Response to: 2014 US Midterms Thread Posted November 5th, 2014 in Politics

I ended up voting straight libertarian, and of course none of them won (as far as I know). I will never see myself voting Republican anytime soon, and I may vote Democrat, but I'm living in a red state, so it's almost a lost cause. So I might as well vote for the party I tend to agree with the most.

If you were talking about the racism in Florida, then that crap about George Zimmerman was so 2013. I still have mixed opinions about going to Florida.

There could be other things that Florida has issues with other than apparent racism. I can see why Florida is unappealing though, but I really like Destin, FL. Their beaches are nice...

Response to: Marriage solution should be obvious Posted October 31st, 2014 in Politics

You know, tax benefits aside, I think having the government being involved in marriage is a good thing (considering everything Camaro has pointed out). However, I still don't understand why people who are married should get a tax break, because it seems like they're adding a cherry on top of an already sweet deal. Instead of the government discontinuing the benefits of marriage plus a tax break, wouldn't it be better to just give everyone the tax break, or rewrite the system where the tax bracket is equal in that aspect? That way, those who are married still get the protection they need in case of a divorce, child custody, death etc., while everyone else doesn't "suffer" (I use that term loosely) by paying more in taxes.

Although technically this is a Governors Race and not necessarily a midterm election, I will say that Greg Abbott will become the new Texas Governor. Not much will change there I don't think, though I feel he's better than Perry.

Oh yes. All those people who weren't able to get married for whatever reasons, of which there are many valid reasons -- for example one of the partners died, are automatically "bad parents". Great logic there!

I want to add something to this. My parents are divorced, which in theory would end any tax benefits my mom and dad would of had. Sure, my father had to pay child support, but there have been a number of times where the father would not contribute to his children after the divorce. You could argue that I have 'bad parents' for ending their marriage, but they had a good reason to (which quite frankly is too personal to share), and the children (me at the time) shouldn't be indirectly penalized for what they chose to do. What if the husband was very abusive to his wife and to his children? Should the government not give tax benefits to the mother and the kids after she manages to divorce her abusive husband?

Maybe there are tax benefits to single parents, but it hasn't been addressed yet.

I don't think he cares about you either.

You are basically responsible for everything wrong with this country.

How is it all his fault? What are you basing it on? All he told you was to "shut up". Yes, it was rude, but how can you conclude that he's suddenly a Republican? I didn't know saying "shut up" causes recessions and wars.

I can't stand looking upon the politics that you believe in and say it to everybody around the nation. It cringes and saddens me on why do you even do this in the first place?

I think Republicans, at times, have good points if they aren't bashing social issues like Gay Marriage. Also, both Republicans and Democrats tend to disagree with some members of their own party on a few things. No party is perfect.

Response to: It's official - cats are bad pets Posted October 20th, 2014 in General

I treat cats more like roommates than companions. Cats have the benefit to make really good pets for those who are not active or work too much away from home, and I think this "disease" they carry is ridiculous. All in all, I think this is just a biased article over a breed of animal which quite frankly is different from dogs. I love dogs just as much as cats by the way.

Here are some benefits of owning a cat: https://www.purina.co.nz/cats/getting-a-cat/benefits-of-having-a-cat/

and another: https://www.lovethatpet.com/cats/getting-started/benefits-of-owning-a-cat/

AND ANOTHER: http://mentalfloss.com/article/51154/8-benefits-being-cat-owner

See, I can be just as bias as the OP.

When Roger "was" Pink Floyd he ended up producing This awful piece of shit. David Gilmour is just as much a part of the band as he was. But, yeah they really needed him in this one.

Personally I find The Final Cut to be very underrated, but that may be because I'm biased. Roger Waters is probably my favorite musician; period.

And I guess for everyone who wants to hear Roger's music, he's releasing a solo album. There'll probably be a song about how much he regrets being a dick in Pink Floyd or something. After looking it up for a while, the last news about his solo album was in 2013 so either the album's never coming out or it's coming out soon. I dunno.

Have you heard his earlier solo works? If not, I would recommend Radio KAOS.

The Yahoo! article was also fairly down the middle. What I am looking for is legal proof of the program. Is this just happening or is there an actual law that forms the basis of this?

Some of my co-workers were talking about forfeiture at work. They also brought up Florida and Las Vegas being the most notorious for committing these unconstitutional acts. So, maybe it holds some light somewhere? Have you check any of the states Penal Codes?

Rydia, I wish you the best of luck on what you have been dealing with. I can't even imagine how much of a struggle it is...

I was just interviewed with the Williamson County Juvenile Department for the Juvenile Supervision Officer position. There's only one opening, and I felt like, even though I didn't wow them on my answers, they were decent. What I think I did well on was body language, the suit I wore, and my mannerisms. I plan on taking a tour of their facility in a couple of days.

Anyway, I haven't been replying on the politics forum much because of my job hunting (as you can see). xD
