It's difficult to blame Carter, since it was a legal contract, that he wasn't part of. Nixon is responsible for the culture of sending our jobs to China.    Well, he and Reagan.    Nixon opened the door and Reagan paid companies to move their factories out of the US.    Until Reagan,  businesses were punished for taking their factories out of the US.

Lesbians only became a thing with Bill Clinton's Don't Ask, Don't Tell.  Prior to that it wasn't an issue and as far as I know it wasn't a "crime" like being gay. ++++ If a woman gets pregnant, she's treated like someone who broke their leg or some other serious injury that makes them unable to fulfill all of their duties. Oddly, if a guy admits to purposely breaking his leg to avoid duty and a girl admits to purposely getting pregnant to avoid duty, only one will get thrown out with a dishonorable discharge.    For the clueless, it ain't the one with the vag.

@raphjd: The BBC is pretty SJW.   Name any SJW talking point and they report it as fact.    They de-muslim stories whenever they can. I very rarely watch the BBC.. but they seem to be fair with Trump. I'm sure they give muslims a free pass since muslims are so powerful in England.  Even the mayor of London is muslim.. and hates Trump.

@cteavin: @Frederick: You have 5 dots…  but I was replying to DENE - who has but one.   One dot does not make a person bad. But five does, eh? (lol) Well, 1 is barely anything. 5 is not much.. but is a sign that there is a problem.   When someone has 12 red dots (which is the maximum visible) THAT means the poster is a psycho moonbat.  When someone has 12 red dots, bring out the straight jackets! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp3_flfc54Q&feature=youtu.be&t=134 Check out the original.. which got over 18 MILLION views! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP9Wp6QVbsk

@raphjd: @flozen: @raphjd: If you look at my down votes, you will see the same 6 people (only shows the top 6) for Fred.   Someone, I won't mention Flozen's name (oops, that just slipped out),  in this thread is in my top 6 down voters. I'm glad you noticed.  I assign Thumbs Down for a variety of reasons, but chief among them are: Potty mouth Absence or weakness of citations Intentional leading of threads off-topic as a diversion when "losing" Inability or unwillingness to evaluate new facts presented by others Well, the list could go on and on. LOL. Why did you leave out "not worshiping feminism and all it's religious dogma"? Anyway, it says volumes that you are up there with Suitieday, Wafflez, DrWas and the other rancid SJWs who would follow me around and proudly down vote me for filling porn requests or helping people in the support section. I used to fill a lot of porn requests too!  I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

That is some serious mental gymnastics to justify Marion Barry and Susan B Anthony being praised, while others are demonized.

Just looked and only the main and the "ghetto" accounts were used to attack me. The 3rd account was used to post rubbish in other parts of the forums.

@raphjd: The problem is, the identity politics is coming from one side; the LEFT. It would be "racist" if it was the other way around, but of course the left never, ever believe that whites can be the victim of racism even when it clearly meets the made up definition leftists used so that only whites could be racists.  The same goes for sexism. Imagine the shit storm if it was 3 white men and a VOC, "at the eleventh hour", decided to run and people started to tell her she couldn't run because she isn't white and has a vag.      If it was reversed, it would be international news, not just local news that happened to make it to YouTube. Don Lemon and Simone Sanders would be screaming "OH HELL FUCKING NO!!!  CRACKERS NEED TO FUCKING DIE!!!!   WE TOLD YOU ALL HONKEYS ARE RACISTS!!!". Here's the thing, R: We agree. Flozen even agreed that this particular case seeped in identity politics but instead of standing on that firm ground you both got into a fight. Not cool! About this particular case there are two things going on. Identity politics and 2) the man is legit less qualified. If you're going to maintain that he x, y, or z because he's a white guy, then you're playing identity politics, now. The conversation could have moved in a direction to find more common ground or to look for solutions but things here quickly degenerate into name-calling and fisty cuffs. As an Admin you should be setting the standard so that conversations flow. This is why I'm pissed with you but ignore Fred (most of the time). Most of my friends hold views I disagree with – Christians, Muslims, SJW's of some flavor, real racists -- and I get along fine because I listen and talk. There needs to be more of that here.

Let's ignore this specific tax plan for a minute. The headline and mantra of the article are common place regardless political party and/or leanings. In the UK, under labour, taxes went up and when people struggled to pay their bills because wages were stagnant, while taxes and inflation skyrocketed.  Gordon Brown (the then tax man) told the nation to put their bills on their credit cards.

We pretty much had this conversation, with different specifics, several times before. I'm gonna paraphrase RoyalCrown89;  "while I get what he's doing and agree to some degree, he should be a stoic figure and let others do the dirty work". That's not the person who was elected. People tried to change the way Jimmy Carter spoke because his accent was deemed by some as too "hillbilly" to be President.

The UK doesn't have free speech like the US does.    "Causing offense" is a crime in most of Europe. I don't get why the left would even be talking about this case, since they only support free speech they agree with.    You guys protest pro free speech rallies in the US.

Of course CNN is going to race-bait the issue, that's all they do.

I would say it's more common for women to say "I was gonna kill myself in front of him, but the gun accidentally went off until it emptied in his head, and I ended up having to reload 40+ times and it still kept accidentally going off into his body.  BUT, see this almost invisible scratch, that proves I tried to commit suicide." Women, now matter how feminist they are, they always aim for the pussy pass when it court. I haven't verified it, but from many accounts, Smugglypuff didn't go to court as a trans-male but as a girl for attacking that retired couple who were simply walking their dog. Karla Faye Tucker told the police she orgasmed every time she buried the pickax in her ex-boyfriends back.  When it came to actually execute her, she was just an innocent little girl who let things get out of hand.  of course, feminists and feminist groups came to try to help her no be executed, because somehow not executing women is "gender equality" in the feminist mindset.

@Mcjl: From what I understand a contract is a contract and X amount sets the terms of such contract.  I do know someone in the industry and when he went on his own. He HAD to pay out the remaining degrees of said contract. That is technically correct.. but there are major exceptions.  If it turns out the contract contains any stipulations that are not legal, then the entire contract is void.  For instance, there is a 24/7 streaming live webcam site similar to the "Big Brother" TV show.  The guys that live there are required to sign a contract that they will stay there for 6 months.  If they leave early, they have to pay $500.  If they don't leave on time, they are charged $50 per day.  However.. the contract is not legal even though it was drawn up by a lawyer.  Therefore it is unenforceable. Another example:  if someone signed a contract that stipulated they would sell someone their heart for $1 million.  That contract would also be void. In any contract involving porn, just try and enforce it.  A judge would throw it out of court.  That includes copyright issues.

Yesss

it's pathetic that feminists will get butthurt about man-spreading, which isn't a gendered thing if you look on line, but they don't cry about the abuse women in muslim countries face. Nor will feminists campaign to end the gender sentencing gap in the west. Linda "the Cockroach" Sarsour says that women should have FGM and any woman who disagrees with her should have their vagina taken away, is praised by feminists.

If my Congresswoman Shiela Jackson-Lee would stop all the race baiting bullshit, then she would be great. Many, many moons ago her office helped me out with a problem I was having.  I bought a car from GM and financed it through GMAC, with their insurance too.  My mom worked for GM as a car designer, then and at the time as a designer of "personal mobility items" so she she could stay in our hometown and only travel twice a year, not the countless times as a car designer.  So I got a huge discount. Anyway, I was in a wreck that wasn't my fault.  There was a wreck in the intersection that I stopped for, but got rear-ended and pushed into the wreck ahead.  Anyway, GMAC wanted me to keep paying my car payments, but didn't want to pay out on the wreck and medical bills until everything was sorted with the other insurance companies, and even then they wanted to wait until 6 months after that. I had bill collectors coming after me, including GMAC.  I took GMAC to court and won.  The judge ordered them to pay up and clear my credit report.  They did.  Then they snuck it back on.  We we went to buy our house in Houston, I found out.  I tried to get it removed, but the credit agencies wouldn't remove it, without GMAC OKing it.    They refused.  So I went to SJL's office and within an hour it was removed forever from my credit reports.
