Its rememberance day next week so I always wear a poppy. Leaned over to break up a fight and it turned around and the pin got stuck in my left boob. crappy part was I couldent see what angle it was at so I had to keep pulling different directions till I got the one that let me pull it out. I like to think Im tough but that flipping hurt.

[erinlee01]

I can't believe the booby radar didn't go off!

morning peeps

[RebeccaG]

When people ask, "When, exactly, did the rant die?"

I shall point them in this direction.


On an even sadder note, it is disgusting to see how quickly some christians can become racist, intolerant and ignorant the moment they don't get their way.


And the Quickie Mart guy has started standing outside waiting for us in the morning. So beyond ridiculous, I don't have words.

[ElClipo]

That is sad indeed. I am a christian and I see this all the time...

[PLANETGETLOW]

Go Clinton!!

Hillary should've ran........

[HARRYBEAST]

Some dumb ass yesterday told me "Obama is ruining our country with Obamacare, if he gets re-elected I am moving to Canada" I quickly pointed out that moving to Canada was not the best move to avoid social medicine

[RebeccaG]

I feel bad for the Christians who DON'T behave that way. They make ya'll look really, really bad.

Go Clinton!!

thirdeded.

HA! I've been hearing this CONSTANTLY. So many Republicans vowing to "escape to Canada" if Obama is reelected.

Yes, because moving to a country with gay marriage, pro-choice and public healthcare is the best move for you.



ETA: Colorado? Right on! Right on! Right on!

I hear this daily here at the office. Moving to Canada, or Spain, or France. All of which have social medicine.

I bet Donald Trump is mad

Just a little bit.

There is a big difference between those healthcare systems and Obamacare.

That said, I think the Canadian healthcare system would be an example of what will go wrong here, too. Canadians pay close to 50% in taxes compared to 25% here in the US and the system is going broke. Imagine what's going to happen here.

I'm sure all those people who think Obamacare is the greatest thing since sliced bread will fully support the tax increase and increased insurance premiums needed to support this wonderful system, too.

Don't whine to us its all you northerners putting Obama in

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him (either time)! FWIW, I didn't vote for Romney, either.

We (Ryan) pays about 25-30% in taxes.

I've never paid more than that.

[HARRYBEAST]

I was just playing. I don't care who votes for who. I think its annoying when people do that. The majority of the country picked Obama so he is our president. To me that's it. I hope he does amazing things.

[erinlee01]

Consider yourselves lucky. Every stat I've read shows the total tax burden of Canadians at about 40%.

Edit - Not arguing, just stating where my statement come from. I fully believe that people living in a country know more, for the most part, than people who don't.

Regardless, the Canadian healthcare system is going broke. Which is exactly what will happen here. The average person doesn't realize how much more this is going to cost them, personally.

I agree, for the most part. When I talk to someone who had clear reasons for voting one way or another, I think it's great that they've educated themselves enough to make a decision. What bothers me about most people is that they have no clear cut reason. Other than "hope" and "change". What does that even mean? It's a shame that more people don't try and actually educate themselves on the topics rather than listen to the lies on the TV (from both sides).

My hope is that, even though we all have different ideologies and beliefs, is that we all work together to get this nation on track.

That may be an average. I know the more you make, the more taxes you pay. Though Ryan makes 6 figures (low end, but 6 nonetheless) and he still pays about 30% - and that's with extra money taken off each cheque at our request.

I believe our system is going broke because of misuse and mismanagement of funds, not because of a lack of funds. Misuse is partly a problem that comes with a 'free' system but mismanagement is not.

I don't see that happening. Most people just repeat their party line without really thinking about it. That's what I was getting at when I said they should educate themselves more.

Given all the racial slurs I've seen over this and last election, Magic 8 ball says "Outlook not so good."

The weirdest thing is that these are the people who want to comment/complain the most.

the Healthcare guy I was talking about before has also told me before that "Obama is going to let the Mexicans take over our country"

Unfortunately, I would have to agree... I find it interesting to see how the map was divided. interesting

I think his plans to move all of Kenya into Texas will take priority over the Mexicans.

We'll have the same management issues. The US government is not known for being efficient!

Obamacare has already been shown that it can't be sustained financially and in fact will cost much more than projected. It's a train wreck waiting to happen. I'm all for health care reform, but this plan does little to reform the system itself.

lol - that is exactly what I'm talking about. It's ridiculous! I may not like Obama, but let's be honest, things won't change THAT much. The sky will not fall, and the Mexicans will not be taking us over.
