I get free money

[slim 1,523]

Unfortunately... it's real money.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Unfortunately... it's real money.

Real, and abundant.

[slim 1,523]

Real, and abundant.

Enjoy it while you can.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Hey, look at the bright side. At least it's not going to some third world country that hates us, like Venezuela.

Hey, look at the bright side. At least it's not going to some third world country that hates us, like Venezuela.

For me, that's not a bright side.

No. Time spent on P&R has cured me of morality.

I'm afraid that is an incurable disease. A good dose of justification can repress the symptoms.

self interest is an excellent palliative. Jealousy and envy bring it roaring to life

You can deny that it is there, but it is lingering just below the surface in the deniers

Most in fact sing it's praises while self medicating with heavy doses of justification and self interest

It becomes strongest and most dangerous in the presence of other's good fortune

It is an IOU, isn't it?

who owes who what?

I get your point. Your point is that people on welfare have all their needs met and then some and therefore they will not be willing to do anything to better themselves, no matter what opportunities would be offered to them.

I suggest you go to where those people live and inspect their houses to see how many flatscreens they got and compare what you have with what they have. You may find out that I did not miss your point so much as I found your point to be pointless - it is a delusion.

I think you are just mad that these people have their basic needs met and so they are not willing to go into slave work for peanuts.

Yes, having 5-6 kids improves the financial situation of a freeloader a bit, but taking care of 5-6 kids is two full time jobs in itself...

Way to completely miss the point.

Willfully ignorant it is then.

From Mike Montagne of

People for Mathematically Perfected Economy :

"Usury has existed for thousands of years, and may have been perpetuated by every worldly creed. Untold multitudes have died in the perpetual struggle against usury. Jesus Christ Himself was crucified soon after His famous demonstration at the temple of the money changers.

In a train of events that would eventually inspire the American colonies to revolution, a German-born embezzler, trained by his father in matters of money and trading that he could become a Rabbi, rose from a Jewish slum to become the present world's father of international bankers. He would change his name from Mayer Amschel Bauer to Mayer Amschel Rothschild.

Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his sons -- equally trained in unearned profit (usury) and its vital complements of corruption, subversion, and deceit -- would comprise the House of Rothschild, intervening upon production, consumer and government altogether, to amass, at the expense of everyone but the perpetrators, the greatest forfeitures of prosperity the world could know.

From roots steeped in ferocious concepts of unearned profit, from a very need to subvert every properly administered economy, and by allies who peddled mercenary armies for the causes of plutocracy, untold blood would be spilled, untold injustice would be imposed, and by perpetual deception, usury would succeed in perpetual contradictions to truth, as authored by a seeming untouchable, inexhaustible, evil force.

By the customary accumulations of usury, the House of Rothschild would gain prominent world power in little time. Rothschild, the voracious embezzler, would form the so-called Illuminati -- a pretended, exalted body of useful learning, the purpose of which, by whatever necessary means, were to make the world itself the subject of his unearned confiscations.

The people of every nation therefore would be made both the instruments and the objects of a predominate world power. Powerful nations overtaken by usury would serve to impose usury in every corner of the world. Every organization today which advocates government about a nucleus of 'central banking' is by intention a compliant servant of Rothschild's prescription for usurped power, confiscation of wealth, and the extinguishing of individuality, freedom and justice necessary to his graft.

No truly free nation could exist thereafter, because these central banks would so oppress every nation from the prosperity each would achieve otherwise, that a single nation free of usury would be an outstanding testament to the crime being committed against the rest. Such a truly free nation would threaten the very existence of every central bank and usurer.

For we need them not.

Because the goals of usurers can be perceived, and because the goals of usurers cannot prevail if one important nation succeeds in achieving true economy, the present quest for world government was begun for Rothschild's ends, at Rothschild's command. Look around you and you will see that the central, ostensibly beneficial concept of that quest, is entrenchment of Rothschild's purported 'economic' system.

In his own personal testimony to the implications of his objectives, as the American Colonists fought a revolution to throw off his first imposition of a central banking system on America, Rothschild declared arrogantly, 'Let me issue and control a nation's money, and I care not who writes its laws.'

Certainly not, because he would soon own every politician in the world. Thus, despite the social atrocity of debt multiplied to any magnitude, none of them who ostensibly serve their people would ever hear a plea for perfected economy.

The modern era of financial, political, social, commercial and military strife and subversion had begun.

Let's just say that it is apocryphal and leave it at that. Beats the heck out of reversing the onus.

It might be a crockfull but stay away from my onus. I don't even want to know how you would do something like that

Plato was a Republican? No wonder he shopped here:

It is LICE not LIX. jeeze

You don't want to know.

Are you going all serious on me, yet again?

[IR5FORMUMSIE 850]

As long as it's not black and tarry you should be OK. As for reversing the onus, it comes from prolapse of judgment.

It is LICE not LIX. jeeze

So you're saying that Republicans are parasites?

Let's see:

Section 8 housing.

Welfare check.

Medicaid.

So your housing is virtually paid for. Your healthcare is paid for and then you have disposable income on top of that? You feed your kids Mac&Cheese and Hot Dogs. Buy them $3 shirts and $7 pants at Wal-Mart here and there. Yup, I've seen it alright.

These people a lot of times have bigger flat screens than I have!!!
