i emailed one of my state senators to thank him for being 1 of 8 that voted no to rushing through the patriot act extension

if we try real hard we can delay the inevitable police state that we shalst become by 10-20 years

they're lobbying to give the campus police here tasers and guns

fuck yeah bro

eugene is crazy dangerous bro

WWWWWWWWWTF

freshmen "rioted" three days into the school year

riot = stood around in the streets mostly peacefully, one beer bottle was thrown

disproportionate response, swat team called in, tear gas and shit

now our campus police need guns, yep

sounds like my high school party, sorry, eugene a weak party school

Everyone knows Nick parties like a fucking Rockstar.

go big government or go home

Fuck this, you're all trollin'.

Jim Himes voted against it in the House, I will email him to thank him. Where did you find the Senate vote record with eight opposed to rushing it?

ITT we discuss republicants and democraps

if i wanted to attend ap arty school i would have stayed in vegas or gone to arizona

i came here because i like the scenery and shit

i was merely pointing out how fucking ridiculous it is one incident (ie 1 thrown bottle a CAMPUS POLCE CAR) calls for a ballot initiative with waaaaaaaay too much support and is actually probably going to pass to give our fucking power trip of a campus security force guns and tasers

beacuse you know they fuckin' need that shit when eugene has ap erfectly servicalbe full police force already

why the fuck did i move to this state

That's clearly that bad really. You should be questioning their bills and pushes for creationism to be taught in PUBLIC schools.

Yeah, so much for that separation of church and state bullshit.

but still, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, vn1

i'm clearly a grade school student, and texas does what texas does

god in school doesn't hurt me at all, a gun shot will.

they seem good until you hear their view on isreal, or how things like abortion should be 100% left to the state. i do like some of the financial side of the libertarian platform though. plus they seem less likely to sell their soul like the 2 big parties do

fuck israel

Which is what conflicts me. I lean heavily on the side of Libertarian in a lot of areas of civil rights and some fiscal responsibilities.

But the thing with states rights to determine civil rights is something I have a problem with.

It's really hard to ever really explain my political position and give it a name. Because I'm clearly liberal or conservative and I'm clearly a complete libertarian.

You mean that when we give up our privacy to the government in law, they actually practice this? Well shit, I thought this was still about al-qaeda (I wonder why Osama was captured shortly before this vote?)

i should have moved to regon

my college police have guns

email i got today

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many
others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other
liberal ideals, was very much in favour of higher taxes to support more
government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures

that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harboured an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs.

The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was
doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very
difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a
boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"

She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus;
college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over."

Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only
has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really hard
for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail
off!"

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the conservative side of the fence."

If anyone has a better explanation of the difference between conservative and liberal or progressive or neocon, I'm all ears.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended."

In other words, propaganda.

Very recycled too.

PROPAGANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

SHOULD BE DESTROYED

If a liberal hears something new about politics, he researches it and debates it with others until he finds logical ground for the idea to stand on.
I a conservative hears something new about politics, he forwards the email to all of his family and friends.

propaganda - ˌprä-pə-ˈgan-də, ˌ
2. : the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person

blame the blacks

by that argument anything a liberal argues should be inherently propaganda

im glad you used anything resembling truth, fact, or intelligent in your rebuttal. now go run along and write your donation check to newt.

why would i write a check to a reptile

THEY DONT EVEN HAVE OPPOSABLE THUMBS TO SIGN THE BACK

These analogies miss any sort of details. The ultra-rich make their money off of the labor of others, who they generally treat like shit. Retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and resource harvesters leave most of the labor to low-paid workers who make considerably less than their work effectively brings in. The rest of the ultra-rich are mostly performers (actors, musicians, etc.) who still have a hierarchy of people under them that make everything work.

The bottom line is that there is hardly a person in this country who makes a million dollars per year off of their own labor, the further you get past making living wage and living comfortably, you hire other people to perform lesser tasks for you, inflate your self-worth in managing these people, and you spend your disposable income to protect their status, from savings accounts and investments to converting money into political influence in one form or another. The vast influence that money has bought in the form of direct and indirect political influence, primarily lobbyists and media, have lowered the standards of compensation for work to below what is regarded as "living wage". The minimum standard of living off of a 40-hour work week, itself a standard that was fought hard for, is no longer feasible.

Greed has forced the minimum wage to stay below what is required to meet basic needs. Greed forces the exclusion of healthcare from the standard of living.

i pretty much just hate the underclass

enough to get a +2
