The weird thing is that the religious Republicans shouldn't be mad about this. This Bible says debts should be cancelled every 6th or 7th year.

As a former Soviet citizen you may be interested in this too. I've read a lot of people high up in the Soviet government and economic decision making made things deliberately worse to turn people against the Soviet economic model. Stuff would be taken out and destroyed just to create...

LOL. Be of good cheer. I don't work for the government.

It may be both. You see people who love to hurt people teaming up with people bitter about how their lives went. It may not have been their fault they didn't get what they wanted in life, there are only so many high paying jobs, only so many high rewarding investments one can make or are...

I work retail as manager of a shoe and clothing store. Believe me, the things you hear from the general public will make you have no faith in people. Stupidity rules, selfishness is the name of the game. Cheating and conning successfully is regarded as legitimate success and whoever can argue...

Look at the bright side folks. If the Russians nuke Anderson county to take out that big dam at Richland Chambers Lake to make a big flood, it will at least go south of me and I won't get flooded. Still have to worry about fallout coming south with the wind but at least i wont be flooded

I started a thread about why democracy is important: https://iidb.org/threads/why-is-democracy-so-great.28095/ It got me thinking about nobility, the bourgeoisie and its revolutions against the nobility, and the proletarian revolutions of the 19th and 20th centuries. I wanted some opinions...
