The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
The last thread ended about as they all do.
I challenge us to make it thru at least 2 pages without anyone personality insulting someone else here. See if we can actually talk about policy. Article from the Cato Institute: Why’s Washington Spending So Much Money? Blame a Faulty Understanding of ‘Rights’ https://www.cato.org/commentary/whys...tanding-rights "Not since 2001 has Congress balanced the federal budget — and it’s getting worse." 20 years with no federal budget? That's just insane.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
Being serious for a moment here, I have a real choice to make. Do I come in here polite and attempt to help start this thread with a fresh outlook, or do I call out that dogshit article that can be summed up in one sentence: "Poor and lazy people need to stop sucking on the gov't tit and work harder to achieve their goals."
Help me decide SD. PS. I agree the budget should be balanced.

My main focus of that article was seeing we haven't had a budget in 20 years now. Basically our government has quit doing a major part of their jobs. To add - There are many more reasons why our debt is so high, that the author of that commentary left out, i.e. endless wars, etc.

Note - I didn't think you were attacking me here. I just meant that in general about any article posted here. At least 1 of us will likely always disagree with anything posted here. We can disagree with a post, article, etc., and have some civility.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
US doing a diplomatic boycott of Olympics yawn. Not really making a sacrifice for our convictions are we? I would have instead been completely happy with a full boycott ( we know that wouldn't happen because of all those bidnesses and their commercials). I would have also loved us to send an entirely muslim/humanitarian diplomatic contingent. Missed opportunity imo.

I'm never using giphy.com again. It works on my post, but then you replied to it, and it says image not available. Da fuq??

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
You guys know what really makes me angry? When 3rd party content creators try to restrict how or when their content shows up on other websites. Arggghhhhh, just makes me want to bash their heads in with my louisville slugger.
