« on: 2016-02-11 22:39:35 »I'd like to first give my credentials for not being young and for having definitely been exposed to "real life".
The highest minimum wage (adjusted for inflation) was something like $8.50 an hour I think. So while 7.25 is on the low side, it's not too far off the norm. I think a lot of people demanding huge increases in minimum wage simply don't know how to live within their means (most likely due to a poor education/upbringing).
I don't understand the problem with businesses cutting lazy workers? Do you want income? Do you know you'll be fired for being lazy? Solution: quit being lazy.
It's not even a matter of not knowing how to live within your means sometimes. Let's say I work at minimum wage in NJ, where I live, which is $8.38. and say I work 40 hours a week, every week of the year. This gives me a grand total of $17,430.40 before taxes. Where I live, you're lucky if you can get a single bedroom apartment for less than $1,200 a month. That alone comes to $14,400. This leaves you with $3,030.40 for food, utilities (if they're not included in your rent), transportation, and other necessities (such as toilet paper) for the entire year. This is without even factoring in taxes. It is literally impossible to support yourself on minimum wage here, and I'm sorry, but there is absolutely no reason that any person in this country should not be able to support at the very least, themselves, on minimum wage.

There is a TON of corruption in politics. That's basically Sanders slogan. No one else up there is preaching about the rich getting richer by pushing their agendas in Congress.
I'm not trying to straw man your argument, but I think you're linking money with happiness saying people will never become wildly rich and successful. Recent studies have shown that people who make around 60k are the happiest. I would argue that being happy in life is far more important than making millions.
This is part of what makes Sanders such a great candidate. He's also very upfront in saying that he alone will not be able to change anything, he is but one man... but he can get the ball rolling, so to speak.

The problem with the Affordable Care Act is that it was originally crafted so that it could get through a corrupt Congress. It didn't work. So it had to be cut and cut and bastardized to the point that it's barely helpful at all. That's why it's not some great magical healthcare reform. It can't be. There's too much corruption for something like that to happen. But there's hope. One candidate is running on a platform to battle all that corruption.
As far as everyone having healthcare, the US is arguably one of the most powerful and influential countries in the world. Why in the hell can't we take care of our own citizens? Yes everyone will die, but if you get a bad cut on your leg, and don't go to the hospital because of lack of insurance/healthcare, it gets infected and you die because you couldn't afford it, there's something wrong there. We aren't some third world country. We need to realize that the extremely rich are taking advantage of the system and us, and put a stop to it. We need to quit putting a ferning price on everything. A man shouldn't have to choose between feeding his family or getting his bad hip replaced so he can continue to work/live.
Let's not also forget that the original Affordable Care Act was written by republicans. However, the Republican party's distaste for Obama was so great, they essentially forced him to gut the bill, and fill it with crap that changed nearly nothing in the health care system of the United States, which I'm sorry to say, is a very poor model of health care. Health care shouldn't be reserved for the wealthy and the wealthy alone. It's something we all need, and something we can absolutely make a reality; but not if the right wing has anything to say about it.

As for Trump, I like to think that the President should represent the best of us. That isn't Trump. Trump is an expression of our anger at the system. Yes things need to change, but Jesus Christ, if Trump gets elected that's just one more step (leap) towards Idiocracy
Trump is.... I don't even want to get started on Trump, so I won't.

1) Bernie may be old; but he is in pretty damn good health, especially considering his age
2) The problem even if we do manage to get him elected, is not whether or not he will get down to business, but whether or not he CAN get down to business. Same thing happened with Obama; the Republicans stonewalled him every chance they got, in the hopes that he'd be viewed as a failure and become a one-term president. That only half-worked, he's viewed as a failure, and I feel that's a bit unjust. It's not that he didn't bring change, it's more that he couldn't. Unfortunately, people view them both as the same thing.

« on: 2016-02-10 01:15:30 »I see the question as ironically pointless.
Namely, I am not judging candidates based on their verbal appearance, education, passion or charisma - and if you remove that, there is basically no difference, thus no choice.
You could always judge candidates based on their historical stances on key issues. When it comes down to that, Sanders is quite different from all the other candidates, and then becomes the obvious choice.

It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up! magazine
Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin' pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
Smoking weed on Bambu, sipping on Private Stock
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski (wassup)
I'm blowing up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood (that's right)
It's all good (it's all good)
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga

I'm not dumb to understand how your black chocobo stuff works! Can you please be a more useful help to my problem? I just want some answers to my question not... something Cpt. obvious would tell me... PLEASE
No; the only way to figure it out is trial an error. Also, you're acting out of line. Your last post had -NOTHING- to do with the key/seed. Why are you yelling at him about telling you how to change the affection points when they're what you asked about in the first place?

I know I'm late here; and I already said this, but I just need to reiterate. It's not so crazy, I saw it myself. Not via video, but by going "holy shit a plane just flew into that building, what the fuck.... holy shit it happened again, the fuck is going on" Planes hit the tower, I can assure you of this. If you don't believe me, at least believe Covarr who can vouch for me that I saw it.
