Quit whining. Most of the money to foreign countries has a purpose behind it of bringing it into the US sphere of influence. If you do not keep up with geo-politics your criticism is hardly worthwhile.
The arts and history are very important.
So is the environment.
It's irritating to see people make snide comments like these and others seem to pick up on them mindlessly without looking at the complex world around them and trying to gain the tools to understand it.

Thank you. I'm not the sharpest pencil in the cup, (or the brightest bulb in the chandelier - for some reason I like these analogies), but I'm endlessly annoyed how people will treat a complex problem with the cheapest, dumbest A leads to B explanation. And sadly, the more I'm exposed to complete lack of thoughtful, sober argument, the more I get off my own rails. Shouting "Quit Lying ! Quit making Shit up !" doesn't seem like an adequate response, but I'm so exasperated at this point I don't know what else to do.

> but I'm so exasperated at this point I don't know what else to do.

when you figure it out, let me know.

Thanks for the equal opportunity insult.

We certainly don't need any more Lefties here polluting the place, right?
The rumpers will be more than happy to see me flee. Oh well ....

Why do you hate people that need to feed their families?

[–] brux (14666) 3 years ago

Why do you hate making actual statements of fact and instead go for attacking what you say people said? I suppose it is because you have no real argument and nothing truthful to say.

Sucks when your tactics get used back on you doesn't it?

Don't you get it...elect the establishment, everyone loses. That's what Joe Biden brings back to the US. Endless political corruption, blood for oil wars, pay for play...and now re-distribution of our (non-existant)wealth. People are starving with no salvation in sight, and you're protecting gender studies for pakistan? Get fucked bro. I'm sick of bullshit that spews from you and those like you.

Anyone that actually supports this BS bill has got to be a shill....no one but the political zombies in office stand to gain anything from this.

> Sucks when your tactics get used back on you doesn't it?

I suppose but that's irrelevant to this exchange as well. I guess it has never occurred to you that anyone that rises to the point where they get enough money to run and get nominated and elected is part of the establishment. What do you think Trump is. So there is a good part of the establishment and the bad part of the establishment ... the deep state and the swamp. It's mostly the Republican party because they have the mot forceful economic discipline. You don't tow the line and you get primaried or no money for re-election.

You don't know what Biden will go, but I am sure you give him the Obama treatment the whole way through his term without thinking about it. You are messed up in the head and cannot think straight.

exactly what we need:
US sphere of influence to continue growing

[–] brux (14666) 3 years ago

Stimulus packages around the world:
- UK: 80% of workers' salaries
- Denmark: 75% of workers' salaries
- South Korea: 70% of workers' salaries
- Netherlands: 90% of workers' salaries
- Canada: $2k per month
- Australia: $1k per month

US: One time $1200 check that may take months to arrive

[–] B1cKsurN (14644) 3 years ago

So which is it...you agree, or quit "whining?"

Pick one.

[–] brux (14666) 3 years ago

I agree with what I said, but all the stuff you put up there is irrelevant.

[–] B1cKsurN (14644) 3 years ago

There's no way you're not a shill. Be like DoggieDaddy and delete your account.

You don't seem to know what a shill is.
