not that bad?

he is the 1/3 of germans who stood by and watched as another third of germans killed the other third of germans.

Don’t you remember anything I have told you about me? you must realize how ignorant of a Jew you are being right now.

When I read that it is so far off I didn’t even realize you meant me.

And there is no German in my background. But we were there unfortunately.

You are now just truly ignorant. Even to your own family. Why do you hate real Jews?

You try to control this forum like one.
how is responding to messages on a pot forum calling me an "ignorant jew" or talking about how they "let the black go. or hispanic" in any way trying to control this forum?

we are just having intercourse. but you are not very good at it. your wife tells you the same all the time, i'm sure.

For-profit schools have a lot to answer for and the people in congress who back them should be burned at the stake.

Government backed student loans, if they are to be given out at all, should go only to state-run schools. Non-profit private schools should look for their money elsewhere too.
I went to a state school. I would like to see those loans restricted to certain majors as well. With many majors, we are just saddling kids with debt and leaving them worse off than they would have been foregoing college.

I get the difference between secure and unsecure debt. If the education sold to you actually lead to a decent job, or if you were at least warned/informed about the actual job placement rates for your major, there would be less to no harm done. My gripe is mostly with the institution that claimed 98-99% job placement (go check the actual stats from 2007-today) and with the accreditation of that institution to accept government back unsecure loans. From my perspective, it was a predatory loan because I was sold a lie.
I hear ya dude and I was told the same thing. job placement stats were available to me though through the college for that college, and I could look at them beforehand.

The job placement stats I looked at in my first two years turned out to be completely bogus. Out of their control was the job growth rate (and entry level pay) in the legal field which plummeted from 28% to 8% from my freshman to senior year. It has been long enough now I'm just writing it off as a $30k lesson learned and going to find whatever career path I can that offers upward mobility.

Some people sound like flat earthers when they discuss finances. They get it completely wrong and argue when somebody tries to explain reality to them.

"A dollar is debt"

No point in asking choomer what he means by that. Might as well ask reddan about the horizon line.
it's a note for a dollar....a note for a house similarly isn't a house.

Reading over what choomer and twostroke have been arguing, I think the issue is that they think US currency is backed by debt and therefore it is debt. They think that because they read that on a conspiracy forum somewhere. They think that since currency is no longer backed by gold, thanks Nixon, that it therefore must be backed by debt. And that the government at any time will take that away from you as deemed necessary.

They have it slightly correct that the US government could in fact come in at any time and take your monies. But it is VERY unlikely. Why? Because the US currency is backed by consumer confidence, as are most currencies, hence inflation and deflation. Otherwise we'd simply barter.

They are conflating confidence with debt. Which I suppose I can understand.

Even if we were to take their premise at face value, their problem lies with the fact that it is backed by debt, and not actually debt itself. Only a simpleton would think that.



lmao! haha, i literally laughed out loud..
when the bank orders fed notes for the vault, or for the computer, what prompts the order?

personally I'm not making a specie backed argument at present, i read the coinage act and the window closed, duh.

say that note in your pocket that you conflate as a dollar was born in the bailout, still not debt?

say it was created when some guy took out a loan for a car, still not debt?

I'm not making a jew conspiracy argument either, or any conspiracy.

but the note in your wallet isn't a dollar and is redeemable in lawful money.

that said, the constitution protects your right to contract outside of it and use any money system you want....

you have lots of options there but you can only pay taxes with one elastic fiat variety and that's the catch.

This actually illustrates the real problem with American politics; accountability.

We don't need 'more' government or 'less' government; we need BETTER government. That starts with full transparency and accountability.

Where this happens around the world one can clearly see the quality of the results.
All involuntary based government is essentially the same. They all feature automatic domain over subjects in a given geographic area which is already occupied by other people and threaten punishment to people who refuse to be subjected to their edicts, even if the person(s) rejecting their edicts is behaving in a neutral peaceable manner.

Can you deny ANY of that ?

As long as domination is the primary modus operandi, you can't get to "better government".

Just saying, when you emphasize how they let "the blacks" go, it's a tell about your real feelz. Also, sitting on the sidelines while nazis kill people isn't really being neutral.

Other than you having issues recognizing your racist leanings and that you tolerate Nazis killing people you aren't that bad.

You guys all sound like the same tape reel.

Mentioning that we were white and buying drugs from black guys only tells the facts. It doesn’t tell anything about me except that I was out of drugs.

And are you less on the sidelines than me while these psychopaths kill people?

"they let the blacks go"

I'm neutral when nazis are killing people.

LOL, the broken record is yours when you deny who you are.
