And the hillarious thing is that these people think they actually have a mandate to do just that. They seriously think that people sent them to washington to default the country instead of creating jobs.

What's funny about that? That's really not all that funny.

Things are not looking good for Reid, Obama, and Boehner

Obama may beat the two...but its not a walk in the park either, since almost all of them are in the negatives.



The reason as to why they are in Washington is not to create jobs, or lead the country into default, the reason they are there is to make laws. Otherwise if the government gets into job creation you end up with a corporate government run by lawyers.

Sen. Kent Conrad: McConnell plans to filibuster Senate majority vote on Boehner plan. Will not allow up or down vote. Will not negotiate with Reid, only White House.

UPDATE: http://www.msnbc.msn...s-capitol_hill/

NOPE. NO FILIBUSTER. SENATE KILLS BOEHNER BILL. 59-41, we'll see what happens with Reid Bill All Indications are McConnell is still refusing to negotiate.

Yes because this is an entirely male issue.

Which brings me to another point in society...maybe we should legalize prostitution, and regulate it by implementing condom only laws to prevent the spread of diseases, allow prostitutes to carry guns, and allow the opening of brothels so they don't have to walk around in the middle of the night just so some psychopath cuts her off into little pieces. Which is also why i believe heroin should be legal, mostly because legal heroin will prevent the spread of HIV as regulation will demand for Heroin production to only use clean needles.

Same thing with Marijuana, and same thing with Cocaine, it will take the money from the criminals and into society, it will create jobs, and at the same time revive industrial United States, it is also the same reason why i no longer support the Obama administration, because he continues with the mistakes of the past, and instead of finding real solutions, he finds real problems to add to the bigger problems.

Err, no- it's everyone's problem. Changing everyone's mindset. The article points out how women are socialized to ignore the disturbing aspects too. We all must change. Sweden made a good first move to slowly change the mindset the right way, once you make that first step, then change can really start.

I know it's taken me years to become more aware on this issue due to the socialization everyone receives growing up- even having grown up in a time period where children and teenagers were not exposed to the extreme stuff kids are now, and when it was viewed slightly more negatively by our culture, and having grown up feminist and having a feminist mom at the height of the second wave of feminism. It's going to be even tougher for people who have been exposed to years of hard core pornography- both men and women. The more you see something the more "normal" it seems.

You do realize that in states where prostitution is legal and monitored that some women actually enjoy their jobs. The same with pornography. Calling the banhammer on something it isn't going to change anything, in fact it will make things worse just like America's attempt at Prohibition. And "normal" is a relative term to everyone. While I agree that there is certainly a strain on personal relationships nowadays, this is not necessarily the cause. Sex slavery is one thing. Prostitution (when legalized and carefully regulated) is another.

Obama = Chamberlain


I was just watching C-SPAN when they were interviewing the chairwoman of the Tea Party Express. Two things stood out to me.

"Let me preface this, I am not an expert on the economy"
"I am against raising taxes on the wealthy. The USA has a spending problem. Raising taxes is increasing spending. However, I agree with closing tax loopholes."

As a matter of fact, if you legalize something like that vice, you protect these women from deranged psychopaths. You open up the service to be more secure. For instances, the HBO series Cathouse, uses a camera to show what is going on, that camera serves a purpose as well, mostly just in case the guy is a sociopath, security can act and act fast.


@Codus Apple doesn't have a deficit in its budget. I'm richer than the govt, i don't have a deficit in my budget.

It's times like these we have to turn to something that can truly teach Americans about the Debt Ceiling.

I'm not a dietitian

I'm against people eating more vegetables. The US has a weight problem. Eating more vegetables makes you gain weight. However I agree with eating less fried food.


But I have this weird inkling that somehow one of the chambers won't pass the debt deal. I don't know why though.

You can put that inkling away, Obama has already signed the debt deal increase. Were probably going to talk about the same thing next year anyways.

Westburo plans to go to Norway

http://www.theatlant...t-church/40842/

Me thinks that will be hard due to government gridlock and the bureacracy mess that is acquiring a Passport!

And if they do go, Norwegian law different from American, you'd get 3 year prison sentence for what they're allowed to do here.
