First Official GOP President Announcement

Like I said.

"Genocide opportunist" is not a pretty label.

But when I have to weigh that vs. what is best -- or, least, what I think seems best -- for the majority of people in the country?

Ugh.

I *** hate that Hillary is the leading left candidate. I really want a better candidate overall. If there were a fiscally conservative candidate who wanted to keep our current systems in place, but have them administered in a more conservative fashion? I'd be all for that.

Keeping disability and social security, but tightening restrictions on who qualifies? I'm in!

Keeping food stamps and welfare programs funded, but capping numbers and incentivizing doing real work? I'm in!

Cutting federal programs and discouraging states from funding these programs? Not...on board as much.

There needs to be a balance.

oooh Ramyrez does some top secret G6 stuff apparently

No, but I do work in a public health capacity (as I've admittedly before on this forum), and I don't like to say much more than that. It's really nothing special. I wish it were.

Sorry. If anything staying quieter on the topic makes it seem more awesome than it is.

You act like that is not what will happen if Ted Cruz or Rand Paul actually get elected.

I trust them both that they want to repeal, but it will not happen. They will end up meeting in the middle and instead of repealing stuff, it will be reforms. For medicare/medicaid, food stamps, just raise the requirements and lower the output.

For Social Security that ***needs to be utterly and completely removed with a grandfather clause.. Like say anyone born 1975 or earlier? is eligible to receive it. If born later, no Social Security for you. Most people my generation expect it to be bankrupt anyway, so what is the difference?

Don't lie, you are totally g6!

I wouldn't say ambiguity makes it sound cool. It makes it sound like your employer wouldn't appreciate you talking about it on a public video game forum, which I think most employers would be in agreement on.

I had NDA's and morals clauses for the first several years after college. My friends would ask what I did, I could only tell them I was involved in testing pre-production cars. Which sounds like I'm out there spinning doughnuts in the latest sports car, but it was mostly taking temperature and noise readings and sitting there listening to engineers talk about heat soak and metal fatigue.

Sounds like a fun time.

That song is still good in 2015 !

I can't complain, it was a fun job, but it sounded a lot cooler than it was.

When I was in college I was day dreaming about not being in college.

Sorta like work. You just pretend you aren't working.

Then, 6 months after you graduate, you're begging to go back to the days when the hardest thing you had to do was study for a final in your busy drinking schedule.

I drink more beer now than I ever did in college...I never once said damn I can't wait to read about Mesopotamia etc.

byzantine or go home

I honestly don't remember anything about that History class expect Mesopotamia !

Plus taking notes for 40 minutes is not learning...

I never understood people who took notes all the time.

Sure once in awhile it was important to write something down, or if there was a problem you were stuck on, write down how to solve those kinds of problems. But every class writing down everything?!

Why? Made no sense.

Well this teacher actually wanted us to take notes. I personally didn't see the point.

Fixed.

Depends on the class, only class i have ever(so far) really took complete notes for is my intro to philosophy class. Any professor who provides study guides for there exams means you don't need notes, at least that is how i work.

decades? man i am a full decade behind on that power curve..

I am just STARTING my college experience and I am 30 yrs old...

I just recorded the class with a dictaphone. It was surprisingly handy to have when disputing something on a test.

...which is why in the end I won't go full Chicken Little even if an uber-conservative guy gets elected.

We got through eight years of Bush II without falling apart. We can handle whatever else too; it just might not be fun.

As for Social Security, you can blame that one squarely on Mr. Reagan. The government should have never, ever, *** ever been allowed to take money from Social Security for other things.

It set the stage for every other problem with Social Security that has come up since.

One of things I heard was, I took all these notes, wrote down everything the professor said, I don't understand why I failed?

Maybe because you spent the whole time trying to write down everything when it's in the book.

Read the lesson before class, go to class, listen what they say, and if something sounds interesting or worthy of noting write it down.

"This isn't in the book, you might want to write it down." Listen, then write it down.

Honestly? You're better off. You'll take it more seriously, be more focused, and finish sooner.

I agree I don't think I was ready for college right out of high school.

I saw a few people do this, eh...

I'm like a sponge when it comes to learning. I just soak it up, then try to apply it somehow. Testing comes much later.

Most of my notes from college were doodles.

Sometimes the doodles would remind me of something important the professor said while I drawing them, lol.

My problem is that I chose to sit next to the most attractive women in the class...probably not the best idea if you want to pay attention.

Once upon a time, I sure don't retain information the way I used to...

If you were able to get her to explain it to you, that might have worked.

For as much as people *** about high school it wasn't that bad. Not the best time of my life necessarily but pretty damn close.

I thought Rand Paul's speech today wasn't bad. I mean I don't know if I would vote for him but he is a hell of a lot better than Hillary...
