  DaCheech:

  All Social programs are wrong and should be scrapped. The government should have no role in retirement, healthcare or education. All of these things should be 100% private enterprise. It is not my responsibility to take care of your mother and it is not your responsibility to take care of my mother.

  It is a shame that the Republicans are not dismantling Social Security. If they were I would switch parties and become a Republican in a heartbeat. Republicans believe the same baloney as Democrats. They both mistakenly think that the purpose of government is to help people do what they cannot do themselves. The only difference between the two parties is how much taxpayer money is given to whom.

  The only proper function of government is to provide a military, courts and police. Anything else is wrong no matter how good or noble the objective.

  What's this thing about guys not wanting to neuter/spay their pets?

  by TresHappy in

  according to yesterday's (may 1) article in parade magazine, one of the main causes of dogs biting is a male that's not neutered.

  we have a beautiful golden retriever that is about 10 months old.

  sometimes he's out of control and i want to neuter the dog but my husband has steadfastly refused.

  I could never nueter any of my male dogs. I would feel that I was nuetering myself.

  Last year I went to New Hampshire to look for a job. I raised a few eyebrows by saying,"y'all" and "howdy"

  I find it very funny that Mexicans would be so concerned about accents. It is not as if they speak perfect Castillian Spanish.

  I have heard that Argentines speak Spanish with an Italian accent.

  Personality Wise----Are You THAT Much Different Since Leaving The "Truth"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw

  i believe that most people are what they are----whether they were jws or are exes.

  for example, if you were a basically happy go lucky person in the hall, you probably have that same nature now.

  conversely, if you were accused of always complaining and being miserable then, you probably still bitch and moan now.

  I am the same person, but I no longer look over my shoulder for fear of "stumbling" anyone and I no longer sacrifice myself for others.

  1. watchtower

  Since the Bible is a book of fairytales it should be no surprise that fiction should replace it.

  I would throw out all Christian and Jewish scriptures replacing them with four novels by Ayn Rand
  

  Atlas Shrugged, The Foutainhead, We the Living and Anthem.

  jula71:

  When people start receiving Social Security checks they get back every penny they have paid in with interest in about three years. Every check after that is welfare. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. If a private citizen tried to set up a similar system he would be sent to prison for fraud. The Democrats and Republicans have been defrauding the American people since 1935.

  i knew a man named jesus, and i am not talking about jesus christ, this man was a jw from spain, and he was named jesus, apparently jesus is very common in the spanish language, but when i first meet him and he told me his name i freaked out and i had such a laugh, i couldn?t help but think of the funny situations that can come with it.

  so i saw him once at the district convention, and i walked up to him and said in a load voice ... ".jesus!

  Not only is Jesus a very popular name among Spanish speaking people, but an entire country has named itself after Jesus.

  El Salvador is Spanish for, the Saviour.

  frankiespeakin:

  You do have a personal philosophy, but like most people you do not recognize it as such.

  If you have a sense of your place in the world, an understanding that somethings are right and other things are wrong then you are living according to your personal philosophy.

  To hell with the poor, the middle class and the rich who think they are entitled to checks from the government.

  The only proper function of government is to protect citizens from force or fraud. Outside of the military for national protection and a police and court system for internal protection the government should butt out of everything, especially education, healthcare and retirement.

  If people do not provide for themselves, tough sh....
