Grooming Transgender Teachers

Then Bush came along and gave us two recessions, and it took me a decade to dig my way out.

Such a pity for you. Was that actually Republicans' fault or just your poor management of finances or poor investment choices? I find it interesting how easy it is for people to deflect blame for personal mistakes somewhere else, namely on the political or socioeconomic climate. You based your economic premise about Republicans on personal experience, despite tens of millions of other people who did not. Your unique circumstance lends to poor management of personal finances and poor investment choices more than it does to Republicans supposedly tanking the economy.

"In terms of absolute strength – that is, without regard for body size, weight or composition – the average man tends to be considerably stronger than the average woman. Specifically, the absolute total body strength of women has been reported as being roughly 67% that of men."

Women Think More Efficiently than Men

A research team composed of scientists based in Madrid and Los Angeles reports that women’s brains work more efficiently than men’s even though their brains are smaller.

I don't say these things lightly.

Vietnam

 

[TemplarKormac]

Post some comments that deserve to be taken seriously.

What, namely, have I been unserious about? I'm still waiting for that.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Vietnam

What about it?

During the Vietnam War, more than 265,000 American women served the military and 11,000 women served in Vietnam, with 90% working as volunteer nurses.

When you can show me the point where women pass basic at the same rate the men do with regularity, without having to adjust the criteria of basic as it was during the Vietnam war, I'll be more than happy to agree that my views are simplistic. Until then, no. This only serves my point. Men fought, and women handled triage, carrying out the more intellectually taxing tasks regarding human anatomy.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Wow, guy, seriously, you consider this to be an accomplishment, you learned to game the system.

I learned how to use it as a last resort. Sorry, but no.

Frankly, I don't have a high opinion of SSI. About a decade ago, my late sister started losing her eyesight because her retinas were detaching. But the ******* bureaucrats at SSI decided she could "do something else". Forget she worked as a nurse for 40 years or she was a widow.

Well, it was a social program Democrats thought would be helpful. It backfired, didn't it? The lack of foresight into the human condition had a lot to do with that.

 

[TemplarKormac]

But they are happy to give payments to drug addicts, alcoholics, and other malingers who game the system.

I really hope you aren't comparing me to those types of people.

I made a conscious choice to seek out this program before the financial insolvency of my lack of income led to my suicide. I took advantage of it for a legitimate purpose. That is far from 'gaming the system.'

 

[TemplarKormac]

Under Biden, I'm making the best money of my life, I upgraded my home and diversified my income sources. Of course, that has as much to do with my own efforts than who happens to be in the white house.

Interesting, so you really are ignorant of the economic situations of others, aren't you?

That explains why you support Democrats now.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Point remains, guy, if the Confederacy existed today, it's be a third world country... with or without the poor people you are using racism to keep underfoot.

But, unfortunately for you, it doesn't. It renders your stereotypical views of southerners moot.

 

[TemplarKormac]

I was one of you idiots who thought the worst thing about Clinton was he lied about a blow job

Actually, he lied to Congress and to the American people. It wasn't so much the blowjob but the lie. That lie did more to impugn his character than a whore sucking him off under the Resolute Desk.

Uh, guy, I realize sitting on a couch collecting a check doesn't give you much of a perspective, but for people who WORK FOR A LIVING, Bush was an unmitigated disaster. The markets tanked, home values tanked, employment tanked. Under normal circumstances, I would have refinanced and sorted it out.. but thanks to Bush tanking the housing market, that wasn't even an option.

Actually, I did everything right. I bought a home that was adequate to my needs. I served my country with distinction. I got a college degree without incurring any debt in doing so. I took on additional jobs to get myself out of debt that were incurred when I had a medical issue.

The only bad decision I made that contributed to my woes was voting in Republicans... because they always **** it up for the rest of us.

I learned how to use it as a last resort. Sorry, but no.

You have a different definition of "last resort" than I do.

Well, it was a social program Democrats thought would be helpful. It backfired, didn't it? The lack of foresight into the human condition had a lot to do with that.

I think there are a lot of problems with Social Security in general. The first one being that when it was established, most people didn't even live to be 65. Also, in the past, when we had unions and workers rights, most people didn't worry about SS, because they had pension programs through their jobs and unions. Now we have a lot more people depending on it, and a lot of people gaming the system.

I'm maybe five years from retirement. I've paid into my entire life. I've been working since I was 16.

I really hope you aren't comparing me to those types of people.

Robert S. Heinlein once described the "Socialist disease in its worst form, the belief that the world owes you a living."

Not that I don't have compassion for your problems, but if the people you support had their way, you wouldn't get these kinds of benefits. You would only exist as long as you were useful to a capitalist.

 

[TemplarKormac]

You would only exist as long as you were useful to a capitalist.

Curious, it is because of a program like this that I am able to participate in a capitalist economy. Ironic, isn't it?

 

[JoeB131]

Actually, he lied to congress. It wasn't so much the blowjob but the lie.

When did he "lie to congress?" Let's forget the fact that the people pushing him on his affair were people like Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde, both of whom had their own mistresses.

The issue was that he lied to a court in a civil matter. Or maybe like a lot of men, he doesn't consider fellatio to be sex. Given that the judge in said civil case said any other relationships Clinton had were completely irrelevant to the issue at hand, just not seeing why it was a big deal.

 

[TemplarKormac]

You have a different definition of "last resort" than I do.

Well, let's just put it this way, I didn't seek out your definition when I made this decision.

 

[JoeB131]

If by participate you mean, "Living off of other people", um, yeah, irony isn't the word I would use.
Hypocrisy, maybe.

Naw, man, you just grabbed that money with both hands. I wouldn't. I wouldn't say, "Gee, I'm feeling emotionally distraught today, I won't go in to work."

I'd get over whatever was bothering me and get the job done.

Right, never mind the PTSD I got from nearly dying with asthma on the very last job I actually had. Yeah, I had a job. I had plans to carry out a normal life, but that happened. Reality happened.

You have such a lack of compassion for people who aren't like you. Really. And yes, that makes you a hypocrite given your routine posts about how Republicans are guilty of the same.

Actually, I resisted it. For years. Hence why I was employed previously. I refused to take unemployment for that reason when I lost the last two jobs I was in.
Hence, last resort. That's what it was, and you can't personally will that into the decision you thought I made.

Distasteful. But no crime was committed. if lying was a crime, Trump would be in prison for millennia

Was he under oath to Congress?

PTSD? My dad had PTSD from World War II. You know, because he was in the battles of Normandy and the Bulge (and others) as a combat medic. Yet oddly enough, he still held down a job, raised five kids and took care of business.

Oh, but you had an asthma attack once.
