      MSGID: 1:153/757.0 91be1741       REPLY: 1:135/392 68d74728       TZUTC: -0700       CHRS: LATIN-1 2       > I heard one all wise and knowing elite say on tv a while back "if we       > don't allow them (illegals) into the country, who's going to clean our       > toilets?"       > I thought "I got a suggestion for ya".              I think we're thinking of the same suggestion. . . hehh. . .              Those voting against the "ilegals" are doing grwat -- they use them for        cheap(beliow legal minwage) in their farms or estates, then make a big noise        against them to distract everyone, & to up the price on them for when they're        through with the current batch.              > Be nice if we had a check list of yes/no where our tax money is spent.       > I doubt those guys in DC or Ottawa would honour it.              Nope --for one thing, they'd be out on their collective benchwarmers first        thing!              I say there's a core set of costs that are must haves for everyone to        participate in, federally, (national defense, of course, & minimally required        amnounts to operate the government itself *sigh*, & others); let's vote on        therest of where our money goes.              & for rasises for pols -- they can propose a raise bill, but it only goes after       the next election, so if it's a bad move, the voters can directly respond to        it.              I mean, for you & me, raises go with merits & proven value to the boss. Why        should these yutzes be excepted?              >> & even if I did lose some thing, I'm pretty darn sure nobody alive today was       > directly responsible!       > Same here.       > People are responsible for their own actions, not their ancestors.       > If that were true where does it stop?       > Should we hold people responsible for their grandparents actions?       > G-G-grandparents and on back to Adam and Eve? At what point is it said "Ok,       > nothing past that date is important"?              That's wshen I finally bega to become a proper adult, when I realized that if       I could blame my tendencies & troubles on my dad, I must grant him the same        privilege & then I had to think of how far back that might go. Then I       realized it's simpler to man up & take personal responsibilty -- If I knew       poker then as I do now, I'd decide that I'm going to win even with crumby       hands dealt to me. (I do all the time)              I made someone fold 3 aces one time, & I had far less (only I knew this for        sure) in a live game a bunch of years ago -- fun stuff & a clear lesson in        life.              >> Not sure where the media gets its hate news from       > They like to take the worst of anything and make it seem everyone       > believes that.              & if they can';t find any, they're not averse to making some thing up out of        whole cloth, or to manipulate people or events so as to make them more        newsworthy.              You watch a "Live" newscast on tv -- do you know 100% for sure when & where        each block of video was recorded, or even created in a studio?              They've madesome errors, like people pointing out how the big crowd had        du8plicate groups of people pasted in here & there. Or when shadows indicate        the stated time is incorrect. It's harder to pull it off now,m with millions        the world over easily seeing it via internet & analyzing it with new tools        daily. . .              Good.              > And I think social media is to blame for a lot.       > At one time you had a crackpot with some crazy idea and people laughed       > at them or ignored them. Today someone writes a crazy tweet and all these       > people agree. Heaven help us if we have actually that many crazy people       > running around.              No kidding!              >> . . . Never met an evil man-hating feminist &/or lesbian.       > I've run into a few dislikeable people in my day on all sides, but they       > are just one and not the whole lot.       > But the vast majority, 95 per cent or more plus are normal people.       > Opinions sure, but not nut jobs.              Yup, I've talked with those with wild opinions both left & right of me, &       even more or less in my wedge; I mentally shrug & move on as quickly as I       can extricate myself without setting them off.              I do remind some people, as needed, that they do NOT speak for "all" they       claim to speak for. Opinons are like rectums(recta?) -- everyone has one, but       only the hot wind output of your own don't stink.              /George              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-6        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/305 330       SEEN-BY: 129/331 134/100 138/146 153/105 135 141 757 7715 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 307 317 400 424 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/452 664 700 240/5832 261/38 266/512 267/67 275/100 1000       SEEN-BY: 280/464 282/1038 292/854 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/11       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 640/1321 712/848 3634/12       PATH: 153/757 7715 229/426           |
