed in one generation.
I'm telling you that this inherent selfishness is GOOD, so long as it is not stupidly self-centered.
Are you telling me you can't see how disadvantageous it is to be a scammer or a manipulator, to be lying to everyone around you, to be forced to be in denial about countless things, always desperately trying to maintain a false image?
Being in the service of evil SUCKS. Being evil = being deeply unhappy in life. It is a no-brainer (when explained properly).
They could be forgotten and changed in 72 hours if the power goes out and stays out...
;-D
Nice try, but no.
2 things I don't agree with,
Socialism IS selfishness disguised as altruism
Definition of Nihilism: A revolutionary doctrine that advocates destruction of the social system for it's own sake.
I'm not sure if that's what you meant, but the old social system has already been pretty much destroyed. To destroy the existing system would mean a return to tradition.
All those 1%ers are going to die, most of them soon as they are old. New ones will take their places. Also, the hard number of 1%ers is growing from new additions all the time and due to the fact that the general population is increasing. So, yes some people are extremely rich, and others are getting richer all the time.
What some posters are really upset about is that somewhere, someone is getting rich and it's not them.
And that's where being a slave to fantasy explanations of how things work comes from.
Yes, the political parties are almost the same, and corruption is rampant. So what, it was that way before you got here and will be after you are gone. Same goes for the big business people. It's all just a workaround, not a show stopper.
Unless you won't go out and get what you want.
'Rich' is subjective.
"I have wealth beyond measure - my treasures are words."
'Rich' is subjective."
You're Damn right! Compared to the rest of the World, average folks in the West are all still very Rich. Not for long, Global equality is going to be a real bitch.
But here's something to make you laugh, Dana Carvey. It won't make sense in the future as we won't be able to look back at the hard times we had "back in the day".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbU4Cb4A4-o
getting rich is good---using crime to get there is not---the most wealth today goes to those who do the worst crime-- murder gets you riches and power-- "go out and get what you want"
I guess that makes us a bunch of spotted salamanders sitting under a big log with out iphones waitin for the cat to come, huh?
Baaa, baaa, baaa.. .

As Stalin said "it's not the vote that counts, it's the people that count the votes."""

You are just another brainwashed moron, trying to be the first in line.
Next time try to read the article and understand what is happening.
You are exactly what the article is talking about.

You selfish cretin.
Oh jeez, relax the sphincter and enjoy life a little.
Civics? What's that?
Cheap cars made by Honda.
Carburated Honda Civic hatchbacks from the late 1970's got over 60mpg, or better with a little know how. Now we celebrate a car if it get 30 mpg. Amazing isnt it?
I had one of those. I think it had a 600cc Honda motorcycle engine and it blew a fuse every 1/2 a block.
The Honda CRX when released, in 1984 or so, got 76 mpg in a Car and Driver test. With Carburetors no less. The next year version got 86 mpg. Honda trumpeted a new technology, which any mention of, has since disappeared.
Wait, dindt those have Variable Valve Timing? Humans have stupid terrible memory. For fucks sake you cant even get a hybrid electric that gets 86 mpg, and its 25 years later! Jesus.....what have we done.
The EV-1 was pretty badassed electric car as well, great for in town commuters and very affordable. Most people think it got scraped for its electric technology after it was bought out by AMC Hummer (I think). In fact, they wanted the transmission design. The transmission was a continuous tension shaft design, like on some snowmobiles. I think NIssan uses that now, they must have bought the patent. The Maxima has that transmission, CVT, Continuously Variable Transmission. Just one gear that runs up and down a jackscrew depending on the RPMs.
I've got a red '88 CRX Si...love it!
The average Joe did not get that kinda mileage. And they didn't advertise that. I remember. You could lean the fuel air mixture and increase your mileage a little but it would burn the engine up. Honda’s were better than most but they did not get that kind of mileage. All cars are detuned for longevity so you could tweek a little but you could not exceed the efficiency of the original engine design.
I smashed one of those into a bridge.
The bridge won.
The cops that came were very entertaining though.
Mushroom country in PA.
Made friends, even got to use their radar gun outside the station.
Then the mayor shows up, 3:00 am. We are drinking coffee.
I mentioned it kinda smelled outside.
The mayor who reminded me of "Boss Hog" said,
Son, that's not the smell of shit, that's the smell of money!
35 years ago, remember it like yesterday.
The Honda was totaled. :-)
If you had that accident today, you would have destroyed the bridge !!!
In four months I will have my homestead, tractor, 5,000 ounces of silver, a year supply of food, ammo, and no debt. I hope the world can wait that long before falling apart.
That's 416 pounds to be exact. That's a decent haul right there, watch your lower back.
Compact diesel tractors are a great illustration of inflation. I see used machines selling all the time for nearly what they cost 25+ years ago brand new.
End it, already.
How will you fuel your tractor?
"In four months I will have..."
“The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ 18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ 21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” - Luke 12:16-21
Participating in any of the pictured activities will not improve the quality of anyone's life.
Except the PTA meetings.
If parents gave a shit, things would be tons better
Not really. PTA is at best an unofficial advisory council. Get back to me on the number of PTA recommendations to remove Common Core that have been implemented, let alone forwarded.
No, PTA meetings are not going to change national or, more importantly, state education policy. That's not what they're for. They are a way to foster dialogue between parents and teachers, and also to help interested parents figure out ways that they can make the school a better place.
Unless you've got s rock solid majority of like minded parents it's impossible for even School Boards to change anything. School Administrators are very successful at keeping 'malcontents' off School Boards and unles you've gpt resl screwups running your schools the Administrstors manage to run things with little interference or oversight. Good deal - high pay, good benefits.....littlle accountability.
profound, but beyond comprehension by about 85%.
The biggest dupes are the ones still active in the economic process.
Fixed it for you..
… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses
Or in this case cheap chinese trinkets and moar EBT credits
Um, where do you get the right to vote?
And where do you get the right to form a government?
What i said; the iSuck is the new gadget to get a job. Social media is old school.
These elections do not change things. Politicians are selected to pick from. Promises are made and never kept and no consequences exist for lying to the people. PTA meetings don't change things. We are told the schools will do what they do without parental consent. People then resort to indulgences to fulfill themselves. This is no surprise. http://newamerica-now.blogspot.com/
Americans can be legally liberated from their cash by cops whose salaries they pay (Over $2.5 billion stolen from 63,000 motorists so far), probed and abused by DHS ($60 billion a year), spied upon infinitely by the NSA (over $70 billion a year), imprisoned for life or assassinated by your president, forced to drink fluoridated water (a neurotoxin) and forced to eat toxic GMO foods since they will not label them (every European country labels). But at least they have football, iPhones, and Black Friday sales. They hate us for our freedoms:
Dramatic Correlation Shown Between GMOs and 22 DiseasesThese data show very strong and highly significant correlations between the increasing use of glyphosate, GE crop growth and the increase in a multitude of diseases. Many of the graphs show sudden increases in the rates of diseases in the mid-1990s that coincide with the commercial production of GE crops. The large increase in glyphosate use in the US is mostly due to the increase in glyphosate-resistant GE crops.
“The probabilities in the graphs and tables show that it is highly unlikely that the correlations are a coincidence. The strength of the correlations shows that there is a very strong probability that they are linked somehow. The number of graphs with similar data trends also indicates a strong probability that there is a link. Although correlation does not necessarily mean causation, when correlation coefficients of over 0.95 (with p-value significance levels less than 0.00001) are calculated for a list of diseases that can be directly linked to glyphosate, via its known biological effects, it would be imprudent not to consider causation as a plausible explanation.

Butt knot al teh copz ar bad! Coppers be our friend in America if you dont like arew cops here go to place with better laws america is number 1. if you arent leaving then you cant vote for cops in america!!!
What?
Ii feared it may had been over the top. But, Im just high enough that I thought it was funny.
Nice recovery.
who has been forced to drink fluoridated water or forced to eat GMO food?
give me 1 example.
Millions of innocent little kids for starters........
For Pete's sake, who hasn't?
no, they were not forced.
you can argue that it's not healthy, but not that they were forced.
if you're going to try to claim that, them please explain the method by which they were "forced".
did someone hold a gun to their heads? did someone force open their mouths and cram it down their throats?
i don't tolerate lies, not even small ones, stick to the truth.
That's true. You can avoid fluoridated water by never drinking it, never cooking with it, and never washing with it. You can avoid GMO by not eating.
You will die of thirst or starve. But you have a choice.
+1
glad we agree on that point.
although, i don't believe that the choice is between that or starving - not everything is GMO, and if someone really cares that much, one only needs a few acres of land to grow some non-GMO food. likewise with water, it can be purified, can come from many sources, does not need to be fluoridated.
if someone really cared, they could insist on non-GMO food, non-fluoridated water.
but, the point is, people (especially americans) generally don't care, they are lazy and apathetic, and would rather whine about how they are being "forced" into something, than taking the time and effort to change their own reality.
