Lakshmi.Sparthosx said: »There's another side to the whole welfare system that KN brought up: There stigma of people being on welfare or government assistance, despite many only using it for as long as necessary. The number of people who are on welfare is staggering on it's own, but the fact that people are looked down upon as welfare queens as a general second class citizen only makes it worse. Most people who go on welfare wait until the last second as a last resort.
There are stigmas for everything. There is a point where you need to pull up your big boy / big girl pants and do what is best for you. If it makes you feel any better, most people are floating their lifestyles on credit cards and other means of 'i dont have the money' diets.
The rich ruthlessly exploit loopholes, so why shouldn't you? Pride is one of those seven deadly sins for a *** ton of reasons.Fixed the last part.

Then we don't really have a country.
Then I'm sure it will sicken you to know that I would hope the goal of the world is to eventually have no countries. NWO anyone?

Reminds me of this 'meh' solo song from Serj.
I'm going to one-up you, mostly because I think this song says something similar but is far more fun because...what isn't fun about Gogol Bordello?

Everyone in the world doesn't want to come to America.
Ease the throttle up on the nationalistic ego there.

One World Order. So we can then act like total bigots to the people who colonize and propagate on Mars, or if you've ever seen Martian Successor Nadesico... JOVIAN LIZARDS FROM JUPITER!

What people do want to avoid is a war torn hellhole or a country so paralyzed by corruption and drugs due to failed policies.
Migrant workers were fine with coming to 'Murica, doing some work no 'Murican would do then going back home in the off season. Syria is a complete shitshow right now and you'd probably be fleeing too if ISIS was blowing up your nations history.
I ain't no ME scholar, but I'm sure alot of those people aren't thrilled to be taking a skiff across the Med.

Are we still repeating the lie that illegal immigrants are doing jobs that no American would do?
The fact is they are doing jobs that no American would do for 5 dollars a week.
Millions of Americans work very hard everyday doing jobs that no hipster would do because they are beneath them. They just don't do it for slave wages.
Just like they were back in the day, the Democrats are the party supporting modern slavery.

Where did he mention jobs at all?
He mentioned people fleeing countries that are utter shitholes because of drug cartels and rampant government corruption.
The joke is on the ones fleeing here though, because while they may see an improvement, we've got the same thing. It's just that our drug cartels are publically traded companies with names like Pfizer and Bayer, and our corruption has been constitutionally defended by the SCOTUS.

MODERN SLAVERY
DEMOCRATS
HIPSTERS

Also, oddly, maybe Pittsburgh hipsters are just more blue collar than others, but I see plenty of hipsters working shitty jobs. Menial or otherwise.

Having one is fulfilling a biological itch.
Any more is extravagance and vanity. That or obeying some misguided religious mandate.
That... is one of the stupidest things I've heard all week.

The day Politics and Religion graced your eyes, it was the stupidest day of your week.
But for me? It was Wednesday.

Maybe just everyday is the worst day so it doesn't matter what day it is.
Well, between that and your Snoopy avatar, how depressing!
We gotta liven things up in here.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
