Can we get an entitlements sub-forum?

[Foxfyre]

You know, for stuff like Social Security, EBT, and the like?

I would think the economics forum could be appropriate there.

 

[MisterBeale]

The one from that should be deep sixed is the conspiracy theory one.

As is, it acts as our ministry of truth while being just a tool for editorial control.

Just rename it, logical assumption sub-forum.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Mods, can you please create a dogmaphobe entitlement forum?

TIA

 

[Lisa558]

How about “reasons why I think Lisa is a wonderful person and a great addition to the forum” forum?

 

[Picaro]

Aren't that many real posters here; the place need maybe 5 forums tops. Mods like all the pointless forums so they bury posts and topics they don't in some hole nobody ever looks down.

I suspect most of the Paul-Bots are dead.

Nah. The Bush-bot neo-cons like Rubio and that bunch took over the Tea Party long ago and turned it into an antithetical ghost of itself.

SS isn't an "entitlement", people pay into that.

Yeah, at the barrel of a government gun.

 

[Ropey]

Cereal_Killer isn't here anymore?

Oddball would still be perm-banned if c_k was still here.

I'm down with that!
The webz could become a relaxing, enjoyable place.

Careful kid, 2/3 of your republican pals here are depending on it for their daily cat food.

That's none of my business.

If it were up to me, I'd ban senior discounts, too. lol.

Shit. They're the generation of voters who got the country into the mess it's in now.

Why reward em on the way out? Pft...

 

[Crepitus]

Why reward em on the way out?

Because they paid into it.

Like I said the first time.

But whatever. Let em have it, but young people should be able to opt out.

They shouldn't be forced into it just because previous generations were unwise.

Not really, no. All of tis was voted on by our elected representatives.

Just like today, we get the government we choose.

That's Democracy for ya.

What if the electorate are the tyrants?

 

[Crepitus]

I don't think it works that way. You'd need a new word to describe it at the very least.

 

[Natural Citizen]

At the end of the day it's just another tax.

And that's why neither side of the party-of-one will let people opt out.

To do so would expose the lie that your money is being put aside and saved for you.

If it were really being saved and set aside for you, it'd be sitting there collecting interest, wouldn't it?

So what would it matter if the young neighbor next door opts out of it, if that were the case.

But that's not the case. Which is why they won't let you opt out.

That money is immediately spent as general revenue to fund government and your ability to collect in the future is fully dependent on projected future tax revenue/shakedowns.

It absoutely would. This forum is overdue for a makeover, combining some forums and eliminating some others.

 

[Captain Caveman]

You know, for stuff like Social Security, EBT, and the like?

I suggest the forum puts a section on for you and Mac-7 for fluffy toy group hugs because anything that's not American triggers you both. Then in that section, you can get all the clichés out of your rectums, once you've both pulled the anal tampon out.

You two are not doing your fellow countrymen any favours, you're supposed to have the rough tough American Hollywood rugged image, not faggot wimps that get triggered over stuff you have fuck all knowledge about. So once you both sort yourselves out, I suggest you don't ask the forum for anything.

 

[MisterBeale]

What if the electorate are the tyrants?

Yup.

I don't think it works that way. You'd need a new word to describe it at the very least.

How about thieves?
