Prowler would buy more pot. It would be for  medicinal purposes, of course.

He sounds more like a glue sniffer or paint huffer than a pot head. A pot head has some sense about them.

Can I get little for my cataracts?

I feel a case of the glaucomas comin on.

Breaking news:

Man robs Domino's Pizza, man was stoned.

[The Prowler]

You are stupid. Companies avoid paying taxes by pumping that money back into society. I know since that money isn't going to the government you think it's a loophole. But it was allowed that way for a reason. Money in society is worth way more than in the government's hands!

Pumping money back into the community...LMAO, you are fuckin retarded if you think those companies that hand out Millions in bonuses and keep their money in offshore accounts, not to mention buying up smaller business and destroy them (jobs lost), send their jobs overseas (jobs lost) then have the gal to ask for money so they can create jobs...are putting money back into the community.

I'm guessing you think Trump got where he is today by building his buildings with good American workers (illegal immigrants), built his money off the back of honest business (borrowed money from banks, then claimed bankruptcy on the businesses to keep from paying back his loans, he still owes hundreds of Millions. In fact only one bank in the World will do business with him...not to mention the millions that he stole from investors), but hey keep thinking he'll be a great President. He has a "very good brain". Remember? He said so himself.

I'll give him credit, the poorly educated sure does love him, as evident in these pages.

[Pell City Tiger]

then have the gal to ask for money

Women and money, huh?

I'll give him credit, the poorly educated sure does love him, as evident in these pages.

I'm not sure you're doing your side any favors. You keep trying to launch a  grenade but always end up throwing the pin instead.

To be so poorly educated, some of us have done quite well for ourselves.

One thing for sure, we are not still looking for a tit to suckle from.

I guess I should have stayed in school as my profession. That seems to be where the really smart people are...

[The Six]

You keep trying to launch a  grenade but always end up throwing the pin instead.

Outstanding hustle

[Snaggletiger]

Cam Newton is now making $20.76 million a year for the next 5 years with $60 mil of that guaranteed and after a $22.5 mil signing bonus.  All for throwing passes and celebrating excessively. 

That greedy bastard needs to pay.  And pay and pay...

You would think more of your kind would like him then?

You're damn right he does. He needs to pay me back for that $100 bet I lost on the Super Bowl.

Quit your bitching. You still get to count that on your IRS extortion papers.

They sure does.

Does NOT!

What - get hundreds of millions in free advertising and filling up the 24/7 news cycle only to slam the one person (Megyn Kelly) who has the gall to actually ask objective and pertinent questions of him that voters may want to know the answers to?

I know right? Poor fella!

Millennials like socialism — until they get jobs

Each week, In Theory takes on a big idea in the news and explores it from a range of perspectives. This week, we’re talking about the rise of socialism.

Millennials are the only age group in America in which a majority views socialism favorably. A national Reason-Rupe survey found that 53 percent of Americans under 30 have a favorable view of socialism compared with less than a third of those over 30. Moreover, Gallup has found that an astounding 69 percent of millennials say they’d be willing to vote for a “socialist” candidate for president — among their parents’ generation, only a third would do so. Indeed, national polls and exit polls reveal about 70 to 80 percent of young Democrats are casting their ballots for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who calls himself a “democratic socialist.”

Yet millennials tend to reject the actual definition of socialism — government ownership of the means of production, or government running businesses. Only 32 percent of millennials favor “an economy managed by the government,” while, similar to older generations, 64 percent prefer a free-market economy. And as millennials age and begin to earn more, their socialistic ideals seem to slip away.

So what does socialism actually mean to millennials? Scandinavia. Even though countries such as Denmark aren’t socialist states (as the Danish prime minster has taken great pains to emphasize) and Denmark itself outranks the United States on a number of economic freedom measures such as less business regulation and lower corporate tax rates, young people like that country’s expanded social welfare programs.

Coming of age during the Great Recession, millennials aren’t sure if free markets are sufficient to drive income mobility and thus many are comfortable with government helping to provide for people’s needs. Indeed, a Reason-Rupe study found that 69 percent of millennials favor a government guarantee for health insurance and 54 percent support a guarantee for a college education. Perhaps most striking is that millennials favor a bigger government that provides more services — 52 percent of them do, compared with 38 percent of the nation overall.

So, will it last? Are millennials ushering in a sea change of public opinion? Do they signal the transformation of the United States into a Scandinavian social democracy?

It depends. There is some evidence that this generation’s views on activist government will stick. However, there is more reason to expect that support for their Scandinavian version of socialism may wither as they age, make more money and pay more in taxes.

The expanded social welfare state Sanders thinks the United States should adopt requires everyday people to pay considerably more in taxes. Yet millennials become averse to social welfare spending if they foot the bill. As they reach the threshold of earning $40,000 to $60,000 a year, the majority of millennials come to oppose income redistribution, including raising taxes to increase financial assistance to the poor.

Similarly, a Reason-Rupe poll found that while millennials still on their parents’ health-insurance policies supported the idea of paying higher premiums to help cover the uninsured (57 percent), support flipped among millennials paying for their own health insurance with 59 percent opposed to higher premiums.

When tax rates are not explicit, millennials say they’d prefer larger government offering more services (54 percent) to smaller government offering fewer services (43 percent). However when larger government offering more services is described as requiring high taxes, support flips and 57 percent of millennials opt for smaller government with fewer services and low taxes, while 41 percent prefer large government.

Millennials wouldn’t be the first generation to flip-flop. In the 1980s, the same share (52 percent) of baby boomers also supported bigger government, and so did Generation Xers (53 percent) in the 1990s. Yet, both baby boomers and Gen Xers grew more skeptical of government over time and by about the same magnitude. Today, only 25 percent of boomers and 37 percent of Gen Xers continue to favor larger government.

Many conservatives bemoan millennials’ increased comfort with the idea of “socialism.” But conservatives aren’t recognizing that in the 20th-century battle between free enterprise and socialism, free enterprise already won. In contrast with the 1960s and ’70s, college students today are not debating whether we should adopt the Soviet or Maoist command-and-control regimes that devastated economies and killed millions. Instead, the debate today is about whether the social welfare model in Scandinavia (which is essentially a “beta-test,” because it hasn’t been around long) is sustainable and transferable.

Millennials like free markets, and most already accept that free markets have done more to lift the world out of poverty than any other system. Instead, what this generation has to decide is whether higher education and health-care innovation, access, and high quality can be best achieved through opening these sectors to more free-market reforms or though increased government control. This is a debate we should be glad to have.

The video was funny and the looko on Blitzer's face is priceless. I could give two shits about Megyn, although I would schlock her. Donald is the last chance we have to get our country back. None of the others, except Gary Johnson, would even attempt to protect our rights, reverse draconian laws and return us to a constitutional republic.

...I can continue, but I'm sure y'all get the point. ALL of these and more are due to Socialism.

Again, thank goodness for socialism.

You've mentioned this obvious cookie-cutter talking point I've seen ten thousand times on the Internet, so let's examine that shall we?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_socialism

The history of socialism has its origins in the French Revolution of 1789 and the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution, although it has precedents in earlier movements and ideas. The Communist Manifesto was written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848 just before the Revolutions of 1848 swept Europe, expressing what they termed 'scientific socialism'. In the last third of the 19th century in Europe social democratic parties arose in Europe drawing mainly from Marxism. The Australian Labor Party was the world's first elected socialist party when the party won the 1899 Queensland state election.

So socialism pretty much didn't exist until almost 1800 and didn't exist in practice until about 1900.

How many of those things in your list do you figure were invented before 1789, much less 1899?

Military - Earliest known documentation of military warfare was about 2700 BC between Sumer & Elam. Trojan War was about 1260 BC
Highways & roads - About 4000 BC in Mesopotamia & Babylon
Police & Fire Depts - History of ancient Chinese prefects date back to the Chu dynasty (about 1030BC) & organized modern police forces as far back as 1667 in Paris. There are records of firefighting machinery used in Ancient Egypt, including a water pump invented by Ctesibius (about 250 BC) & records of organized firefighting exist under Augustus of Rome (about 40 BC).
Public librarys - Date back to Briston, England in 1464. University libraries began popping up at the beginning of the 17th century (Bodelien in 1602, Norwich in 1608 for example).
Bridges - Date back pretty much as far as man, but the Arkadiko Bridge is the oldest one still standing today, which dates back to the Greek Bronze Age (about 1600BC)
US postal service - Dates back pretty much to the history of writing. The first organized courier service dates back to Egypt in about 2400BC. Public postal services as a government funded utility date back to the cursus publicus again created by Augustus of Rome in about 40 BC. The US postal service specifically still predates the earliest forms of socialism. Ben Franklin was the first Postmaster General in 1775.
CIA, FBI - The FBI dates back to 1908. Doubt the invention of socialism had much to do with it, other than to irradicate it as a threat to democracy.
IRS - Taxation dates back to 3000BC in Ancient Egypt. The US IRS formed in 1862 to raise funds for the Civil War. 14 years after the Communist Manifesto was written. Again, highly doubtful they are related.
EPA - Passed by Nixon on executive order. Hardly a socialist.
War - See "military".
Garbage collection - Organized municipal waste management dates back to 1751 London.
Public schools - Required Compulsory public education dates back to the Aztec Triple Alliance in 1428. In America, Boston Latin School, founded in 1635 still exists today.
Sewer System - Dates back to the Indus Valley Civilisation of South Asia around 2600 BC.
Court System - Law and civil code goes back to Ancient Egypt in 3000 BC. The Code of Hammurabi in 1760 BC was codified law inscribed in stone. Courts specifically date back to Corpus Juris Civilis in Ancient Rome around 530 BC.
The Polio Vaccine - Developed between 1936 & 1952 in the United States. Socialism had nothing to do with it.

I just wasted way too much time researching the wikis to get the exact dates and examples to point out just how retarded that overused tired argument is.
