What is the VC community?

Weird...when I have been on some those platforms, and I didn't see any right-wing conspiracy b.s....saw a lot of wrestling clips, police videos, animal videos, and...well let's just say videos of beautiful "scenery". But you saying it's 100% dominated by right-wing conspiracy B.S. and misinformation isn't totally made up....

Yep...half of the country thinks this exact thing. Man, it is amazing how you know that 150+ million people think the exact same way on this very topic

Huh? I think I am missing something

What does that have to do with me wanting control over my money and who I give it to based on need? I agree we should pay taxes for roads, infrastructure, police, etc. Are you truly that simple minded that you can't separate different things?? And/or that people have different opinions?? I thought you and your type were the supporters of diversity of thought...or is it as long as it is thought that you already have??

You know that this is such an overblown stupid broad stroke of a comment, but yet you just couldn't help yourself from writing it. Google is your friend and it is very easy to see the big bad R's donate on average a lot more than the D's...oops

Totally fine if that is your opinion...what I don't' agree with is being forced to have that same opinion and having my money taken away from me and used on things I don't agree with. I personally want control over my money in terms of how I donate it and support others with it. I know we are not wolves, but I am also a believer that by holding people accountable for their actions will have a much higher success rate in terms of more people putting forth the effort to making a livable wage, rather than giving people free handouts with no expectations that they do in fact better themselves. Again, if you want to indiscriminately just give people free handouts without any expectations of them fine...just don't force me to do it as well.

Who cares the reason?!?! You are totally fine with giving money to someone who is not able to make ends meet because of choices they made and they choose not to better themselves?? If you are that is your choice but why would you force that onto other people? And I am not talking about the unforeseen and unfortunate things that happen in people's lives where they may find themselves in need of help...I have dealt with this personally...but it is friends, family, and community that come together and help....based on the friends, family and community's CHOICE to do so!

So....AGAIN....you think every person, no matter the situation they were born into, should be given resources (some may need more than others) so that they all start at an equal point in their life?? For what reason??

Again...why does person A make $75k and why does person B only make $25k?? Don't you think that THAT is the question we should be asking?? I wonder if you are conflating two different things here...children going hungry, and the reason some people make more money and have better jobs than others.

Does it ever get old playing the victim all the time?? Do you ever look at your own behavior that causes people to react the way they do towards you? By chance do you know what a narcissist is??

I'm not confusing anything...I think you are. I literally asked what the end goal was of the thought process of giving people "support" so that everyone starts at the same starting line? If you say it isn't so that people have equal outcomes than what is the reason?

Ummm...what?!?! You say she literally said the exact opposite than in the very next sentence you say she said exact what I wrote. If poor people need more support than rich people...why do they need that support other than to give them the same starting point as others who don't need said support?? Did you even read my post or just instantly jump into argue mode??

Why are one person's needs met by their own doing and the other person's needs are met by receiving something they didn't work for? Don't you think those are the questions that should be asked and answered?? That will truly get to the exact reason why there will never be true equality in this world. There will always be people that will be smarter and work harder than others, by choice. So no matter how they start, at equal spots or not, there are going to be people that have more than others based on work ethic, intelligence, drive, etc. Sorry...but there are people out there that are not willing to do the same work and put forth the same effort as others...and guess what...that is okay.

So UB, Kamala, and others, truly think every single person born, regardless of the situation they were born into, should be given the exact same resources and opportunities?? Seriously?!?! How crazy and asinine of thinking is that! If equity of outcome isn't the end goal of that thought process, what is the end goal??

And yet crickets from the likes of UB, RL/TPT and its other personalities.

Mic drop

LOL...what do you think the answer is?? By the way...Humas is still responsible for this war

Man you are exhausting...I am not in the argument about what is moral or not moral when it comes to abortion...I have repeatedly said that...abortion is WAY to much of a complicated subject that I choose to withhold my overall opinion on it as it could probably change hour by hour. You asked my why I choose the "line" of life starts at a heartbeat...period!

Lol...I totally agree...not sure why I choose to wade in it on this thread

Yes I do...because 99% of your opinions are completely crazy. I draw the line at heart beat as that is one of the critical biological functions of humans. The other reason I say it is the beating heart and not, let's say the brain, is because humans can still be alive even if their brain isn't functioning (I am not getting into a moral debate about being brain dead here)...people can not be alive if their heart is not beating. You can call it whatever you want...a line or arbitrary line all you want, it is the distinction I make when thinking of a human being a living thing. It has nothing to do a moral distinction of anything other then when I think life begins. So nice try but you can't twist/extrapolate/confuse it with making any sort of comment about abortion.

Please tell me that was just a bad attempt at humor!!!???

OMG...LOL!!!! You literally just did it when I ask you why you do it...how in the world did you come to the conclusion I am whining???

Hey dum dum...that is the moral argument...aka, when does life actually start....it is an argument that the scientific and medical field struggle with all the time. I personally think the fetus is a living thing once the heart starts beating...but that is my personal opinion based on my scientific training and education...again, it is not an indication of my stance on abortion but rather an opinion on the moral debate of when life actually starts.

So you just want to argue...got it. If you honestly think I, or anyone is saying that than you have the mental capability of a gnat.
